When We Met {Draco Malfoy X Reader X Mattheo Riddle}

*Sorry for the late update, AP Testing has got me bogged down!*

-Y/N-

"Ready to go?" Edmund asked as I stepped down the staircase.

"Bloody hell, I haven't seen you in so long!" I exclaimed, rushing down the stairs to greet my brother. Him being ahead of me in Hogwarts had really isolated me from him. We rarely saw each other. I think the last time we even glanced at each other was the Yule Ball. "Why don't you see your little sister more often." I gave him a hug.

"Actually, I haven't been at the school that much." Edmund said. I stepped back in surprise. No wonder I rarely saw him around.

"Where have you been? Mother and father would have your skin if they knew you were skipping classes." My eyes widened.

"Well, father's talked to Dumbledore already. I've been frequently leaving Hogwarts to go help in his business. Get some more hands-on knowledge, you know." Edmund explained.

"Why ever so?" I asked as we started walking out of the common room.

"Well, you see, I want to be Minister of Magic one day. And for that, you need more than a school education. Spending time with father at work will give me that experience that I need to climb through the ranks." Edmund answered.

"I see..." I nodded, understanding. "So, you've barely been at school?"

"I've only ever been at school for two weeks." Edmund admitted.

"Why didn't you think to tell me until now?" I asked, unsure why he kept it a secret.

"At first, father didn't think I was up for the workload. So, we kept it quite a secret so that if I failed, no one would know about it. But I'm much better now, and father's more confident. So, he allowed me to tell a few of my closest friends." Edmund's voice dropped lower. "Except don't tell this to anyone. If people know I'm going to be running for Minster, I'll already start having enemies." Edmund added.

Oh, the world of politics. Where people had to worry about having enemies and saving their reputation. I didn't understand why Edmund would want to go that path. But to each their own, I guess.

"You missed quite a school year. I'm a Champion in the Triwizard Tournament." I told him.

"So, I heard! You're playing well, I watched the telecast." Edmund agreed. We had now made it outside the castle and were starting to board the train.

"Telecast? What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow as he found a compartment on the train filled with his friends.

"It's broadcasted on the Wizarding Channel, and you're a fan favorite. See you later little sister." He then slid the door closed. Still in shock over the fact that I was on the Wizarding Channel, I went over to the compartment filled with my own friends.

"Did the Bloody Baron walk through you again, you look so pale and cold?" Pansy noted as I walked inside. I shut the door behind me.

"Y/N?" Draco asked, scanning my face, and patting the seat right next to him. I sat down.

"Did you guys know the tournament is being broadcasted on the Wizarding Channel?" I asked.

Pansy shook her head, Draco's jaw dropped, and Enzo just smirked.

"No?" Draco and Pansy said in unison.

"Yes." Enzo said. Everyone turned their heads towards him. "My dad was good friends with Gilderoy Lockhart, and he got to produce Gildy's talk show. From that he started to work on other broadcasts and now he's the manager of the Wizarding Channel. Of course, I knew the Triwizard Tournament was being broadcasted. It's the biggest thing and it won't even happen for another half decade." Enzo explained.
