Snakes and Lions (Draco x Reader x Harry)

2.9 Valentine's Day

We rush back to the bathroom to get Hermione.

"That was close!" Ron states.

"Hermione, come out. We've got loads to tell you!" Harry yells into her stall.

"Go away!" She commands

"Ahh! Wait till you see. It's awful!" Myrtle starts dying of laughter.

"Mione? A-are you okay?" I ask her.

"Do you remember me telling you that the Polyjuice Potion was only for human transformations? It was cat's hair I plucked off Millicent Bulstrode's robes. Look at my face." She walks out of the stall, looking like a cat with a human body. Myrtle can't help but laugh while I gasp in horror.

"Look at your tail!" Ron chuckles and Harry shakes his head.

"Let's take you into the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey never asks too many questions." Harry urges her to leave. I remember how late it is and need to get back to Draco.

"I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow, good luck Hermione!" I shout running back to my common room. The doors open and I see Draco nodding off in the same place we left him. I slowly walk over to him, wanting to get this over with soon. Especially because I couldn't tell him how upset I was about what he said earlier while I was under the polyjuice potion. Although I'm not too angry because of his oddly nice comment about me. I look at him, almost asleep, he's a little cute, except for his slick hair. I nudge him slightly and he begins to stir.

"Hmm..." He turns to look at me. "Oh, Y/n. It's you." He says sitting up.

"I uh have your gift." I told him, holding out the small package. He looks surprised and takes it.

"Before I open this I have a question." Draco tells me and I sit down next to him on the couch. "Why was Pansy wearing your snake pin? I thought I should ask you before I asked her." My face turns red, I try to think of something quickly.

"I let her borrow it, she had a fancy event, and she brought it back earlier." I say pointing to the pin on my robe.

"Okay, I uh thought you gave it up." He looks down.

"I would never do that." I reply and an awkward silence overcomes us. We stand there for a moment until he looks at his gift again. "Open it!" I say as he unwraps the emerald box. He opens it and reveals a silver snake ring. It's manly, and represents his name and Slytherin. He looks at me in awe.

"This is bloody awesome!" He exclaims. He then puts it on and hands me my gift. I open the wrapping to reveal a pack of parchment and envelopes. I look at the envelopes and it has a big, cursive (First Initial). There is also a letter in the package. It says Y/n on it.

"Can..can I open it?" I ask him.

"Yes." He mumbles running his fingers through his hair. I open the letter sand begin to read it.

Dear Y/n,

Happy Christmas. I hope your year has been well. You're an amazing quidditch player. Hope we can get closer for the rest of the year.

-Draco

{Yes I understand it's awful but keep in mind they are 13 in this story}

"Thank you Draco. Listen, it's late, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" I ask him.

~Weeks Later~

The next few weeks are full of hospital wing visits to see Hermione. Rumors started to spread around her. We visit her every evening to give her homework, and children follow us to try to get a glimpse of her, but none were successful. She is released early February. We visit her one particular evening when there is a card sticking out from her pillow.
