Unconditionally

chapter 7

I’m sorry for not updating in a while! I have this idea in my head, but I suck at writing it down in words, and I just didn’t have much time, I’m really sorry! In this chapter Ethelyn/Draco, will tell the hufflepuffgirls who she is. I hope you like it.

“I’m going to the library guys, see you later. ” Harry stood up from his chair in the Gryffindor commonroom, he and Draco had agreed in meeting there to work on their potionsproject. “You don’t seem to mind it that much, having to work with Malfoy, why is that?” Hermione asked.

“Malfoy may hate me, and I hate him, but I know that he cares about his grades very much, and I’m pretty sure he’ll work hard on the assignment, instead of insulting and fighting like usual. His grades are just too important to him.” And with that, he left the common room and walked down to the library.

Draco had chosen a table in the back of the library, where people wouldn’t focus too much on him and Harry. That way they didn’t have to pretend to hate each other, no one was watching anyway. He sat in one of the chairs, waiting for his boyfriend to arrive. On the table he had placed a few books he thought were useful for the assignment, and now he just sat there, waiting.

Not even two minutes later Harry Potter walked into the library, his eyes immediately looking for Draco. Once he found him, he walked towards said boy and sat down next to him. “Sorry I’m late, Ron and Hermione were holding me up. They can’t believe I don’t hate the fact I have to work with ‘That git of a Malfoy’” The blonde boy smiled “Of course they don’t, they don’t know about us. Now let’s go to work shall we?”

“We have to look up for ourselves how to make the potion, and we’ll get three lessons to make it. I’ve got these books, I’m sure one of them will contain the potion. If you look through that one, I’ll take this one okay?” Harry nodded and started reading through the book Draco had pointed at.

After they found the page on Amortentia, both boys started copying the text. Not soon after, both were finished. “I’ll put away the books okay? You go and tell your friends about the horrible studysession with Malfoy. ” “I’ll help you, I can talk to my friends later. ” They both grabbed a book, and walked to the shelf with potionbooks. “Bye Draco, see you later.” And with a small kiss on his mouth, Harry walked away.

                                                                  

After putting the books away, Draco walked out of the library and headed straight to the room of requirement. As soon as he walked in, it changed into the usual room, filled with clothes, make-up and jewellery. It took her a while to choose her outfit for todat, but once she was done, she was satisfied with the way she looked.

Her hair was long, curly and black, with dark red highlights. And she wore a darkgreen tanktop above darkblue jeans. Slytherin coloured earrings, and a golden necklace with an emerald. She smiled in the mirror, before walking out of the room, looking for Celeste, Dabria, Dawn and Kiana.

It didn’t take Ethelyn long to find the girls, as they were sitting under the same tree as last time. As soon as she walked closer to them, Dabria saw her and jumped up. “Hey Ethelyn! Nice to see you again!” Ethelyn smiled and ran to the girl. “Hey Dabria! What are you doing?” She sighed “Those nerds are doing homework, which is boring, so I’m not doing it, I’ll copy it from them later. ” Ethelyn grinned “That sounds like a Slytherin, not a Hufflepuff?”

“The hat doubted between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, but obviously, I’m a hufflepuff now. Now, lay down, and relax while I ask you questions.” She smiled and lay down on the grass as Dabria told her. “Which house are you in? From your character, you seem like a Hufflepuff, but, then we would probably know who you were. ”

                                                                      From now I write in Ethelyn’s point of view.

“I’m a slytherin, but yeah, I’m only there because I needed to be there for my father. Otherwise I’d probably be a Gryffindor, or even a Hufflepuff, my father would probably disown me if that happened..” Celeste looked at me in shock “Disown you?! Just because you’re not in Slytherin? That’s so unfair!” “Tell us something more about yourself, are you seeing someone?” That was kiana, I smiled at the thought of Harry, “Yes, I have a boyfriend, we have a secret relationship.  And, before you ask, no, he doesn’t know. I have no idea how to tell him.”

“You probably wouldn’t tell us who he is right?” I shook my head. “No, I’m sorry. ” “Doesn’t matter, would you mind if we try to find out who you are? ” I thought about it, they seemed trustable, they wouldn’t tell anyone, I was sure, but I could never just tell them. “I don’t think I do, I could never just tell you, but maybe it would be easier if at least someone knew...”

“Okay, we’ll ask question. Of course you can choose not to answer. ” Dawn said “You look around our age, so are you a sixth year?” I nodded. They would find out who I was soon, that was sure. I became nervous.

“A sixth year, Slytherin boy. Okay, that could be Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe.  Right?” I nodded again. “Honestly, I don’t think Crabbe and Goyle were forced into Slytherin by their parents, they’re just too stupid, scared or mean to be in one of the other houses.  ” When I nodded, she went on. “So that leaves Zabini, Malfoy and Nott. Zabini is black, so unless you’ve transfigured your skincolour too, you’re not him. Am I right?” I swallowed “Yes, you’re right.” I looked at her, but avoided her eyes. It was obvious she was thinking hard about it.

Celeste looked behind me and seemed to look closely, I turned around to see the other boys from my year walking together to the forest, Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini and Nott. Celeste looked at me and smiled “You’re Draco Malfoy.”

I closed my eyes, expecting them to send me away, or laugh at me, anything. What I didn’t expect was Dawn walking over to me and give me a hug. She looked at Celeste and corrected her. “No, Ethelyn Malfoy. ” I smiled at her and blushed. “Now I think about it, it kinda makes sense you know? There aren’t many guys who care that much about their hair, or the way they look. ” She had a point, even as a boy, I really cared about the way I looked.

“Ethelyn, don’t think for a moment we would leave you, just because you’re a Malfoy. You’ve told us enough to understand that the Malfoy everyone knows, isn’t the real one. ” I felt like I could cry, so emotional did those words make me. “Thank you so much.. ”

I hope you liked it, Please leave a review behind.
