Yay finally one for Corbyn!
I slump my head onto another library book as I slide the next one to the side mad that it didn't have the information I needed. I grumble as I open the book and start reading the 657 page book. Normally Hermione would be the one researching this stuff but she was recently petrified and I couldn't deal with my little sister being hurt so I kind of joined Harry and Ron's gang to help out with finding out what happened. I'm 17 and even though Hermione is younger than me she definitely knows her stuff and can blaze through this stuff. I then hear all the candles being blown out in a single rush of wind through the library. I then suddenly feel goosebumps throughout my entire body as I hear a loud thump.
"Lumos." I chant. "W-who is that?" I stutter trying to sound brave. I then hear another thump behind me as I spot bleached blonde hair as I know who it is. Draco.
"Locomotor!" I chant as I hear a unfamiliar grunt as whoever it is is pinned against the wall.
I walk over closer as wand lights up the unfamiliar person.
"W-who are you? And w-what are you doing here." I stutter as I see a boy with blond swifted up hair, an intense jawline and blue eyes. Not to mention his cute little button nose.
"I-I'm Corbyn, Corbyn Besson." He says as I notice an American accent escape his mouth. "I promise I wasn't gonna hurt you, I just got locked inside the library because it's closed and thought you did it, whoever you are." I sighed out of relief as I let him go and I brushed the dirt off his Ravenclaw sweater.
"Oh my, I do apologize really. I just thought you were Draco playing another prank on me." I said as I let out a small laugh.
"Oh, I'm here here just to do some extra studying." He laughed.
"Your American?" I asked he nodded.
"Yeah, hey do you know when or if we're gonna ever get outta here?" He asked.
I sighed and looked around. I walked over to the library door as he followed me and tried opening it.
"I guess we're locked in here." Corbyn sighed.
"We could go through the forbidden section but I'm sure it's locked by now." I sigh.
"Yeah we might as well make ourselves comfortable."
"Y-you can, I should probably get back to work." I said walked over back to my makeshift workspace. I took a seat as I started reading.
"Whatcha working on?" He asked.
"Well, I'm trying to figure out what made all those students petrified." I said passing the book back over to him so Corbyn could take a peak.
"Oh, wait your (Y/N), Granger." He said shocked.
"Yep, and as Draco would say, 'another mudblood'." I sigh.
"Hey,hey Draco's just an immature douche who can't take a punch." Corbyn said rubbing my back. I let out a dry laugh.
"T-thanks, your vocabulary really is American." I laughed. He did too.
"Now shall we get to work?" He asked pulling out another book.
"You sure you wanna help me?" I asked. He gave me an empathetic smile.
"100% Colin (one of the guys that got petrified) was my friend and you seem like you need all the help you can get." Corbyn laughs. To be honest because of the whole situation I was really emotionally unstable because Hermione wasn't here to help me through this like she usually does. I smiled at him and I gave him a hug as he reacted a little shocked but hugged me back.
"Are you sniffing my hair?" I laugh still engulfed in the hug.
"Huh, er no." He said letting go of the hug.
I laugh as he joins in and I take out my quill.
"We're gonna be good freinds Corbyn." I said.
"Yes we are." He said trying to imitate my accent.
"Now lets get started." I say trying to imitate his accent as he laughs when I fail miserably.

We're now 2 hours into reading and connected some dots. (I won't say what so I don't spoil for you.) I got to know him more and he's pretty cute to be honest. We then hear the sound of something slithering.
"Um, Corbyn what was t-that?" I stutter as I scoot closer to him as he does the same.
"Oh it was probably the wind (Y/N)." Corbyn said reassuring me. We then see a large green thing slither across the end of the library to a little corner far from us.
"I-is that a b-basilisk?" I said frightened. Corbyn nodded as we looked at each other in fear. A basilisk is like a large snake, MUCH larger than an anaconda.
"Stay quiet, it's hearing is amazing and don't look at its eyes, you'll instantly die." Corbyn whispered.
"What." I whisper shouted. He covered my mouth as we grabbed our wands and made a run towards the librarians desk as the Basilisk slithers where we were before.
"What the hell are you doing Corbyn!" I whisper shout again as he rummages quietly through the drawers of the desk.
"I used to help with being a library assistant, and let's say, you get to learn a lot of secrets." Corbyn says as he grabs a key.
"Got it, follow me!" He whispered as I'm confused but I still follow him.
We run over to a display case of a limited edition nimbus 2000. He uses the key to open it. I mean I'm a rule follower and would never steal a broom but considering I may die, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
I then the basilisk coming our way, I think as as I grab a book and throw it to the other side of the library as it turns away towards the noise.
"Nice thinking (Y/N). Your gorgeous and smart?" He said as the comment made me blush. He took out the broom and we ran out to the open window.
"Ready?" Corbyn asks. I nod. He gets on the broom as I stand up on the open window about to hop on, until.
"AHHH." I Scream as I feel a tug and bite on my left ankle. Corbyn keeps eye-contact with me as he pulls me into the broom as we're now on together.
He flies us onto the roof of the castle as we sit down. He carries my and lays me down on the tilted rocky surface. He takes off my shoe as he inspects the wound.
"It has slight poison but madame pomfrey should fix it in no time." I'm still unspeakable as I'm in complete shock.
"I-Uh-I, Thankyou Corbyn." I say as I have him a big hug and a silent tear rolls down my face.
"I was so scared." I said. "I thought I was gonna die."
"Oh, (Y/N), you'll always be safe with me. I promise." He said as he let go cupping my face. I mouth Thankyou as he leans into a kiss as I do too.
I feel fireworks through my stomach as this was my first kiss. The kiss made me forget about the pain and poison, my grieving for my sister, it made me feel happy.
He made me feel happy.
