Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Five

Chapter five - The Stories Behind Our Scars

Y/n pov

You looked at the group in front of you and landed on Peter. Might as well ask now.

"I do have something to ask and well I'm in the mood for it I think someone else in here should tell me something, unless they don't want to. Peter how long have you been a werewolf?" You asked.

"Ten years now... you saw them, didn't you?" Peter asks in regard to his back and you nodded.

"W-Who...?" You asked siting beside the boy with your hand on his cheek.

"Fenrir Greyback... when I was six." You saw Remus's eyes grow wide and he gripped the bedsheets tight, almost until his knuckles were white. "Pete, why would he-"

"Because all he's ever wanted was an army of young werewolves, he bites them young, kidnaps them and then teaches them about wizards in a purely evil way, he's evil and cruel and deserves nothing more than death." Remus shouted while standing.

"Remus, are you okay?" You asked nervously.

"Greyback was also the one who bit me, hearing he's still up to his old ways are not surprising but..." You could feel Remus had a special hate for Greyback in his heart, which was justified

"I'm sorry." You stood and looked back at Peter, this must've been the first he heard of this too.

"He's a coward, while I slept, only my father drove him away before anything could happen more not that it mattered." Remus said darkly.

"Sorry Remus, for me, my mother warned me not to be out late... I just had had enough of their bickering of the wizarding world, my father a half blood just like my mother, they both didn't know what they wanted from me, if they wanted me to be a wizard after all they'd seen in the war... I left just to see the moon, I found it beautiful then, I didn't hear Greyback I just felt the force, next thing I knew my face was in the dirt and soothing sharp in my back, my mother must've noticed I was missing and when she found me just as it all happened. She was a powerful witch and forced him off me, but he used the one thing he had to hold on to which was me, that's why you saw the marks dragging down my back." You did something out of your comfort zone again and hugged him you just could feel his pain and needed to comfort him as he does you.

"I'm sorry Pete." You said holding him as close as you could your eyes closed tightly.

"It's not your fault...  nothing was." He said holding you closer, he knew you weren't just talking about him getting bit, but Cedric as well. You both finally released eachother and you wiped your eyes.

"Y/n there's something I have to ask of you?" Remus said standing, you stood and nodded.

"On the topic of scars can I see what exactly I did?" Remus asked looking at your side. You knew it was big and deep, it'd only upset him.

"Remus... you don't have to worry I'm fine... you weren't in control, I don't blame you for all that." You told him Sirius remembered you bleeding out trying to protect him.

"I'm the one who scarred you, I'm the one who woke up with your blood on my hands, I could've bitten you could've killed you." He reminded you.

"No offense mate, but she didn't a lot of time to heal and I think-"

"Fred!" You stopped him.

"You didn't, every time you sifted you could see it plain as day, plus didn't you almost pass out from the strain after helping Peter?" George commented making you glare at the both of them.

"That was my choice and mine alone." You said turning back to Lupin.

"Y/n please just to ease my mind." Remus asked, you knew that this would only hurt him but better he knew then think you lied and kept him in the dark.

You sighed and lifted your shirt just enough up and he could see the gashes spanning across a good third of your torso, deep for sure leaving dark scars that looked as if they'd never fade. He reached out and you puled away he shook his head. You dropped the fabric letting it fall and tilted your head.

"Remus-" You started as you could see the horror in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry... I can't believe I..." Remus looked around and then down at you, he stuttered some more before turning to leave. You acted on instinct and grabbed his arm making him face you but look away.

"Listen to me Remus Lupin and listen very carefully." You demanded making him look you in the eyes. "I don't blame you or Peter for anything that happened it me. My sister and Pettigrew ripped open my flesh and just because it didn't scar doesn't mean I forgive them, or forget it, it happened. Every scar tells us a story, these scars are just proof." You paused to catch your breath. "Proof that I care more about you and Peter than what the whole dumb Wizarding World thinks of werewolves." You told him.

"I could've killed you." He said simply.

"And I could've killed Sirius, or you, or Peter, hell with the amount Fred runs his mouth I may just kill him," You said.

"Hey!" Fred exclaimed.

"The point is you didn't and we saved Sirius, we all know the truth here and we can work together against a common enemy, Voldemort and his followers." You pushed out your memories and just tried to focus on comforting a friend.

"Y/n's got a point she could've killed me, in fact she had a golden opportunity but let me explain things, why was that?" Sirius asked.

"Well frankly you never lied to me before, and I knew I was more than capable of killing you if you had attempted anything, I really just wanted the truth was all, also sorry again for the nose." You said rubbing your neck.

"Not at all I mean-"

"What nose?" Remus asked confused.

"I uh broke Sirius' nose..." You told the room.

"Haha! Sirius a thirteen-year-old girl got the jump on you!?" Fred laughed to which you shifted and tackled him to the ground growling. You got off and shifted back.

"Yeah, yeah, should've expected that." Fred said rubbing his neck as George helped him stand.

"Now after all this do you still want to attack Peter's father?" Sirius asked.

"Well of course, I do not forgive those that hurt my friends... But I know Peter will not like that... so I won't hunt him down right now, but if I see him in public or he threatens or lays another hand on you, that'll be his end." You warned. Peter nodded thankfully.
