Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

Year 1: Detention with the Trio

The first quidditch match of the season started today. Slytherin vs Gryffindor. Draco and I were at the front and we held flags showing our spirit for our house.

Once the game started, Angelina Johnson scores two goals.
Gryffindor was up by 20.
Marcus Flint, who was captain of the quidditch team hit a bludger and knocked out the keeper of the gryffindor team.
They were able to make two goals.
The slytherin team became more aggressive.
Both seekers from each team were chasing down the snitch. Our seeker held back when he was chasing it all the way to the ground, leaving the door open for Potter. Potter eventually caught it, if you count spitting it out of your mouth.
Unfortunately, we lost the match.

"Crickets. I made a bet with a Ravenclaw for 10 galleons that Slytherin would come out a victory." I sigh. "Maybe he forgot?" Crabbe suggested. "Hey l/n. Better pay up." He said and I gave him his money. He walks away 10 galleons richer.

. Some days later .

It was nighttime.
Draco and I snuck out of the common room to go out in the halls.

"No, thats not how it goes. It's Pumpkin, Snare, Honeysuckle." Draco starts as he moved around the coins he was talking about.

"What? I remember it was Pumpkin, Honeysuckle, THEN Snare." I argued as I changed them back.

"No no no." He says then gets distracted. I turn around.

Potter, Weasley and Granger were making their way out of the castle. "Come on let's go follow them. Bring the candle." Draco said getting up. "Wait up." I say as I grab the lantern and follow him.

We saw them going down to Hagrid's hut. "What are they doing there?" I ask somewhat to myself. "Let's get closer." He says.

We ended up looking into the hut through a small window. "There's an egg on the table." I whispered. Without hesitation the egg broke open and a small creature appeared. "That's an ugly creature." Draco whispered. The creature caught Hagrid's beard on fire. "It's a dragon." I whispered in shock. "Dragons arent allowed on school grounds." Draco whispers to me. As we turn back around, Hagrid and the rest were looking at us. Without hesitation we ran back towards the castle.

"What now?!" I say while running back. "We tell Professor McGonagall!" Draco says.

We make our way up the stairs in the castle to Prof. McGonagall's office. We knock on the door.

She answers it some moments later.

"Professor?" Draco questioned as Prof. McGonagall holds up her lantern. "What is it, Malfoy?" She grumbled.

"Potter, Weasley and Granger are out of bed! They went to Hagrid's Hut." Draco explained. "And Hagrid has a dragon!" I say.

She lets us come inside and we heard the trio coming in. "Good evening." Prof. McGonagall says to them. She takes them into her office and we see them. I give them a "we caught you" face. They just rolled their eyes and ignored me.

"Nothing, I repeat, Nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night."

Draco and I couldnt help but laugh. We caught them and they were being punished!

"Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken." Prof. McGonagall continued.
That was a lot. "50?" Potter questioned. "Each." She continued.

"And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all five of you will receive detention." Five?! I thought it was just gonna be them. I cant have detention.

"Excuse me Professor." Draco stood up. "Perhaps I hear you wrong. I thought you said the five of us." he continued. "No you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see as honorable your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will both join your classmates in detention." McGonagall finished.

I looked over at them and they were smiling at each other. Ugh. Detention with the trio.

. Some time later... .

"A pity they let the old punishment die. There was a time detention would find you hanging from your thumbs in the dungeon. god i miss the screaming." Mr. Filch said as he was guiding us to detention.
This was punishment enough hearing Mr, Filch go on and on.

"You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He got a little job to do inside the dark forest." He finishes as we arrive to hagrid's hut. "The dark forest?" I ask in shock. "A sorry lot this, hagrid." Mr.Filch said. Hagrid looked as if he was crying. "Oh good god, man. You're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?" Mr. Filch asked. Hagrid sniffled. "Norberts gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania. To live in a colony." "Well thats good isnt it. He'll be with his own kind." Granger said. "What if he dont like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him? Hes only a baby after all." Hagrid argues.

"Oh for gods sake, pull yourself together man. You're going into the dark forest after all. Got to have your wits about you." Mr Filch finished.

"The forest? I thought that was a joke. We cant go in there. Students arent allowed. And There are- -" Draco stops. He couldnt think if anything. "Werewolves!" I say. "There's more than werewolves in those trees. You can be sure of that. Nighty night." Mr. Filch says as he leaves back to the castle. "Let's go." Hagrid says as he pick his stuff up to go.

We all walk into the dark forest following close behind hagrid. Fang came along too, Hagrid's dog.

We stopped by a pool of silver liquid. Hagrid bends down to see what it was. "Hagrid, what is that?" Potter asked. "What we're here for. See that? That's unicorn blood, that is." He started. "I found one dead a few weeks ago. This one's been hurt bad by something." He stops as he looks around for something.

All I could hear was the howling of werewolves.

"So its our job to go and find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione, you'll come with me." Hagrid continued. That means I had to go with Potter and Draco. "Harry, you go with l/n and Malfoy." "Okay, then I get Fang." Draco said. "Fine. Just so's you know, he's a bloody coward." Hagrid says and Fang whines.

"Come on Fang let's go." I tell Fang and he comes to me. All four of us walk together through the dark forest. "Wait til my father hears about this. This is servant's stuff." Draco says as he holds the lantern. "If I didn't know better, Draco, I'd say you were scared." Potter said.

"Scared, Pottah?" Draco mimicked.

A loud howl sounded awfully close. "Shush, did you hear that?" I told them.

"Come on lets keep going." Potter said. "Come on Fang" I urged as he was getting left behind. We walked for a while. "How much longer? My feet are killing me." I say as we go down a small hill of thick trees. Then I saw what I never thought I would see.

There was a hooded figure that was feeding off of the unicorn's blood. He looked up at us and snarled. I couldnt help but scream and run the opposite direction. Draco did the same too. Fang followed us as we screamed, "HELP!" I ended up crashing into Granger and we both fell down.

"What are you on about?" Hagrid said. "Theres somebody down there with Potter." Draco said. Granger and I get up and we follow the rest. We were returning to the location where we ran, but the hooded figure was gone. Instead there was a centaur talking to Potter. "Hello there Frienze." Hagrid greeted putting down his crossbow. The centaur said goodbye to Potter and we returned back to the castle.

"I dont think im going to sleep tonight." Draco said as we head to the common room. "Me either. What was that thing back there?" I ask. "Dunno, but its an scary creature." Draco says as we enter the common room. "Try and get some sleep. Goodnight." I tell Draco as I make my way to my dormitory. I take off my cloak and place it on my nearby chair. I did it quietly so I wouldnt wake, Olivia and Daisy. I laid down in bed and my body relaxed. God, my feet hurt. I tried sucking it up and getting some sleep.
