Malfoy Neighbors

The Secret Keeper-Summer 2 Chapter 4

You sat on the foot of Draco's bed. Draco sat down next to you and pulled you into him. You leaned into him. He was being so sweet. You had fallen for him alright.

"I didn't think you were going to go home right away. Wait here, ok?" He kissed you on the forehead and stood up. "I'll be right back." Draco said, walking out of his room. You looked around his room. The paiting you did for him was posted above his headboard. It looked good there. There wasn't a whole lot that decorated his room. He moved the Slytherin flag, that was over his bed, to the back of the door. You looked out his window.

"I can see my garden." You said smiling to yourself. Draco was taking a long time. You sat back down on the foot of his bed. A few more minutes went by and you layed back. The mattress was comfy. You layed there stringing at the ceiling for a while before the door opend again. You rolled your head over to see Draco in the door way.

"Are you comfy?" He asked walking in. You nodded and sat up. "My father knows you're here. Your staying the night tonight." You stood up. "The room next to mine is being made up for you as we speak." He walked over to you. "My father sent Arrow over to let your parents know, and he wants to speak with you." You didn't really want to talk to Locuis Malfoy, but you agreed to have a word with him.

"You're comming with me." You said grabbing Draco's hand and pulling him threw the door. He led you down the stairs and into the drawing room. Both Draco's parents set on the couch.

"I hear you found out you're not what you thought." Mr. Malfoy said coldly. You nodded nervously. Draco was still holding your hand. He pulled you over and sat you down across from his father and then sat beside you.

"I heard you talking with my parents." You said shyly. You looked at Draco then back at Mr. Malfoy. "I want to know the truth."

"I wish I could tell you." He said looking at his son for a spilt second.

"But you can, you know the truth." You protested. Your eyes shifted to Draco's mom as if to ask her.

"I'm your fathers secret keeper. I can't tell anyone anything." He said standing and walking to the flickering fire. You looked at Draco in a questioning sort of way.

"A secret keeper is someone entrusted with a secret. They can't tell anyone by force." Draco explained. You looked back at Mr. Malfoy.

"But I'm asking for the information." You said. "I'm not torching it out of you."

"I'm not going to betray your father." He said turning back to face you.

"So I'm suppose to just except this?" You said upset. "My family is hidding something from me! You know what that something is! I know my aunt was in Slytherin because I found her old school robes. Then I find out that both my parents had wands?! I know you know what they are hidding becuase I heard you talking to them! You told them to do something! I don't even care what that something is right now! I want to know who I am! I want to know why they are keeping it from me! I deserve to know the truth!" You screamed at him before storming back out of the room.

Draco's pov

"She's clearly upset." Mr. Malfoy said to his son.

"She has that right." Draco said to his father with a forced calm voice. "She's been lied to her whole life. Why won't you just give her the truth?" Draco was talking calmly but his temper was rising.

"I can't, I gave her father the sworn oath that I would never tell her the truth." He truned back to the fire. "Now, her room should be ready. Show her to her room." Mr. Malfoy said sitting back down.

"Fine." Draco got up trying his hardest to keep his composure, and walked out.

Your pov

Draco shut the door behind him and took your hand.

"Let's go for a walk before bed." He said pulling you to the front door. He was clearly upset too.

"Where are we going?" You asked, catching up to walk beside him. He didn't say anything, and was walking so fast it was hard to keep up.

"Draco?" You asked. He didn't respond. "Draco!" You yelled. He was still not responding to you. It was getting harder to keep up, with your walk truning to a slow run. "Malfoy! Slow down!" You screamed. He stopped walking. "Thankyou." You panted.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry," he truned and pulled you into a hug. "I didn't mean to make you run to keep up."

"Why are you so upset?" You asked him, pulling out of the hug.

"He gave a sworn promise to never tell you the truth." You looked at him with a tilted head. "He can never give you the truth. There is no way for my stupid father to tell you what you deserve to know." You looked away.

"Where are we?" You said looking around. The moon was so bright and the stars were so clear.

"We're in my favorite place on the Malfoy grounds. I come here to calm down when I'm upset." Draco answered. You loved how gorgeous the sight was. A small creek flowed a few yards away from where you stood. The reflection from the moon's light danced along the rippling waters.

"It's so beautiful." You said mesmerized. You felt a hand on you chin pulling it to make you look at Draco.

"With you here, it's perfect." Draco said looking you in your eyes. Your heart skipped again. You wanted him to kiss you at that moment. He was so different outside of school. You wanted him to stay this way.

Draco's pov

'Her eyes are so beautiful, in the moon light.' Draco thought as his eyes were transfixed to yours. 'Why do I like her so much? I want to pull her into my arms and lever let her go. She deserves to feel safe and I let her down last year.' The two of you staired into each others eyes for about a minute before he looked away.

"Come with me." Draco grabbed your hand and pulled you along slowly. You leaned into him as you walked together.

Your pov

"Draco?" You said looking up at him as the two of you kept walking.

"Hum?" He hummed.

"Are we...?" You started then paused, not wanting him to say no.

Draco's pov

'Dateing? Is that what she was going to say?' He blushed a little. 'I want to call her my girlfriend. Whould she really want to date me?' His thoughts were going wild then looked at you, still walking.

"Dating?" He finished your qustion, and stopped walking. "If you want to."
