Protective [D.M]

57

Going into another day actually seemed a little safer, now that my friends knew everything and promised to be there for me always.

I was still mad that all of this came out, but maybe there is something good to it. At least I don't have to think about making up excuses all the time.

Also, maybe it'll make everything better overall. Is that too much to hope? I'm not sure, but I really had peace in the morning. For some reason I was weirdly motivated to get out of bed today.

My first class was luckily care of the magical creatures. I wasn't looking forward to seeing everyone, but I had a good feeling about today. If I could only not see Rickon ever again.

"Good morning Snape!" I heard from behind me when me and my friends were walking towards Hagrid's hut. At first I honestly didn't even realized it was for me, but when Draco roughtly turned around, I realised that it indeed was.

To be honest, I had never thought about Snape as my last name. Y/n Snape? That doesn't really sound good and also, it's very weird. I would rather stick with Y/ln.

"Keep moving," Draco said through teeth to the people that we're right behind us. "Isn't that her name?" Merroy made an innocent face.

Draco didn't say anything to it, just looked him dead in the eye. "Sorry," Merroy rolled his eyes. I guess Draco's look was pretty intimidating.

"Snape, can you help me with my potions homework?" A Gryffindor guy asked passing us. Right when I had thought that this day could be good and maybe everything would be fine all of a sudden.

"Are you really that dumb? How did you make it that far?" Draco spat in response. "Okay that is enough, let's just go," I pulled Draco closer to the group and kept walking.

"I hope you fail!" Ly yelled after the Gryffindor guy.

That wasn't the only time anyone said something similar to me, and every time all of my friends instantly reacted. It was even a little funny to see, but I was very grateful.

We finally got to Hagrid's hut and since Hagrid was already out, no one dared to say anything while he was looking. Well except during the class in the woods.

"I bet Y/n's mom was a whore like her. It has to come from somewhere," I heard Pany laughing loudly, making sure that everyone heard it.

"Shut up Parkinson! You think you're all that, you ain't shit!" Draco yelled and stormed to her. "Why so tense Malfoy? Y/n isn't good enough to satisfy you?" Merroy asked from next to Pansy.

Without a word, Draco punched him straight in the face, barely letting Merroy finish his sentence. "Whores never love Draco. You're wasting your time," Pansy said looking at the fight from the front row.

"She's right you know," Merroy laughed. But Draco quickly shut his mouth. Draco's rings were once again making pretty much damage, but it didn't stop him. Neither did it make anyone else stop him.

But surprisingly Merroy never stopped smirking, even when blood was all over his face and his eyes were both already swollen and bruised. Psycho.

I guess finally Hagrid looked around and saw the fight. He pushed others out of the way and picked Draco up from Merroy. Blaise and Hayes tried to keep him away from getting into the fight again.

But Merroy didn't get up. He was groaning but still laughing through all of that. How can a person be that mean.

But since it seemed like Merroy couldn't get up, Hagrid picked him up. "I'm gonna get him to the hospital wing, class is dismissed," Hagrid said and started walking towards the school.

"Did you get what you wanted? Ruining another one of Hagrid's classes," A Gryffindor guy turned to me. I didn't even say anything back. He was right. I had ruined another one of his classes.

"It's not Y/n's fault," an unexpected reply came from Ron. The person who I'd still honestly least expect. "That one's on Merroy," another Gryffindor guy, Neville I think was his name, added.

Everyone turned to look at Neville and some people even gasped a little and started whispering. During the time I had been in Hogwarts, I had never heard Neville say something in anyone's defense. He seemed like the guy who would keep to the corner more. So I was thankful that he did it for me.

"Let's go," Draco pulled himself out of Blaise and Hayes's hands and grabbed my arm pulling me away. I had no reason to stay, since the class was dismissed, so I went with him, leaving everyone else looking after us.

"Where are we going?" I asked when we got out of everyone's sight and I realised we were not walking towards the school. "I don't know. Anywhere," he said picking up the pace.

"I just can't stand anyone! They are all such fucking shit!" He yelled as we stopped. I wasn't sure what to say to calm him down, so I just thanked him.

"Thank you Draco. It means a lot." I said quietly. "Come here," he pulled me into a tight hug. One hand was on my back the other one on the back of my head. I felt safe from all the world and all the people around us in his arms. Whyyyy?!

"I will never let anyone hurt you Y/n. Never," he said into my ear a little out of breath. It was weird seeing him so vulnerable lately, but I honestly loved this side of him a lot. He seemed nice and gentle, instead of the mean guy that he seems at first. But maybe it was only for certain people.

"Let's get out of here," he said all of a sudden. "Where?" I looked at him confused while breaking the hug. "Come with me," he took my hand into his and pulled me to walk.

"Okay, but slow down. I'm not in a mood for running," I joked. Our path went through the woods. I had no idea where he was taking me.

Normally I would be a little scared to go somewhere out of everyone's eyes with Draco, but this time I didn't have anything to lose. It was better than dealing with all the comments my way all day.

We walked for a while, my hand in his the whole time. He was rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb as we were talking. I think the new class had already started by this time, but it didn't matter right now.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" I asked, when we had walked for at least two hours in the woods. "Not much. We're here," he said.

"Where?" I was confused. I didn't know we had to come ro a specific place. I thought we were just walking.

Wonder where he took her... Probably to kill her or something.
