Oakley Potter

I was in my dorm room now. Its the night before the first task. I haven't left my dorm room. I haven't spoken to anyone. Not Draco. Not Harry. Not Daphne. Not no one. My fear corrupted me so much that Ive been an anxious mess trapped in my room. Ive gotten letter after letter from Harry. Telling me what the task are about and what all he knows and how to handle them and a numerous amount of spells to learn.

I looked up from my bed and heard knocks from the door, of course I had it locked.

"Oakley, Im coming in." I couldn't tell who it was.

"Alohomora"

And there entered Draco, with a cup of tea and a skinny black box.

He sat next to me on my bed and put the box next to him. "You haven't left your room in ages."

"I dont wanna do this. I want it to be done and over with. Do you know how dangerous those tasks are? Theres no way I'll survive." I shivered at every word practically.

He looked at me with gentle eyes, trying to read my thoughts.  He placed his hand on my knee. "Im sure you'll do just fine."

"Why have you been so nice to me lately? This isn't the Draco I've known for years, what happened?" I looked him up and down. He was sat with a white button up and green and blue plaid pajama pants. Of course he was as pretty as always.

He sighed and rolled his eyes towards me. "Well its our fourth year now, I don't have much more time to be nice to you. So if I dont start now it'll never happen. Of course I still make cocky comments or have a snotty attitude, but its better than nothing"

After he stopped talked he hands me the box he carried in. "Whats this?" I asked, I shook around the box to be met with a hard smacking sound, like there was something wood in there.

"Open it"

I lifted the lid to reveal a wand just as exact as mine. Made with applewood with a dragon heartstring core, exactly 10 inches long. The same wand I have now aka my wand.
"How and why did you get this?" I question as i lifted it.

"Well I have my ways, and its always said that a new wand works better than an old one, and its still your wand as its under your name of course" He said proudly with an enormous smirk planted on his face.

"Thanks Malfoy"

His eyes darted from the wand to my eyes. "Just be careful out there, okay?"

"I'll try my best" I spoke, as I twirled the wand around my fingers.

"Ya know, your really not as annoying as I used to think." He cooed.

"Nice to know." I laughed. As I placed my new wand on my nightstand.

"I think you ought to get some sleep tonight."

"I think so too" I slurred.

"I'll let you get some rest then." And with that he stood up and dusted down his pants. He left my room and locked the door back behind him.

AU- Im so sorry these first few chapters are so short. I pinky promise they get longer and more interesting 😙
