Warnings: angst, tons of fluff

You kept your eyes down as you walked by a group of Slytherins loitering in the hallway, trying to get to your next class.

And, just your luck, it was Draco Malfoy's posse.

"Hey, [Y/L/N]! Where you headed?" One of them called out. You ignored them, walking faster. You could hear the following you. "Oh, so just because your friends with Potter you think you're above us, mudblood?"

"Leave me alone," you muttered, tugging your bag farther up your shoulder.

One of them reached out and grabbed ahold of the bag's strap, yanking you backwards and forcing you to turn around.

Draco was at the back of the group, watching, but avoiding eye contact with you for some reason.

He stepped backwards as they started pushing you around.

"Come on lads, time for class. Let's stop wasting our time on her," he sneered, leading them down the hall, leaving you to pick up the spilled contents of your bag, which made you late to class.

"I just—urgh!—I hate him!" You ranted, filling your plate for lunch.

"The prick," Ron huffed, stuffing his face with chicken.

"How dare he great a girl that way!" Hermione fumed. "You need to report him!"

"It's not worth it, Hermione," you sighed. "It'd most likely only make it worse."

She humphed, knowing you were right.

"Let's get to Defense," you finally said, after a long silence. You stood from the table, gathering your books.

Your three friends walked beside you as you made your way to the third floor.

The Defense teacher had set up a mirrored wardrobe at the front of the class, which contained a boggart; a magical creature that transformed into your biggest fear. You'd seen it once in your third year, but the teacher thought it wouldn't hurt to bring it back your seventh year.

You'd watched everyone before you go, laughing as their fears turned into something humorous.

Draco was next, and you rolled your eyes as he swaggered up in front of everyone, trying to act as if he weren't afraid to face his fear.

The boggart took a moment, but it whirled and transformed into something that startled everyone.

A gasp escaped your mouth, as you processed what you were seeing.

Draco's biggest fear...was you...lying dead at his feet.

He started shaking slightly and he fell to his knees beside the boggart-you.

You slowly stepped forward, barely noticing as your classmates watched you. You stopped beside Draco, and knelt down next to him, the boggart transforming into your fear. You silently casted Riddikulus at it, but no one laughed as the professor stuffed it back in the wardrobe.

He dismissed the class, but you and Draco didn't notice. He was still staring blankly at the spot your body had been lying.

The classroom was empty by the time one of you spoke.

"Draco...why...why me? I thought you...I thought you didn't like me..."

He shook his head, a small, sad smile spreading across his face. "No, I couldn't ever dislike you, [Y/N]. Just the opposite, actually. Remember, in the Battle...that Death Eater had you cornered?"

You nodded, not exactly getting it yet. "Yeah. Someone disarmed him, and sent him flying through a window. I didn't see who..." You trailed off, looking into his silvery-grey eyes. "It was you..."

He nodded, his smile becoming less sad. "I couldn't bare...the thought of you dying, [Y/N]. Ever since then, it's been my biggest fear... I've even had nightmares, where I didn't get to you in time."

His eyes widened in surprise as you suddenly wrapped your arms tightly around him, burying your face into the side of his neck. "Thank you..." You whispered.

His arms wrapped around you, and his face nuzzled into hair, breathing in the sweet smell of your shampoo. "I love you," he breathed, thinking you wouldn't hear him.

"I love you, too."
