Y/n x Draco

Author's POV
—————————————————————————

Y/n was walking to her room when some guys from her grade took her backpack.

"Give it back!" she yelled even knowing that they won't.

"Come and get it," they said and started teasing her.

Y/n knew that it was useless to run after them to get her backpack, so instead, she said, "I'll tell professors and you will get suspended. Give my backpack back."

The boys ignored her, went to the trash can, and said, "Okay, you can tell professors, but we will look at your stuff and then throw your backpack in the trash, and..."

The other boy interrupted the one who was holding the backpack and continued, "No we will burn your stuff in front of your eyes! And if you tell professors we will make your life miserable."

The other one looked at the boy who suggested a great idea for them and whispered, "Wow dude, it's awesome." The other one responded with a smile, "I know right." Afterward, they looked at Y/n, who was supposed to make the decision.

It looked like an easy one, she should have told everything professors and ended this hell, which was happening to her since 1st year. But she knew them well, is she would tell professors her life would become even more miserable.

She tried to think but panic would not let her alone. Y/n tried to take deep breaths to calm down since her anxiety was rising, but instead, she took a few short and unbalanced breaths.

She started shaking even more when one of the boys said, "You have ten seconds to answer, or we will go away with your backpack." The other one started back counting, "ten, nine, eight...."

Y/n opened her mouth to say something when some voice yelled at boys from back of her, "What are you doing?"

"Oh hey Draco! We are taking this girl's backpack. Would you mind joining?" one of the boys suggested knowing well that Malfoy, known as the best bully would join them for sure.

"Who is she?" but instead of just saying yes, he decided to know who are they going to tease.

"It's that girl from Slytherin who you were teasing since first grade, but now you stopped, "Draco remembered Y/n and how he was calling her Mudblood even knowing that she is a pureblood. Just calling her Mudblood made Y/n mad which was giving pleasure to Malfoy.

Draco has flashbacks of the last years and how he treated Y/n. Just now, looking at her watered eyes made him realize his mistakes.

Draco thought that it was too late to fix what he had done, but here it is; a great chance of fixing his mistakes.

Draco took the backpack from one of the boy's hands and looked at Y/n saying, "Leave her alone, I'll deal with her." The boys left with giggles knowing that he would tease the girl very well. Even Y/n knew that something bad was about to happen. Draco Malfoy who bullied her for three years was standing right in front of her planning what to do with her stuff.

Y/n's anxiety was rising as Draco approached her. She was breathing so fast and irregularly that Draco could hear it. Finally, when they were close enough Draco handed the backpack to her nicely saying, "Sorry about them, they are a bunch of morons. Let's go you need to calm down." Draco smiled and walked with Y/n to his room.

Y/n was shocked that Draco helped her and didn't say any bad things. When they reached his room, he gave Y/n tea. She looked at tea and Draco. Draco was drinking the tea and looking at her.

"Why aren't you drinking?" asked Draco as he made a sip of the tea.

"I... I don't want to. What if there is something?"
Y/n could not trust him.

"I promise there is nothing, it's just tea." Draco tried to earn trust from her, which seemed impossible after years of bullying. "Y/n, I am sorry that I called you Mudblood and other stuff. It's just I kind of liked you and didn't know how to talk with you."

"So you bullied me?" Y/n was both surprised and frustrated.

"Sorry, I didn't know how to... okay never mind. I realize that it is too late, but please give me a chance. I promise I'll be a better friend. And if later everything will work out, maybe we can ...." Draco was about to finish his apologizing speech when Y/n cut him and said, "Let's just stop at the second chance, I don't know what may happen later."

"Are you giving me a chance?" Draco never was as happy as now.

"This little talk helped me to understand you a little. You need to be grateful that I'm trying to understand you and give you a chance. It's just I feel that you are not what they say you are."

Draco hugged Y/n with happiness. This was the moment when he felt warm and loved. when Y/n was about to leave he said, "Thank you again. I would be a great friend, I promise."

Y/n just smiled back and went to her room thinking about him:
Draco
Malfoy.
