Strange Times Ahead (Harry Potter x Male Strange Reader)

Chapter 28

The next stop for (F/N) was further down into the castle, but to reach where he was going to go would require a password, or a friend in Slytherin that would allow him access inside. With neither of those, though (F/N) may consider this person an ally for a moment, he returned to his dorm room, all the way in Ravenclaw Tower, and got situated.

Easier than before, (F/N) pushed his astral body out of his physical one and began flying down towards the dungeons of the school, looking for the Slytherin common room. He had to hide himself this time around, as it would raise quite a stir if people saw him as a ghost. Ducking into walls for a moment, he checked each time to see if the coast was clear, before working his way through the floors.

He would soon find his little quest a bit easier when he spotted Crabbe and Goyle, two of Draco's lackeys for mischief, making their way back to the common room. He tailed them with ease, and quickly got ahead of them when they reached the entrance.

Floating in, (F/N) found himself in awe of their common room. True to the location, the common room was almost like a dungeon, except it was a bit more regal. Drapes hung from the cold pillars of the common room, adorned with the Slytherin logo, and fireplaces lining the wall, comfy couches and emerald arm rests, an expansive library, and a large, round table for any sort of get-togethers or extra eating.

(F/N) flew higher up, staying out of eye sight of the students inside, and started searching for the person he was looking for.

Finding no sign of him in the common room, he checked the dorm rooms, going down the hallways to find any sign of him. And fortune favored him when he saw Dragos walk into his dorm room, with a stack of books and parchment under his arm. He hurried into the dorm room, watching as Dragos took a seat at his desk before making himself known.

"Dragos," (F/N) said once he was able to look face-to-face with him. Dragos quickly jumped out of his seat when he saw (F/N)'s head poking out of the wall. He had his wand pulled out, ready for a fight, until he quickly realized who it was that was talking.

"(F/N)?" Dragos asked.

"Yeah, it's me," (F/N) said as he came into full vision and touched down in front of him.

"How are you here?"

"It's a long story," (F/N) immediately replied, "I came to ask you for help." This was where Dragos returned to his normal, composed self.

"You came to me for help?" He asked, unable to believe it. As he got his stuff straightened up from his small fright, (F/N) continued.

"Yes. Me and Dhargey are going to be going somewhere to fight someone. And although Dhargey may be against it, I think it would be best to have you come with us." Dragos chuckled as he slid his chair under his desk.

"You mean the smart (F/N) (L/N), one of the very few students in Hogwarts to perform wandless magic, is needing my help fighting someone?"

"I'm smart, so I'm not stupid enough to go in alone," (F/N) replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"And what makes you think that I would want to go with you?"

"Maybe you don't want to," (F/N) replied. "Maybe you don't want to take on a powerfully strong being in a different world, and let me and Dhargey reap the fame and glory. Maybe you want to continue hiding here in Hogwarts, picking fights with people you know are going to win." He could see Dragos's eye twitch at his words. He grabbed his wand and pointed it towards (F/N).

"I am not hiding," Dragos replied.

"Then come and help us," (F/N) calmly replied. "If you really want to prove that you're the best wizard, if you don't want to be compared to the other Slytherins, then help us stop Nightmare. Otherwise you'll be stuck having the same nightmare over and over again, and maybe worse." (F/N) went to leave the dorm room, only for Dragos to stop him.
