Always The Chosen One (y/n x malfoy)

A bit of Fire

In The Hallways of Hogwarts
Y/N's POV
Malfoy and I were walking through the halls quietly side by side as I had Neville floating behind us.  Malfoy says, "He looks horrible-"  I looked over to him as I scoffed, as I felt like he would say something the whole time since weve left.  I said, "Seriously?" "What?"  I stopped, as he than stopped due to seeing me stop next to him.  I said sternly while crossing my arms, "You did it intentionally didn't you?"  He looked at me confused as he asked, "Whats going on?  What did I do intentionally??"  I dropped my facial expression as I motioned to Neville.  I said, "Goyale said you did it on purpose.  The flying up for his broom quickly- making people look at you while he flys to the flag pole that you threw him towards."  Malfoy looks at my lips with a stern, serious look.  I asked, "So?  What is it Malfoy?" "Why do you insist on calling me Malfoy?  You know my name-" "And you know my question- so stop dodging it." "Fine!"  He gulped cutting himself off before shaking his head as he said, "No- I didnt, is that what you want to hear?"  I felt conflicted, Huh?  He says, "Im not as smart as Goyale may think- or you.  Alright?  Im sorry."  He gulped looked downwards as I said, "I-Wait..  I think youve read me wrong."  He looks up at me confused, "What do you mean?"  I sighed, "I don't care how smart you are, sure its impressive when someone knows as much as myself- but, thats only because of how much time I put into the stuff I know." "Thats a little self-absorbed, dont you think?" he half smiled at me slightly.  I nodded, "It is.  But, Ive spent practically every second of the day throughout my whole life- just constantly learning.  Not really a second to breathe, and itll be the same here for me- you know."  He looks at me intrigued saying, "Why?  Do you have some weird attraction to books?"  he chuckled as I stayed straight faced.  I rolled my eyes slightly as I shook my head no continuing to walk saying, "Lets just say I have to- and during that I found myself intrigued by learning."  He starts to follow me as he went straight faced as he seen it wasnt a moment for joking.  I said, "Look- I think you, Goyale and Crabbe aren't bad to hang around.  Infact, its quite nice to be around you guys- but I dont need things taking me away from my work."  He nodded as I said, "I dont like the drama.  I wont do these fights, or house wars- Im here to learn and thats all."  He nodded understanding, he grabbed my hand as he turned me around towards him- stopping both of us from walking.  I turn to him as I looked at his hand, "Alright- but can we still be friends?"  I felt taken back a little by his words.  He says, "I... I like hanging out with you too- and im sure the guys would say so too if they were here."  I slightly smiled as I nodded, "I call you Malfoy cause im not sure how to feel about Draco-"  He looked at me as a huge confused smile creeped in, "Im sorry- what??"  I slightly giggled as I teased, "Eh- maybe youll understand it one day.  Got to open a book maybe to undestand it though."  As I pulled his hand off walking away laughing as he said, "Hey!  Thats not fair!"  While jogging back up to me as we laughed together.  He tapped me as he stopped behind me, "This door."   I followed him into these double doors as a lady approached saying, "Oh my- Draco!  What did you do to this boy this time?!"  She went to Nevilles side as I gulped, he always in here or something? Malfoy says, "I didnt do anything- he got hurt in Professors Hooch's class on the brooms."  She shook his head as she looked at me saying, "Sorry- who must you be?" "King.  Y/n King."  She nodded as her eyes looked very enthralled with me.  She said, "Really?  Wow- would you look at that..."  I felt slightly confused as she said, "Alright lets take Neville to one of the hospital beds.  And im Madam Pomfrey."  I nodded as we did exactly that.  Neville now laying on the bed, I stop using my magic- i felt static fill my mouth as i hear it before hearing, "Y/n.  Your nose..."  I looked at Malfoy confused as I heard a drip of water hit the ground below me.  I looked down to see a black- red dot on the ground, more and more dripping.  I wipe my nose as I see my hand covered in blood, I go wide eyed.  Not again..  Pomfrey quickly runs up to me as she 'spawned' towels into her hand from the other room.  "You okay y/n?  How many fingers am I holding up?"  She puts her fingers up- "This isnt necessary."  I go to walk as she let me walk away- I approached a sink seeing blood all over my mouth from under my nose.  I felt my heart racing as she follows and askes, "Does this happen frequently?  If so I can try to help you.  If its just a regular nose bleed?  Maybe a broken nose or-" "No. Just- no. Alright?"  I said cutting her off harshly.  I said, "Theres no spell or potion thatll make it go away..." "Im sure I can do something-" "Ive tried everything! Alright?!  So back off.  Were here for Neville- not me."  I finish cleaning off my mouth and nose with water as I seen her gulp looking at her reflection in the mirror as she nodded walking away.  Fuck...  I looked down as I felt my heart beat slowing down slightly, I took a deep breathe in and out just before looking back up to see Malfoy in the mirror- a look of empathy filling his face as he stared at me from behind.  I gulped, I turned around towards him as I was looking at his feet, "I totally lost it on her, didn't I?"  