The golden trio walks through the school campus during their free period, talking and laughing with each other. As they walk through the courtyard, they spot a certain white haired boy sat on one of the stone benches.

Surprisingly, he was alone. Usually, he was seen with his 'friends', but he was sat alone, seemingly reading a book that was on his lap.

They start to make their way past, when they spot a Hufflepuff walking towards the Slytherin. The Gryffindor trio tense, expecting Draco to be his usual self at the innocent Hufflepuff.

Instead, they watched at the badger rubs their eyes tiredly and makes grabby hands at the snake. Without looking up, Draco puts his hands in their waist and gently pulls them down. They sit in his lap and wraps their arms around his neck and legs around his waist.

The Hufflepuff nuzzles their head into his neck and relaxes as Draco adjusts so his arms were around their back, while the book was still in view.

The three walk closer to the two, staying quiet to observe. As they approach, they hear Draco's voice quietly talking. They notice that he was still looking down at the book and it clicked, he was reading to them.

Hermione quietly cooes at them and places a hand on her chest at the sight. Ron rolls his eyes and chuckles, while Harry smiles and watches with a gentle smile.

Soft snores come from the pair and Draco stops reading. He smiles and marks his place in the book before placing it down. He wraps his arms fully around them and moves one of his hands into their hair, gently smoothing it and running his fingers through their hair.

"That was cute," Harry calls out, but not loud enough to wake the Hufflepuff up. The trio walk closer, Draco's head snapping up and staring wide eyed at them.

"How much did you see?"

"All of it," Ron replies, smirking slightly.

"This," Draco starts, glaring at the three. "This never happened. Got it?"

"Oh, definitely," Ron teases, a smirk still on his face.

Hermione timidly takes a step forwards and looks at the person on his lap, before looking back up at the blonde. Draco nods, so she moves to sit beside him and gently smooths their hair. They hum and shuffle slightly in their sleep so their head was facing the Gryffindor. She cooes again, mumbling about how adorable they were.

"Who even are they?" Harry asks, with a smile on his face as he watches them.

Draco looks up at him and rolls his eyes. "Does the golden boy not pay attention to anything outside of his house?"

"Bloody hell, just answer the question," Ron grumbles, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Their name is Y/n L/n," Draco replies, rubbing their back as they nuzzle into his shoulder. "They're in Hufflepuff, obviously, and they're in our year."

"Are you two dating?" Hermione asks, still smoothing their hair, before moving her hand down to cup their jaw and gently rub their thumb over their cheek.

Draco shakes his head, "No, I just look after them." He looks down at them and smiles, holding them tighter. "And I bloody well love it." He then glares at them and continues, "So if any of you tell anyone and ruin this for me, I'll kill you. Got it, Pottah?"

Harry holds his hands up in defence with a smile and nods. "Will do."

"Dray," they whine, moving back slightly and rubbing their eyes, still tired even after just waking up. "Wha's goin on?"

"You should sleep, love," Draco replies, looking at them softly. "You look knackered."

"Who's this?" Y/n asks, looking at Hermione with slow blinks. They then spot the other two and tiredly wave at them, with them waving back with smiles.

"Seriously, Y/n? I told you about these three," Draco sighs.

Y/n tilts their head, before their eyes light up with recognition and they wake up more. "Oh! Are these the golden trio?"

"That's new," Ron states, laughing slightly.

Y/n then stands up (much to Draco's disappointment) and walks to the two boys and gives them a lopsided grin. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Y/n L/n. I already know who you are," they giggle slightly.

Harry smiles and ruffles your hair as he replies, "We're happy to have met you too, Y/n."

Hermione and Draco then stand up and Y/n moves to say the same thing to Hermione as the other three watch on. Hermione pulls the Hufflepuff into a hug and repeatedly coo and say how cute they were, making them get flustered and hide their face.

They then hear the schools bell being rang, meaning it was time for lunch. Y/n's head perks up and she squeals, "Food!"

Before anyone could react they start running off towards the Great Hall. Draco looks distressed as they run off and chase after them, leaving the trio behind.
