Draco Malfoy X reader (ON HOLD!!)

Chapter 12

///////////Y/N POV //////////
"Well Y/N, you have missed some things. Like for instance-"
Hermione is cut off by a sudden tapping sound from the caldron pot on Hagrid's fire, I stand up confused and look at Hagrid.
"Um Hagrid? What's in the pot?"
He reaches in and pulls out a round object as he quickly placed it down on the table whilst making odd noises. We all gather round it as we watch the odd object on the table,
"Um Hagrid, what exactly is that?" Harry looks at Hagrid briefly as he speaks,
"That. Well That is...um."
"I know what that is! But Hagrid, how did you get one?" Ron perks up after the closer inspection of it,
"I won it! Off a stranger I met down the pub, seemed glad to be rid of it as a matter of fact."
He trails off as Ron and Harry start to lean back, I stand by Hermione and bring my head a little closer to see it when it suddenly burst open. I jump back in shock and watch a little wing stretch out as the body of a baby dragon sit where the egg used to be. I bring my hand forward and softly stroke its back as it slips on some cracked shell, Hermione looks at the shocked Hagrid and carefully speaks to him,
"Is that...a dragon?"
"That's not just a dragon, that's a Norwegian ridgeback. My brother Charlie works with them in Romania."
I look at Ron during his explanation and feel the little dragon bite my fingers, "ow!" I bring my hand back and hold my fingers to my chest.
"Yep definitely a ridgeback." I glare at it as I stroke my stinging hand, the dragon turns to Hagrid and purrs a little,
"Isn't he beautiful? Oh bless him, he knows his mummy! Hello Norbert." Hagrid strokes the dragon as Harry looks confused,
"Norbert?"
"Yeah well he's got to have a name Don't he? Don't you Norbert."
Ron shakes his head chuckling as I lean over and hit his arm a little as 'Norbert' coughs fire and sets Hagrid beard a light for a moment. I hold in my laugh as he pats it down with his mitten, "he's got to be trained up a bit of course!" He suddenly squints his eyes and looks behind us, "Who's that?" We all look to see the familiar blond Slytherin I know looking in through the window, he quickly runs away when he sees us looking at him.
"Malfoy!" Harry looks at the window annoyed as Hagrid sighs a little,
"Oh dear."
"What's he doing here?!"
"I don't know but if Malfoy's involved it can't be good Y/N."
I pout a little at that and sigh as I wave goodbye to Norbert and Hagrid as the four of us all leave and run back to the school. As were about to turn the corner, Professor McGonagall appears with Draco behind her. "Good evening." I look between the trio and see looks of panic and annoyance as McGonagall leads us to her classroom. Me, Harry, Ron and Hermione are all made to stand in front of her desk as Draco stands to the side smirking. I turn to him and glare as McGonagall stands in front of us,
"Nothing and I repeat, nothing! Gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken."
My mouth drops open in shock with Hermione's and Rons as Harry looks shocked,
"50?!"
"Each! And to insure it won't happen again, all five of you will be serving detention tonight."
"Uh I'm sorry Professor but I think you made a mistake, I believe you just all five of us?"
"Oh you hear me correctly Mr Malfoy, despite how honourable your intentions were, you were also walking round the school at night."
"Ha!"
"Y/N! This is not a bing to joke about! Now Mr Flinch will be taking you to your detention."
And right on que he appears at the doorway, we all walk out of the school and towards Hagrid's hut as Mr Flinch goes on about old punishments, I match Draco's pace and hit him on the arm.
"What are you playing at?!"
"Ow! I'm not playing at anything!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not, now be quiet we're at Hagrid's."
"No it will not be quie- OW!"
I'm cut off by Draco stamping on my foot, I wince as Flinch glares at me as we arrive I front of Hagrid who looks like he's been crying.
"Oh good god man, your not still going on about that bloody dragon are ya?!"
"Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania, to live in a colony." Hermione speaks up to calm him,
"Well that's good isn't it? He'll be with his own kind."
"Yeah but what if he don't like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby after all."
"Oh for gods sake, pull yourself together man! Your going into the forest after all. Got to have your wits about ya."
Draco instantly picks up on Flinches words,
"The forest?! I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there! Students aren't allowed, and there are...*howl* werewolves!" I roll my eyes at his wimp side as Flinch turns to him,
"Oh there's more than werewolves in those trees lad, you can be sure of that. Nighty night."
Flinch walks off as Draco looks at the forest with an uneasy look, I know I'm meant to be mad at him but he is my friend, I grab him hand secretly and give it a little squeeze as Hagrid finishes arming his crossbow. "Right, lets go." He leads us into the forest as I occasionally step over a loose root or two along the path, Fang follows by me closely, he has always been a coward. Hagrid soon comes to a mini clearing and leans down as he dips his fingers into a silver liquid, I gasp as I see it in his lanterns light, unicorn blood.
"Hagrid, What is that?"
"What we're here for Harry, see that, that's unicorn blood that it. I found one dead a few weeks ago, now this ones been hurt bad by something."
Hagrid looks briefly to his side as I see Harry staring at the same place, I look over and see nothing but dark trees as I feel Draco step a little closer to me.
"So it's our job, to go find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione you'll come with me."
"Okay." Ron makes it sound stained as Draco sneers at him, I roll my eyes and focus back on Hagrid.
"Harry, Y/N. You'll go with Malfoy."
