I let myself fall onto the bed and wrap myself up in blanket. I let myself relax into the warmth and close my eyes. Then I slowly drift off into a deep sleep.

-Confrontation-

Y/N P.O.V

Things are getting worse around Hogwarts. One by one, students are getting petrified by an unknown source. This makes the rule around Hogwarts about curfew time gets even stricter. No one is allowed to be out of the house after sun down. It is to minimize the possibility of more kids to get petrified.

I'm inside a class, sitting next to my brother as usual. I can't focus on anything professor Snape is giving us. My mind is pretty occupied by the recent events. I can't stop myself from thinking what could have happened to the students that got petrified... and who would do such horrid things??

I flinch when a hand is slammed into the table in front of me. I look up and gulp when I'm met with Professor Snape's angry eyes.

"No daydreaming in my class, Ms. Malfoy. 10 points deduction from Slytherin..." he said. "Forgive me... Professor..." I said, looking down. He clicks his tongue in annoyance and walks away to resume the class.

Time-skip

Soon the class ended. I grab all of my belongings and head out of class.

Not a step away from the door, I feel someone grab me and starts pulling me along. I turn my head to see Hermione. I struggle to release my wrist from his grip, but he have a dead grip.

"What the heck?! Let me go, Granger! Where the hell are you taking me?" I said. My brother tries to run to help me, but he got stopped by Ron and Harry. I turn to look forward again and try to figure out why she's acting this way.

She pulls me towards the garden and force me to sit. I glare at her and cross my arms across my chest. She sighs and sits next to me.

"Why are you acting this way towards us? What did we do so wrong to make you treat us this way, Y/N?" She said. I scoff at what she said. "Oh... don't go and pretend that you three did nothing wrong" I said, in annoyance. She let out a groan at what I said.

"How am I suppose to do that... when I don't even know what we did!" She said. I roll my eyes. "I don't have time for this... I'm leaving..." I said. I get up and was about to leave. Hermione pulls me back down. I let out a sigh of annoyance.

"What now??" I said. "Is it because of this?" She said, holding something up. My eyes widened when I saw what he's holding. It's the photo Draco gave me... on the day I found out these people were fake.

"Where did you get that?" I said. "It doesn't matter where I got it. Just answer the question Y/N... is THIS the reason why you treat us like garbage??" She said, in a loud voice.

"Yes! Why else?? You guys are nothing but a bunch of fakes!!" I yelled at her. "This isn't real, Y/N! This is fake! Someone manipulate this picture so you will hear this nonsense! Just who gave you this? Is it your good for nothing brother?!" She yelled. I glare at her after hearing what she said about Draco. "Do not insult my brother! And if what you're saying is true. Prove it!" I yelled back.

"Sure thing! I'll prove it to you that we're innocent. This is an illusion spell, Y/N... it's not real..." she said. She takes out her wand and points it at the picture. The photo change and my eyes widen in disbelief. Instead of the trio... it's Draco, Crabbe and Goyle.

"W-What..." I stuttered out. "Your brother purposely do this... he hates seeing you with us. So he tries to break us apart by making you believe that we're just faking it, Y/N. But I swear we're not. We love having you as our friend..." she said. I stare at the picture in my hand in disbelief. "Please believe us, Y/N... we never pretend..." she said, pleadingly. I look down as tears streams down my cheeks.

"I can't believe Draco would do something like this to me..." I said. Hermione scoots closer to me and wraps her arm around my shoulder. I turn to face her and hugs her tightly.

"I-I'm s-so sorry, Mione..." I cried out. "At least now you know the truth, Y/N... we would never treat you that way. You're our best friend... you mean so much to us..." she said, in a soft voice. I cry softly into her shoulder. She caress my hair as an attempt to calm me down.

I pull away from her. The sadness is gone and now I feel anger surging through my body. I clench my fists in anger and stand up. I storm away from her.

"Wait! Where are you going, Y/N?" She said. "I'm going to teach that boy a fucking lesson!" I said, in anger. I hear her footsteps as she runs to follow me. I just stay silent and continue to walk towards where I last saw Draco.

He's still there struggling to walk through Harry and Ron. He notice me walking towards him. "Are you okay, Y/N? Did that mud-blood do-" I cut him off by slapping him across the face. He looks at me wide-eyed while holding his cheek.

"Why would y-" he tried to say, but I cut him off yet again. "Shut up! How DARE you, huh??" I yelled at him. "What do you mean?" He said. I hold up the picture he gave me. "This, Draco. What is this, huh?? Why do you give me this fake shit?!" I yelled at him. His eyes widened when he saw what I'm holding up, the picture he gave me... only this time it shows the true self.

"I..." he stuttered. I slap him again. "Save it! I don't wanna bloody hear what you're trying to say! You made me believe that my friends are fake! Do you even realize how much pain you put me through, huh?? You're such an asshole, you know that!!" I yelled angrily. I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"That's enough, Y/N..." Harry said. "Yeah... he's not worth it..." Ron said. "Come on..." Hermione said as she gently hold my hand. I glare at Draco one more time and turn around to leave with the trio. We walk back to the garden Hermione confronted me.

I broke down into tears as I sit down on the bench. Harry and Ron sits down on either side of me, while Hermione kneels down in front of me.

"I a-am s-so sorry... I'm sorry..." I cried out. Harry pulls me close and I cry to his shoulder. Ron gently rub my shoulder. Hermione holds my hand softly. They stay silent and try their best comfort me.

How could Draco do such thing?
