cathect -- draco x cedric x reader

one.

1st year

"lilith? lilith?" hermione calls out as you open your eyes, the rays of sunlight hitting your face "we're almost there, i thought you'd want me to wake you up." 

"thanks." you smile, you're on the train to hogwarts. and you're more than glad to be entering your first year with your childhood bestfriend, draco.

"have you seen draco?" you ask. 

"draco? who's that?" ron says, seated infront of you. you only met these people a few hours ago because draco was dropped of hogsmeade early, resulting in you being forced to join random people.

"oh, he's my friend. blonde hair. no?" you replied with a smile. suddenly the cart door opens, revealing the person you just described.

"lily, there you are. come on now. we should-" you cut him off. "draco, meet my friends!" 

he looks at the people you're seated with. "what... how-"

"if you weren't such a loser and asked narcissa and lucius to wait for me we would have been in the same cart together." you stare at him

he puffs his jacket, "im malfoy, draco malfoy." he holds out his hand to which they hesitantly shake. 

"im harry.. harry potter" harry introduces himself.

"the famous harry potter?" draco says to which harry returned with a slight nod. "and you... red hair, hand-me-down robe? you must be a weasley." ron rolls his eyes.

draco shifts his eyes to hermione, who was sitting next to you. "and?"

"hermione granger." she says

"granger? i haven't heard of that name. you must be a m-"

you cut him off, "anyways!"

draco smiles sheepishly "im sorry, but lilith has to go now." 

"ill see you guys at hogwarts." you smile at hermione, ron and harry before draco pulls you out of their cart. "are you out of your mind! i came here wanting nothing to do with my family history and you try to sabotage my first friends!"

"im the only friend you will ever need here, lily." you roll your eyes. lily was the nickname draco gave you when you were kids, because according to him the "th" at the end of your name was too hard to pronounce back then. you and draco have been friends due to your families connections, so you've grown to accept him and his big ego.

"come on, lets go to hogwarts together. are you excited?" he asks

"kind of. im scared of what they'll think of me." you reply, combing your long black hair with your fingers showing you were anxious.

"of course they'll talk about you. after all, your last name is riddle which basically gives it away." he says as he carries your bags for you. "you can't make them love you, but you can make them fear you."

you punch him on the shoulder as he gives you a chuckle.

time skip

everyone was settled down and has been called to the grand hall for the sorting of houses. of course you were walking with draco on the way.

"do you think i'd get slytherin?" you ask him

"without a doubt. your blood is basically slytherin." 

the sorting of hats soon started and hermione stood beside you

"i dont like that malfoy boy, why are you even friends with someone like him?" she whispers as you laugh. "we've been friends since we could barely talk. it's fine." you smile at her.

"what house are you aiming for?" hermione asks

"slytherin, i guess."

her eyes widened. "slytherin? why?" 

"um." you chuckle nervously "just because"

"well, interesting choice. im up next, i hope i get gryffindor. wish me luck." she smiles at you

"just because?" draco asks in disbelief. "you're a RIDDLE. be proud."

"how can i be proud, draco? he's literally called the dark lord." you roll your eyes at him.

while everyone rejoices at the sight of harry being a gryffindor... 

"lilith riddle." proffesor mc gonagall calls

the whole room turns silent as they all stare at you. you hear draco's muffled laugh as he tries to keep quiet.

you walk to the center as you look at professor mcgonagall. "sit down, ms. riddle."

you can feel everyones stares pierce through your skin. 

"slytherin!"

the slytherin table cheers, the name "riddle" often echoed through their ears. so it wasn't a surprise to see how everyone reacted.

you looked at draco who was clapping loudly. "i told you" he mouthed as you walk to your seat.
