Royals (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 46

Not on speaking terms

(Name) decided to sit with the Gryffindors for dinner that night, she sat between Harry and Ron, Hermione sat across from her. "(Name) I have to tell you some--" Harry began and Ron glared at him, the boy was cut off by Dumbledore. ". And now the moment you've all been waiting for, the selection of the champion's!" Dumbledore approaches the blue flame and it glows red. A name comes out. Everyone looks on anxiously "The Dumbstrang champion is Viktor Krum!" The Durmstrang crowd cheer. Another name comes out "The Beauxbatons champion... Fleur Delacour!" The Beauxbatons girl cheers as Fleur walks up and shakes Dumbledore hand smiling proudly. "The Hogwarts champion... Cedric Diggory." The Great Hall erupted into cheers "Go Cedic!" the (h/c) girl shouted as she stood with her friends clapping loudly. "Excellent! we now have our three champions! But in the end, only one will go down in history. The only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this vessel of victory the tri-wizard cup!" Dumbledore shouted and everyone cheered. The globet glowed red again "Harry Potter" he muttered "Harry Potter!" He shouted and Harry sunk into (Name)'s arms trying to hide, Hermione roughly pushed him forward. Harry slowly walks up. Dumbledore gives him the paper. Voices in the crowd shout out. "He's a cheat" "He's not even seventeen!". The trio looked at each other in fear, what was to become of their friend?

(Name) stood with Harry quietly, the silence was comfortable for both of them, Harry didn't have Ron giving out and (Name) didn't have to listen to people calling Harry names. An owl flew towards the duo who sat quietly against the wall, (Name) rubbing soothing circles on Harry's back. "Harry. I couldn't risk sending Edward. It was since the world cup and the ministry's been intercepting more and more owls and she's too easily recognised. We need to talk, Harry. Face to face. Meet me in the Gryffindor common room at one o clock this Saturday night and make sure you're alone. P.S...." Harry begins to read but is cut off my the owl biting his finger "the bird bites!" he finishes and (name) shooed the bird off the boy's finger and giggled "(Name) I have to tell you--" the boy is cut off once again by a boy stomping up the stairs "(Name) I must talk to you!" a mop of ginger hair appears and grabs the girls wrist "I'm sorry Harry! Tell me later?" she calls as she disappears around the corner "I like you.." Harry mutters watching Ron pull hr down the stairs. "What is wrong Ron?" she questioned as the boy let go of her "I have to tell you something!" he begins and Hermione appears around the corner "(Name)! help, I don't understand this question!" Hermione grabs the girls wrist and pulls her off towards the library "I'm sorry Ron!" she calls as her hair swishes behind her. The girl sat with Hermione and began to explain the question and answer to Hermione "The false memory charm is a spell which can be used by a witch or wizard to add a memory to their victim's mind without the victim realising it wasn't originally theirs. It differs from the Memory Charm 'obliterate' in that the latter erases memories whilst this one adds them." (Name) explained and Hermione who nodded, before the two knew it, it was dark. "Hermione. I must go to bed I'm simply exhausted... Please come to me tomorrow if you need more help" (Name) smiled as she stood up and exited the library, the halls were quiet as she walked, her footsteps echoing through the walls. She was staring at the pile of books in her arms that she had just taken from the library and whacked into someone's chest, she fell to the floor. "Oh I'm sorry!" a voice called and she peered up, the Hufflepuff boy, Cedric Diggory stood in front of her and offered a hand. She grasped it and he pulled her up "completely my fault!" she smiled brightly "congratulations on being a champion! you're so brave!" she continued "I'm kind of stared, I was told recently about what happened at the last one!" the boy's eyes were wide as he thought about what happened at the previous Triwizard tournament." (Name) rested her hand on his arm and smiled "you'll be fine!" she grinned and the two began to make small talk "I'll walk you back to the common room! Hogwarts is dangerous for a pretty girl such as yourself" Cedric announced and (name) laughed shaking her head "No! don't be so silly! I'll be fine!" she insisted and Cedric shook his head "no come on!" he took her books from her arms and they began to walk towards the Slytherin common room slowly. They stood in front of the large stone wall "pure-blood" (name) spoke and the walls slid open, Cedric handed her the books "what a rather odd password" he muttered and (name) nodded "yes terribly rude!" she smiled at him one last time before entering the common room and making her way to bed.

{Name's pov}

I sat down by the lake with Harry and Neville, the latter was standing in the water his school pants rolled to his knees "amazing! amazing!" he muttered to himself and I laughed "you're doing it again" Harry called "sorry sorry!" Neville replied wading around in the water. Harry picked up a book that rested beside him and picked it up, I inched closer to try gt a look, My face inches from Harry's who flushed red "Magical water plants of the highland lochs?" I read looking over at Neville who smiled "Moody gave it to me. That day we had tea." I nodded at the boy's answer, he began to waver and Hermione and Ron came into view "hello!" I beamed at my friends, who smiled back at me and Ron glared at Harry. "did I miss something?" I questioned whispering into Harry's ear and he shuddered "ill tell you later" as he stood and helped me up, "We've already been through enough people why don't you just go and do it yourself? Ughh. What do you want me to say again?" Hermione whispered to Ron who continued to glare at  Harry, he leaned closer to Hermione and whispered into something into her ear and she groaned, it was rather clear now that the two boys weren't on speaking terms, Hermione inched closer to us "Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid was looking for you." she spoke quickly and I was just as confused as Harry was. "is that right? wait... what?" Harry asked and Hermione rolled her eyes and walked back to Ron who whispered something to her again "Dean was told by Parvati that... Please don't ask me to say it again. Hagrid's looking for you." she was very clearly pissed off, "well you can tell Ronald.." Harry began "shes not an owl!" I hissed at the two boys, "neither of you speak to me or Hermione until you make up!" I growl grabbing Hermione and stomped off.
