Chapter 3| Kissing Cousins

"Your mum's sister, is my mum" Draco says. "I'm sorry?" I said confused. "We're related Y/N" He says awkwardly. "No..." I said. "Yeah, you think they would've told us that" He says. "Maybe it's because your mother gave you away, so your technically not her daughter" He says. "No, I was never adopted by the Grangers, Bellatrix is my mother" I said. "You want her to be your mother?" He asks. "Maybe she's not a saint but she's my mother, and yes, I do want a mother" I said before storming off.

Harry's POV:

As the feast had began everyone dug into their food. I was eating as well until I looked up and saw Draco whispering to Y/N. I sit and stare at the two as he continues to whisper to her. "Harry?!" Hermione exclaims. "What?" I ask. "What are you looking at?" She asks. "Nothing" I said looking back down at my plate. She turns around to see Y/N and Draco talking seriously. "Oh" She says softly turning around. "Don't worry about them Harry, she won't get back with Draco" Hermione says.

"Why would I be worried, it's her life, and besides I don't see her like that" I said, taking a sip from my drink. "Your aura doesn't seem that way, I think you have very strong feelings, you just won't let yourself feel them" Luna says walking up to the three of us.

"Well you're not reading my aura right then" I said. I look back at the girl, she storms away from the boy and runs out of the great hall. I instinctively run after her. I walk out of the great hall and see the girl sitting against the wall. "Y/N?" I said softly.

"Are you alright? I saw you run out, you looked upset" I ask. "Yeah, I'm fine" she says. "Dracos just being annoying as usual, don't look into too much" she smiles.

I sit next to her, grabbing her hand. "Are you sure you're okay?" I ask again. She looks at me with a sheepish face. "What is it?" I ask. "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone" she says quietly. "Not even Ron and Hermione"

"Alright, what is it?" I ask. "Draco just told me we're cousins" She says, avoiding eye contact. "And apparently no one had told him we were related, even thought they all knew"

"Even my own mother knew of it, and didn't try to prevent it" She says. I squeeze her hand reassuringly. "Harry, please don't look at me any differently because of this"

"If I'd have known, I would've stopped it right away " she says, her face glowing red. "I don't see you any different from the girl I met on the train" I say. "Don't blame yourself for something your family didn't do"

"You both didn't know" I said. I silently move closer to her and hug her tightly. "Please don't tell anyone, please" she whispers. "Tell them what?" I said.

"Let's get back in there before we don't eat, you're welcome to join the gryffindor table" I said. "No that's fine, I'm going to sit at my table, thank you though" she says. Before we walk back in she brings me into another embrace. "Thank you, for everything Harry" she says, burying her face in my chest.

"Anytime" I say, rubbing her back.

Y/N's POV~

"Y/N!" I hear someone yell. "Y/N, slow down"
I stop walking to see Hermione running after me. "Hermione?" I said. "Can we talk?" She asks. "Yeah, what about?" I said. "Nothing really, let's go somewhere private" she smiles.

She drags me into the Gryffindor common rooms and sits on the couch. "What is it?" I ask. "What did you and Harry talk about?!" She says excitedly. "Nothing. He just comforted me, that was all" I said. "Did something happen with Draco?" Hermione says as two boys walk in. "Oh hey Harry, Ron"

"What are you two doing?" Ron asks. "Talking about Draco" Hermione scoffs. "What about him?" Harry asks, suddenly attentive. "Well, Y/N says you comforted her and I was just wondering what happened with the two of them." She says. "Yeah, what did he say Y/N?" Ron asks.

"Nothing it was stupid, I overreacted, don't worry about it guys" I said. "Seriously, you ran out of the great hall, it had to have been major" Hermione says. "What did he say?"

"He was just blabbering about Pansy to Y/N, not a big deal" Harry says. "But it's understandable that she was upset, so just leave it"

"Sorry for pestering" Hermione says.  "It's fine" I said. "He must've really hurt your feelings then" Hermione says hugging my side. "Yeah, but I'll be fine, promise" I smile. "Ok, just come to me if you need anything" Hermione says. "Us too, right Harry" Ron says nudging the boy. "Of course" Harry says. "Thanks guys, but I'll be fine. Really" I say, giving another smile.

"Look at the time, you'd better head off to bed" Hermione says. "Oh! You're right! I'll see you all later" I said. "Goodnight guys"

"Goodnight Y/N" they all said in unison. I walk down the dark corridors until reaching the Slytherin dorms. I pass the kids sitting on the couches and immediately go straight for my bed. "Hi Y/N"

"Hello?" I ask. "Who is it?" I ask, trying to make out a face in the pitch black. "It's your best friend!" The girl exclaims. "Hermione? What're you doing here?" I said. "No! Pansy!" She yells. "Nope I don't know anyone with that name" I said laying back down. "What a shame, I didn't know you held grudges" she says.

"I don't, I'm just giving you the treatment you deserve" I said. "Go to sleep pansy"

I close my eyes as the girl continues to ramble in my ears. I just ignore her and try to get some rest. At this point was Pansy even really an enemy, I mean really she's the reason me and Draco broke up. Who knows how long that would've went on had she not butted in.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm kind of happy Pansy stole Draco.
