My Brother's Enemy (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

The Journal

(Y/N) Pov

I decided to take a stroll, there was something bugging me and I needed to clear my head, I said goodbye to Draco and aimlessly walked around the castle. I had a great time messing with Harry and Ron but there was something in this puzzle that wasn't making sense, no matter how much I thought about it.

I was near the bathroom from the third floor, the ground was filled with water and Moaning Myrtle was crying.

Myrtle: Came to throw something else at me?

(Y/N): No, I was just taking a stroll and why in Merlin's name would I do that?

Myrtle: Don't ask me. Here I am minding my own business, and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me.

(Y/N): Are you alright?

Myrtle: I like you, you're the first to ask me that, people normally think that just because I'm a ghost it doesn't hurt but it's still uncomfortable.

(Y/N): Do you know who threw it at you?

Myrtle: I don't know. I didn't see it. I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death, and it fell through the top of my head.

She turned away crying, and it made me feel bad for her, I mean she's already a ghost and on top of that she still has to deal with people messing with her just cause of it. I looked for the book that was thrown at her.

It was some sort of journal, it looked really similar to the one Draco and I have, but that not what shocked me, no what shocked me was the name on the cover.

(Y/N): Tom Marvolo Riddle. It can't be.

I grabbed the journal tightly and went back to my Common Room.

When I got there, I sat at a  desk, everyone was already asleep, so turned on the light that was on the desk. I was going to open the journal, hoping to find something that could prove my theory.

The person that was been sending me letters signs them with T. M. R, the same initials as the journal's owner. It had to be connected, besides this guy's last name is Riddle and that centaur back in the forest last year, called me Riddle. I feel like this is the most important part of this whole puzzle that has been surrounding me.

But I got disappointed when I opened the journal, the pages where blank, all of them, there wasn't anything on one of them. But then I remembered something I thought of when I first grabbed this diary, it looks really similar to the one I have so maybe it works just like mine too.

Just in case I was wrong about this, I decided that instead of writing I would just let a drop of ink slip into it, the ink was absorbed and disappeared like nothing happened just like mine. Words started to appear on the page.

It said, who are you, it would be kinda creepy if I wasn't already used to it, but let's be honest a lot of things are creepy in the Wizarding World and nobody cares about it.

(Y/N): My name is (Y/N) Potter, are you Tom?

??: Yes, I am. I see you found my journal.

(Y/N): Yes and I have some questions. Questions that I think only you can answer.

Tom: Ah, yes. In due time but I must say that I've been dying to meet you.

(Y/N): Will you answer my questions?

Tom: If it's questions about the letters, then I'm afraid it's not time for you to know about that yet, just a little longer and we'll meet face to face and then you'll get to know everything.

(Y/N): What do you mean? Who are you to me?

My words disappeared but Tom didn't write me back, so I closed the journal and went to sleep feeling defeated. I guess I'll have to wait until we meet each other, I just hope it will be soon.

Next Day

I was on my way to get breakfast when I heard that Hermione was in the Medical Wing, so I changed my direction and went to meet her instead.

(Y/N): Are you okay? What happened?

Hermione: I'm alright, I told you I wouldn't take the Polyjuice Potion but it came to my mind that if I didn't take it with them, they would think it's weird so I grabbed a hair from Millicent Bulstrode's clothes, it turns out that it was a cat's hair, so I temporarily turned into a cat and now I'm coughing up fur balls.

I looked down, feeling a bit guilty but I knew that if I apologized, she would just get mad at me and say that I had nothing to apologize for, so I decided to change the subject, we made small talk for a while but it was almost time for class so I had to leave but not before she made me promise to take notes of the classes for her and give her the homework.

I went to class, Tom's journal inside my bag, I had tried to talk to him again this morning but he kept changing the subject to trivial things, at least it's better than him ignoring me like he did last night.

I was bored so I took the journal out of my bag, Draco looked at me but decided to pay attention to class, I would tell him about this later either way.

(Y/N): Hey Tom, do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?

Tom: I could show you but if I show you, you'll recognize me since you saw me before, you may not know why you saw me but you'll slowly connect the facts and we don't want that.

(Y/N): So you won't tell me about this either?

Tom: No, I guess we'll just have to talk about other things that don't include you, me and the Chamber of Secrets.

I looked up from the diary and the teacher was looking at me so I closed the journal and payed attention to class. The only thing that I felt was anger, I hoped I would get the answers I wanted but all this mystery is really starting to get on my nerves, I hope that all this at least pays off in the end.
