We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

98| A Snowy Embrace

Y/N POV

After what happened 2 days ago in which we cuddled all night when he cried his eyes out, I could say that we were going better. The cuddles somehow helped with the icy atmosphere between us. I still didn't talk as much as I used to but he didn't complain about that either. Instead, he kept showering me with his love whenever he got back from his workout routine which still sounded suspicious.

Seeing Draco cried that night was a true shock to me. Draco had always been a tough person in front of me. He built up an image of a strong, unyielding person for himself and until 2 days ago, the only one who dared to straight-out shed a tear between us was only me.

I went to accompany Theo to check up on his nose along with Blaise today. Madam Pomfrey told us that Theo had pretty much healed his broken nose and it was all thanks to our head nurse's excellent skill. The git Draco still didn't want to apologise for what he did to Theo but I had apologised on his behalf right the next day after he punched him and of course, the victim forgave him because we were friends.

I thanked the Lord for making Theo a very nice guy. He understood the situation after I told him and Blaise that Draco and I were in some sort of a problematic time that it made him act that way, as in to be a complete lunatic.

"My nose is okay, I hope you two can work things out soon. You wouldn't want to spend New Year alone like this boy over here," Theo chuckled, giving a light smack on Blaise's back.

"Right, act as if you actually have someone to snog," Blaise replied, rolling his eyes at the other boy.

"I'm so sorry about Mandy," I said.

"Don't be, I'm happy to have her gone. We should never forgive a cheater," Blaise mumbled.

This hit me hard. I was still doubting about Draco's secret Ravenclaw girls. Draco was like a kind of different person now, a mysterious one who kept secrets from me. He never really explained the thing about what he made me believe to be only imaginary girls. The thing was, I also kept the whole engagement thingy a secret from him.

However, my secret was made for a good reason; I just wanted to surprise him later. And yet, this also sent guilt to my heart. Sometimes, I just thought that perhaps I didn't have a right to force him to spill everything when I, myself, did hide something from him; be it about Valentine's incident which was in the past and the one in the future about our relationship.

"Aw...poor Zabini still missing his ex at night," Theo teased.

"Oh shut up!" Blaise groaned before turning to me and said, "Are you coming to the party this year? Or are you gonna shag the crazy man?"

"Ooh, the second option sounds really good but meh. Are you talking about Slytherin annual party for the new year?" I asked curiously.

It was actually a tradition to party all night in the Slytherin dungeon to celebrate New Year together with friends. Draco and I usually ditched it to go somewhere else instead, even when we weren't a couple yet because we'd rather have some private times without any imbeciles bothering us. Came to think of it, maybe we did fall for each other from long ago. How could I miss that out?

"Obviously, who can throw a better party than us?" He replied.

I smiled smugly at the two boys, clearing my throat and do a marvellous hair flip before saying, "Well, this little rich lady is the main sponsor of the party this year."

"Adopt me Y/N," Theo joked.

"Yeah, adopt him then disown him straight away," said Blaise while exchanging little punches with Theo.
