Unapologetic ❅ Draco Malfoy

First Year Drama

Emery's POV

I woke up bright and early slowly rolling out of bed and heading to the bathroom, Today is the first day of classes which made my anxiety spike. I started to get my hair ready which I french braided it and fixed the lose strands that hung out, I sighed softly as I slid my robes on looking in the mirror for the last time before heading out of the Girls dormitory. Hermoine was already sitting down in the Gryffindor common room with a pretty decent size book in her hand slowly turning through the pages before looking up at me giving me a bright smile "Morning Em, How did you sleep?" she spoke in a happy tone, it was way to early to even talk at this point but I cleared my throat before speaking "Eh I slept well I suppose just a lot to get use too, how about you?" I spoke in a much softer tone than her, showing that I wasn't much of a morning person and was a bit on edge. "I slept surprisingly well, I was so excited last night to start classes. The boys aren't up yet, so we can always head down to the Great Hall for some breakfast!" She looped her arm in mine and basically started dragging me out of the common room down the many sets of stairs.

Eventually we did end up there and sat towards the middle of the Gryffindor table, I grabbed some toast and pumpkin juice not really wanting to eat much due to my nervous stomach. I looked around my surroundings seeing lots of other students sitting at their tables chatting away about todays events, suddenly I felt someone staring at me and it almost gave me chills down my spine. I looked over at the Slytherin table to see Draco Malfoy staring at me, as if he was observing me. He smirked slightly before looking away and chatting with some of his mates I assumed. I shook it off and began to eat some of my toast wanting time to pass by more and more, was this the right decision? Coming to a school I barely know about, the one my father wanted to keep me from and keep me in our small Irish town. 

Eventually time did pass faster than I realize, Hermione was trying to snap me out of my thoughts to get me to our first class. Hesitate at first I got up and followed her out of the Great Hall, down the long corridors before we reached Professor McGonagall which was Transfiguration class. I sat next to Hermione patiently seeing a tabby like cat sitting on the Professors text, I found it odd but kept my comments to myself and grabbed my book out of my bag. Soon I figured out that the cat was Professor McGonagall and was astonished to say the least, we started class and had a few delays due to Ron and Harry being late but other than that the class was truly interesting.

--------------------------LUNCH TIME---------------------

Me, Ron, Hermione, and Harry eventually got done eating our lunch and headed to the court yard to talk about the rest of our day. It was calming and I felt at peace around them not having to worry about anyone else's thoughts or opinions... Well until Malfoy decided to walk over and pick a fight with Harry. "Well look what we have here boys, a bunch of nerds with their girlfriends" they all laughed nudging at each other, you could tell Hermione's cheeks got red either with anger or embarrassment I couldn't tell which at the moment. "Shove off Malfoy, Do you really have nothing better else to do other than pick fun with your boyfriends" I finally spit out of my mouth, I don't know what his problem was but I was sick of him picking on my friends.

He was thrown back at first not expecting the comment out of my mouth, quite frankly I don't think any of my friends were at the time. "Who are you again?" he raised his eyebrow having a smug look on his face, I stood up facing him eye to eye almost "Emery Rose, now if I knew better I would suggest you to leave my friends alone" I shoved him back and the face he gave off was hilarious almost before something clicked in his head "Rose, hmm was your mother Onyx Rose?" he smirked even more now and my breath was almost snatched away from me when the name spit out of his mouth with no hesitation. "What does that matter to you Malfoy?" I crossed my arms looking at him, my heart started to thump louder almost as if everyone else could hear it, I was waiting for a answer but he was taking his sweet time answering my question. "I've heard stories about her from my father, I'd watch your tongue if you know what's best for you.. Rose" He smirked before shoving past me with his little group, I was dumbfounded wanting to know more but knowing he wasn't going to answer any of my questions. 

I stood there silent not knowing what to say, Hermione and Harry stood up standing in front of me trying to shake me lightly "Em, what does he mean?" Hermione finally spoke trying to get at least something out of me, I shook my head before looking at her "I have no idea, I barely know anything about my mother" everyone could tell how shocked I was, how could some random boy know more about my own mother than I do. "Listen we'll figure it out Emery, don't let him get under your skin like that." Harry spoke softly giving me a gentle pat on the back, He was trying to be comforting but I couldn't help to feel these spirals of emotion wanting to pour out.

That was the only day I would let Draco Malfoy leave me like that, and I won't let him have power over me like that. This was the day I would no longer be nice and to protect me & my friends at all cost.. no matter what it takes.

Authors note: Hello everyone! I'm sorry its a tad short, I think I'm gonna skip a few years due to there not being much you can do at this time. So the next few chapters are when things are really going to be interesting and kinda angsty lol, Keep in mind there will be mature events in this book but I will ALWAYS put warning before them in the beginning of the chapter. But thank you for reading and I hope you're enjoying it! -Pumpkin
