Draco Malfoy X Reader

• Expecto Patronum •

We ran deeper into the dark forest, occasionally making sure that the beast, being Buckbeak, was still following us.

When we thought we'd run far enough, Harry was the first to speak.

"Now what?" He asked.

"We save Sirius," Hermione stated.

"How?" Harry asked looking back at me. I shrugged in response.

"I don't know," Hermione admitted.

We ran up a steep hill to get a view of our past selves.

"Look its Lupin." Hermione pointed to us.

"And Snapes coming... " I added, taking a seat on the ground due to how drained I was from running.

We continued to observe ourselves from a distance and took the time to rest.

"Now we wait," Harry states.

"And now we wait," Hermione repeats. Harry finally sits next to us.

Bats came swarming out from the woods, a couple smacking off of Harry making the two of us giggle.

Hermione looked back to check on Buckbeak to see he was having a blast catching bats in his mouth.

"At least someone's having fun." Mione smiled.

"Yeah..." Harry paused, turning around in thought.

"Hermione..."

"Yeah?"

"Before down by the lake with Sirius, I did see someone. That someone made all of the dementors go away." Harry explained.

While the two talked, I took this time to admire the stars shining above us. Hoping to see a shooting star at some point.

"With the Patronus. I heard Snape telling Dumbledore. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could have conquered it." Hermione answered.

"It was my dad," Harry said proudly.

"It was my dad that conjured the Patronus "

"Harry your dads-"

"- dead I know. I'm just telling you what I saw." Harry finished for her.

I felt awkward sitting next to Harry. The conversation didn't involve me and I knew several reasons why.

There was a moment of silence before Hermione pointed out that we were coming, making us all stand up to watch.

"You see Sirius talking to me there." Harry spoke making both Mione and I nod our heads.

"He's asking me to come and live with him." Harry smiled.

"That's great," Hermione said.

"When we free him, I won't have to live with the Dudleys no more." Harry finished.

"The Dudley's?" I questioned making Harry turn to face me.

"Yeah, people I have had to live with since my parents died." He answered. I nod in understanding before hearing Hermione's past self shout Harry's name.

"Oh no..." I said.

"Let's go," Harry said as we followed him. I couldn't help but watch as my past self, put herself at risk to save her friends and family.

"You put yourself at risk doing that," Hermione said over her shoulder as if she just read my mind.

"No regrets!" I half-shouted back to her before seeing my past self being flung into the air by the beast.
