Metamorphmagus (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

13

After a long day in classes Draco meets me outside of the Dark Arts class.

"You sure you want to go in alone? I know this can be hard." Draco asks.

"I'll be fine. I need to ask her about what the Ministy is doing for my brother anyways. I promise I'll be careful." I kiss his cheek.

He smiles and heads towards the dungeons.

I go into the room and knock on the office door gently, "Professor, I'm... oh, you're busy. Sorry. I'll come back tomorrow..."

"Oh no. It's fine. You can show Potter here how to properly talk to your teachers." She says brightly.

"Oh... um... ok... I did have a question for you... before we start my personal lesson." I say shyly.

She honestly puts me on edge.

"Ok, what would you like to ask?" She looks pointedly at me.

"I was wondering what the Ministry was doing to solve my brothers case... I mean he was murdered... I just thought I would know by now... but it's been silent..." I say softly.

"Ah, yes. Take a seat. I see your hair changes to a washed out shade when sad. That's interesting. You'll be able to hide that soon enough. And your brother's death was a terrible accident. Potter likes to blame a dead man for the accident. What does that sound like to you?" She questions.

I look to Harry sadly, "IF he is lying about this... then he is the one to have killed Cedric... even if on accident..."

"Correct. And how do you feel about that?" She asks.

"Betrayed..." I admit.

Harry looks at me apologetically and I return the look.

I know he didn't do it. Could he have?

"Very well. Let us begin our lesson while he handles his detention." She says and leads me out the door.

We start the lesson and to my surprise, every time my emotion shows in my looks she forces me to write on a paper with her enchanted quill.

The words etch themselves into my arm slowly every time. After the "lesson" I head for my dormitory.

"Y/n! Wait. Please." Harry calls out to me. 

I stop and look to him.

"Hey, I just wanted to tell you, I didn't do it... I told him to leave..." Harry says sadly.

"I know... I thought maybe she would say they were looking into it..." I look down.

"No. They don't want to admit what happened. They think ignoring it will make it not happen." Harry says.

I nod some, "Yeah... Thanks for not being mad at me for that... I have to go..."

"Yeah... I really am sorry about Cedric. He was a good wizard." Harry says.

I smile softly at him then head to bed.

Over the next few weeks I avoid bringing up my lessons. I also become very good at hiding my emotions.

Harry has started Dumbledore's Army.

Snape has been teaching me very advanced magic and using the excuse that I'm behind in potions class to hide what we are actually doing.

Draco has, in this time, joined Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad.

Siting in the courtyard, Draco sits beside me and takes my hand in his. "I've been worried about you. You haven't been as cheerful lately..."

I wince involuntarily. Draco eyes me suspiciously then pulls up my sleeve.

"She did this to you? This is how she has taught you control..?" His eyes blaze with furry.

"Draco. Don't do anything stupid. I'm fine. She said my lessons were over. Even said I could join you on the squad... that we could be aloud to be together because I've learned so well." I look at him, smiling half heartedly, but the chance to bet together obviously has me enchanted.

We never get a chance to see eachother with how busy the school has become.

And how devided.

"It isn't worth this though, Y/n. She's broken your spirit." He says, brushing some hair behind my ear, "Have you at least got Snape to help you?"

"He has, and he has been teaching me some more advanced spells for defence and offence..." I sigh.

"At least you know the spells that can keep you safe." He whispers softly.

"Yea... can I join you?" I turn the subject back to him.

"You really want to stay by my side through this?" He asks, putting his hand on my cheek.

"I do... I promised I would and I still care about you..." I lean into his touch.

"What if... what if I told you My father is a Death Eater...?" He looks worried.
