Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

Year 5: Dumbledore's Army

The past week was good.
I was able to get to know my Aunt Sherry, James, and Jackson for real this time.

On the train to Hogwarts, I decided to tell Draco everything Jackson told me the day I went home for Christmas.

"Woah. That makes total sense." Draco exclaimed.
"I know. I wish I hadn't judged him as quick as I did." I frowned.
"The way you feel is understandable. You haven't seen your brother in years and that's not okay." Draco assured me.
I nod as I take out the Daily Prophet to catch up on the news.
I lay my head on Draco's shoulder as I continue to read.

.        A couple of days later       .

"Hey Cho." I say to Cho Chang who was approaching the wall where the room of requirement lies.
Since we got back to Hogwarts, our mission for Umbridge had taken over my mind.
I was planning on interrogating Cho Chang so we could get her to talk about the organization.

"Uh...Hi?" She hesitantly says.
"Where are you off to?" I ask as I step closer to her.
"My...common room." She stops in between words.
"Oh. I thought the ravenclaw common room was over there." I point to the opposite direction she was walking towards.
"Doesn't matter anyway. Umbridge wants to see you in her office." I say as I gesture her to follow me.
"Come on."
She steps back and says, "I can't. I need to go to-"
"I'm not taking 'No' for an answer." I spat as Crabbe and Goyle grab her from her arms.
She started to push and pull to get away from their grasp.

We take her up to Defense Against the Dark Arts. We were able to get her to Umbridge's office. We sit her down before Umbridge could finish sipping on her tea. Goyle shuts the door behind us.

"Yes?" Umbridge asks as she puts down her teacup.
"She could tell us about the organization. You didn't get to interrogate her. She managed to slip away." I informed her.

"Very well. Let me get my things." She said as she leaves the room.
Cho made a break for it and tried to run.
I caught her and sat her back down in the chair.
"You're not getting out of here easily." I say to her face.
Draco enchanted a spell that wrapped her with ropes, so she wouldn't try to escape. Cho slouched in her chair as Umbridge walked back in. Umbridge made no comment about Cho being tied up. "You can run along now, children." Umbridge says as she gives her high pitched chuckle.

We left the office feeling nervous.
Would Cho resist the potion like everyone else?
She doesn't seem like the type to.
We sit on the desks waiting to see what happens in that office.
We sat in silence trying to relinquish our thoughts.
I passed looks to Draco as a way to comfort him and he did the same.

The doorknob starts to jiggle and the door opens. Out comes Cho with her head facing down and Umbridge close behind her.
"The truth has come out." Umbridge says almost furious.
"I'm going to destroy this organization once and for all. Grab her and follow me!" Umbridge demanded.
I grab Cho by her robes and she gives out a low gasp.
We follow Umbridge down to the Room of Requirement. One by one each of the Inquisitorial Squad members started to join us. Even Mr. Filch.
I smile to Draco as way to say we caught them.
He returns one back
"Stand back." Umbridge warns and we do what she says.
"Bombarda Maxima," Umbridge chants as an explosion shoots from her wand, causing the wall to shatter.
"Bombarda Maxima," Umbridge chants once again as another explosion shoots from her wand, causing the wall to make a small hole.
I saw Potter and some other Gryffindor on the other side of the wall.
"I'll make short work of this." Umbridge told them.
She lifted her wand once again and chanted
"Bombarda Maxima."
The wall burst open. As the big pieces of rubble and smoke clear up, we saw a whole class of students doing who knows what. I grab Cho and show her to the rest of her colleagues, to show them what an unfaithful member she is.
"Get them!" Umbridge demanded and the rest of the Inquisitorial Squad grabbed every one of them.
We take them out and Umbridge examines the room.
As she walked out she held up a paper.
It was titled "Dumbledore's Army." with a bunch of signatures under it.
So that's what this was. A plan to save Dumbledore. Idiots.
"This is an abomination!" She angrily whispers loudly as she holds up the paper.
It went silent.
"What do we with them, Professor?" I ask her breaking the silence.
She takes a deep breath.

"I'll deal with them, later. I'm going to have a word with Dumbledore." She furiously says as she shoves through all of us. "Potter, Chang. Someone grab them and follow me." She demands as she continues to walk. Mr. Filch grabs Cho from me and Potter from Draco. He walks fast to keep up with Umbridge.

We were left with the rest of them.
"What we ought to do with them, huh?" Crabbe says who was holding Hermione and Luna.
"Let's have a little fun shall we?" Draco says as he pulls Weasley closer to him as Weasley rolled his eyes.
I laugh as I agree.
Then, an explosion of smoke startled us and we start to cough, letting "Dumbledore's army" a chance to escape. Once the smoke cleared up, our coughing was coming to a minimum.
"Who did that?" I ask in between coughs.
"One of the Weasley twins." One of the older slytherins replied.
"Typical." Draco says as he clears his throat.

.     Some time later      .

I was walking to the great hall with the gang when thunder and lightning struck outside.
Rain was coming.
"Shh, do you hear that?" I ask as I shush the boys. The sound of hammering a nail caught our attention. Then I realized what it was.
Another decree.
We all rush to the wall and saw what I expected.

Mr. Filch hanging another decree.

It said, "Dolores Jane Umbridge has replaced Albus Dumbledore as head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
As I read the last word, I couldn't help but softly smile.

Dumbledore's gone.

Umbridge has replaced Dumbledore.
