Malfoy Neighbors

Forgiveness-Summer 2 Chapter 2

The next morning you walked over to the Malfoy manner. You sent (n/n) inside to get Draco due to the fact the the gate was locked. (N/n) squeezed between the poles and ran to the mansion. You didn't have to wait long before you saw Draco carring (n/n) out the front door.

"I thought you were here." Draco said unlocking the gate. (N/n) climbed onto your shoulder while Draco stepped out.

"I thought for sure you were never going to willing talk to me agian." He locked the gate again.

"Yeah, well, I'm still mad at you, but you have the answer to my qustions." You said walking back to your gardens.

"What qustions are those?" Draco asked curiously.

"For starters, why do you like me? I'm a, 'mudblood', after all." You said doing air quotes.

"I already told you once. I care about you because you intreag me." You looked at him like he was crazy. You got to the garden after a few minutes of walking. Draco sat down on the bench and went on. "You're not like anyone else. You're sweet and kind." You felt your face heat up. "I know you hate me. I know I've lost your trust. But I still like you."

"I know, but why me?" You sat down next to him. (N/n) jumped down off your shoulder and ran off. "I mean, Parkinson likes you."

"I know she does. She's had a church on me sence we were seven. She'll do anything I tell her to."

"So why don't you like her?" You were looking at your feet wondering why you were asking him these questions.

"Because, I like you." He said looking at you.

"But why?" You looked up to meet his eyes. He was looking at you with the kindest look he'd ever given you.

"I like you," He looked up at the sky. "Because you're not like anyone else."

You stood up, feeling your face trun red. He kept saying that. What made you different?

"Is it because I'm not a pureblood like you?" You asked.

"No, it's because you talk back to me. You get mad at me for things you should get mad about. You treat me like everyone else. You don't fallow me blindly like the others do. You also don't just ignore me. Even when you are ignoring me, you still see me as someone your mad at. That's why I like you." You wanted to stay mad, but you felt like he was telling the truth.

"Ok, so my next question," You faced him. "Why did you tell your friends that you wanted to help Slytherins heir?"

"I told them that becuase I'm a Malfoy. I'm suppose to hate mud..." he stoped mid-word and looked you in the face. "I'm not suppose to fall for a muggle-born." You sat back down.

"So it was only to make you sound normal?" You wanted the truth.

"Yeah, but how did you know what I said anyways." You gave him a schocked look.

"Ummm, if I tell you, you have to promise not to get mad or seek revenge." Draco looked at you confused. "Promise me." You said.

"If I promise will you not be mad anymore?" Draco bargained. You nodded slightly. "Ok, I promise."

"Just so you know, if you break this promise I will go back to being mad." You started. You told him how Potter and Weasley snuck into the Slytherin common room. The look the Draco's face was anger but then he calmed down.

"That was acutely pretty sneaky of them." He said, standing up facing away.

"Do you..." Draco paused for a moment then started over. "Do you still hate me?" His voice was hurt by having to ask. Before you realized it, you were hugging him from behind, shaking you head into his back. He truned around.

"I never really hated you." You were fighting back the tears. "I was angry and scared. I was scared of the beast and that you wanted to help it." The tears started falling. You couldn't stop them. You felt a hand on your face wipe away the tears.

"I know. You should never have to feel that way." Draco pulled you into a tight hug. "I'm sorry." He whispered in your ear. "And it is my falt you were petrified." You pulled back a little to look at him. Your face soaked in tears.

"If I wouldn't have said what I said, then you wouldn't have gotton mad at me and sent me this back." He pulled the niffler necklace from his pocket.

"You've been carring that around with you?" You looked supersized. He nodded and put it back around you neck.

"You wouldn't have gone back inside if I would just have left you alone in the stands that day." He said pulling you back into a hug. Why was it that you couldn't stay mad at him? You pulled away and pecked him on the cheek before going back to the hug.

Draco's pov

He was still holding you in the garden. 'Did she just kiss my cheek?' He questioned himself. He could feel his face trun from his normal flesh color to a light pink. He tightened his grip for just a split second and released you.

"You are so beautiful." He spoke softly moving your hair back behind you ear. You truned a deep red but couldn't take your eyes from his.

Your pov

Your eyes were glued to his. It was like he had you intransed. You smiled and leaned back into him, breaking the eye contact. (N/n) came crawling up you to your shoulder, getting between you and Draco.

"(N/n)." You both said laughing.

"I better get back before my father comes looking for me." Draco said, truning to leave.

"I like you too." You finaly told him. The words sort of fell out of your mouth. He truned back and smiled.

"I'll see you later, (y/n)" you weren't mad at him anymore. You watched him walk back. Wishing things were different.
