Snakes With Money (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 2

Year One

You walked briskly down the halls, tears blurring your vision, in search of a girl's lavatory. The pee had soaked most of your pants, and the warm feeling was turning into a cold wetness. You were so disgusted and embarrassed with yourself.

Footsteps started echoing behind you and you finally got the courage to turn around and face whoever might try to make fun of you personally. When you turned your head, however, you saw a stout professor, short and kind-faced, huffing towards you. After she gave you a tired smile, you slowed and waited for her, quickly whisking away the tears marching down your rosy cheeks.

"Don't be upset, dear, things like this happen sometimes," The professor offered, lightening her expression to make sure you knew you were accepted by her.

You sniffled a little, feeling awkward and uncomfortable with the liquid on your legs.

"Wh-where's the closest lavatory?" You croaked as your body trembled in a slight state of shock.

"Ah, right this way, my dear. I am Madam Pomfrey, by the way, head of the Hufflepuff house." She wrapped her right arm and your shoulder and rubbed it in a show of care as she lead you down the hallway and to the right.

"Oh, well, it is nice to meet you Madam Pomfrey. Thank you," You gave her a weak smile. All you wanted were fresh robes and a bath.

Madam Pomfrey stopped at the entrance, "You will find a bathing area in there. Get clean and I'll send in some fresh robes for you."

You muttered another 'thank you' as she sped off to get you new robes. Once inside, you quickly stripped and started the water, wanting to get clean and dressed as soon as possible. 

Just as you finished cleaning, a towel and your new robes seemed to drift over to you and levitate just at the bath's edge.

"I love magic," You grinned as you dried and dressed. As soon as you were fully clothed, you stepped in front of the mirror at one of the sinks. You smiled, the robes had a Hufflepuff symbol on them now.

Madam Pomfrey's voice sounded from the entrance, "When you are finished, come back to the Great Hall, please."

Your face contorted into a look of horror. You had to walk back in?! After being the laugh of the night, and perhaps the next year, you had to reappear?! Dread pitted at the bottom of your stomach and you started to feel nauseous.

After a moment of no reply from you, Madam Pomfrey politely proposed that she accompany you into the great hall. You took a deep breath in and closed your eyes, then exhaled and walked towards Professor Pomfrey. 

When you reached the lavatory entrance, though, there was no Pomfrey in sight. You frowned, maybe she left. Just as you started to trudge your way to the Great Hall, a figure rose up in your peripheral vision. You whipped your eyes over to the movement right as Madam Pomfrey  fully stood. You knotted your eyebrows in a slight show of offense. She really thought it would take you so long to come out that it'd be a wise idea to sit on the castle floor?

"Right bit of courage you must have then, with your willingness to face further humiliation and all. That sorting hat sure was right," Madam Pomfrey's eyes twinkled, "It is an honor to have another Hufflepuff with such upstanding qualities."