Harry nods as Draco looks annoyed,
"Okay then I get Fang!"
"Draco you do realise that Fang is a bloody coward right?"
Fang makes a whining noise as Draco's once smug looks drops immediately. We watch Hermione, Ron and Hagrid walk in the opposite direction of us as Draco holds the lantern and Fang trails by my right side. Along the way me and Harry have been forced to listen to Draco's complaining,
"Wait till my father hears about this! This is servants stuff!"
"If I didn't know better, Draco, I'd say you was scared!" I smile at Harry for snapping back at him,
"I'm not scared Potter! Did you hear that?!"
We turn round when a low growl or howl came from the forest, I roll my eyes as Draco immediately tenses,
"Mhm not scared Draco?"
"Shut up Y/N!"
I roll my eyes and hold my hands up in surrender at him, we carry on walking as I skip ahead of the two boys as Draco calls Fang. I walk down a slight slope and stop immediately when I see a hunched over cloaked figure by the laying body of a unicorn. I feel Fang come up beside me and starts to growl,
"What is it Fang?" I hear Harry behind me as the cloaked figure raises its head partially to hiss at us, Draco screams and runs off with Fang following shortly. The figure moves round the unicorns body slowly as I back up into Harry, I grab his hand tightly as the figure raises up and we both start to back up as Draco's screams get fainter. The cloaked figure continues to walk towards us as me and Harry both trip over some fallen branches and land on our butts, we scoot back as it gets closer. It suddenly start to back up as the sounds of hooves sound from above us, something jumps over us as I shriek and grab onto Harry, a centaur rears up at the figure and it runs off as I help Harry off the floor. We approach the creature slowly as it comes out from behind the bush,
"Harry Potter you must leave! You are known to many creatures here, the forest is not safe at this time, especially for you."
"Firenze?!"
"Y/N! My dear child, what are you doing in the forest at this hour!"
"I was serving detention, how are you?"
"I am doing well for myself thank you. I still haven't forgotten your kindness from all those years ago."
I walked over and he knelt down a little so I could hug him, he holds me tightly as Harry watches with curiosity. I let go of him and stand by Harry,
"But What was that thing you saved us from?"
"A monstrous creature! It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn, drinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if your an inch from death. But at a terrible price, for you have slain something so pure that from the moment the blood touches your lips you will have a half life. A cursed life."
"But who would choose such a life?"
"Can you think of no one?"
"Do you mean to say, that, that thing that's killed the unicorn, that was drinking its blood. That was Voldemort?"
Firenze leans in close to Harry's face as he starts to talk softly,
"Do you know what hidden in the school at this very moment mister Potter?"
"The philosophers stone?" I whisper to Harry,
"Harry! Y/N!"
I turn round to see Hagrid, Draco, Ron, Hermione and Fang all gathered at the top the the mini slope as Firenze leans back and looks at them.
"Hello there Firenze, I see you've met are young Mister Potter, you Alright there Harry? Y/N?"
"We're good thanks Hagrid." I smile at him,
"Harry Potter. This is where I leave you, your safe now. Good luck."
He starts to trot away when I run after him before he can disappear, "Firenze! Wait!" He stops and bends down to my height as I throw my arms round his neck. He brings his body down and lays momentarily on the ground to wrap his arms round me, "thank you." I whisper in his ear as I let a few tear drops fall from my eyes and onto his shoulder, he pulls back and wipes the stray tear away.
"You'll be fine Y/N, he won't harm you at Hogwarts. Nor will he harm you here, now that I know of his presence."
I hug him a final time and smile at him sadly as he bows at me and runs off into the forest, I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Harry smiling at me, I smile back and he takes my hand as he pulls me up to the others. I get to Hagrid's level and he rubs my back comforting,
"Don't worry Y/N, you'll see him again."
"I hope so." I look briefly at the unicorn,
"Hagrid?"
"Yes?"
"You will...bury it right? Give it a peaceful place to rest. It was slain for something so cruel, it at least deserves to be buried with respect."
"Of course, for now though, you five will be going back to the castle to go to sleep. Detentions over."
We silently walk back and I feel Draco grabbing onto my hand as he squeezes it like I did for him before, I smile at him and walk back to Hagrid's but where he nods us goodnight and goes inside as we walk into the castle. I wave Harry, Ron and Hermione goodbye as I stay with Draco for a moment,
"So who was that in the forest?"
"Oh Firenze? An old friend that I helped once. I hope you aren't too scared from this evening Draco."
"I wasn't scared!"
"Mhm sure, night Draco."
"Night Y/N."
I run up to the Gryffindor common room and the fat lady lets me in, I walk past the trio on the sofa and call over my shoulder as I run up the stairs.
"Going to bed! Night!"
"Night Y/N!"
"Night!"
"Be up in a bit!"
I chuckle and open up the girls dorm as I change out of my robes and slip on a night dress as I snuggle into the warm duvet. I sigh in relief and let all of tonight's worries slip away as I fall into a deep sleep.

I almost had you my little serpent, don't worry though, I'll have all the time to bring you home soon after I've become myself again. See you soon...!

I jump awake at the voice in my dream, I rub my head and lean back, just a dream Y/N, just a dream. Calm down, I'm sure everything will be fine. Just a normal school year. Oh who am I kidding, knowing those three, my school year will be anything but normal.
