The whole class piled into the huge Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, causing you to get shoved by a Slytherin several times. "Hey watch it, Y/H/N!" Pansy screeched at you when you accidentally stood on her foot. You hated Pansy with a deep passion, and she hated you too, especially considering you're dating the prince of Slytherin himself, Draco Malfoy. 

He'd seemed off lately and you had no idea why. He'd been spending a lot more time with his father and he hated Harry more than ever. You'd been worried about him. What if he was getting into something dangerous? What if he was in something a lot deeper than anything he'd ever experienced? If he was engaged in dark magic? Draco was the only person you cared about on this earth, you loved him.

You found Draco and intertwined your hand with his, him giving you a reassuring smile. You knew what this lesson was going to be on, Professor Lupin had told the class last lesson that you'd be working with Boggarts and the thought terrified you - you didn't want the whole year finding out your biggest fear. You'd poured your heart out to Draco the night before, and he'd been there for you. It was one of the first times since the beginning of the year the two of you had had some alone time. You'd even considered purchasing some of the Weasley's puking pastilles for an excuse to skip this class, but Draco didn't let you. Yet here you stood, waiting in line to face your worst fear. The time Professor Lupin spent preparing the whole class seemed like seconds, yet everyone was now excited to see what this lesson would entail.

Somehow, you'd been pushed to third in the line and the two people in front of you's turn seemed to be over before you'd even had the chance to blink. It was your turn. You slowly stepped forward, each step shaky and unsure. You quickly looked behind you, the eyes of all of your peers boring into your face, every single person pushing to get a look at what would emerge from the huge wooden wardrobe.

"You remember what to do, correct, Y/N?" Professor Lupin asked, concern covering his face. You slowly nodded, not wanting to say anything in case your voice broke. You swallowed your fear and signalled for Professor Lupin to unlock the closet. The tension within the class was unbearable. Everyone wanted to see what Y/N, the girlfriend of Draco Malfoy feared most. 

But nothing could've prepared you for what would step out. You expected spiders, zombies, Jason Vorhees or maybe even a psychotic killer to step out. The whole class gasped when Draco stepped out. You felt your cheeks flush red when you realised this was your biggest fear, and you couldn't stop it. 

He pulled off the huge black hood covering him, revealing a silver mask with snake-like slits for eyes, a bold, black dark mark taking over his forearm. You knew, somewhere deep within you that this would happen. A dark part of you felt angry, yet you knew that this was a Boggart, and not Draco. Draco belonged one of the most prestigious families within the dark magic community and knew he wasn't immune to the idea of being a death eater. You broke out into a series of sobs, unable to contain yourself. 

Noticing you couldn't muster up enough courage to cast the spell through shock, Draco pushes you aside, the Boggart immediately turning into you, laying lifeless on the floor. With a shaky voice, he yells, "Riddikulus!" and it turns into a kitten. 

What just happened? Draco looks at you with hurt in his eyes. "Your worst fear is me as a death eater?" You were embarrassed. He's for sure going to break up with you now, now that you've embarrassed him in front of the whole class and practically confessed your biggest fear was him.

You slowly nod your head, still aware that the whole class are still listening, even Professor Lupin's interested to hear more. "That's ridiculous. You know I'd never do that, Y/N. I used to think I wanted to follow my father's footsteps, but not anymore."

"Then why have you been spending more time with him?" You ask, tears freely flowing down your face. You haven't even had time to process Draco's biggest fear, which turned out to be you, dead. 

Draco asks to be excused, and Lupin allows it, ushering Dean Thomas to take his turn as he was behind you in the line. You follow Draco outside into the hallway, your eyes still red and your heart still thumping a million times per minute. "I've been spending more time with him because he's tutoring me, he's helping me with lessons." Draco mumbles. You suddenly feel so stupid - how could Draco possibly be a death eater? You knew he was better than that, he was changing. You smile. 

"But what about your biggest fear? You're seriously scared of losing me?" You ask, staring into his hypnotic eyes. He bows his head.

"You're the only person in this world I care about. I know I've been spending less time with you lately, but that does not mean I don't care about you anymore. Besides, you're the one that's afraid of me becoming a death eater!" Draco replies, smiling as he wipes my remaining tears away with his thumb.

"I suppose." You reply. You fall into Draco's arms and he leans down and kisses your forehead.

"I love you, Y/N, you git." He mumbles, his arms tightening around your body
