We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

7| The Malfoy Manor

Y/N POV

Time flew by so fast here. It was almost Christmas and some people had packed their luggage to go back home. A letter for me came at breakfast today saying that my parents were still on their holiday.

"Are you going home?" Draco asked.

"Apparently, my parents are still not home and look at this," I sighed, handing him the letter.

You're having Christmas with the Malfoys. Don't make any troubles there, have fun!

Draco smiled and handed me back my letter.

"Have you packed?" He asked.

"Yeah, but I don't think I'm going with you."

He sent me a confused look.

"Christmas is supposed to be spent with family, I'm not your family," I explained.

"My parents think so. Then you're coming, we're leaving this afternoon. I've got to pack my things."

He quickly finished the food and rushed to the dorm smiling like an idiot. Vincent and Greg were looking at me in suspicion.

"What?"

"We never knew your parents know each other," Greg started and Vincent nodded agreeing.

Ah right, they weren't supposed to know about it. Damn it.

"It's supposed to be a secret. However, I've considered you two as my friends. So, you're okay to know about this," I explained, getting up as I had finished my breakfast.

I left the great hall to go meet Hermione. I had become pretty good friends with her since she lent me another 2 muggle books. She was going home this Christmas to her muggle home.

Actually, I had seen her in the great hall with Harry and Ron earlier. I thought it wouldn't be a great time to talk to her since I wasn't friends with Harry and Ron. I already had 3 boys as my friends anyway, no need to add more.

"I've told my parents about you a lot. They'll be happy to meet you and your parents in the station," she said in excitement.

"Actually, Hermione...I'm not going home to my parents this year."

"So you're staying? Harry and Ron are staying too. They're quite friendly if you want to be friends with them, you know."

"Uh..no thanks, I'm having Christmas with the Malfoys. My parents told me in a letter," I faked a laugh.

She gave me an awkward smile. Honestly, Hermione was never in a good term with Draco. Somehow Draco always found a way to bully her, Harry and Ron without me. Draco never liked my friendship with her either but he couldn't do anything about it as I'd always win in any argument with him.

I sat in the train compartment with Draco. The candy lady came earlier and he bought the whole trolley! Was he planning on having diabetes this early?

"Have anything you want."

I chose a few random sweets and a chocolate frog. I took my mini pouch and offered him some galleons for the sweets but he refused to take it straight away, saying that everything was on him completely.

"I thought you liked sweets."

"I do."

"Then take more," he said after passing me a disbelief look.

"You don't have to be so hesitant," he added.

"I am not planning on catching diabetes anytime soon," I stated.

"Then who's gonna eat all of this?" He asked.

"Why ask me? You're the one who bought it."

"I thought it'd be nice if I bought it for you. You know since on Halloween.."

"Don't buy things for me Draco," I replied before looking at the windows.

"But thanks anyway," I said after glancing at him.

He looked sad, just sad.

What's with me? He's just trying to be nice. Ugh, I hate myself.

"Fine, I'll eat some more," I sighed giving up.

"But you're eating too," I demanded.

•••

I was sure I'd have diabetes after eating that many sweets. Even on Halloween, I didn't eat that many.

The train stopped, indicating we had reached the King's Cross station. Draco led me to the exit. He helped me take out my belongings. We waited at the train station a little bit more because his parents weren't here yet.

"Do you decorate your house for Christmas?" I asked.

"Sometimes, depends on the family's mood."

"Oh.."

"I expect to decorate some rooms since you're staying with us this Christmas," he said giving me a rest-assured smile and I smiled back.

Came to think of it, Draco had never really thrown a genuine smile to anyone except me in Hogwarts. He usually just smirk and give everyone a smug smile full of his pride. Well, he probably thought we were on the same level or something. Not that I care.

Draco's parents finally came. They apologised to us, no maybe they apologised to just me, for being late. They said there was an urgent matter that couldn't be slipped away.

They brought us to the manor. It was huge yet so dark and gloomy. I didn't think we would be able to celebrate Christmas here. The atmosphere didn't pass the Christmas vibe.

Draco showed me to the room I would be staying which was across his room. A big bedroom, still gloomy but I supposed I'd be just fine with it. I thanked him as he put my luggage beside the wardrobe.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"Did you forget about how much sweets I had eaten earlier?"

He chuckled then walked to leave my room.

"If you need anything, you can always ask me. I'm just a few steps away," he said before closing the door.

I put some of my clothes into the wardrobe. I glanced at the bed wondered if it was as soft as my bed back home.

"Oh, Lord!"

It was perfect.

I rolled myself on the bed. Finally got to sleep in a comfortable bed after a while. Not saying that Slytherin's bed were awful, but this bed was on another level of comfort.

"What happened?" Draco barged in.

"I love this bed."

"Thought you injured yourself, don't scream for a silly reason."

"All right, sorry. Seriously though, Draco, it feels like I'm back home."

We laughed together until Narcissa, also known as Draco's mom, called us to go down for dinner.

"You don't have to go down if you aren't hungry," he suggested.

"Oh come on, I'm no rude kid," I playfully hit his arm.

"Wow, you're so bad in analysing things," he giggled.

"Get out of my room now."

"It was a joke."

"Would you rather get kicked? I gotta change. Get. Out."

I had to push him to leave the room. I changed to simpler clothes to wear around the manor. Draco was waiting for me in front of my room. I never asked yet he just did it.

"I'm trying to be a nice host," he blurted as if he read my mind.

"Yeah, whatever," I muttered.

We went down to the dining hall. His parents were already seated. I sat beside Draco and the food was served straight away.

We talked about random things during dinner. I wanted to scream boring but that would get my ass kicked out of the manor so I went along with the play.
