The other side of Draco || Enemies to lovers

10- the malfoys

I didn't know how to react, never would i have thought that the harry potter would like me.

I pulled my hand out of his. I like draco! I had only just gotten closer to draco and here was harry saying he liked me.

"Why do you always have to ruin things potter?" I yelled, i didn't know what else to say.

"Scarlett, I'm sorry" he stammered

I was soo confused, so i just turned and ran to the fireplace.

It was all blurry from tears, what was my address again? I forgot.
"Malfoy manor" I half whispered.

"Scarlett" i heard potter call after me, then i was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malfoy manor front yard

In all the places in the world, i said malfoy manor, why oh why did I say malfoy manor?
It was too late for regrets now, i had to do something

The giant manor loomed over me, there wasn't a single plant in sight, it almost seemed like a ghost town.
I walked up to the enormous front door, was this the right place? Had i said it correctly?
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, at first there was no reply, but then a lady with black and blonde hair opened the door.

"Who are you?" She demanded

"Hi, I'm Scarlett May, I'm draco's... friend... from school"

"Yes, and? What do you want?"

What did i want? I wanted to go home, or use their floo network.

"Draco invited me over" i lied

"Draco" the lady called "a girl is here to see you, Scarlett May? Did you invite her over?"

Oh dang, this is where they find out im draco's enemy and they try to kill me, i had heard they were death eaters.

"Oh hi Scarlett" draco said sweetly, too sweetly, this is where i get expose, i just know it.

"yes mother, I did invite her"
As i said, draco was full of surprises, i couldn't belive my ears! Or maybe he did that to ask me what i want for a last meal...

"Why didn't you tell mommy" ms. Malfoy told draco "well run along then"

"Thanks ms. Malfoy" i said before running off with draco.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you think your doing?" Draco whisper yelled at me as he closed his bedroom door behind us.

"I- I'm sorry" i burst into tears.

Draco got a real surprise out of this.

"Scarlett, don't cry" he said awkwardly patting me on my back, he then muttered "Gee I'm glad i didn't have a sister"

Still i kept crying

"What's wrong?" He asked "and why are you here?"

So i explained everything that happened to me in the cafe after he left.

"Wait, potter likes you?" He asked after I've finished

"Yea" i said grimly

"Its ok, its your choice, you can go with potter if you want" i could hear a tone of sadness in his voice.

"That's the thing" I explained "i- want- to. Go. With... you"

"What! Really?" There was exitement in draco's voice.

"Yes, I've liked you since the first day draco"

"Me too Scarlett" we stared in each others etes for a while until ms. Malfoy called us for dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dinner

"So tell me again dear, what was your name?" Ms. Malfoy asked me

"Scarlett May" i said through a mouthful of beef.

"Ahh the Mays, are you in slytherin?" She asked

"Yes i am ma'am" i politely said. I felt really rude by coming to their house with basically no permission, then eating their dinner! So now i was trying to make up for it.

"Is your mother, Ivory May by any chance?" Ms. Malfoy questioned

"Y- yes ma'am" i replied, why was she asking me this?

"Oh, my dearest Ivy, it cant be!" Ms. Malfoy looked like ahe was in heaven!

"Is something wrong ma'am?" I asked

"Call me Ms. Malfoy please Scarlett, and no, nothing is wrong, infact it's wonderfu-..." then she trailed off "Oh, something is wrong".

I was soo confused right now.

Ms. Malfoy checked the clock on the wall, "have you told your parents you'll stay this late Scarlett?"

I choked on a potato, oh no, I was meant to be home by 5.30 at the latest! "Oh my gosh i haven't!" I started to panick.

"Thats alright dear, we have floo powder here, just come this way, hurry now" Ms. Malfoy said rushing me.

"Bye draco" i waved

"Bye Scarlett" draco hugged me

Once again, i was taken aback, i should get used to draco doing unexpected things.

"Scarlett!" Came Ms. Malfoy's voice from the lounge

"Coming" i ran to the lounge

"Come again" draco called after me.
