The Malfoys

Stay safe (y5)

I woke up peacefully for the first time since I've come here. I didn't have a nightmare or a horrible memory.

My heart plunged at the sound of my toilet flushing. The door unlocked as I held my breathe.

Draco walked out yawning and I finally breathed out.

"I thought.... what are you doing here?"

" oh I er couldn't get back to my room last night because more people came in so I crashed here - I would of asked but I couldn't wake you up"

" because of the sleeping draft you conveniently gave me last night ?" 

Why do I keep falling for it.

" no y/n it's not like that i-it really was a just a coincidence"

" so I should just believe you?"

" yes - I promise you. I didn't think they were coming this early -" he stopped himself.

" you knew they were  coming though? Why ? Are they planning something?"

"No - just please stay in here and don't leave"

" why? What going on ?"

" nothing you need to worry about" he turned to his draw and pulled out black trousers and a top.

" Draco tell me what's going on ?"

" no it won't make you feel any better and I could get in trouble if they find out"

I looked at the opposite wall as he started to get changed.

I heard him zip up his trousers and jumped out of bed so I could confront him face to face.

"What's going on Draco? Who am I going tell I'm trapped  in this house 24/7"

That's when I actually noticed that he  was still topless.

" sorry " I swiftly turned round as my cheeks went red.

" it's ok- I'm done"  he had his black shirt on.

"They're just planning something"

" are they going to attack the Weasleys? Go after Harry? Hermione ?what about-"

" you need to stop worrying about everyone else and start worry about keeping yourself safe. Like you said your stuck here and no one outside of the family is particularly fond of you" he sounded slightly annoyed at me.

" I -I can't all I can think is who's next? Which one of my friends will they kill? Capture? Torture? Whilst I sit here in my room doing nothing" 

" hey hey ! it's fine they're not going after anyone yet ok ? They're safe"

" for now"

" yes for now, but that's like all of us. We're not exactly the dark lords favourites. And by surviving and making it through this we win - ok?"

" then what are they planning?"

He sighed as he stared at the floor intently then back up to my eyes.

" they're going to break some people out of Azkaban"

" your dad ?"

" yeah if all goes well he should be home tonight"

"Why aren't you happy?"

"Yeah I am but then he'll  probably call another meeting and - I don't know he just seems like he has a strange interest in you"

I knew immediately who he meant. Voldemort.

" you have to control yourself around him - all of them- no outbursts, no arguing back"

"I- I can't" I started pacing and hyperventilating whilst he stood still watching.

" yes you can"

" no.. no I can't I- I hate them. I hate them all they take away everything  and anything good"
I radiated anger as a single tear slid down my face.

" so many people - good people- have died and been sacrificed for there stupid ideologies. They're insane , horrible, disgusting people. When I look at them all I see is the faces and the names of the people they've trampled on and I-I "

I didn't see it coming what happened next.

I felt two arms wrap round me as he rested his chin on top of my head which I buried into his chest. 

". Shh it's ok ?"

"No it's not"I cried into his shirt.

I slowed down my breathing till I could finally speak again but before I could he put his hands on my shoulders and pulled us apart so he could look me in my eyes.

"Look if you just stay in here everything should be fine- I'll try my best to make sure they leave you alone, but you have to stay here ok?"

" ok"

" if you want to get out then tell me and we can walk round the gardens or I can get mother, but don't go alone"

This I my life now. I looked at his feet. 

Before he continued he lifted my chin lightly so he could see my face.

" I need to go, promise me you'll stay in here"

"I promise"

He let go. Then walked to the door.

" I'll come back later tonight and I'll have to stay here because my rooms been taken - but I can sleep on the floor if you want?"

"No it's fine. It's big enough for the both of us"

I didn't want to admit it but I felt safer knowing he was there if I needed him.

He went to leave but I stopped.

" hey Draco"

"yeah" he turned to me one foot already out the door

" this doesn't mean I forgive you" I smiled.

" I know" he smiled back as he closed the door.

This was meant to be short scene 😂 but I went with it so hopefully I'll update the rest soon