He chuckled softly, "Nah- you think so?"  I giggled softly and instantly felt guilt come over my face, seeing Malfoy walk up to me as I leaned back on the sink slightly.  Malfoy put his hands on my shoulders saying to reassure me, "Dont worry- I doubt she took it too personal, she deals with people like me all day so I think she'll forgive you."  I smiled as I chuckled slightly, saying, "Thanks Draco.."  He looked at me surprisingly, as I giggled again saying, "Understand it yet?" "Not a clue- but maybe one day, right?"  I felt myself caught in the moment as I said, "We should get going- Goyales probably waiting for us to return if he hasn't started his duel already."  He licked his lips as he backed away, "Yeah, if so he better have the details."  I laughed as he did, his shoulder bumping me.  As we walk out I see Madam Pomfrey going to Nevilles side as I said to Malfoy, "One sec-" "Mhmm."  He stopped as he waited for me as I walked to Madam Pomfrey saying, "Excuse me?  Madam Pomfrey was it??"  She turned as she gulped nodding, "Yes?" "I wanted to apologize...."  She looked slightly shocked as she looked at Malfoy and back at me.  I continued to say, "Its no excuse but- I believe me being overwhelmed caused me to explode on you...  and for that im sorry as you didn't do anything wrong and was just trying to help..."  she smiled as she nodded.  She smiled at us both as I went back to Malfoys side, walking out with him and back to Goyale.  Malfoy saying, "I told you- everyone probably expects you to be as troublesome as myself or the guys, you know since you hang with us.  So, dont hesitate to clear things up if it threatens who you really are- alright?"  I nodded as I thought to myself, You know- for your family being one of Voldemorts allies.  I wouldn't have expected you to take a liking when it comes to me.  Endless- his father said something to him..  I looked at Malfoy as we were walking, But I won't judge him off of things I heard or his families actions, and especially not by the way I think.  Ive ruined to many things with the way I think already..  I looked downwards as I felt stuck in my thoughts.
Back at The Quidditch Field
Y/N's POV
We approach Goyale as he was leaning against the wall by himself when we showed up, not on a broom anymore.  Malfoy approaches him as he says excited, "Yo!  Howd it go?  Who'd you get?"  I looked at Goyales face as I realized somethings wrong, I caught up as I said, "Hey Goyale- everything alright?"  Goyales face went from sadness to anger quickly saying, "No- she didnt even let me go."  I felt confused as I looked back seeing 3 students left.  They were Ravenclaw and Hufflepuffs left.  Malfoy says lost, "What?  The hell you mean she didnt let you go?" Goyale crossed his arms as he said, "She said she couldnt let me go because the other guys that are left have a problem with me-"  Malfoy says, "That bitc-"  I put my hand on his shoulder as he made eye contact with me, I shook my head as I ended up walking towards Professor Hooch.  Professor Hooch seeing me coming in hot, she says, "How may I help you?" I said, "Youre a horrible teacher." "Excuse me?"  She scoffed, I said sternly, "You. Are. A. Horrible. Teacher."  She scowled at me about to say, "Ill have you know-" cutting her off I say, "You took away Goyales teaching and learning opportunity just because they're scared to lose."  I hear a tsk to my left, making eye contact with the three students.  I rolled my eyes as I lose respect for those three.  She says, "They're afraid to get hurt Ms.King, so I can assure you-" "Hurt?  Yeah, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt after youve let almost 3 to 5 people die today-" "That is-" "Not paying attention to your students and also making sure they dont get hurt is your job.  Is it not?" "Yes, and I can assure you-" "Than their is no excuse for you to take away Goyales opportunities than is it?" She stayed quiet as she looked at the 3 students, everyone hearing me and knowing im right she nodded as she sighed, "Your right Ms.King- I apologize." "Dont apologize to me.  Im not the one your trying to steal experience and knowledge from."  She looked behind me saying, "Goyale?  Will you come up please."  Goyale approached Professor Hooch and I as she said, "I owe you an apology.  I shouldnt have belittled your experience here at Hogwarts due to others fears and conditions."  Goyale looked at me, he partly smiled saying, "Thanks."  I patted his shoulder as I nodded, walking back to Malfoys side.  Malfoy says soft enough for only me to hear, "Mm, got some fire in ya huh?"  I felt myself slightly blush, I said, "What can I say?  It was unfair."  He nodded as I leaned my back on the wall behind him, him also leaning back with me.  We watched and talked away from the class as we didn't want to be interrupted by Professor Hooch or let alone distract her again before Goyale got hurt.  Malfoy says, "Sorry about... you hearing me call her a-" "Its okay.. Ive been around people who've... done or said worse."  He looked at me with sympathy as he said, "Towards you or towards others?"  I gulped as I felt nervous, I looked at Goyale fighting his opponent.  Staying silent before I said, "Believe it or not- towards me and others..." "Where'd you grow up if you dont mind me asking?"  