mentions of blood and injury 

y/n's pov

it was finally friday; i had two free periods today which, much to my disappointment, i would be spending patrolling the corridors under the request of dumbledore. i had just finished my last class of third years and had around ten minutes until i was on patrol; the headmaster had asked that if i see anything or anyone suspicious then i must report it immediately. i had felt weird about it all since he said something horrific would be happening soon so we all needed to keep a look out. i mean, i don't know why he put me out to walk around in my own considering i'm not even a proper professor but he insisted that i knew enough defensive spells and jinxes that i had his permission to perform. 

" professor? professor, are you in here? " a faint voice came from my door. " come in, it's open " i called from the top of the stairs as it creaked and harry came in. " hello harry " i smiled as he chuckled. " afternoon professor ". " harry potter, you've known me for six years, just call me y/n. it feels weird if you call me professor " i cringed as he let out a hearty laugh. " dumbledore said you're patrolling today, are you going to be okay? " he asked as we both sat down. i nodded and laughed slightly, " why wouldn't i be? ". " no no no i'm not saying anything's going to happen, i was just wondering if you wanted some company? i have a free period too ". " i thought your ambition was to become an auror, i would've thought you wanted to fill it with potions? " i questioned as he sat up a bit. " i have, professor mcgonagall already spoke to me about it ". " ah, that doesn't surprise me. and to answer your question, thankyou but i think it's best if you to potions. don't worry about me, i'll be just fine " i nodded as he did. 

" can i speak to you about something? " harry asked, scratching the back of neck. " of course! ". " well, i got a new potions book but there's something strange about it. there's notes scribbled all over it where the old owner has changed the instructions and put spells i've never heard of before and in the cover, it says it used to be ' property of the half-blood prince '. do you know who that is? ". professor snape. " harry, you know i couldn't tell you even if i knew. do you mind if i take a look at it? " i asked as he pulled it out of his bag and placed it on my desk in front of us. i smiled as i took it and opened it, sure enough " this book is the property of the half-blood prince " was written at the top in small cursive writing. i flicked carefully through the pages as i saw the millions of notes in the same italic writing on almost every instructions page. " you know, today there was a prize of a vial of felix felicis to anyone who could brew an acceptable draft of living death and i did it! with the book of course, but i still did it " he bragged as my breath got caught in my throat when i saw " sectumsempra- for enemies. " scribbled at the top. 

 " i think- i think you should hand this in to professor slughorn and change it for a new one " i said as his face furrowed. " what? no! slughorns thinks i'm a genuis ". we argued back and forth about it until i finally snapped. " merlins beard harry, listen to me! " i shouted as he stopped talking back. i got up from my chair and walked around to his side of the desk and leant against it with the back of my thighs whilst holding myself up with my hands and my feet were crossed over each other. " i'm telling you as a teacher now, not a friend! if you had a shred of self respect, you'd hand that book in " i said harshly as he groaned and rolled his eyes. " you have a nab for knowing what other people have said to me! hermione said that too ".

 " don't roll your eyes at me when i'm trying to help you, it's rude. if hermione has told you that too then maybe you should listen to us!". " but slughorn thinks i'm the potion prince! " he chuckled. " well maybe professor sughorn over-estimates your abilities then, doesn't he? " i said in a matter-of-factly voice and nodded towards the book as his forehead creased and he opened his mouth a few times to try and say something but closed it properly when nothing came out. i raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly to myself as he looked at his lap and fiddled with his thumbs. " the next time i see you, that book better be gone ". " but- ". " no, that's enough! " i raised my voice again as he stood up, towering over me and grabbing the book off of the table. there aren't any ' but this ' or 'but that '. one day, you will find something dangerous in there, you're not going to know what it is and you're going to try it and ending up killing somebody! " i snapped as he stared at me in shock. we stood in silence for a few moments before he finally cleared his throat and spoke up. " y/n, i'm sorry for shouting back at you. i- i know you was just trying to help me and make me see sense and i'm sorry ". " it's okay, thank you for apologising ". he hesitated before walking over to me. " i have to go now so just take my advice, okay? ". " okay " he nodded, slowly sliding his hands around my waist. " please, just get rid of the book. that's all i'm asking " i said into his shoulder. " i will love, i promise ".

" professor! someone needs help! in the male bathroom! " an out-of-breath, younger student came running to me. " quickly! he's bleeding " he shouted as he began running back the way he came. well shit. i began running until i saw the child waiting for me outside the entrance to the boy's lavatory. i stepped inside and my feet were immediately drenched in water as it was flooding; i noticed some trails of red in it as i began traipsing through it. i gasped as i saw draco on the floor with blood oozing out of his body, staining his shirt as he whimpered and let out small cries. i saw something move towards me in the corner of me and my instant reflex was to pull my wand out on them. " y/n " harry breathed as my eyes widened. " do not move any closer or i will hex you " i threatened as he paced back until his back hit the wall. i knelt down beside draco as he whispered my name over and over again. " it's okay draco, i'm here " i soothed as the boy standing at the door began walking over. " don't just stand there! go and get professor snape! " i screamed as he scurried away in fear. " shh, it's okay. snape's coming, he'll help you " i said as my voice shook and i moved round to put dracos head in my lap. 

i ran my fingers through his hair as snape rushed in. i looked at him as tears stung my eyes and he met my gaze before striding to draco and running his wand over the cuts, saying an incantation in a voice which was just above a whisper. " get potter out of here, i'll take mr malfoy to the hospital wing " snape said softly when he saw my gaze on harry. " thank you professor ". " i will update you later on dracos condition ". i nodded and grabbed harry by his arm before dragging him all the way through the school. we saw hermione and ron with ginny and neville but i walked straight past them. they rushed after us and repeatedly called out to harry and i. i pushed harry into my study before turning to the others angrily. " do not wait for him. he wont be out until later ". " what happ- ". " i'm sure you'll hear all the details later but for now, all i'm saying is that potter here, decided he wanted to try and kill malfoy in the boy's lavatory. goodbye " i slammed the door in their faces before turning back to harry. " what the fuck were you thinking? you could've bloody killed him! " i shouted as he flinched and i noticed the book in his hand. " you- i told you this would happen! you promised me that you would hand it in! ". " i'm sorry! i didn't mean to! " harry suddenly shouted, tears falling down his cheeks. " i didn't- " he whispered before he sunk into the chair and hid his face in his hands, letting his body shake violently as he sobbed.
