y/n potter and draco malfoy

Chapter 14

Everything was going really well. Draco and I had talked about our relationship and why we thought it escalated so quickly, and a lot of other things too. Draco was a really sweet guy. I was just about to ask Draco if he was staying for Christmas when the most awfulest thing happened. The atmosphere started to change. I still saw Draco, but I knew Tom Riddle was there.
"No no no no no! Not now! Leave me alone you bloody git!" I exclaimed.
Draco turned to me and asked,
"Woah hey what's wrong?"
"Tom Riddle." I Said. I wanted Draco to see him. I wanted him to come with me when the scenery changed.
"It's happening now?!" Draco asked. I nodded and He grabbed my hand, "I'm not going anywhere." He said as the scenery changed. We were at some kind of ball. I was wearing a long green ball gown and a bunch of silver and diamond jewelry. My hair was down and curled and I could feel makeup on my face. I looked down at my hand that Draco was holding and saw his hand still linked with mine. I looked up at him and holy Christ he was beautiful. He was wearing an all black suit with his blonde hair to the side instead of pushed back. He was older. 18 probably, like I was. He was wearing a silver watch too. He looked at me stunned.
"Woah you look beautiful." Draco said.
"She does, doesn't she?" A familiar voice said. We both turned and I saw the cold eyes of Tom Riddle.
"Tom Riddle." I Said. Draco looked at me, and then at Tom, and punched him in the face.
"I don't know who you are, but that's for kissing (y/n). You bloody ass." Draco said. I smiled at him and then turned to Tom, who was smirking.
"That's the thanks I get for bringing you two here? I came back to apologize. To you as well, Draco." Tom said.
"Apologize? For what exactly?" I asked.
"For kissing you. I crossed the line and I'm sorry. I really do care about you, (y/n)." Tom replied. I was pretty sure he didn't mean a word he just said but for some reason I wanted to forgive him. I still felt that weird connection to him. Draco started laughing sarcastically and then glared at Tom,
"You seriously expect us to believe that? Maybe if you told us who you are and why and how you keep bringing (y/n) here we would believe you." He said. I was happy Draco was so clever. I wanted to know why Tom kept bringing me here and who the hell he was but he had no reason to tell me. Now he did, because if he didn't, I would hate him forever, and for some reason he needs me to fall in love with him. Tom looked at me and then Draco and then started talking,
"Listen, this, is a memory. It's in the past. I'm, in the past. I'm just a memory...and...I don't want to be just that anymore. I want to be real. I can't do that without (y/n) help. I need-"
"Me to fall in love with you." I finished.
Tom nodded and smiled at me. He took my hand and looked into my eyes. I felt so comfortable with him and I absolutely hated it. I looked into his ice blue eyes and I suddenly felt different. I forgot about my feelings for Draco and could only think about Tom Riddle.
"(y/n)?" I heard Draco ask. I tried to look away from Tom so I could answer Draco but I couldn't move.
"What the hell. Why can't I move?" I asked still looking into Tom Riddles eyes.
"Because I'm not letting you. Soon, you'll loathe Draco Malfoy. That's the first step to you loving me. I needed him here for this to work, and now that he is," Tom started smirking like a mad man and said, "I'm going to win." I started feeling really dizzy and I couldn't think of anything but Tom Riddle. I tried to move again but nothing happened. Then I felt someone touch my shoulder. I realized that it was Draco. I didn't hate him. Not yet anyway.
(y/n) please try to listen to me. You do not love Tom Riddle. He is doing some kind of spell on you. Look away. Look at me." Draco Said. I wanted to look at him. I just couldn't move. I couldn't even talk anymore.
"I am going to kill you." I heard Draco say to Tom.
"If you touch me, Malfoy, she will die. This is an interesting spell. She can't stop looking at me until she no longer cares for you. That's how it works. If you interrupt me, she'll die." Tom said smirking. I felt myself start to cry. Why me? Why did Tom need me?
"Draco.." I barely whispered. I couldn't believe I talked at all. Tom looked at me surprised.
"Interesting. I guess she likes you more then I thought." Tom said.
"God let her go! I will make her hate me! I'll do everything I can to make her loathe me. Just let her go!" Draco cried.
"I thought of that, but too many things could go wrong. It's just easier this way." Tom explained.
"You're torturing her. Why would you want to do that to someone you care about?" Draco asked.
"Well, I do care about her, that's true. But not in the way you think. I need her. She's valuable." Tom said. I realized Draco was trying to ruin Toms concentration. Unfortunately, Tom was really good at remaining eye contact with me.
"Why do you need (y/n)? Why not somebody else?" Draco asked. I felt him touch my back as sparks went up it. In my head in heard Draco's voice,
"(y/n) listen to me. You need to think about things that you love. Harry, Your parents, Hagrid-"
"You." I said out loud. Tom had been talking to Draco but I had no idea what he was saying. When I spoke he stopped talking and looked at me questionably.
"What?" Tom asked. I heard Dracos voice again,
"Yes good. Me. You care about all of us, not Tom Riddle. Try to look away from him. Look at me. Try. Think about me and look at me." I started thinking about Draco and all the new memories I had with my friend. I cared about Draco a lot. I smiled and shut my eyes.
