Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Three

Chapter six - Home again

Y/n pov

We all get out and you get into a carriage with the Trio, as it pulls you towards Hogwarts. You sit at your respective table, beside Malfoy and everyone as the choir sings.

"Welcome, Welcome, to another year at Hogwarts, now I'd like to say a few words before we all become to befuddled by our excellent feast." Dumbledore says making any conversation stop. You notice him dressing much differently, brighter for sure.

"First I'm pleased to welcome professor RJ Lupin, who's kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, good luck Professor." The man stands up.... That's the same man who helped Harry and You on the train. You hear Hermione mutter about it too.

"Potter? Potter?" Draco calls quietly. You glare at him. Harry and Ron turn and face him.

"Is it true you fainted?" He asks almost laughing. You keep a stern face.

"I mean you actually fainted?" You Elbowed Draco hard for that one. Harry smiled at your action.

"Shove off Malfoy." Ron said pulling Harry to face forward.

"Silvanus, our care for magical creatures' teacher has decided to retire, in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce, that his place will be taken by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid." Dumbledore informed us making you and the Trio call out loudly above the applause.

"Finally, on a more describing note, at the request of the ministry of magic, Hogwarts will until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azkaban. Until such a time Sirius Black is captured... the Dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds." You tense and look at the table in front of you. He couldn't be serious!

"No whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt their day-to-day activities, a word of caution, Dementors are Viscous creatures, they will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you, to give them no reason to harm you, it's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving." You are both outraged and scared, you take a shaky breath in and feel your hand shake out of fear and PTSD. You hid it under the table, not noticing the gaze of quiet a few professors, Hermione and Draco.

"But you know, happiness can be found in even the darkest of times, one only remembers to turn on the light." Dumbledore reassures looking at You and Harry mainly.

With that the feast starts.

"So, Y/n... Where were you?" Draco asks making sure to face you when he asks looking for ques.

"Honestly Malfoy, you can't guess?" You laugh, you know you've never really called him Malfoy but you did for some reason.

"I would hope I'm wrong." He states narrowing his eyes at you.

"I was visiting my sister in Y/c." You state as if obvious, you had to play every suspicion off.

"But... it seems a bot odd." You sigh at his worries. You want to tell him the truth... but you shouldn't.

"Not my fault you can't believe a word I say." You say making him go silent.

"..."

"Also... I like the hair; it looks good on you." You tell him making him blush for a split second before regaining his composure.

"Thanks... You also grew your hair out a lot, I mean it's almost if you haven't cut it in a while." You know you really didn't get to cut your hair you were just happy to be able to brush it and wash it again.