I scratched the back of my head, "Truth be told, I didn't really 'grow up' anywhere- I was always on the move, following behind the others that I felt may have had a clue as to what they were doing."  He nodded, "That sounds fun yet shitty at the same time."  I giggled, "It was.  I got to make many hideouts while traveling- and I had people around me.  I mean- they werent the best people, but it still felt better than being alone.  You know?" "Yeah, I feel that way sometimes with my father." I nodded, "At least their there... Dont take that too much for granted Malfoy.  Even if they arent the best parents.."  He smiled partly as he nodded, Goyale made the other guy fall off his broom.  Professor Hooch catches the fallen player as Goyale looked at us saying, "Did you guys see that!?"  Malfoy and I with huge smiles, "You did amazing Goyale!" I yelled upwards as Malfoy yells, "You kicked ass!" "Draco Malfoy!  Language!"  Professor Hooch says.  Malfoy shrugged her off not caring as Goyale flew down.  I grabbed one of his shoulders as I said, "I told you youd do great.  Start putting your confidence into your work Goyale, It'll pays off just like this."  He got off his broom as he one arm hugged me saying, "Thanks y/n, your support meant alot up there.  You too Draco."  Malfoy looked at him as he looked at Goyales arm on me.  Huh, wonder what thats about.  I heard, "Y/n?  Y/n king?" I felt confused as I turned around to see two red heads.  Fred and George..  I gulped as I took my hand off of Goyale, Goyales arm off me.  Malfoy steps ahead of me as I stayed silent, "What do you Weasleys want?"  The brothers rolled there eyes saying, "Malfoy... Look, your not in our year so back off- yeah?"  Malfoys back was infront of me, as I could just tell Malfoy didnt like that.  I gulped as I looked at Goyale, he nodded as I peaked from over Malfoys shoulder saying, "Thats my name- whats up?"  Malfoy moves to my other side as Goyale was on the other.  George asked nicely, "We would like to talk to you- in private, if thats okay?"  I looked at Malfoy and Goyale as I looked at back to the twin brothers.  I nodded, as I said to Malfoy, "Ill see you guys back at the Corridors?"  They nodded, Malfoy said, "Let me know if you need anything."  I nodded as he was walking back with Goyale, staring at the twins.  Fred puts out his hand as he says, "See youve made friends here already- the worst kind anyway."  I shook his hand as I said, "You guys could've approached me like you know me- you know?"  They shook their heads no, as George said, "No- I had to specifically tell Fred and remind him that you're trying to make it seem like noone here knows you due to your... you know."  I giggled as I nodded, "Yeah- im surprised you guys remember.  That was years ago."  Fred chuckled while hitting George saying, "Well, you should know that day broke our hearts knowing it was our last time to see you before you left."  I nodded as I opened my arms, them both coming in for a hug.  They hold me tight as I said, "I missed you guys too- you know, you two were and probably still are the only good influences ive had in my life."  They rubbed my back while letting go saying, "I mean- we weren't the greatest influences.  Im pretty sure our mother would call that as 'Teen Behavior' and everyone knows thats not a compliment."  We laughed as I heard from behind, "Ms.King?  I dont mean to interrupt but-"  I turn around to see Professor Hooch, she continued to say, "I just wanted to say Thank you, for helping today.  Even if it meant putting me down as a teacher- you helped your fellow students overcome his fear." "His fear??  What are you talking about?  Goyale doesnt fear anything."  She snickered, "This is his first year on the brooms, and you gave him the confidence that he could beat the others that are on the Quidditch team themselves.." "Wait- seriously?" The twins both nudged me from behind as they were trying to hype me up.  She nodded saying, "And he won- so I wanted to say Congratulations on being not a great student, but for doing my job.  And being a good teacher to your fellow peers."  I slightly smiled as I felt confused, I nodded saying, "Thank you, I mean- I just seen it as unfair.  Im not trying to-" "I know, and im sorry for taking your insults, as... well insults..  You were just helping your friends and myself- so thank you."  I nodded once again before she walked away.  The twins come infront of me as they said, "That sounds amazing- so even with Malfoy and Goyale, your still you huh?"  I smiled as I nodded, I said, "Believe it or not- Malfoy them like it when im myself.  They dont expect me to be like them."  They nodded as they said, "At least they aren't shitty to you- probably the only person theyll ever not be shitty too."  I laughed as that gave me slight comfort, at least that makes me feel safe within our friendship.  I dont have to worry about Malfoy trying to replace me or anything-  Fred said, "So- we were wondering... the fifth years are having a party today.  We were wondering if youd want to come?" "Wait, really?  You can do that?" "I mean, no- we cant have parties but were all sneaking out after they check the Corridors tonight.  Its like a tradition for us and we wanted you to come as you are our 'party girl' after all."  I chuckled as I said, "I am so down- so?  What do I need to do?" "Alright, this is how its going to go-"  Fred, George and I start rambling about what were going to do to sneak out and meet up before heading to the party outside of the school tonight.
