Living A Lie (A Harry Potter Fanfic)

Chapter 1

I was fast asleep in my room until I heard a weird thud followed by a knock. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around confused.

Then I looked towards the door to my balcony and there was a person that I'd never seen before standing outside on my balcony.

He continued to knock and I wasn't sure if I should just pretend to not see him or go interact with this stranger.

I got up from my bed and walked towards this stranger standing outside. I opened up the door to my balcony and once I got a good look at him, I noticed he was pretty handsome. He had sleek blonde hair and this smirk plastered on his face.

"Can I help you?" I asked nervously.

"Hi, are you Molly?" he asked.

"Yes, I am...why do you want to know?" I asked suspiciously.

"This may seem weird but we need to talk. It's kinda cold out here, mind if I come in?" the blonde boy said.

"Wait, hold on. I'm not gonna just let a stranger into my room." I said.

"Yes, I understand this is weird, a stranger just showing up on your balcony. My name is Draco Malfoy. I mean you no harm. I'm here to tell you some very important information," he said looking serious.

"Okay, fine you can come in. This better not be some stupid prank," I said letting him into my room.

He followed me into my room, sat down on my bed, and patted the spot next to him, wanting me to sit next to him.

I sighed and sat down next to him. "Okay, I'm listening and please, keep your voice down. If my mom knew I had a strange boy in my room she would flip," I said.

He laughed and smirked at me.

"Have you heard of a place called Hogwarts?" he asked.

"Yes, my mom has told me loads of stories about a magical school called Hogwarts," I said.

"Actually, I just came from there and-"

I cut him off by laughing. "Haha that's a good one! My mom would always tell me about how it's just a made-up place that parents tell their kids about before they go to sleep. Ever since my mom told me about Hogwarts for the first time, I've dreamed of what it would be like if I could attend, so don't you dare mess with me," I said as I got up and walked over to look outside.

He got up and walked to me. "Hold on. Your mom's been telling you that Hogwarts doesn't exist?" he asked.

"Yes, she has," I said still looking out the window.

"You have to believe when I say Hogwarts is real. The Headmaster sent me to bring you to Hogwarts. Consider me your Hogwarts letter," Draco said while smirking once again.

I turned around in disbelief. "So, you're telling me that the place I've been dreaming about since I was little is real and I could go there right now?" I asked full of hope.

"Yes, all you have to do is take my hand and we can go there right now," he said putting his hand out.

"I can't believe I'm doing this but I've got nothing to lose so why not?" I said and took his hand.

Once I took his hand, he yelled "Accio broom!" Which was interesting. Then out of nowhere, a broom flew through the open door to my balcony. "Woah. We're gonna fly there?" I said surprised.

"Yep! Hop on," he said as he got on the broom.

"I'm kinda afraid of heights," I said looking at the ground.

"Don't worry Molly, I won't let you fall," he said comfortingly.

I hop on a little shaky.

"Alright, hold on tight," he said.

I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and held on for dear life. I kind of enjoyed holding on to him; it was comforting.

We took off and it was insane. It was terrifying and amazing at the same time. I mean I'm literally flying on a broomstick while holding on tight to the waist of this handsome blonde boy that showed up on my balcony. I'm still in my pajamas.

"This is absolutely insane," I yelled over the sounds of the wind rushing past us.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" he yelled back.

Once we were flying for a while, I started to see something come into view. It was the beautiful Hogwarts castle. The sight of the castle was absolutely breathtaking. I was in so much shock I almost let go of Draco's waist.

"Oh my gosh, it's even more beautiful than I imagined," I said in awe.

"I told you it was real," he said, but I was too busy admiring the castle to care that he just had an 'I told you so' moment.

We started to slow down and get closer to land. I kind of didn't want to let go of Draco; being next to him was very comforting. All my life, I've been lonely with no one to keep me company. My dad was never around, because he was always working. And my mom was always busy with chores or errands, so she never had time to take care of me. Sometimes, I wouldn't even know if she left the house. I would just go looking for her and she wasn't home.

It was surprisingly a smooth landing. I let go of Draco even though I really didn't want to, and we both got off of the broom.

We started to head toward the castle, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Draco, I'm scared. What if Hogwarts isn't everything I dreamed it would be? What if I don't make any friends? What if-"

Draco cut me off by saying "Molly, it's gonna be okay. I promise."

Then he touched his lips to mine in a gentle kiss. It was wonderful. I had never been kissed before and I just wanted to stay in this moment.

But, the kiss ended too soon. Draco smiled softly at me. And I smiled back.

He grabbed my hand so our fingers were intertwined and we headed to the castle hand in hand.

The door to the castle was so big, standing in front of it made me feel so small.

The door opened and the inside of the castle was beautiful. I wondered what time it was because the castle was empty, except for a woman who looked like a nurse coming towards us.

"Draco, who is this? I've never seen her before," the lady said.

"Madam Pomfrey, this is Molly. Professor Dumbledore sent me to bring her here," Draco said.

"It's nice to meet you, Molly! Maybe I know your parents. What's your last name?" Madam Pomfrey asked me.

I let out a nervous laugh. "Actually my parents never told me my last name," I said embarrassed.

"Oh dear, come with me," she said and started walking up the amazing staircase.

Draco and I followed as Madam Pomfrey headed toward a room that looked like a hospital.

"I'm just going to run some blood tests if you don't mind. Go ahead and sit on one of the beds," Madam Pomfrey said and gestured to the many beds.

While Draco and I were waiting for her to come back with the test results, we were both sitting on one of the beds and I rested my head on his shoulder. I know I don't really know this boy but somehow, I feel the need to be close to him. Even if I did just meet him.

"So, how was your first glimpse into the castle?" Draco asked.

"It was absolutely amazing. Everything I dreamed it would be and more," I said in awe.

Madam Pomfrey came through the door and ruined our moment. She rushed over to the bed Draco and I were sitting at. Looking very frantic as she came towards us.

"Okay Molly, I ran the tests and it seems that you're a Weasley."
