When the lights go out [Malfoy x reader story]

"..... Driving me crazy"

"What else then?"

"I don't know, I guess I was just somewhere else with my thoughts for a moment. Anyway what did that paper meant? I mean the words 'you won't survive again'?"

"That's a long story, but the tell you that much, I was just lucky to survive that day. I got away with a scar, but that's the reason I wasn't attending a lot of school dances anymore." I pulled my shirt up a bit and pointed my finger on the scar on my tummy. His eyes widened as he saw the scar.

" Who in Merlins name wants to hurt you and why?" He then asked determinedly making a fist.

" That woman I told you about. I don't know her my dad doesn't speak about her either my mother does. I'm rather happy about it since, I could forget her for a while, but now. I'm just scared. "

" I will tell you something Y/n. You might not trust me with this, but I'll protect you as good as possible. "

" Cute. "I smiled as he smiled encouraging.

" Y/n.... "He whispered as he came closer, when the door was harshly opened. He moved away a bit and sat straight, throwing death glares at Crabbe and Goyle, who were dragged into the common room by Pansy.

" Unbelievable, these morons have been following me all day, bringing me away from you Draco, sweetheart."

" Eww. " I whispered.

"Shove off Pansy." He said, looking grimly. "Don't you get it once?"

He stood up and went out if the common room.

"Well done Y/n." Pansy groomed.

" Pansy please don't make a fool of yourself." I shot back still being calmly.

" I? I am not making a fool of myself, it's you! Thinking you could win him, even though we are already going to the dance together. Just because you are American, you can't get any boy. I bet he doesn't even want a cheap yank like you!" Pansy was spitting with every words that came out of her venomous mouth.

" I beg your pardon? Cheap yank ? Please that's ridiculous you are throwing yourself around his neck everytime you get a chance." I stood up.

" Yeah run go to your loved mudbloods and don't come back!"

Enough is, enough Pansy.
I turned around gazing her, then I punched her with all my strength. She whined as she fell back and started to cry.
Crabbe and Goyle both being shocked by my action stepped aside when I went out.
I walked down the hallway right to the Gryffindor wing.

"Password." The lady in the picture said.

"I don't know, I'm just waiting for someone." I answered.

I sat on the stairs my head on my hands when Seamus and Dean came upstairs.

"Hey Y/n, what's up? Why are you sitting there?" Seamus asked.

"Just looking out for Hermione or Fred, but I don't know your password, so I thought I would wait until someone comes to call one if them out." I answered, my head still a little lowered in resignation.

"Wow whoever made you look like that is a rat faced ass." Dean said looking at my worried.

"The great Pansy Parkinson herself is making me crazy." I sighed. "I might put a curse on her if she doesn't stop."

" Don't worry she's already punished by the universe, I mean you know her and you know what almost everyone thinks.." Seamus gave me a comforting smile.

"I'll wait here with you, just in case rat face Pansy is looking for trouble and Dean can get one of them out here." Seamus then said and Dean nod. I smiled at both of them, then watched Dean going into the Gryffindor wing. Seamus and I were waiting for a few minutes, chatting about school stuff when Fred came out.

" What's the matter Y/n ? "He asked worried.

" Want to go for a walk?" I avoided answering the question.

" Yes sure. "He answered giving me a warm smile.

We walked on a small path next to each other before stopping on the bridge. I leaned on the railing and sighed.

" Why are you being sad?" Fred asked with a surprisingly serious voice.

" It's just Pansy Parkinson is driving me crazy. She's insulting me and being mean and she never stops. I haven't done anything to hear and there was a family incident I remembered lately, I don't know I'm just sad." I answered hiding my face behind my hands.

" Listen Y/n, you know Pansy and she doesn't deserve your attention. You are as far as I got to know you a kind and lovely person and you shouldn't be sad. Okay?" He looked at me until I showed my face.

" Thank you Fred, I appreciate that you know." I weakly smiled as he pulled me into a comforting hug. I heard a quilt sound of someone dropping something, when I spotted Draco behind Fred. He seemed to get a totally wrong picture now. I knew what he tried to do before, but inviting Pansy to the dance, that was just humiliating for me.
He just stood there, not moving a single inch, then turned around and left.

"What was that?" Fred asked as he realsed me from his hug. I felt better, that was true.

"Draco." I scanned the floor of the bridge when I saw a small pendant.

"What was he doing here?"

"I don't know." I slowly walked to the pendant and took it. It was a small pendant with a snake.

"He has something to do with everything right? What did he do to upset you that much, I mean I thought he liked you. Y/n you've got to tell me this now." His determination made me realize that he was even nicer than I knew he was.

"I'm going to the dance with you, that's why he decided to go with Pansy. Not that I'm jealous, but going with someone who hates me is just mean." Usually I wouldn't trust even one of Pansys words but why should she lie with that.

" Y/n, there are three possibilities why. First he likes you, but feels hurt so he wants to make you jealous. Second he's just an asshole searching trouble all the time, like seriously all the time. Thrid Pansy is a compulsive liar."

"Eh don't even say her name she's worse than you-know - who...." I answered smiling and so did Fred.

"Let's go back if you feel better and then you should talk to Malfoy even though I don't like him I respect, that you are friends with him."

After dinner, which Draco didn't attend, I was waiting for hours to talk to him, but he just didn't show up. My head lowered in resignation I entered my room, it was past ten and I wamted to sleep. A owl was sitting in my window with Mary had forgotten to close, before she went to bed. I took the letter and opened it.

Half past ten astronomy tower, we need to talk.
D. M

He was really into his last name, while he wrote D in normal handwriting, well his normal handwriting was also as if he was about the enter a competion with it. But his last name, dear Lord this M looked like he did nothing but trying this for hours. I looked at the clock. Ten minutes left until I should be there and the astronomy tower wasn't around the corner. I put the paoer into my jeans, then I quietly sneaked out.

"What are you doing this late here?" The picture woman asked.

"Miss, it's really important, but I won't make trouble. Please don't tell the teachers."

She nod as if she knew where I was running to. I ran as fast as possible to be on time, but I didn't want to make to much noise, that's why I had to slow down a bit. I climbed up the stairs in the astronomy tower until I reached a kind of balcony. Draco was sitting there, his head lowered in resignation.

"It's bedtime minus ten Slytherin." I imitated Snape and he turned around shocked.

"You scared me." He said.

"I did scare you? The great Draco Malfoy was scared." I laughed as I sat next to him. "What is it? Don't find a proper dress that suits Pansys?" I asked.

"Why the hell should it fit Pansys?"
