y/n, ron and hermione were now sat outside on a bench. y/n had been reading through a book hermione had given her whilst ron jotted down notes from hermione's work.

movement of red caught y/n eye as she glanced up to see harry and his team walking towards the slytherins.

she sighed, "uh oh, trouble 12 o'clock." she said to the two.

they turned to her in confusion before looking in the direction she was staring in, "bloody hell, this doesn't look good." ron mumbled.

they all got up and began to make their way over just in time to here oliver wood announce that slytherin had a new seeker.

this peaked everyone's interest.

two slytherin's moved out of the way as a certain platinum haired boy walked forward. y/n's eyes widened instantly.

"draco?!" she exclaimed in shock. the boy glanced in her direction and smiled proudly before returning his eyes to harry.

y/n rolled her own eyes, 'of course he's focused on harry.'

harry seemed to be shocked himself as he uttered, "malfoy?"

draco smirked, "that's right," he answered, "and that's not all that's new this year." he said, referring to his broom.

everyone looked down and examined the brooms.
y/n had no knowledge of what the difference was between the brooms, only that draco's looked newer.

ron released a shocked breath, "those are nimbus 2001's!" he made known, "how did you get those...?"

"a gift from draco's father." one of them replied.

y/n scoffed, 'of course it was.'

draco smirked once again, "you see weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best." he spat. y/n glared through his soul.

she opened her mouth to say something but hermione was quick on his rail, "at least no one from the gryffindor team had to buy their way in. they got in on pure talent." she announced.

y/n's jaw dropped at the girl, to say she was impressed was an understatement.

draco sneered, before stepping towards hermione, "no one asked for your opinion, you filthy mudblood."

y/n gritted her teeth, no matter how much she cared for draco, he was really starting to piss her off right now.

y/n saw the pained look in hermione's eyes but she continued to glare at draco, as if she was covering that it hurt up.

y/n was about to pull out her wand before ron beat her to it, "you'll pay for that one, malfoy." he told, "eat slugs!" he casted.

unfortunately the spell had backfired, literally, and ron went flying backwards across the grass.

the slytherins began to laugh as the gryffindor team and hermione ran to ron's side.

y/n took a deep breath and clenched her right fist, 'calm down, y/n, stay cool. don't let emotions get in the way or it'll end up hurting you.' she told herself.

but when she heard draco snickering from behind her, she could stop herself from turning around and swinging her fist into the boy's noise. a crack could be heard as he fell backwards.

she hissed in pain, clutching onto her fist in agony, "ah buggar, that hurt more than i expected!" she whimpered before regaining her composure.

the slytherins were staring at her in shock, not moving to help draco who was crying and holding his nose in the floor.
