Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Three

Chapter twenty five - Helping Paws

Y/n pov

You didn't feel like doing much else anymore, you had lost three friends, helped a murderer escape prison, your only friends in your house you barley saw and any others you had no classes with.  You didn't show up for classes. You had left a note for Alli and Bay saying to say that you weren't feeling the best or was running late, just to make up excuses until you came back. You didn't care you drank water and ate at Hagrid's after he left the hut he lived in.

You knew you had to say something but you didn't want to show up for the classes that Harry, Hermione or Ron in them, which didn't leave you with much, so you just spent most of your time in the woods. You maybe would go to the odd class but nothing with the trio. You never saw them in the halls you made sure of it. You started to notice your tired eyes probably because you didn't want to face anyone you kept sleeping outside, you mostly cried yourself to sleep, it was all while you were a wolf, you felt pathetic, your hair was untidy for your classes, you never ate meals at the halls and only took Hagrid cooking which wasn't good or filling, mostly burnt and bland. Even that you felt like you didn't deserve. You were a failure, a disappointment to your family name. it'd been four days like this so far and nothing changed.

You laid by the lake and huffed. You felt like you were back in Azkaban, little, food, no shower, dementors roaming everywhere. You just sat at the edge of the frozen lake and you saw a misty reflection of yourself.

You saw a dog and a ginger cat behind you and quickly turned. You sighed and leaned back before getting out your wand.

"Heh. I'm so done." You said putting your wand down beside you. If it was Sirius Black and he was going to kidnap you you'd hoped he'd make it quick.

"You..." You said pointing to the shaggy black dog. "If you really are who I think, leave. I trusted you and now I'm a worse situation than before." You paused thinking, your brain moving so muh slower after having nothing but crumbs of Hagrid's cooking for four days.

"You know what? Fuck Sirius Black, fuck Voldemort, fuck the ministry, fuck Harry and Ron and Hermione. Fuck it all." You paused before standing up on the ice.

"I mean like do I trust Sirius yes and no. Like how am I supposed to trust him, convicted felon, but also someone so kind, and yet he killed Potters parents? And Pettigrew and those muggles and still helps a scared child he could midpalate!? And yet as soon as Harry found out he flipped on me, Ron was worse and I never expected Hermione to fire at me. It's like they think I'm going to snap!" You shout not noticing the heating temperature around you.

"I went to Azkaban and yes I attack Philip the shitty, abusive guard. Did I mean to? No, but I did, you know what fuck them all, I'm so sick of being sorry for what I couldn't control." You hissed. Not noticing the Dog growing concerned and Crookshanks start to meow.

"I'm even more I'm sick of getting yelled at for losing control-!" You shout but as you do the ice below you breaks, you didn't realise that you had melted layers of ice so it'd crack, and you'd fall in.

You felt the freezing liquid surround you, you gasped, all that did is let the water enter your lungs, but you hadn't the energy to swim up for air. You just saw a dark pair of paws above you on the ice before greeting the darkness with a grin.

You opened your blurry eyes and coughed up some water you looked to your left and saw Hagrid. You were in Hagrid's hut.

"Hagrid...?" You croaked making you slide into a coughing fit.

"Y/n!" Hagrid made sure you were done coughing before offering some bread he took from the great hall. Which you practically inhale, you were starving, and after the ice thing you didn't have the energy to refuse food.

"What happened? The last thing I remember is falling through the ice." You told the man. He looked at you sadly.

"It wasn't really me, you see I-I had just gotten a letter and well there was this barking sound and pounding on the door it annoying Fang to no end I opened it and saw a black dog and Hermione cat they made motions for me to follow them and I did ya see, n' I saw you laying on top of the ice, lips all blue and face pale and snowflakes and frost on your face... well I made quick work to pull you into my hut and get you warmed up as soon as possible. You gave me a scare." Hagrid explained. You nodded and felt a slight burn as your face started to defrost.

"Sorry Hagrid." You say lightly.

You and Hagrid talked for a few more minutes before your remembered.

"Oh, my wand, I have to go out and get it." You said suddenly.

"right then but I'm following." Hagrid said you nodded before going out into the snow and back to the lake to get your wand.

You paused at the lake found it a bit chilled but otherwise fine, you were about to leave when you didn't, you stopped and stared at the hole where you had fallen in, there was a handprint as if someone reaching in the water to grab you needed to lean on something, a hand way to small to be Hagrid, plus Hagrid said he found you beside the hole... so, who saved you? If it were a centaur there'd be hoof prints but no, it was a hand print for sure, and it wasn't yours.
You shook your head and decided to go back to Hagrid's hut to fully warm up and dry off.

Hagrid showed you the letter he got from the ministry and began to weep. You tried to comfort him but he wouldn't listen, he was too loud and you were to weak and quite to do much. You just rubbed his shoulder as he sat at his table and wept.

(Like I said before things are going to get busy fast so I'm gonna work hard before i'm not able to so here's another one.)
