Vulnerable Hearts ~Draco Malfoy X Reader~

Eat Slugs

You smiled as you arrived inside of Hogwarts, Dumbledore went through his speech telling the first years the restricted areas before you were free to go to the common room. On the train you did see something weird however. A flying blue car. "Hey Jasmine, what do you think about that car we saw?" You asked your friend who was brushing her hair. "It was enchanted. I will admit it was kinda unusual." Jasmine smiled as you sat down on your bed. "How do you feel now that your back, without having to worry about Voldemort and professor Quirrell?" You smiled happily as you stretched. "I doubt it's completely without Voldemort but it is more relaxing." Jasmine laughed a little before laying down getting ready to sleep.

The next morning you heard that apparently it was Harry and Ron who were in. You walked to class with Jasmine and Harley quickly talking about it especially once you three saw Harry and Ron. "{Y/N}, looks like they got away with it too." Jasmine whispered to you before you were pulled over to Draco, looking at Harley you noticed her smirking at you. Immediately you shot her your 'Say anything and you're dead look' before Mrs Sprout walked in. "Good morning everyone!" Not getting any attention she tapped something and repeated herself getting a chorus of good mornings back. "Welcome to greenhouse trees seconds years! Now gather round everyone, today we are going to re-pot mandrakes. Who here can tell me the properties of the mandrake root?" Immediately Hermione's hand was up rolling your eyes you looked at the pot in front of you. "Yes, Miss Granger?"

"Mandrake or mandragora, is used to return those who've been petrified to there original state." You looked over at Jasmine who was pretending to be asleep while Harley impatiently waited until she could see the mandrake. "It's also quiet dangerous, the mandrakes cry's fatal to anyone who hears it." You poked Draco on the shoulder before standing on your tippy toes. "Bet you Longbottom will vomit or something like that." Draco smiled casting a look at Neville. "Probably start crying." You grinned and nodded, looks like your friendliness is starting to wear off the longer you hang around Draco. "Excellent. Ten points to Gryffindor." You huffed not surprised they got immediate points. "Now as our mandrakes are still only seedlings their cry's won't kill you yet, but they could knock you out for several hours. That is why I've given each of you a pair of earmuffs for protection." You picked up the earmuffs looking at them before putting them on as Mrs Sprout instructed. "Flaps tight down, and watch me closely. You grasp your mandrake firmly, you pull it sharp out of the pot, got it? And, now you dunk it down in the other pot and pour a little sprinklet of spoil to keep him warm." You smiled and high fived Draco as Neville fainted. "Ah, Neville's been neglecting his earmuffs."

"No ma'am, he's just fainted." You laughed quickly hearing that immediately sharing another high five with Draco. "Yes, well, just leave him there. Right on we go. Plenty of pots to go around." Mrs Sprout started instructing the students through the process, you looked down at the mandrake after you had successfully pulled it out. "I wouldn't do that Draco." You whispered as be put his finger in the mouth of the mandrake which immediately latched on, trying not to laugh you put your mandrake in the new pot and covered with soil.

The rest of the day went on without any fuss, except when you had to threaten Harley into shutting up about who she likes. She didn't seem to realise Draco was walking in front of you when she almost blurted out about you liking him. As it turns out Harley hates Ron but has a crush on Fred, after teasing Harley for a bit you tried to figure out who Jasmine likes. "You two keep trying and both those boys will know everything." With that threat out in the open you and Harley backed off. Now you were currently seated in the great hall next to Jasmine and Draco. "{Y/N}, oh my god! It looks like Ron Weasley has a howler." Everyone started laughing and you couldn't help but join in. "God, I feel sorry for Ron. Those things are terrible." Jasmine whispered before watched the Gryffindor table. You were that interested in the howler but it was so loud you heard everything. "That must have been mortifying." You said to Jasmine smiling a little.
