Draco Malfoy Imagines

Out of the Crowd

this was gunna be for 'unknown giver' but it didn't match the short imagine so i thought i'd make it a whole new chapter.

{your pov}

Great. I love when people sing happy birthday to me. Sarcasm by the way. I hate how so much attention is on me. I wanna be with just some of my close friends and hang out but for some reason, Slytherin decides to make a huge deal out of it.

"So what are we doing?" Blaise asks.

"Yeah wanna get drunk?" Pansy pipes in but I just shake my head.

"N-no guys I just don't wanna be around a lot of peop-"

"C'mon, it'll be fun!" Someone else says and everyone cheers.

"N-no I just-" I look around at everyone's exited and expectant faces and sigh. "Sure, let's go!" They all cheer and rush out, some dragging me with them.

It was obvious that they used my birthday as an excuse to drink. I did not want to have any alcohol so I just had fun watching them.

I was leaning against a wall as girls were taking their tops off and guys were pouring drinks down their bodies. It was an interesting sight to see.

"C'mooonn, (y/n)! Just oneeeee drinkk~~" My drunk friend attempts to persuade me.

"I've already told you, no! Go get lost! Have fun." It didn't take long for me to convince her and it also didn't take long for me to want to leave.

Guys were stripping in front of me and attempting to arouse me or something while singing happy birthday out of time and out of tune.
I cringed and wanted to run away when they got distracted by a half naked Pansy.

"Hey." A deep voice says. I don't wanna turn around as it's probably just another drunk guy. "Wanna get out of here?"

"You're drunk. Fuck off." I say without turning to look at the person.

The voice chuckles. "I'm not drunk I swear." I then turn around and see none other than the famous Draco Malfoy.

"W-what are you doing I-" I have no idea where that sentence was going so I just stop myself and sigh. I look into his cup and see that it's full of water. "Sorry for swearing at you." I apologise and he laughs again.

"C'mon, let's go somewhere and I swear I wont try to strip in front of you." He says. I was actually on the bridge of tears at how this whole day ended.

I try to swallow it and nod slowly. Draco puts his cup down and grabs my hand, slowly and silently leading me out of the place with none of the drunk assholes realising.

"Hey hey, what's wrong?" He asks in a soft soothing voice once we enter the commons. I've never heard him speak like this before. I've only heard him give people snide comments and glares.

I shake my head. "Nothing I'm just... overreacting."

"Well it's clearly something if it makes you cry." He coos. I swipe at the tears and hope they would reverse back into my eyes.

"Nothing."

"Don't say nothing." He whispers. It almost scares me at how nice he's being. Almost as though he'll crack any minute and start laughing in my face.

"I just... I wanted to spend my birthday doing something I loved. I always used to just go out with friends. Break a couple of rules but never get caught. Just laugh and hang out but... They've changed so much. Always trying to be the centre of attention. I just miss them so much." I confess.

"Well, why don't we change it a bit today?" He says softly, stroking my arms soothingly. "Let's just stay with us two, away from everyone else."

I look at him wide eyed and he chuckles.

"I wont do anything, I promise."

x-X-x

I've cried into his chest for about ten minutes about how much I hate the things my friends have done and what they've turned into.

Surprisingly, he listened.

He was sitting with his legs stretched out on a bed, I was curled up into his side with my head buried under his arm and my legs tangled around his. He was holding me protectively as he strokes my head soothingly. 

"People change. It's shitty I know. I'm so sorry." He coos.

Every time he speaks, it takes me aback. I'm still a little stiff because he could crack any minute, take a photo of my crying face or even tell all my friends what I've said.

I sit up and scootch away. "P-please don't tell anyone." I plead.

He leans over and takes my hands in his. He looks deeply in my eyes and gives me a smile so warm it could evaporate my tears.
He buries his face in the crook of my neck and kisses just below my ear before whispering

"You're secret safe with me."
