A Riddle [Draco Malfoy X Reader]

Chapter eight

I walked with Draco and his goons down the corridor. People staring and whispering nonsense about me to each other, I was slowly but surely getting used to that.

We walked past a few Gryffindor students on the way and overheard their gossip.

"Did you here? Harry Potter is the new Gryffindor seeker!" I widened my eyes.

"What?! But I thought first years aren't allowed to play on the team!"

"I know right?! Isn't it awesome?!"

I turned to Draco, who was also wide-eyed but had much more of scowl on his face. This obviously wasn't where he thought this was going.

I LOVED quidditch. I would play mini quidditch with Ronna when I was younger, I would also watch a few games when me and Ronna weren't preoccupied with something.

I actually haven't owled Ronna in a while , I'll owl her later to see how she's doing.

The boys were talking amongst themselves , probably about Potter being the new Gryffindor seeker, I decided to go else where and leave the boys to their daily gossip.

I snuck away from them and walk up to find the Grand Staircase Tower (yes that's actually what it's called) I see Harry , Ron and Hermione in the middle of the staircases. Being the weirdo I am , decided to eavesdrop on their conversation (see this is why they fear you y/n)

"-its spooky. She knows more about you than you do." Ron wailed.

"Who doesn't?" Said Harry. Suddenly the staircase begins to move. Hermione gasps. "Ahh!" Ron screamed

I let out a tiny shriek which causes the trio to spin their heads around. "Oh uh.. hello..." I gave an awkward smile which only Harry returned. "What's happening?" Harry asks.

"I think the staircases are changing" I said looking around to see where we are going. Suddenly the staircase stops , leading to a corridor.

"Let's go this way" Harry suggested. "You too, y/n" I looked at him surprised and so did Hermione and Ron. "Harry! What do you think you're doing!" The bushy haired girl whisper-shouted.

Harry ignores her "C'mon! Before the staircase moves again." I snap back into reality and skip a few stairs , finally reaching them. "W-why were you following us?" Ron says trying to sound brave bit fails.

"Following you? Why would I follow you three?" I raised an eyebrow at them. "Then what were you doing?" Harry asks this time. I scrunched my eyebrows together. What was it them to know what I was doing? "I was just walking around , exploring the place." I stated.

We started walking through the corridor "Does anyone feel like...we shouldn't be here?" Harry said nervously. "We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden."

Suddenly, a torch lights on a tall Stone support and at that moment, Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris comes running and meows. "Let's go." Harry said. Mrs. Norris meowed again. "It's Filch's cat!"

"Run!"

We run through the corridor , the flames lighting up as we go past them. We hit a dead end at the end of the corridor. In front of us was a large door. Harry tries opening the door but it was locked up tight.

"It's locked!" Harry shouts. "that's it, we're done for!" Ron moans. I sigh , pushing through the boys. "Excuse me please" I pull out my wand and aim it at the lock

"Alohomora" the door unlocks magically and it opens. "Get in!" I pushed them a tiny bit, earning a shiver from Ron and a tense aura from Hermione. "Alohomora?" Ron asks I opened my mouth to answer him but the muggleborn beat me to it "Standard book of spells, chapter 7."
