Chapter 38 - The Letters

Chapter 38

"So are you saying it was a Basilisk that killed her?"

Y/N nodded at her friend, "Draco and I have figured out, we were talking right here about it and he given me a clue and, and following both Ron and Harry into the Dark Forest, that giant spider had proven that our evidence was true all along."

After the Moaning Myrtle finished with the story of how she died, the two quickly rushed into a conversation and Y/N quickly explained that it was a snake that the ghost saw and what type of snake it was to the blond boy.

Nathan's mouth was agape, "King of serpents... well bloody hell. If I could have known that I could have gone bunkers!"

"Believe me," started Y/N as she pace, getting deep into her rambled thoughts, "I'm so close on being one me-self."

Watching her, Nathan begin thinking too about such monster probably hunger to have all the Muggles. "But wait; pardon me for being a curious cat right now, but really? Draco Malfoy?"

Y/N paused her back and forth journey and faced her best friend, confessing "Yes. Nathan, there's so much more than what it looks, I always tell you that."

"But he's a bully, Y/N!" argued Nathan.

"I know he is, Nate, and he will continue to be one." Y/N sighed, "I won't justify his actions or his words but I'm willing to be the one to see through them. I will be the one to remind everyone else that every bully is just someone who forgets that it's okay to need someone else, that it's okay to need a hug sometimes."

Nathan was clearly taken aback to hear that declaration, knowing just well that the girl had done this before –'And she'll continue to do it to everyone else.'

"You would know the goodness in him when you really meet him." and his face made a sour expression –thinking that if Nathan was to be any near that guy, he wouldn't be able to contain himself from punching the Slytherin –and Y/N, seeing it, softly added "Not the Draco I'm-Slytherin-and-I-hate-Mudblood-and-I'm-better-than-you Malfoy," and she was giggling at her own choice of words, "but the Draco Malfoy who came to me, wanting to help someone who's crying and to simply do what his parents bid him to do, to befriend me just because of my family."

"Wait what?" Nathan was entirely confused, having to hear the last sentence.

"He told me everything, Nathan. He's honest with me and I'm giving him that chance to make the right decision." And there was a confident tone on her voice as Y/N says it and Nathan chuckles as he shakes his head.

'Of course you'd open doors to whoever needed shelter.' And when Nathan set his eyes back to Y/N, he sees that she was waiting, patiently hoping for his approval. "Okay, okay, you do what you have to do." And there was an intense relief that crossed the Hufflepuff's face. "So, what do we do now, about this whole snake thing?"

"I think it would be safe if we back down for a moment. We still don't know who's the heir that's releasing the Basilisk out on the castle or do we know where the entrance of Salazar's chamber is and honestly, I feel too tired to even ponder or explore the castle just to search for it right now." decide Y/N.

Nathan nodded, "Well alright. It is getting late."

Y/N nodded back at him before glancing up to the ghost, "Thank you, again, Elizabeth for telling us about the past. And if you can, I would rather have this conversation only between the three of us."

Still with pursed lips, the ghost stated "No promises." before diving into the toilet, leaving Y/N and Nathan with an ear-penetrating cry.

"You know... I never knew she really had a name." whispered the blond, staring at the cubicle where the ghost had disappeared to.
