You're My Destiny (Harry Potter X Reader)

Chapter 16

Previously on Chapter 15

I turn my head to the Professor to see him hiding. I raise my eyebrow at him. I thought he's suppose to be brave... and he claims he had face something that is more scary than the pixies... but he looks terrified by them. I guess I was right all along... he is a fraud.

-Harry Is A Parselmouth-

Y/N P.O.V

Things got worse around Hogwarts have gotten a lot worse. Professor Lockhart take this as a chance. He forms a dueling club. I'm kind of surprise Professor Dumbledore still allows him to teach, seeing how his previous lesson was such a mess with the Pixies. But oh well... I'm just a student... what can I do against a professor?

We're now standing in the hall. In the middle of us is a long podium. I stand close to the stage, with Harry on my left and Hermione on my right. While Ron is standing next to Hermione.

Soon the door opens and Professor Lockhart enters the room. He walks up the podium and smiles at us. After what happened, I kinda lost interest with him. Not that I was interested before. But you know what I mean.

He starts talking about how he fight against giants in one of his adventure. I'm kinda start questioning if what he said was true, seeing how scared he was with the Pixies to the point Hermione have to take things to her own hands.

Professor Snape walks up the stage. "Expelliarmus" Professor Snap said, sending Professor Lockhart away. Professor Lockhart starts laughing as he stands up.

"Perhaps... you need to teach these students on how to deflect an unwanted spell..." Professor Snape said. I silently agreeing with him.

Professor Lockhart grins at him. "You're right... how about we pick two students to try? Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley?" He said, turning to the two of them. But before they could walk up the stage, Professor Snape starts to speak.

"Well... I'm afraid Mr. Weasley wand is broken... he's going to send himself to the hospital wing by the end of this lesson. Perhaps... someone from my house? Mr. Malfoy" he said, turning to gesture Draco to go up the stage.

His eyes met mine and he offers me a smile. But I just look away from him. I don't want to deal with him. Not after what he did.

Draco P.O.V

She's still upset with me. But I can't blame her. After all the things I did... especially the photo... it's pretty messed up. Technically I'm toying around with her emotions. So it only make sense for Y/N to be upset. But does it have to be this long? Why can't she just let me explain my part and forgive me?

I walk up the stage and my eyes meet Potter's eyes. He looks at me straight in the eyes and it's pretty cold. I'm guessing he's also mad with what I did. I glance at Weasley and Granger to see them doing the same.

I hear Professor Snape clears his throat, snapping me out of my thought. I turn to look at Potter once again. I put my smug expression on.

"Scared, Potter?" I said, smirking at him. "You wish" he said, glaring at me. My smirk waver a little. But I manage to keep it on. We bow at each other. Then we each take a few steps away.

We turn to look at each other. "On the count of 3... you can cast your spell to disarm your opponent. ONLY to disarm..." Professor Lockhart said. "1... wands at ready... 2... 3!" He said.

"Everte Statum!" Draco said, pointing his wand at Harry. Harry got flown back. I flinch at the sight and lightly glare at Draco. Harry stand up and points his wand at Draco. "Rictusempra!" He said. Now Draco got blown back.

Draco looks up at Professor Snape. Professor yanked him up and push him towards Harry. Draco steps closer to Harry and points is wand. "Serpensortia!" He said. A giant black snake pops out of his wand to the middle of the podium.

"Don't worry... I'll handle this..." Professor Lockhart said. He take a few steps towards the snake. "Alarte Ascendare!" He said, pointing his wand towards the snake. But the snake just got launch into the sky and lands back on the ground, unharmed.

Then I hear sounds, almost like whispers. I turn my head to see Harry. He's talking to the snake. What the... he didn't tell me he's a parselmouth! I turn to look at the snake as it turn to look at me. I gulp and steps backward, feeling scared that it might start to attack me.

Then Professor Snape walks forward. He points his wand to the snake. "Vipera Evanesca" he said. The snake instantly vanished. But I was still shocked by what happened.

"What are you playing at??" A boy said. Harry just stare at him and turn around to leave. Hermione, Ron and I runs after him. We walk out of the hall.

"You didn't tell us you're a parselmouth!" Ron said. Harry turns to look at us. "I'm a... what?" He said, looking confused. "Parselmouth... it means you can speak to snakes..." Hermione said. "This is SO bad!" I said, running my hand through my hair.

"How is it bad?" Harry said, turning to look at me. I turn to look at Hermione with a "you explain." She gets the picture and turns to look at Harry. "Harry... there's a reason why the Slytherin mascot is a snake. Salazar Slytherin was a parselmouth. He can talk to snake too!" She said. "Now everyone's going to think that you're the heir of Slytherin" Ron said. "But I'm not! I can't be..." he said, looking at us with a worry look.

"That was a thousands of years ago... so... for all we know... you could be..." Hermione said. Harry just looks at us back and forth. I walk towards him and pulls him into a hug.

"We'll figure this out together... okay?" I said. I feel him nod his head. I pull away from him and notice the pink shade on his cheeks. I furrow my eyebrow as I look at him.

"Are you okay? Your cheeks are turning a little red..." I said, looking at him with a worry expression. "I-I'm fine! D-Don't worry..." he said, stuttering slowly. But I'm not convince, because of how red he looks. "Are you sure?" I said, reaching out to place a hand on his forehead. He grabs my hand to stop me.

Harry P.O.V

First she hugs me... now she's worry that I might be sick. She's really caring. I'm happy... really. But it's not good for me... well... for my heart. It's beating at a really rapid speed right now.

I think I'm falling for her
