Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Two

Chapter twenty two - Not You Too

Y/n pov

You notice Bay and Alli aren't back yet. Maybe they got hurt practicing Quidditch Alli has been Helping Bay so that she could get on the team. That's it. It has to be.

You get dressed for the day; you'd be going to see Hermione as she's getting out today. You meet up with Ron and Harry who are already there.

They talked about what Tom showed Harry, but you couldn't help but notice to new medical beds covered so you couldn't see... More petrified? You thought... but who...?

"When were those added?" You ask facing the new curtains.

"Last night." Hermione said softly. Why is she speaking so soft?

"So, you know who it is?" You ask turning to her she nods, but doesn't move to say anything. You take a step towards the and Hermione leans forward from her bed.

"Y/n you shouldn't go near there." Hermione warns.

"Why?" You ask. Your heart starting to get worried. It must be someone you recognize then.

"I just think it isn't a good idea." Hermione states sitting up fully, worrying you.

"Hermione... Tell me it's not who I think?" You say your head getting heavy with dread.

"..." Hermione stays silent.  You turn your head away quickly and get ready for what you might see. You hear Hermione scrabbling off her bed to stop you.
You take a deep breath and pull open the new sheets and stare in horror at what you see. Bay and Alli both lying there Petrified.

"No...No... not you two." You beg tears welling up in your eyes. No... this has to just be a nightmare.

"Y/n... I'm so sorry."  Hermione softly says as you stand there paralyzed.

"I didn't even look for them. I just worried, I just assumed they were fine." You reveal to the trio, who watched your body language grow tense and your hands shift into fists.

"Y/n it's not your fault." Ron told you.

"How is it not my fault!? Everyone thinks I'm the Heir, when I find the real one, they'll pay." You snap back. They don't take it personally seeing as you're just upset.

"Y/n. I'm so sorry." Harry comforts. You hold your friends hands, feeling them cool and solid.

"Alli... I'm so sorry... Bay... I swear I'll find what or whoever did this to you and make them regret it." You vowed.

"Y/n we should just ask around see if you can hear anything about the Heir that doesn't involve you or Harry." Hermione suggested as you took a step back facing your two friends.

"I will." You tell her without looking.

"Y/n, I know this must be hard." Hermione started.

"You know?" You stop her.

"I-I didn't mean-" You cut her off.

"You know?!" You shout. Looking at the trio.

"How could you possibly know what it's like to have my friends, the people I get to see everyday... Like this. In a state where I can't see them smile everyday, I can't help them and I have to watch them knowing I did nothing to look for them." You explain as tears start to roll down your cheeks.
