Trigger Warning: Physical Abuse
Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. You heard the whispers all around, but this wasn't good news. As a proud Slytherin, the only child of Walt and Sandra Fahron. You graduated Hogwarts 5 years ago. And your family was trusted with the most terrible secrets. But even within the deatheaters, everyone has their secrets. Currently you were with young Draco Malfoy in Diagon Alley heading to Gringotts.
When you were inside, instead of being met by a goblin, you were met by an extremely familiar red-headed wizard. Draco scrunched up his nose in distaste. "Well, well. If it isn't Fahron. I haven't seen you in 5 years."
"Weasley." You nodded curtly. "We are here to open the vault of Draco Malfoy."
"Okay, let's go."
"Don't you need some kind of proof that we're really us?" You asked, walking with Draco behind Bill.
Bill turned around and looked you over, you shifted around on your feet. If you remembered correctly, in the last year of Hogwarts, Bill had confessed his feelings for you, you had never really noticed. But you knew as the "heir" to the Fahron family legend you could never date a Gryffindor. Let alone a blood traitor.
"No one could ever disguise as you Fahron." He said.
"But we are opening Draco's vault." You said.
Bill rolled his eyes and began walking again. "And do you want to get there before next year?" He asked sarcastically.
You rolled your eyes in return, unfolding your arms to reach out for Draco's small hand. "I don't need to hold your hand." He said taking it anyways. You smirked at the small boy, the closest thing you'd ever have to a brother.

"Farewell Fahron, Malfoy." Bill waved you off.
"Bye Weasley." You said.
"Oh and Fahron?" He asked making you turn at the exit to Gringotts.
You raised your eyebrows, "If you ever need anything I'll be here." He said with a small smile.
You nodded without a word and walked out.

5 years later
The news was out that The Dark Lord was back. You knew this of course but looking at the Daily Prophet, you saw that Harry Potter was spreading the news.
This would be predictable except...Potter should be dead. You scratched your left forearm nervously awaiting it to start burning for the call as it did that night...
You saw his face every night in your dreams, the young man the one you had to kill. You remember it so vividly you even remember the name that Potter had screamed when The Dark Lord had ordered you to kill him to prove your loyalty. You did and as soon as you did you began being haunted by it. Cedric Diggory.
I sat alone with Draco in the study away from our parents who were carefully discussing The Dark Lord's next move. Poor Draco, you were 26 and you were freaked out by all this stuff. You couldn't imagine what the poor 15 year old boy across from you could be feeling. Although he wasn't yet burdened with the mark, you knew he would be someday. Probably someday soon.
"Y/n?" Draco looked up finally and you looked at him trying to force a comforting smile but failing.
You sighed, "What is it Draco?"
"D-do you think that he'll kill us?" Draco asked and for the first time you noticed hands shaking.
You went to sit beside him and put a tentative hand on his shoulder, he winced. "Draco...are you alright?"
Draco stood up, dusting himself off, "I'm fine."
You stood up as well and followed him out, "Draco where are you going?"
"Bathroom." He said.
You walked faster to catch up but so did he and out of impulse you reached out and grabbed his left arm.
"Ow!" Draco yipped, wincing.
"I am so sorry." You said withdrawing your hand from his upper arm. When you looked at your arm you saw blood on it. You gasped. Draco looked around quickly before taking your hand and pull you into the pantry.
"You can't tell anyone I showed you this. But I know you won't leave me alone." He sighed and took off his black jacket to reveal his green and white striped t-shirt. All down his left sleeve was blood. He gently rolled up his sleeve to show a long jagged scar from his shoulder to his elbow, and it was bleeding out. It seemed fresh...
"Oh my God! Draco!" Draco grabbed your arm and you resisted wincing just as hard as he had.
You removed yourself from his arm to grab a bandage from the shelf. You walked over to him. "Draco...." you said lightly after you'd gotten him to sit on the table in the middle of the room so you could bandage his arm.
"Y/n I can't tell you who did this." Draco said.
You looked into his pained grey eyes and he suddenly looked a lot older. You went back to bandaging and cleaning his wound. "Lucius." You muttered.
Draco's silence was enough of an answer. "But why would he do that, you're the perfect son."
Tears started rolling down his cheeks and he found himself unable to keep anything from you, "It started 2 years ago. And it's gotten so much worse. I think it's because of You Know Who coming back to life. Maybe he's just scared but everything I do is wrong. And if I mention..." Draco paused and glanced around, "Harry Potter, he goes on a rampage." When you finished Draco gestured to his arm, "This was the worst one, it was because him and I got into an argument this Summer...about you know..."
"Harry?" You asked.
Draco pursed his lips and nodded, Harry Potter was nothing but pain for him. "It was about how Harry won the tournament. I mentioned how he gave his money to the Weasleys and I was wondering why he did that." Draco scowled. "Father said it was because he's an idiot, but I said if he's so much of an idiot, how come he won the tournament? Then..." Draco gestured to his arm, slipping on his jacket.
You nodded and you felt like you should share something with him as well. But you didn't want to put any weight on his shoulders, so instead you awkwardly reached out your arms for a hug. The ones your mother gave you. They weren't often but you could feel her love when she did.
Draco used his good arm and you hugged him gently, making sure not to hurt him just in case. You wanted to protect him, but this was the worst time to protect anyone.
A/n okay this is gonna be good. Dont you worry I'll have the part two out for the George x Reader and for this one in no time!!
