???????||D.M.

Pansy has stayed here for about a week now. The few times I saw her, she was with Draco and he seemed to be genuinely having a nice time with her... it hurt to just watch but even once they kissed, it wasn't as heated as the few Draco and I had but it was more passion for theirs.

I feel kinda played and very hurt but I mean, he's not mine. I can't be too mad about this, He and I have kissed twice and he doesn't even know me that well. By the seems of it, he and Pansy grew up together.

I finally leave my room and see Osmond, "hey Osmond, would you like to go on a walk with me?" I ask with a smile. He nods, thinking he didn't have a choice.

"I will meet you at the front door miss when you are properly dressed for being outside." He says calmly, then returns to what I think is his room. I start walking up the stairs and hear Pansy and Draco flirting.

Ignoring it, I walk into my room and put on my winter jacket and hat. As soon as I leave the room I'm greeted with a smug face of Pansy Parkinson.

"Hello, Y/n, where might you be going?" She asks in her annoyingly high pitch voice. Draco was just next to her, with her red lipstick smeared all over his face.

"It is none of your business, Pansy." I spat and walk downstairs to see Osmond all ready to go.

He opens the door for me and I thank him. We start walking at it was silent, then I speak up, "so Osmond, where are your parents?" I smile at him.

He doesn't look at me, "dead." He says in a monotone voice.

"Oh... I'm so sorry I uh- I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" I became flustered, I looked down feeling terrible.

"Hey, it's okay, no need to feel bad. I don't mind answering questions." He says simply.

"How old are you?" I ask.

"Just turned 16this year, you?"

"15, how did you end up at the Malfoy Manor?"

We stop at a bench and he wipes off the fallen snow for us to sit and we sit down together.

"When I was I'd say about 13, I lost my parents in a fire, I had been going to Hogwarts at this time, but since I couldn't keep up with the fees on my own I had to drop out. Master Malfoy is close to the ministry, and he was looking for more servants for the manor. So that kind of sums it up I suppose." He says, facial expression the same.

"I am so sorry, Osmond. You didn't deserve that." I say softly.

"You're too kind, Miss." he smiles at me.

"Please call me, Y/n. I don't mind."

"Alright, Y/n." He smiles at me. He and I start chatting about our passions and dislikes. We ended up talking for at least two hours and we decided to head back.

He opens the door for me and we go into see Draco glaring at us.

"What is it, Princess Malfoy?" I smirk at him. He rolls his eyes and he and Pansy go into their home library.

"It was lovely to hang out with you, Osmond, but I'm gonna go relax in my room now." I smile, I kiss his cold cheek, and go to my room.

I sit down and Dixie flies in and drops a letter in my hands, I flip it over thinking it was from Cedric but it had a green stamp with a Z?

I furrow my eyebrows then open the letter and begin reading.

Dear Y/n,

I know you probably hate me after what happened this year. I know what I did was wrong and I shouldn't have set you up like that.

I stop reading, this was a letter from Blaise? I continue reading, wanting to know what this maggot had to say now, especially after what he did...

Just know I at least didn't come up with the plan, Draco and Pansy did. I felt terrible doing it because you're such an amazing girl. I've been wanting to talk to you and explain this but for some reason, Draco had told me not to.

But I can't hold back any longer, I feel terrible. Again, I know the fact that Draco came up with the plan doesn't excuse my actions. You seem like an amazing girl and I want to get to know you and be your friend this time around.

I miss having you around, and I swear on my mother's grave that this is no lie. This is all from my heart. I mean it, I hope you write me back, I hope you can eventually forgive me, and my actions.

From,

Blaise Zabini

I start thinking back to my first few days at Hogwarts, all of that was Draco's plan? I felt my eyes swell up a bit but I push them back down. I did truly care about Blaise, and he still did take part in Draco's plan.

As if Merlin planned it himself, someone knocks on my door and I tell them to come in. Of course, it's Draco.

"Hey, Y/n-" he sees the look in giving him, then the letter in my hand, "uh what's going on?" He asks tilting his head in confusion.

"What's going on?! What's fucking going on?!" I snap and shove the letter into his chest. He takes it and reads it, his eyes fill with hate and then sorrow.

"Y/n, I didn't mean it- well I did then but-" I cut him off by pushing him out of my room.

"I'm leaving, Malfoy. So just fucking save it and go dry hump on Pansy some more." I say coldly and slam the door in his face. I heard him sigh and walk away, a part of me was hoping he'd knock and try to talk to me.

Did he hurt me, get close to me, just to hurt me again? I felt like bawling, I opened up to that arrogant asshole!

Someone knocks on my door and I hear Narcissa, "hey, Y/n, are you okay sweetheart?" I hear her say in a soft voice. I stand up and open the door for her, she sighs sadly and pulls me into a hug.

"I overheard that muffle you got into with Draco, would you like to talk about it?" She asks. I nod and she shuts my door and we sit on the side of my bed.

"Now, what happened, love bug? I only heard a little." She says, rubbing my back for comfort.

I explained the situation to her, every little detail, even how he taunts the Potter kid. I didn't leave anything out. She shook her head in disappointment and disbelief, "I cannot believe Draco has done such horrid things to you, I am so sorry, Y/n." She says then gives me another big hug.

"It's okay, I just... I don't know what to do. I know I don't want to talk to Draco anymore but you guys are right, my home isn't stable for the winter." I sigh.

"You can stay here, I will make arrangements where you don't have to see Draco unless you wish. You're family to me now, Y/n. Don't tell Draco but when I was pregnant I wished he was a girl. You're the daughter I never got to have." She smiles at me. I give her a big hug, I love this woman as if she were my actual mom.

"Well, I best be off now, Draco will be in trouble for this. I really hope you do stay." She says, then leaves and shuts the door behinds her. I lay down in my bed, missing Cedric, Merek, and Ulric. Most of all...

I miss Hogwarts...
