An Unhealthy Addiction (Draco X Reader)

Chapter 6

I was honestly quite done with manipulation and being manipulated. It was all going to end. It was all going to end today. I walked into the great hall for dinner after having a skip day. I was ahead on all of my classes except for potions. That one I always struggled in but I didn't have it today. I strode up to Harry and tugged on his sleeve.

"We need to talk," I could feel all the eyes on me confused about what I was doing. Harry looked just as confused as he stumbled from the table and followed me from the great hall.

"Hey Y/N, whats up," Harry tried to flirt but it was a disappointing attempt.

"Don't whats up me Potter, I don't belong to anyone anymore. You had your shot, you missed it. I've moved on and I need to live my life," I knew that calling him Potter would hurt him but he hurt me first and I was frankly not pleased with the fact that he had been telling everybody to back off because I was his. I was most certainly not.

"I'm sorry. Please let me explain myself though. I deserve that," Harry replied.

"You deserve nothing Potter, absolutely nothing," I spat. But I stayed, I stayed to listen cause I knew he would talk.

"She really did have leverage over me, I think Hermione told you about that but you didn't believe her. I wouldn't either. She told me that I needed to kiss her. Or she would tell everyone about you," He sighed looking at the ground. So now I was confused.

"What in the hell are you talking about Potter. No one has any leverage over me," I tried to keep up the mask because I did want to know what she knew that I wasn't even aware of.

"Your mark," He said. I squinted at him and giggled, utterly confused.

"Oooooh my mark," I mimicked him and lightly laughed.

"So I take it you haven't seen it," He replied. I gave him a face clearly telling him that I had no idea what in the name of Merlin he was talking about.

"You're absolute rubbish," I shrugged off his comment and he grabbed my arm. He lifted up my cloak, tapped my forearm, and muttered a spell to reveal a tattoo.

"Oh Harry, you must be joking. My parents imprinted that on me when I was born. A reminder Slytherin was the only house I was allowed to be in," On my arm was a snake wrapping around my forearm till it met the tail.

"You're parents never did that," He looked astonished that it was actually there, it had been there forever though, I'm surprised he hasn't seen it. I looked at him urging for him to finish his sentence. "Voldemort did that. It marks you as a chosen one," I could see the pain in his face. I could feel the pain in mine.

" Okay so you're telling me that Voldemort just came on into my home and shoved a mark on my arm and said oh ya by the way now she belongs to me and left?" I nearly shouted but a sharp look from Harry reminded me to be quiet. I shook my head and walked outside to sit on the grass. Harry followed close behind. "Alright. Say you are talking truth. What does that mean, what happened to me," I knew I was going to regret it but I needed to know why I was chosen and how.

"I was actually coming to talk to you about that," A voice from behind me made me jump just slightly, but I found a way to regain composure fairly quick before turning my head to see who had arrived. It was Dumbledore. "Harry you may go inside now, I need to talk to her alone," He started to walk to the lake so naturally I followed him, it was starting to get dark and I knew that soon was curfew but Dumbledore didn't seem to mind.

"Why me? I wan't answers, I deserve answers. And now," I stated.

"We all have no idea why it was you, we just found out around two months ago that the mark was imprinted on a person," He said looking out over the glittering lake.
