Y/N Malfoy

Petrified

It had been a week. I still was not talking to Draco and it was slowly killing me. I had been inseparable from Harry, he had become my best friend.  I was in the same dorm as Hermione, Ginny hated me and I had no idea why. Although I could tell that Hermion and Ron knew. Neither one of them would tell a clueless Harry and I. I was the first person to know that Harry had been hearing voices in the wall and I had started researching before Hermione did. Filch's cat had been petrified and I think I might be onto something. My father had been elusive all summer and always had long sleeves on which I know covered his dark mark. I was thinking about it and I wonder if he knows anything about the petrified students so I wrote him a letter.

Dear Father,
I'm sure by now you have heard about all of the students being petrified. I am not scared and I do NOT want to come home . I know you are angry with me at being in Gryffindor and  being friends with Harry. I'm sure Draco has written to you to tell you about our fight and he was entirely in the wrong. I know Purebloods are supposedly better than Muggle borns but he had no right to call Mione a- that word. Anyways I was wondering if you knew anything about the petrified students. If you even respond.
                                                                                       Your Daughter,
                                                                                                           Y/N
"Harry, can I borrow Hedwig? I need to send a letter to father."
"Sure Y/N. She's in the owlery just give me a sec and I can walk with you." he looked at me and gave me a quick crooked smile. I started blushing. I had started to develop a crush on my best friend and I'm sure he had no idea. He definitely did not like me though. I think he saw me more as a little sister. We started walking down to the owlery when Harry looked confused. We were still in the castle and he put his ear to the wall.
"I hear it again." he said breathlessly
"Go see where it's leading, I'll go down by myself."
I was walking down to the owlery. It had been a rainy week so I was jumping over puddles. I went into the owlery and called Hedwig down. She knew who I was because I had been hanging out with Harry so much. I called her down and clipped the letter onto her foot telling her where to go. I then cast a protection spell that Hermione had taught me over her so Father couldn't hurt her. I pet her and sent her on her way. I walked up to the courtyard with my head down as always making myself as small as possible so people wouldn't look at me.
"I heard you and Draco are fighting." the rough voice of Blaise Zabini came up behind me. "ANd since you're older now." It had been my birthday in the past week that Draco and I were fighting so it wasn't much fun. "I was thinking you might want to come with me." he said as he snaked his arms around my waist, without thinking I screamed
"HARRY!" as loud as I possibly could hoping, praying that he was near-by.
"Can't you be quiet? Perfect Potter isn't around to save you, and Malfoy doesn't care about you." all of the sudden all the anger and sadness from the past week poured out of me like a tidal wave. I turned in his arms so suddenly that I broke free. I lifted my wand and said
"Do you know who my father is?"
"Uh-" I cut him off he looked, shocked
"Lucius Malfoy. Ex Deatheater and supporter of Voldemort. He has done things to people that you wouldn't believe. I'm his only daughter. I suggest you leave me alone and never talk to me again." I growled low in my throat just like Draco would. Blaise slowly backed away with his arms raised in front of him. He turned and dashed away and I was shocked that my tiny body could scare him that much, in fact I don't think it was entirely me. I felt someone hug me from behind.
"I'm so sorry Little One, I'm so sorry." Draco sobbed into me "I shouldn't have ignored you for that long, I shouldn't have let him get anywhere near you. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I shouldn't have called them names. I'm so sorry."
"Dray, it's okay, it's okay." I turned to hug him and he put his head on my shoulder
"I'm so sorry Y/N/N."
Harry came running into the courtyard.
"What happened?" he gasped slightly out of breath
"Potter, don't ever leave her side again. If Zabini comes near her you're going to come get me and I'll handle the situation." Draco said into my shoulder but addressing Harry.
"What happened, Shorty?" Harry asked using his nickname for me that caused Draco's head to jerk up from off my shoulder. He looked at me then back at Harry. I just shook my head at him showing him that we were just friends, for now.
"Zabini was just bothering me, he tried to follow me to the bathroom on the train ride here. I thought he was going to leave me alone but then he tried to take me to his dorm." Harry's face turned bright red with anger.
"I don't know Malfoy, if that ever happens again then I'm not sure I could contain myself long enough to go and get you. I won't leave her side again. I promise."
"Thanks guys but I handled myself pretty well, I think."
"You shouldn't have brought up Father. That could get him in a lot of trouble."
"I know but I needed to use something. I need to go to the bathroom." I started walking and both of them were on my heels.
"You know you can't come into the bathroom." I chuckled looking at both of them one on each side of me looking like bodyguards.
"I'll wait outside, Pottah you can go."
"You told me to never leave her side." he looks at Draco confused.
"When I'm not around. Just because your friends-"
"Best friends." Harry corrected. I smiled.
"Best friends with my little sister does not mean that I like you. At all."
"Okay can I go to the bathroom now?" I asked, shaking my head at their foolishness. They were still too busy arguing so I just went into the bathroom.
I splashed water onto my face. When I finally heard the boys stop arguing.
"Hey Shorty are you okay in there?" I heard Harry's voice. I looked up at myself in the mirror when I saw two glowing eyes reflected in the mirror behind me. Then everything went black.
