Why? Draco Malfoy X Reader

Year 5: Little Bit Of Happiness

I always thought Umbridge being headmistress would've been a good thing.
But it was weird if I'm being honest.
The paintings that were on the walls were taken off.
We would be inside almost all day because we would be locked inside classrooms until the class was over.
The days seemed like they would drag on and on and it was gloomy everyday.
Honestly, it felt like it was turning into a prison.
The only times Draco and I could hang out alone was after classes in the common room.
Even there it wasn't much fun.
I tried to make the best out of it, especially since the OWLs were coming up quickly.

.          OWLs In Progress..        .

We had our OWLs today and I swear it was not as easy as it looked.
We were in the Great Hall and Umbridge was standing right in front of us, watching our every move.
Draco sat behind me. I didn't understand what anything meant.
I made sure that Umbridge wasn't watching and turn my head to see Draco. I could tell he was just as confused. He met my eyes and I shrug my shoulders. He did the same and I sent him a smile. I turn back around and saw Umbridge watching me. I went poker face and went back to my test.

As the test went on, we heard a loud boom in the distance. I stop and look back to the door. Another loud boom was heard. I look back at Umbridge who looked furious.

The booms were becoming louder and consistent.

Umbridge walks to the door to see what was going on. I turn around to Draco.
"What's going on?" Draco asks with a soft smile.
"I dunno. Whoever it is, doesn't seem like it'll last long." I observe as Umbridge walks out of the room.

Just then a frizzle of firework flies into the hall and pops into different colors.

"What the-" I say as the firework stops popping.
"I know who it is." Draco says in confidence.
I look at him to see what he was thinking then I knew.
"Weasleys." We both say at the same time.
Like on cue, the weasley twins fly in on their brooms yelling, dropping papers and popping fireworks.

Everyone gets up and starts to enjoy the show.

I went up to Draco and I felt myself smile. I saw Draco smiling too.
There were small sizzling fireworks that were getting too close to us. So we started dodging them so we wouldn't get burnt.
One of the fireworks was in front of Goyle's face who smacked it towards Crabbe.
As the both of us hid, I couldn't help but laugh. I look up to see the weasleys popping the biggest firework that made a dragon which chased Umbridge out of the hall.

The force made all of the decrees fall and turn into rubble.
As the weasleys fly out of the hall, I grab Dracos hand and run out with the rest of the crowd.

We were outside where the weasleys continued to pop more fireworks.

Draco and I were smiling and laughing. We were just enjoying this moment.

This Little Bit Of Happiness.

Once the show ended, we headed to our common room. Where we relaxed until we waited for the consequences.
"L/N! Malfoy! Get the squad and come with me! No questions asked." Umbridge yelled into the slytherin common room.
The gang left and followed her.

She demanded us to get "Dumbledore's army" and meet her in her office. She handed us the paper to see those who were members.
"I got Loony Lovegood." I say as I hand the paper to the others as I made my way to the great hall.
I walk as fast as I could.
I go into the Great Hall and grab Lovegood by the robes. I take my wand out and point at her.
"Hey! what are you doing? Let me go!" She says in her soft voice.
"Shut up. Umbridge wants to see you." I say roughly as I basically drag her up to Umbridge's office.
I was the second to last one there.
Potter was in the chair facing Umbridge.
"Caught this one trying to help the Weasley girl." Draco said as he pushed Longbottom into the room.

Umbridge bent down to meet Potter's eye.
"You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you?" Umbridge asks politely as she could.

"No." Potter replied.

Umbridge unexpectedly smacked Potter in the face while calling him a liar.

"You sent for me, headmistress?" I heard Snape's voice and he was there at the door.
"Snape. Yes. The time has come for answers, whether he wants to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?" Umbridge asks in a hurry.
"I'm afraid you've used up all my stores interrogating students, the last of it on Miss Chang."

I heard the enemies take a deep breath.

Lovegood started to shrug so I grabbed her tighter and held the wand closer to her.
"Unless you wish to poison him," Snape continued. "and I assure you, I would have the greatest sympathy if you did, I cannot help you." Snape paused as he made his way out.
"He's got Padfoot." Potter stated. Snape stopped in his tracks.

"He's got padfoot at the place where its hidden." Potter continued.

I give a confused look to the guys and they shrug back in confusion.

"Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about, Snape?" Umbridge questioned.
Snape looked at Umbridge and said, "No idea." He walked out.
"Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is an issue of Ministry security, you leave me with no alternative." She paused.

"The Cruciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue."

As she finished her sentence, I couldn't help but softly gasp as I look at the others in shock.
"That's illegal." Granger noted.
"What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him." Umbridge says as she covers the picture of the minister.
The enemies started to move more, but we just tighten our grip.
Umbridge took her wand and aimed it at Potter.
As she was about to cast Crucio, Granger blurted, "Tell her, Harry!"
"Tell me what?" Umbridge looked at Granger.
"Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will." Granger advised.
"Where what is?" Umbridge grew impatient.

"Dumbledore's secret weapon."

And with that, Umbridge left with Granger and Potter.
We were left with the others. Lovegood started to push and pull away from me.
"Stop moving!" I demanded as I push her onto a chair. I casted a spell that tied her to the chair.
"L/N, just leave her alone." Weasley demanded.
"Let's sit them down and tie them up." Draco says as he pushes Longbottom into a seat and ties him up with ropes. The rest do the same.
Not long later, Weasley begins to talk.

"I'm hungry."
"Deal with it." I demanded.
"But I'm hungry." Weasley continued.
I groan and look around for something to give him so he could shut up.
"I found these. They're candies." Goyle said as he held up a box that he found in Umbridge's desk.
"They look good. Give me one." Draco said as he put his hand out.
"Can I have one? I'm hungry." Weasley whined.
"Bugger off." Draco said as he ate one of the candies. I ate one too.
Within seconds, we were all puking our lungs out. We all went to our own garbage cans and just puked and puked.
Ugh it was disgusting. I couldn't even get up to stop them from escaping.

After awhile, the puking started to stop.
I was sick to my stomach.
I wiped off the leftover puke from my mouth.
Ugh, I needed to lay down and get this day over with.
As I made my way out, Draco and the rest of them look so sick.
"I don't feel good." Draco said in a groggy voice.
"Let's go to our common room. We can sleep away the rest of the day." I told them and thats what we did.