"Impossible." Tom said. I turned around, opened my eyes and saw a smiling Draco Malfoy. I started smiling and hugged him.
"That is impossible. How did-?" Tom started to say.
"I got in her head. Because you're not the only one who knows spells." Draco said smiling at Tom.
"You haven't won. I will come back. I am the most powerful wizard in the world. I always find a way to survive." Tom said. I looked at him and he looked like he wanted to kill me. He snapped his fingers and I fell to the ground. ~
When I woke up, I was in the hospital wing at Hogwarts.
"What the-" I started to say.
"Oh my god. You're okay." I heard a familiar voice say. I started smiling and turned towards the voice.
"Harry." I Said smiling as I looked at my brothers face. Behind him was a smiling Hermione and Ron. I turned to the other side of me and saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Snape.
"Welcome back." Snape Said looking relieved.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You passed out. You and Malfoy. You've been in some kind of coma for a week!" Ron said. What in the actual hell?! A week?!
"Wh-what? A week? Wh-where's Draco?" I asked frantically. Everyone looked to the bed next to me and my eyes followed their gaze. Next to me, there was an unconscious Draco. I started to get up but then got really dizzy and fell back into my bed.
"Woah (y/n) take it easy. He's been in the same state that you have been in. I'm sure he'll wake up soon." Harry said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"He saved me from someone." I Said.
"What? Who?" Hermione asked. I looked at everyone and they all looked curious and worried. I wondered if I should tell them about what happened with Tom Riddle. What had he said? He was the most powerful wizard? I always thought Voldemort was the most powerful wizard.
"N-nevermind." I Said as I was realizing something. I had never hoped that I was wrong about something, but right now, I did.
"Alright everyone, I need to speak with Ms Potter alone. So if you could all please give us a moment." Dumbledore Said. Harry, Hermione and Ron all attacked me with a hug and I slightly smiled, still thinking about my thought about Tom.
"I bloody missed you (y/n)." Ron said.
"Yeah me too. It sucks being the only girl." Hermione Said.
"I love you (y/n). Don't leave me alone like that ever again. And it's a good thing you didn't miss Christmas." Harry said. I realized that Christmas was in like two days. I smiled at all of them and said,
"I love you guys." They all grinned and said it back and then walked away with Professors Snape and McGonagall.
"So do you want to tell me what really happened or should we wait for Mr. Malfoy to awaken?" Dumbledore asked me. I looked at him surprised when I suddenly heard Draco groaning. I turned to him and started smiling. I tried to get up again, but slowly this time. When I was off my cot, I ran over to Dracos and he looked at me smiling.
"Well hello gorgeous." He mumbled. I laughed and pointed at Dumbledore. Draco smirked and asked,
"What the bloody hell happened?"
"You and Ms. Potter have been in a coma for a week. I'd like to know how and why." Dumbledore Said to him.
Draco looked as shocked as I felt.
"Tom." Draco said. My eyes widened at him and he looked away from me and turned towards Dumbledore.
"Tom Riddle." Draco said to him. I was a little mad that he told him without us discussing anything. I didn't want to tell Dumbledore. Especially if what I thought was true. I turned around to look at Dumbledore and was surprised at his reaction to Toms name.
"Where did you hear that name?" Dumbledore asked worriedly.
"From him. He-" Draco started to say as he turned to me. I sighed and looked up at Dumbledore.
"Sir, Tom Riddle has been appearing to me. Saying that he needs me to fall in love with him so he can no longer be just a memory. Before our comas, he had tried to do a spell to make me hate Draco because he said that was the first step. It didn't work because Draco did a spell of his own to get in my head. Tom said that he would find another way to come back because he's the most powerful wizard in the world. Sir, is he....Voldemort?" I asked him. That had been my thought earlier. It would be crazy, impossible, even. But it made sense. I just hoped Dumbledore would call me crazy and say no. Dumbledore stayed quiet for a moment.
"He-who-must-not-be-named? You think Tom Riddle is you-know-who?" Draco asked worriedly. Draco looked worried in his own way. Like he knew Voldemort personally. But that was impossible.
Dumbledore sighed,
"Unfortunately, you are correct. Tom Riddle was a student here. He was an evil student. Who had turned into an evil man. I'm just trying to think how he could appear to you like this. He isn't real. He's just a memory. Which means, he is real somewhere else. Somewhere close. You need to be careful Ms. Potter." Dumbledore Said. I nodded at him and turned to Draco who looked like he just had eaten slugs.
"Are you okay?" I asked him. He looked up at me and smiled,
"Yeah. This is just a lot." He said. I could tell he was lying but I decided not to push him in front of Dumbledore. I nodded and smiled.
"You two get some rest and try to recover. I'll be back to check on you guys tomorrow morning. It's almost Christmas." Dumbledore Said as he walked out of the hospital.
"Oh my god." I Said, "Tom Riddle is Voldemort." I looked at Draco who wasn't smiling anymore.
"(y/n) I- " Draco sighed and finished saying, "maybe we should get some sleep."
