Hayley Iris Potter

Chapter 6

Draco Malfoy was doing his prefect rounds alone as his co-prefect for today, Granger didn't show up. He didn't understand who in their right mind will make Granger and the weasel as prefects. He thought Hayley would be made a prefect and he can have some time during rounds to talk to her as he couldn't do it for past 4 years.

When Draco saw her first in Madam Malkin's he didn't know that she was the girl who lived, but still he wanted to befriend her. She was too small for her age and flinches when someone touches her. He wanted to help her but she left before he can even talk to her properly. 

When he saw her in the train and knew her as the girl who lived, he didn't care about his family's status as death eaters and went to befriend her but the Weasel had to come and insult him and his family. Well for Malfoys, family always comes first and he won't tolerate anyone insulting his family so he left without talking to Hayley. Sometimes he can see her looking at him and coming to talk to him but the weasel and granger always take her away.

He was brought out of his thoughts when someone collided into him, he was about to snap and take points for roaming out after curfew but stopped when he saw who it was ,Hayley. She was crying and her eyes were red and puffy and before he can even ask her what happened she ran away and he blinked not understanding what was happening before following her. 

When Draco reached to where she was. Hayley was sitting with knees drawn to her chest and looking out into the night with tears streaming down her cheeks. He just sat there beside her. They didn't talk anything for some time Hayley was the one who broke the silence.

"Do you have the dark mark?"

Draco was startled when she asked that question. Well, yes he has the dark mark but he is proud to have it. The Dark Lord has better ideals than the light side well all except killing Hayley. He didn't want to hide that from her so he just nodded. Hayley just smiled and extended her hand as if asking to show it. He just rolled his sleeve and extended his hand to Hayley. She looked at it with awe and touched it sending sparks to his whole body that he didn't know can happen with a simple touch.

"I want to join the dark side too. Can I join?"

Draco was beaming at her as if Christmas has come early. He always wanted her to join the dark side so that the dark lord won't kill her. He just hugged her and said yes over and over. Hayley was happy for once from when the school started and laid her head on his chest and hugged him back. They stayed like that in each others arms for some time before Draco remembered she was crying.
