Metamorphmagus (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

5

After everyone gets settled in their dorms and a good nights sleep, classes start.

On the way to my first class I see our new professor, Mad eye Moody, slinging around a white ferret. The way everyone looks horrified and the people around him, I know it is my Draco.

I run up and shout, pointing my wand at Moody, "Petrificus Totalus!"

Everyone looks up stunned as I catch Draco before he falls to the ground.

He looks up at me, and I swear he smiles with his little ferret mouth, though his eyes show he is clearly shaken up.

Then Professor McGonall comes up, "Why is Professor Moody frozen? And why do you have a ferret?"

"It's Draco... Moody did this... he was slinging Draco around. So I froze him..." I look down. In retrospect, petrifying my teacher isn't a good idea.

"Put him down. I'll change him back." McGonall says in an exhausted tone.

I put him down and she turns Draco back to himself. He is very disoriented and obviously furious.

Harry and his trio laugh as Draco runs off. I shoot them a look.

McGonall then undoes my spell on Moody, who glares at me.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't let you do that to Draco..." I mumble.

"You are fine dear. Go to class. As for you Professor Moody. I'm sure you were..." McGonall starts to lecture Moody, I just chase after Draco, who ran off yelling about telling his father.

"Are you okay..?" I ask softly.

"Yes. But he will loose his job for that." Draco fumes.

"He will be punished. That's for sure." I confirm.

"Thanks by the way." He says and smiles at me.

"Of course... I should get to class..." I smile shyly.

The first class is easy. Care of Magical Creatures.

I've know this stuff for a long time.

Then Defence against the Dark Arts.

I am determined to learn how to defend myself more then ever now. To not hesitate and not be afraid.

"Y/n?" I stop when you hear Hermoine. 

"Yes?" I look over to her.

"You get confused? This block is Gryffindor and Slytherin. I heard they are trying to do this class based on the..." She starts.

I interrupt her politely as possible, "Personality types. I know. And Hufflepuff are less of a outspoken type compared to you. I signed up for personal training after what happened over summer with Professor McGonall. Hufflepuff class time was her only free period."

"That is a smart move. You're braver then you believe." She squeezes my arm supportively.

"Thanks..." I smile at her.

We walk into the class and take our seats.

When I sit down I notice, I'm directly across from Draco. He smirks slightly to me then goes back to his conversation.

Professor Moody comes in and introduces the class his idea of teaching.

Then he asks about the three unforgivable curses. I try to hide my uneasy, but I know I fail. And he definitely recognizes me from the courtyard.

After Ron and Neville announce the first two and they are demonstrated, he asks for the last one. Draco is clearly worked up from the spider being on his face.

"Ah! Miss Diggory.  You must be aware of this after your summer. What's the last one?" He turns his attention to me.

"It... it's the killing curse..." I look down.

"And it was?" He questions.

"I don't want to say it sir. This one really should not be in the class. You can't even deflect it..." I mumble.

"To lose the fear of something you need to face it, Miss Diggory. What is it?" He pressures.

I bite my lip nervously then mumble out, "Avada Kedavra..."

"Yes!" He smiles and drops the spider on my desk.

I look at it, then up to him. "Please... sir... don't...."

Then he does it. I sit, stunned in my seat. 

"What if you had missed and hit her?!" Draco shoots from his seat.

"I have the ability to control my spells, Malfoy. She was not in danger. Right Miss Diggory?" He looks to me and pauses.  "Y/n Diggory?"

"It was defenseless... Why would you do that to something defenceless!?" I look up at him with pure disdain.

He looks shocked by my response then comments, "You really don't thing people who will use that curse will care about defence capabilities, do you?"

I look down, knowing he is right.

"Right. Now let's go over the history of the curses." Moody announces. 

I look back to the spider on my desk and realize that I can't do this.

I get up, silencing the class suddenly and leave, heading down the stairwell.
