We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

5| Halloween

Y/N POV

"Wingardium leviosaa," Draco tried to cast a spell on the feather but failed. And yes, I started calling him Draco because he forced me to write it on the agreement. To lessen the suspicion of other people, I started calling everyone by their first name too.

I was sitting in Professor Flitwick class. Today's lesson was about the levitation spell. I didn't see what's so special about this spell. I swished my wand in a random direction without saying the spell.

"It's leviosa, not leviosar," Hermione said to Ron.

"You do it then if you're so clever. Go on, go on," he challenged.

I found this very amusing so I watched them. As expected from Hermione, she successfully cast the levitation spell. Flitwick complimented her and I could see that Ron was quite pissed by that. If I had to make a friend here, Hermione would be my first choice. It didn't matter if she was a muggle-born. I judged most people by their talent, not their blood status.

I approached Hermione after the class was dismissed. She was quite friendly and charming. She told me so much about the muggle world as soon as I said my parents were having a holiday there. She even lent me a muggle book. Honestly, she had been the nicest girl I had met since I arrived at Hogwarts.

"Oh look who's here," Draco said from behind. I was a little surprised, I didn't know he was still waiting for me.

"Are you hanging out with a mud–"

"Ah, thanks for the book Hermione, I gotta go now," I said pulling Draco away with me.

I knew what he was trying to say in front of Hermione. It was a very rude word to describe a muggle-born.

"What was that?" I yelled when we came to a quiet corridor.

"I'm just stating the truth Y/N. She's a mudblood, you shouldn't be hanging around her. What would people think? A Richards playing around with a mudblood?" He explained.

"I don't care what people think. Blood rank isn't everything Draco. She's way smarter than us, it's the talent that matters to me."

He sighed knowing that he wouldn't win an argument with me or he was just too afraid to lose some of his too-much-gel hair.

"Let's just go have lunch. I'm starving," I groaned then he led the way as I walked by his side. Honestly, Draco sometimes acted more like a babysitter or a brother than a friendly protector to me.

•••

Hogwarts was celebrating Halloween and we got to eat so many candies at dinner. I took this opportunity to eat as many sweets as I wanted. Who doesn't like sweets anyway?

"Looks like it's your first time seeing sweets," Draco laughed.

"My parents never allow me to eat more than 2, so I see this as a fortunate event to eat more," I said as I took some sweets in. Draco laughed at my statement, but I knew he was as excited as me about all these sweets.

"What a surprise that a wealthy family like the Richards can't even afford to buy more than 2 sweets for their only daughter," Pansy spatted.

I glared at her. No, I shouldn't waste my time to deal with her. So I ignored her and continued with my sweets.

I thought everything would be fine once I ignored her. It was the opposite, she was pissed because I didn't give a damn about what she just said and now she was trying to go on my nerves again.

"Hey Daphne, I just found out that there's a blood traitor in our house," Pansy started. Daphne didn't say a word but she kept going.

"I saw her talking with a mudblood after Professor Flitwick's class."

I turned my head to her while trying so hard not to snap at her. She looked so confident with that smug smile on her face.

"And who would that be?" I asked.

"You, blood traitor!" She yelled. Just to be clear, we were still in the great hall filled with a lot of students. Some students began to look in our direction, it was a complete humiliation to me.

I was gonna say something, a remarkable comeback to be precise. Unfortunately, Draco, who thought it would be the right time to try defending me, interrupted me.

"Don't call her that. She's not a blood traitor!" he argued.

Pansy looked away in disappointment. She wouldn't be able to argue with Draco, correction, she wouldn't dare to be hated by Draco. She fancied him too much, I could see it in her eyes. Pitiful, if I had to say.

I mumbled thanks to him even though I didn't feel like saying so. I never asked for his help.

"Next time, let me do it by myself. I can pretty much defend myself from your lunatic fan like her."

He chuckled a little and we continued eating the dinner and sweets. I never knew that Halloween could be this much fun. If only it was ended with a peaceful night to sleep, it would've been perfect.

"Troll in the dungeon!!!" Professor Quirrel came and screamed. He got everyone's attention. I panicked a little while Draco was trying to act tough.

"Thought you ought to know," he said before passing out. For a second the hall was quiet and then everyone started to freak out!

As soon as Draco screamed beside me, I completely freaked out and joined him screaming in fear.

"SILENCE," Dumbledore shouted and everyone suddenly stopped in their track. He told us not to panic, which wasn't helping at all and asked the prefects to lead us to our dorms. Teachers were told to follow him to find the troll.

I walked beside Draco while holding on to the hem of his robe in a pack of Slytherin. I thought Hogwarts was supposed to be a child-safe place and now we had a troll hanging around the castle. What could I say?

"Thank Lord, I have someone to actually protect me," I whispered to Draco. He stayed in silence.

"You screamed like a girl."

It was probably not the best time to tease him. It was just, I was the kind of person to make fun of something in a crisis to keep me sane sometimes.

"Said someone who's holding so tight to my robe right at this very moment. Careful, you may tear it apart," he chuckled lightly. I wasn't annoyed by this, in fact, I was smiling and kept my pace steady.

I felt like someone was glaring at me when I talked to Draco earlier. I looked to my other side before I turned to my back finding the suspect. Of course, it was Draco's number one lunatic admirer, Pansy Parkinson.

"This is nice," I said to Draco while my head hadn't turned away from Pansy. I sent her a smirk as I moved closer to Draco. I could tell that she was really pissed at my action. I couldn't understand what she saw in him to make her fancy him that much.

"Now what?" Draco asked confused cause I was obviously walking too close to him.

"Nothing, just making sure my protector does his job to the fullest," I smiled at him. I had just made a mortal enemy.
