A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

5| Hogsmeade Saturday?

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked looking up at him with teary eyes.

"I-I don't know." He admitted. "Are you alright now?"

"Yeah. Can you take me to the Gryffindor common room please?" I stood up my legs still quivering a little.

"Of course." He helped me walk and I eventually was able to walk normally again. This whole situation was making it even harder to not like him.

"Do you want to share what was going on?" He asked as we climbed the stairs.

"Slate. He isn't a good person." I started as we walked up the moving staircases.

"He all the sudden just wanted to have sex with me but I kept saying no because we're too young." I watched his understanding expression as I continued to explain the situation.

"He didn't like that so he tried forcing me and I still refused him." The tears were coming back but I had to finish my story. "Eventually, he ran out of patience and started hurting me. That's when you came. Thank you."

"Wow. That's a lot to take in." Draco stopped walking for a moment trying to comprehend the story.

He suddenly hugged me and I just started crying my eyes out. Whenever I was sad and someone hugged me, it just made me cry harder.

I guess we were walking as I was crying on Draco because the door to the common room suddenly opened and Draco walked me in.

"Natalie! Oh my gosh! Malfoy get away from my sister!" Harry ran up to me and Draco passed me to Harry.

"I'm not the one you should be saying that to." Draco said and started walking back towards the door.

"Don't go!" I called to him as my tears slowly stopped.

"Mind explaining what happened?" Ron said walking over.

"It was Slate." Draco spoke up seeing as I wasn't going to. Harry felt my body tense up as I heard his name so he hugged me tighter.

"What about him?" Hermione asked.

By now, there was a small crowd around us of curious Gryffindors. "Not here. Can we go to one of your dorms?" Draco asked.

"Yeah, that's fine we can go to mine." Harry helped me up and led me to his room. I had only been in here a few times but it was very different from the girls dormitories. The girls got to share with one or two people while the boys shared with five or six.

"Ok hurry up Malfoy what happened with Slate?" Avery asked walking in and shutting the door behind her.

"Natalie do you want to tell them?" Draco asked me. I shook my head.

"Alright well, I was walking through the corridors and I heard some arguing. I got closer to the sound and it was Natalie and Slate. He was trying to force her to go with him and she wouldn't so he put his hands on her."

"I'm going to kill that bastard!" Harry got up handing me to Hermione.

"No Harry!" Ron ran after him.

"I didn't even finish my story." Draco mumbled.

"Well finish it now." Avery told him in an almost sarcastic tone.

I laughed. The tears were slowing down more and they no longer clouded my vision.

"Ok fine. Malfoy finish the story." Harry walked back over to us and kept hugging me.

"So I heard the arguing but I also heard Natalie having a hard time breathing so I ran over and started to duel with Slate. I won obviously and helped Natalie up. She was having a panic attack and I helped calm her down but after that I think she was just really upset and needed someone there. Now I'm done." Draco finished.
