Harry Potter Imagines

[Harry Potter] ~Secrets

"Hey, come here." Draco said as he stepped into my room, where I was sitting quietly in a corner, trying to hold back my tears. Mother always told me not to cry or show any weakness, for no one would want a weak wife.
I looked up at my twin brother as he closed my door and came to sit down next to me.
"Leave me alone Draco." I mumbled quietly as I wiped my tears and Draco rolled his eyes as he sighed.
"You know father didn't mean any of that, he –" Draco tried and I turned abruptly towards him, making him flinch slightly.
"Do not tell me he was joking, we both know father is uncapable of such act." I stated firmly and Draco hissed at me. Merlin, he was always hissing back and forth and then complained if I did the same.
"You know father was only upset you jeopardized their one chance to become allies with a family as important as the Zabini's." He pressed on and I rolled my eyes.

"You can still save that relationship." I said back with no heat and Draco narrowed his eyes.
"What are you implying, sister dear?" Draco questioned as I stood up to put some distance between us.
"You know exactly what I am implying." I said dramatically as I shrieked to escape from Draco, who was trying to tickle me.
This was what I missed while we were at Hogwarts. Draco had a reputation to uphold and for some Godforsaken reason that meant that we couldn't exactly have the 'liberties' we had at the manor. Not that at the manor we were that free, but we had a lot of rooms where we sneaked into to do our 'clandestine' experiments.
"Draco!" I shrieked as he managed to tickle my side and he paid me no heed as I gasped for my breath. Draco finally relented as he sat down in my bed and I collapsed onto the ground.
"Mother is having that dreadful party for our birthday, both her and father believe that you will find yourself enamoured by any of the guys attending." Draco admitted and I rolled my eyes.
"Mother knows better than to expect that to happen and so should father." I said with a small sigh as I went to my wardrobe, holding out the gorgeous black dress mother had had hand tailored especially for me to celebrate my 16th birthday. "Is this why mother had this dress made?"
Draco rolled his eyes. "Mother spares no excuse to spoil either of us and you know it."
"I am assuming you will be wearing another one of your black suits." I guessed and Draco laughed.
"Well, yes of course I will be. Have you ever seen me in white? I'd steal away every single one of your pretendents." Draco teased and I pulled a face.
"You just made my good mood go away." I admitted and Draco smiled as he prepared to exit my room.
"And you just made it worth it." He said as I threw a shoe at him, which he easily dodged as I let myself fall on top of my bed.
I spotted the two-way parchment on top of my desk and contemplated on trying my luck with chatting with Harry.
I quickly sat at my desk, careful not to ruin my skirt and dipped my quill in ink as I quickly scribbled.

Hello

Harry was surprisingly quick to write back.

Awful penmanship Malfoy.

Shut up Potter.

So, what has been happening with you? We haven't spoken in quite a while.

Oh, nothing much, Mother decided to have a celebration for my birthday, and I thought it was out of love, but they are just trying to find me a 'suitable' husband.

Sounds dreadful.

Godric, I'd rather have to face my brother's wrath when I was placed in the Black Lake because you'd miss me the most.

What can I say, you're just so unique.

But what's happening with you Potter? What are the news?

I was just sooo close to using Boomslang venom to sweeten dear Dudley's coffee this morning, you'd have no idea

I can send you some if you want, it would be our little secret.
