Ghost of my own past||Harry Pottet|Draco x Ghost!Reader

Ghost of my own past.

You had been dead during an accident in Hogwarts, you were a death added to the deaths that had happened in Hogwarts, Y/n L/n.

You decided to become a ghost in Hogwarts not because you could see your friends, no, It was more of a bitter-sweet jealousy that burned inside of you, getting to see different students sorted into different houses grow and fulfill their lives while your here.

A mere shadow of who you were once was, Looks the same but the colors are faded and ashy wearing the clothes you died which was the Hogwarts uniform.

Clearly you thought life was really unfair because you had died early, without being able to finish your goals that you haven’t set up yet, in short you still had so much you hadn’t been able to do.

You watched students do things but never mentioned anything about what they did, you weren’t one to snitch if it wouldn’t benefit you since you were dead.

You died long ago, so mostly there would be students that were the same like the students before them.

You were roaming the halls of Hogwarts simply trying to find something to entertain you in your current state, then you spot two students, a Slytherin and a Gryffindor.

One had blonde hair wearing the Slytherin robe, While the other wore Gryffindor robes and had brown hair and glasses.

“Potter this, Potter that, It’s always you, the boy who lived famous Harry Potter.”

The Blonde one bickers to the one I assume was ‘Harry’.

“Seriously Malfoy, your being childish.”

“I’m not the one being childish, you’re the one simply being childish craving and enjoying this attention you get.”

Harry just scoffed and walked past Malfoy leaving him alone.

Malfoy was just there hands into fists, knuckles turning white as it can get on his pale skin.

You were just going to float by but what Malfoy does next stops you from doing so, The halls being empty and everyone doing their own business somewhere in the big castle, Malfoy grips his hair and drops to the ground huffing in frustration.

You float next to him and simply observe him before speaking up, surprising him causing the blonde flinch and turn around.

“You okay there?”

“Leave me alone” He says.

“I don’t think you want to be left alone ‘Malfoy’“ You say

“Oh really?” He scoffs, “Yes” You said simply.

He turns around and stares at you before standing up and brushing himself off, and then turning his heel and walking away from you, but you just float by next to him.

“Do ghosts do this often?” Draco stops walking and turns to you eyes narrowed.

“Nope” 

“Then why are you following me?” He says.

“I just think you need some company” With that he just rolled his eyes and turned around continuing to go to the Slytherin dorms.

--------------

And as you said that you thought he needed company, you followed him when you ‘felt like it’ as you simply said when Draco got irritated when your were following him in the halls and students were staring at him confused why a ghost was following him.

While in the library you would always look over his shoulder trying to see what he was reading, there were times that he would raise the book and show you the cover and tell you a summary or what it was about, and there were times he would completely ignore or he’s just to engrossed with the book that he didn’t notice or heard what you had said.

Draco had gotten used to you slowly, yes you were kinda annoying to him but he was happy that someone was treating him much normal.

One time your were ranting towards him about something he was listening, yes but he wasn’t paying attention to what your were saying, a small smile crept up to his face finding it comforting.

And he always entrusted you with his problems and issues, You understood and listened to him without complain, you would also give him advice.

And I hate to say it but it’s like you’ve developed some feelings for Draco but you knew you never had a chance with anyone in the beginning after you decided to become a ghost, besides Draco probably never saw you other than as a ghost, listener and friend. (He hasn’t admitted the last one but you know he sees you as a friend than the friends he has close to him)

No they didn’t understand Draco like you did, but you were okay on where you are now, you’re okay on the closeness and bond you have with him.

A lot of things had happened on his time in Hogwarts, but you sticked to him all through out the way.

Then the battle of Hogwarts happened, You never saw Draco you worried for him since he probably is staying with his family at the moment you watched fighting unfold, worry getting a hold of you, literal children were fighting the war and dying.

And there he was by the side of Voldemort along with his family, you stared at him he had no choice but to follow orders.

He had no choice, he should’ve been given a choice.

Voldemort announces that Harry Potter was dead, but you knew there was more to unravel at the scene, there he was in the hands of Hagrid.

Then…

“Potter!” Draco shouts then Harry jumped off of Hagrid’s arms.

“Avada-” “Expelliarmus!” Then Voldemort was disintegrating. (I don’t know how you call it but I’ll leave it at that)

The cheers and relief upon everyone was shared, the deaths of those students was not put into vain.

But before he got to be far away, he looked back, smiled at you and waved.

You wanted to go with him, you wanted to be with him, but alas you can’t and all you did was just smile and wave back.

-------------

Upon years later you are still a ghost in Hogwarts, Seeing such bright faces amongst new students that arrived every year.

Then you see someone familiar, A boy with blonde hair he looked like someone you had fallen for all those years ago.

You knew Draco got married and had a child, he visited you and had a pleasent walk and talk catching up, but Draco mostly did the talking about his life.

You were just happy to be there by his side to no end.

I remember I thought of giving the story an alternate ending but I never went on with it because I had no motivation and proper inspiration.

Damn this hurt alot as I read this again.
