We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

82| Grandpa

Y/N POV

Draco had been quiet. Not that I was complaining when he finally stop his talkative behaviour around me; it was just strange. He didn't even touch the food on the welcome feast - he just stared at it and told me to enjoy my meal.

On our usual night at Hogwarts, we used to talk about casual things before we went to sleep. Asking about how each other's day was when we clearly always together the whole day, how the dinner was, even sometimes he would rant about how annoying the trio was and I would make a joke about him being all dramatic. But last night, none of those happened, not even a goodnight kiss or anything. He just got in bed then we cuddled until the next morning.

Maybe he was tired after beating Harry up on the train.

I decided to ignore his strange act and focused on a new problem I was facing right now. We got a new potions teacher this year. Snape was assigned to be the DADA teacher, the dream job he had finally accomplished. The bad news was the new potions teacher was an old friend of my late grandpa.

My grandpa died during the time You-Know-Who was in search to gather people to be his followers. My family had been in Slytherin for I didn't know how long, but surely, we had been occupying this dungeon for generations. You-Know-Who thought my grandpa was as evil as him and he was disappointed when he discovered it was all the opposite, so he killed him.

Then this Slughorn guy had always shown up in every family gathering when I was little. I even mistook him as my grandpa when I was little because he acted like one.

"I'm sorry about your parents Y/N," Slughorn said when I passed by him with Draco in the corridor.

"You know him?" Draco asked.

"Of course she knows me. I'm her grandfather!" He exclaimed, gaining people's attention instantly. People started murmuring, some also gasped, even Draco did. See? This was why he was a piece of bad news. He was a complete nutter!

"He's not. He's just a friend of my late grandpa," I explained loudly so people could hear it.

"Please excuse us, professor," I said hurriedly as my hand was pulling Draco's to go with me.

We passed by Harry who was walking alone on our way back to the Slytherin's common room. I could feel how Draco tightened his grip on my hand when Harry glared at him before shifting his eyes to me. I really wasn't in the mood to hear boys bickering, but I was curious whether Harry had read my letter I sent a month ago or not. I specifically asked him to act like normal when the new school year started on the letter yet he still avoided me. Maybe he hadn't read it or he just wanted to ignore me.

"Why do you like staring at my girlfriend so much Potter?" Draco hissed.

"Can't I? She doesn't seem to mind," Harry argued back for the first time ever, I guessed.

"Wha–"

"Okay stop. Let's just go back Draco. Don't fight with anyone," I said while trying to pull him away from exchanging glares with Harry. I was definitely going to go mental if these boys were hanging around me all the time.

"I can't just act cool like what you want me to do in the letter Y/N," Harry yelled. He had got to be kidding me right now.

"What letter? Did you write to him Y/N?" Draco questioned.

"Oh wow, looks like you don't know that we've been exchanging letters, Malfoy," Harry provoked. I just wrote one to reply and now he acted this way; unbelievable.

"I thought we agreed on no more secrets Y/N."

"Are you going to break up with her again now?" Harry scoffed after letting out the driest laugh I had ever heard. Why was he acting this way now? I didn't want any of this to happen.
