Falling For You-Draco Malfoy x Y/N

1 - 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐈 𝐍 𝐑 𝐈 𝐃 𝐄

y/n - your name
y/l/n - your last name
________________________________

fourth year

as you arrive at platform 9 3/4, before stepping onto the train you look around to see if you could see your friends, at the corner of your eye you could see your step-mother gritting her teeth wanting you to get out of her sight and onto the train.

to be honest, you just wanted her to disappear and never see her again.

but you do have people that care about you, your friends, who can also be known as the golden trio.

harry, hermione and ron. (oh, you do also have other amazing friends like luna and cho.)

you don't have any proper parents anymore, so during the holidays you always stay with your step-mother's friend, your parents were very close friends with them too. your step-mother doesn't like you for some reason and you don't understand why, you don't mind living with my parents' friend though, (also your step-mothers friend) because they are really nice and treat you way better than your step-mother does. in your life, you don't have a real family, it's pretty sad but you're alright. you have your friends which you're grateful for. you
were unable to see them during the holidays and was so bored.

,,y/n!'

a familiar voice interrupts my thoughts, i turn around and see hermione's pure, smiling face.

,,hermione!'

i smile brightly and run up to her to hug her.

,,we need to head onto the train now, as expected, the boys and i have saved you a seat, of course.'

,,students of hogwarts must and shall aboard the express, we will be leaving any second!'

we notice the doors start closing, hermione grabs my hand and jumps onto the train.

the closing door clips my bag and my quill falls out.

,,no!'

i try and save it but no luck.

,,don't worry y/n, we can get you a new one or see if professor has a spare you can use for the meantime'

,,okay'

i say before stepping in the compartment, i look left and at the corner of my eye i see a platinum blonde haired boy in a black suit with a black polo neck. his bluey-grey eyes meet with mine, causing me to look away nervously. i look back at him.

draco malfoy.

the rich, smug, pureblood who has an obsession over saying 'wait till my father hears about this'.

after him quickly changing his expression to a 'what you looking at' look, i break eye contact and make my last step into the compartment and sit down opposite hermione and harry whilst i sit next to ron.

,,hey y/n'

harry greets me.

,,hey!'

i smile.

,,anyone up for snacks?'

ron says excitedly.

,,am i..? i'm so hungry! what have you got?'

,,well, we've got chocolate frogs, bertie botts every flavour beans, more chocolate...'

,,oh alright, plenty to keep us going for the journey then'

i smile

we all share snacks and feed each other them. the trio makes me happy, i feel grateful when i'm with them. grateful for their presence. grateful that i'm their friends.

we all caught up and had conversations about what we did over the holidays. we laughed, had fun and made jokes with one and other.

,,where have you stayed then, y/n?'

hermione asks me.

,,i've been with my step-mother's friend as usual...pretty boring'

,,oh, i see,

she mumbles.

,,you could always stay with me and my family next year if you wanted to. it would be really fun with you!'

ron says kindly.

,,thanks ron, that's really nice.'

i smile warmly.

after chatting with my friends for a few hours, i look out the window and the familiar castle slowly rises from the foggy, dark distance.

,,we're here!'

i point to the window.

we all grab our luggage and head off the train.

as i walk out of the compartment, students flood the small train corridors and they all nudge past me causing me to fall, but i feel a tight grip hold onto my arm to prevent me from falling. i instantly feel nervous.

,,uhm, thanks'

i awkwardly say but then i turn to see who it is. his bluey-grey eyes glaring down on me.

as i look at malfoy, thoughts fill my mind. i get this weird feeling in my stomach and i don't understand what it is. i don't know if it's good or bad.

his eyes are just so-
no, i mustn't think like that. it's draco malfoy. i despise him. he's mean, annoying...

the thoughts stay in my mind and i can't get them out.

draco looks at me once again, he looked a little surprised himself that he saved me. i see a tiny smirk spread on his mouth as he looks at me, but he manages to get rid of it it fast enough.

he quickly lets go of me and walks fast enough for him to get away from me, his silky robe brushing against mine and glided off the train.

,,what was that about?'

hermione nudges me.

,,i have no idea'

,,did you see the way he held you?!'

,,shh!'

,,y/n that was a big deal, and it still is!'

,,i guess...'

hermione's right, although he did only hold me by my arm, -not that i wanted him to hold me anywhere else- it wasn't just some small misunderstanding. malfoy saved me. why? why would he go near me? i thought he hated me...let alone go and save me from falling.

i sigh

,,im just going to forget it. it was nothing, plus he probably thought i was someone else'

i roll my eyes

,,if you say so..'

hermione adds whilst motioning me to hurry up.

after what feels like ages, we walk into the castle and into the great hall, i say my goodbyes to hermione, harry and ron as we part to our own house tables.

i wish i was in gryffindor with the others so i didn't have to leave them, but i'm not and for some reason that stupid sorting hat out my in slitheryn. i don't really have any other friends in my house.
