Malfoy Neighbors

Find A Way, Draco!-Year 3 Chapter 15

Rom Weasley was telling everyone who would listen, how Sirius Black was in his dorm room. You didn't want to hear it. You were already scared of this criminal. You didn't particularly want to know he was so close. It made you feel unsafe. You looked at Draco. He had been able to chase your fears of Black from your mind all year.

"(Y/n)?" Sam said, pulling you out of your thoughts for a moment. "Are you ok?" You nodded, but you weren't ok. You were terrified. You felt like going to Draco to feel safe again, but knew you couldn't do that. Just then, an owl flew in, with all the other owls, and doped a howler onto the Gryffindor table. Soon you saw Neville Longbottom running into the corridor with it. The Slytherin table bursted into laughter, and you no longer wanted to go near Draco.

A week later, you found yourself in Hogsmeade again. You wandered around the town. Up the hill was an old shack looking house people called the Shrieking Shack. Draco and his friends were walking up to it. You ignored them, until you saw mud flying from out of no where. It kept hitting Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. It appeared that the three of them were fighting an invasion person and Ron Weasley. It was funny to watch. Then appeared the head of Potter. Draco and his friends ran towards the castle. You knew what he was going to do. You didn't think anyone would believe him though. If you haded seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed it either. You let things play out and pretend you saw nothing.

The next day during your Care of Magical Creatures class, you noticed Buckbeak outside. You were now studying from the text book itself. Hagrid didn't think he was a very good teacher. You thought he was doing just fine. This class, however, wasn't like all the others in the least. Hagrid assigned you to read from the monster book of monsters, while he sat with his hippogriff. You didn't want to read though, so you joined Hagrid and Buckbeak.

"Hello there Buckbeak." You said as you walked up to him and bowed.

"What are you doin' 'er?" Hagrid asked as Buckbeak bowed to you.

"I was wondering how the trial went. But from the way you're acting, it didn't go well." You said sympathetic. Hagrid started wailing.

"We looooost." He mopped his face with his large hand. You sat down next to the hipogriff.

"I'm so sorry Buckbeak. It's all Draco's fault." You said leaning into the creatures arm.

After class, you fallowed the other students into the school. You heard the cold drawl of Draco's voice.

"Look at him blubber. Have you ever seen anything quite as pathetic? And he's supposed to be our teacher?" This angered you. You weren't the only one though. Potter and Weasley both made a move to attack but Granger got to Draco first.

SMACK! She hit him. Draco stumbled back, The people around stood bewildered. She lifted her hand to hit him again.

"Don't you dare call Hagrid pathetic, you foul, you evil..." she was cut off by Weasley.

"Harmony" he said, slowly grabbing her hand that was going to hit Draco again.

"Get off, Ron." She said angrily pulling out her wand. Crabbe and Goyle looked at Draco for instructions.

"Come on" Draco said to them after taking a step back. The three of them disappeared into the dungeons.

Later that night, you found Draco in the courtyard with Perkinson. The two of then were standing there alone talking, so you guessed it was true that they were together. Perkinson was hanging off of Draco's arm. You didn't care about that. You walked right up to them. Draco looked annoyed but was putting up with her. She was talking about his arm and the injury he got from Buckbeak. It enraged you again.

"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY!" You yelled at him once you got close. Both Draco and Perkinson jumped. Draco truned to see you.

"You deserved what you got. Find a way to save Buckbeak!" You said coldly.

"Why would he do that? The monstrous beast almost killed my Drakey" Perkinson said. You gave her a look that must have freighted her becuase she shut up. You retuned your gase back to Draco.

"It's your fault that Buckbeak attacked you. You find a way to save him or I will never speak another word to you ever agian." You said threatenly

Draco's pov

"How am I supposed to do that?" He asked defensively.

"I don't know, and I don't care. If Buckbeak is killed, you're dead to me." You said getting in his face.

"Good, you need to leave him alone anyways." Perkinson said snobbishly.

"Stay out of it Perkinson!" You spat, "This has nothing to do with you." You looked back at Draco. You where livid.

'Why does she care if the hipogriff lives or not?' He thought, giving you a stund look. You were rambling on and on but Draco was in his own thoughts. How was he going to be able to stop the execution?

"There's not much I can do." Draco said still taken a back. If he didn't find a way to save the beast, you would stop talking to him for sure. He didn't like it when you acted like he didn't exist.

"Find a way!" You yelled and took a few steps back to the school. You truned back around.

"You deserved to get hit by a 'mudblood' by the way." You said, using air quotes before storming off. He looked at Perkinson. What was he going to do. He didn't want to lose you for good.

Your pov

You went back to your dorm room and was laying on your bed when (n/n) jumped on you.

"What do you have there?" You said taking what your niffler had in his paws.

"What is this?" It looked like a cylindrical tube. You put it aside and told (n/n) to leave it alone. The next morning you took this stange looking idem to Dumbledore, with (n/n). He was sitting the the staff table.

"Headmaster?" You said walking up to the table. Dumbledore was the only one there. "My niffler brought me something last night. I don't know where he got it or how. I also don't know who's it is, so I can't return it." Dumbledore smiled.

"What is it my dear?" He asked. You handed the idem to him. You expected him to get angry and want to cadge (n/n), but to your astonishment, his smile grew.

"I miss placed this weeks ago. I thought I had lost it for good." He said. You tilted your head slightly. (N/n) climbed from your shoulder and onto the Dumbledores, crossing the table in the prosses. "It's called a Deluminator. It takes the light from a muggle lamp and can relight them too." He explained.

"Thanks (n/n) for finding it." He said patting your niffler gently on his head. "You are a good boy." You smiled as your pet as he jumped from Dumbledore to you.
