Malfoy Neighbors

Christmas Morrning-Year 5 Chapter 17

Draco let go of your hands and pulled you into him, while you were still locked in the kiss. You let his lips go and looked at him.

"I love you, (y/n)." Draco whispered. You wrapped your arms around his neck, smiling.

"I love you too, my Slytherin Prince." You gave him a quick kiss.

"What are you doing awake?" Draco asked you. He took your hand and lead you back to your bed.

"I couldn't sleep." You said as the two of you sat down. "Dameon just attacked me about an hour ago, and I felt helpless." You rested your head on Draco's shoulder. "I don't want to feel that way again." You sat with Draco for a few minutes talking.

"Well, you should get some sleep." Draco suggested as you let out a yawn. You nodded and layed down. Draco coverd you up and said good night.

"Are you going back to your room?" You asked, as he headed to the door.

"I was gonna sit in the hall again." Draco answered you.

"Oh..." You said, sounding disappointed.

"Did you want me to go to my room?" Draco looked puzzled.

"No I..." You felt your face trun red. It had been so long sence Draco was able to make you blush.

"You want me to stay here." Draco said figuring out what you wanted. He smiled at you and climbed into the bed next to you. It wasn't like you had never slept next to him before, but for some reason, this felt different. You curled up into him.

"I missed this." Draco whispered. You lifted your head to look at him. "I miss holding you." You layed your head back down and smiled.

"Draco? Do you know where (n/n) is? I haven't seen him all night." You asked him, as you closed your eyes.

"He's sleeping on my bed." Draco said halfway asleep.

"That's good." You barely got out before you fell asleep.

Draco's pov

The worm sunshine came through your window. Draco opend his eyes to find you sound asleep in his arms. He ran his fingers threw your hair. It was soft, and he liked playing with it. Draco got out of bed and pulled the cover back over you. He was looking out the window, when you woke up.

Your pov

"It's snowing." You said sleepily. Draco must not have released you woke up for he jumped, and looked back at you.

"Yeah." He said plainly, looking back out the window. You climbed out of the bed and found your way to the window yourself. "We should head downstairs." Draco said after a minute.

"Yeah..." you said softly. "We should." You gave Draco a kiss on the cheek before he left your room so you could get dressed for the day. You and Draco joined everyone else in the Drawing Room. The Christmas tree was lit up and there were gifts galore. After all the gifts were opend, you sat on the couch next to Draco.

"I thought you two broke up." Perkinson said coldly, standing in front of you and Draco.

"We did." Draco replied.

"Then what gives?" She asked in a jealous tone. You rolled your eyes. She was a complete moron.

"I asked him..." The Dark Lord hissed from behind her. Perkinson jumped and spun on the spot. "To watch over her."

"My Lord...I...So, their...not back together?" Perkinson asked him, but he didn't respond. He walked away towards Lucius.

"Perkinson," Draco said. She truned back to face him. "No, we are, technically, not together." You looked at him too. You knew it was true. You and Draco couldn't be an item, because he said so. It wasn't fair though. Why was it that you couldn't be with Draco? Draco was charged as your protector, but why did you need to be protected? You looked away from Draco to look at The Dark Lord as he spoke to Lucius.

"I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll be right back." You said and walked out the the room. You put on your winter coat and head outside. The snow was deep but there was a path around the manner. You walked around for a while thinking about the qustions you kept asking. Noone seem to know the answers, or at least, they weren't going to give you the answers. You were getting cold and thought you would go back inside and worm up. As you walked back inside, you heard The Dark Lord speaking.

"He was found too quickly, Snape." He hissed. The Dark Lord seemed vary angry at the thought that someone wasn't going to die. "He should have died that night."

"I know, my Lord." Snape replied.

'When did Snape get here?' You thought.

"It was Potter, who found him. He dreamed he was the snake that attacked Aurther Weasley." Sanpe continued. Author Weasley? Was that the Weasley's dad? You would ask Ginny when you got back to school.

"Then..." Voldemort trailed off, apparently in deep thought. "He can see what I'm seeing." He finished his thought after a little bit.

"It seems that way, my Lord." You heard Lucius say. You didn't want to be cought listening, so you continued into the other room. Draco, Narcissa and the others guests at the Malfoy Manner were still in the Drawing Room. You stood at the entrance of the room and watched them. None of them was going to tell you what you needed to know.

'Perhaps, the one that would be able to give me the truth is the one I want nothing to do with.' You thought.

"In deed, I can. For the most part." The hissing voice of Voldemort sounded from behind you. You truned to see Snape, Lucius and The Dark Lord himself. Was he talking to you?

"Go ahead," Voldemort said to the other two. Sanpe and Lucius walked passed you, into the Drawing Room.

"What do you want the answers to?" Voldemort asked you. You were taken aback.

"Ok... for starters..." you hesitated. "How did you know what I was thinking?"

"Legilimency." He answered calmly. You looked at him confused. What on earth was that?