I started at him and then laughed.
"Draco we've been sleeping for a week."
He smiled softly at me and laughed.
"Yeah you're right. Hey, what were you going to ask me before Tom Riddle appeared? When we were on our walk?" He asked. I smiled.
"I was going to ask if you were staying for Christmas." I Said.
"Well I would have said no a week ago, but now I think I'm going to." Draco said.
"What why?" I asked, "please don't tell me it's because of me."
"Well I'm not gonna lie to you." Draco said.
"Draco no. You don't have to stay because of me." I Said.
"But I want to stay. I'd much rather be with you then my parents. In fact, I've been thinking about staying for a while. It will be great. We can spend Christmas together. Plus, if I don't stay, you're going to be the only person left in Slytherin. Everyone else is going home." He said.
"Oh jeez really?" I asked.
Draco smirked and nodded.
I sighed, "Okay fine. But since you're staying, I get to give you a gift."
Dracos smirk went away and he said,
"No. No you don't have to do that. You're the only gift that I want." I smiled at him and said,
"Okay fine, but you can't get me one then." He chuckled nervously and said,
"Right, Okay." I wanted to get him a gift anyways. I had a feeling he was thinking the same but I didn't know what to get him. He was really rich so I'm sure he had everything he wanted. Draco had gotten in my bed so we could hear eachother better and we talked the rest of the night. We fell asleep at like 4 in the morning in the same bed. It was probably around 8 when I heard Ron's voice say,
"Oh bloody hell Harry, look away. You're not gonna want to see this." I opened my eyes and saw Ron, Hermione, and my brother walking up behind them.
"Why what's wrong?" Harry asked. I was a bit confused about what Ron was talking about until I looked next to me a remembered that Draco had fallen asleep in my bed last night.
"Oh no." I said. Hermione started laughing as I shot up out of bed.
"Oh bloody hell (y/n)!" I heard Harry yell.
"Calm yourself. We didn't do anything. We just fell asleep talking." I Said. I turned to Draco and smiled at him sleeping. He was so handsome.
"Draco," I Said tapping on him, "wake up."
He started opening his eyes and looked at me. He smirked and said "oops. I didn't mean to fall asleep here. But I mean at least we didn't do anything wrong like we did the last time." My eyes widened and I moved out of the way so Draco could see Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Oh hell. Why does that keep happening?" Draco asked.
"Last time?! What happened last time?!" Harry exclaimed.
"Nothing did. I was joking. Calm down Potter." Draco said. I started laughing and Hermione and Ron joined me. Draco smiled and Harry glared at all of us.
"Yeah it'll be really funny when Dumbledore comes in here and sees you two laying in bed together." Harry said.
Everyone stopped laughing and Draco smirked and got out of my bed.
"I suppose Potters right. Granger, Weasley, was there something you guys needed?" Draco asked sarcastically.
"Actually yes. (y/n) we found something about Nicholas Flamel." Hermione Said.
"Really? What did you find?" I asked. Hermione took a folded piece of paper out of her coat pocket, unfolded it, and began reading,
"Nicholas Flamel is the known maker of the Philosophers stone!"
"The what?" I asked.
"Honestly, do any of you read? Harry and Ron said the same thing. The Philosophers stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. It can transform any metal into pure gold and produces the elixir of life which will make the drinker immortal. The only stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel the famous Alchemist, who last year celebrated his 665 birthday. That's what Fluffys guarding on the 3rd floor! That's what's under the trap door! The Philosophers stone." Hermione finished. I couldn't believe that we had an elixir of life in our freaking school. I assumed that's what Voldemort was after.
"Wow. We should talk to Hagrid. I'm feeling a lot better today and I'm ready to leave this stupid cot." I Said.
"Does anyone want to tell me what the bloody hell is going on?" I heard Draco ask. I had forgotten he was there. I quickly debated on whether or not we should tell him and decided that we should. I looked at my friends and silently told them that I was going to tell him. They nodded as I turned and told Draco everything. From my scar burning when I looked at Professor Snape, to fluffy, and to the Philosophers stone. I mentioned Voldemort and how I assumed he was after it too.
"Wow. That's... a lot. So what is it you guys are planning on doing? Stopping Voldemort? A mudblood, a Weasley and two chosen ones? He's a dark lord who can kill all of you in a heartbeat. Just leave it alone. Let it go." Draco said. I couldn't believe my ears. He wanted me just to forget about all of this? We were in danger and we weren't ever going to be out of danger unless we stop Voldemort.
"Are you serious? Draco I told you because I thought you'd be willing to help me. Help all of us. Also, don't call Hermione a mudblood. I told you that already." I said.
"(y/n) I am trying to help you. You're going to get yourself killed. Don't go to Hagrids." Draco said.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have to listen to you. I'm going to save not only myself, but everyone else too. You can chose to stay here or come with us." I Said as I got up and walked out with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Are you okay?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, fine. Thanks. I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready. I'll meet you guys in the dining hall for breakfast." I Said. They all nodded and Harry gave me a hug.
"It's okay (y/n). If he really does care about you, he'll come around." Hermione Said.
