Y/n P.O.V

" Serpensortia!" Draco yelled, his wand popped. A huge black snake, a cobra, shot out of the end of his want, flopping heavily onto the floor. Everyone gasps, everyone starts whispering and pointing not knowing what to do. Harry stands there, frightened by the snake before him.

" Don't move Potter," Professor Snape said, annoyed at Harry's lack of movement in this situation. " I'll get rid of it..."

" Allow me!" Professor Lockhart shouted at Snape, annoying him even more. Lockhart walk towards the snake and poised his wand ready. He flicked his wand at the snake and a loud bang, the snake flew into the air and landed back on the ground with a huge smack. It hissed more fiercely and started looking for a victim, it spotted Justin Finch-Fletchley. The snake starts to slither slowly in his direction, causing everyone else to move away except Justin. Justin  stared at the snake wide eyed, his face getting pale. The snake then raises the top half of its body, exposing it's fangs and getting ready to strike him.

Suddenly Harry starts moving towards the snake, not afraid of its presence anymore. He gets closer and closer until he's a meter away. He stared at the snake for a bit before he did anything.

" Hasss hethhhh!" Harry shouted at the snake. The once angry serpent now looks at Harry, becoming docile and still just looking at him. Everyone started freaking out, Harry a Parselmouth? It can't be, surely something happened to make him a Parselmouth. Justin started walking backwards a bit, the snake still staring at Harry intently .Snape stepped forward and waved his wand, making the snake vanish in a small puff of smoke. Harry looks up and smiles at Justin only to find him looking at him angry and scared. Harry's smile dissapeared.

" What do you think you're playing at?" Justin shouted before turning on his heel and running out of the Great Hall. Harry now looked confused. Then the murmuring started, but Harry didnt move. Ron rushed up on stage and practically dragged Harry out of there, Hermione at their heels. Draco steps down from the tiny dueling stage and strode over to me.

" Come on, we're going." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me slightly. I walk up to his speed and walk side by side with him. Ripping my arm out of his grip I look at his face. Confusion and fear are present on his features.

" Draco, is everything alright?" I asked, hoping he would tell me once were in private.

" Yes Y/n, everything is perfectly fine." He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. I sigh and stare at him, waiting for him to continue. " Just... don't go near any of them, any of them." He stressed out what he said, i just nod and agree with him. I knew he ment the ' Golden Trio ', the name that everyone calls Harry, Ron and Hermione.

" Just remember Drac, I'm a Malfoy. They hate my guts, especially that Weasley boy." I try to sound cold and mean like I'm supposed to. Honestly I just want people to stop judging me because I am a Malfoy. 

" Good because I care about you Y/n, and I don't want anyone to hurt you." He said softly since no one was around. I just nod and hug him.

" Don't worry Draco, if anyone hurts me I will tell you straight away. Your my big brother, I love you." I tell him, hoping to cheer him up. He wraps his arms around me and holds me closely, not letting me go for a good minute. Draco's hugs are always the best since I dont get them often. He let's go and straighten his robes.

" Ok Y/n... be careful. I'll see you in the common room later then." He strides off to find Crabb and Goyle I presume. I sigh. I start walking back when I hear a familiar voice. I hide in the door frame.

" --- Now the whole school's going to think you're his great-great-great-great-grandson or something..." Ron's voice echoes around the corridor, even as he whispers.

" But I'm not." Harry whispers back, panic and fear in his quiet words. I start to feel bad for him... since his Dad can't tell him his wizarding background. 

" You'll find that hard to prove," Hermione spoke, " He lived about a thousand years ago... for all we know, you could be..."

Silence. Then echoing footsteps away from the door frame I was standing in.

Rumors and murmuring can be heard everywhere around the school, questions everyone can't find answers to. I keep my distance with ' The Golden Trio ' but nod or wave slightly at Hermione or Harry if our eyes meet, which makes them relax for a second. Ron just glares at me, making me uncomfortable and move on. Everyone parts way for Harry and his friends, and start calling him the Heir of Slytherin. I think he isn't though. He would never hurt a muggle born, especially because he is best friends with the smartest one there is. Any time he passes someone and hears the mis-matched words and mumbling he has a look of sadness and loneliness.

You can here the Weasley twins yelling things like ' Make way for the Heir of Slytherin ' or something, which is making everyone more scared and distant with Harry. His friends are the only ones that talk to him many more, aside from the teachers as well.

In Charms I have Cathryn on my left and Jaxson on my right, practicing our Levitating Charm just a bit more until we move on to something else. Feathers float and rise all around the room, making Professor Flitwick proud. He starts clapping and laughing slightly, making everyone proud and feel accomplished.

" Well done students, very well done. I think you all have managed and perfected the Levitating Charm." Everyone had a look of pride and satisfaction now, " Since we have a couple minutes before next class and the whole class has been working so well you all can have some free time to talk or practice more." He sat down at his desk and a wave of chat rushed into the room. 

" So, how is everyone?" I ask looking from Cathryn to Jaxson, putting my wand away as well as my books. 

" Well I'm good, just a little tense to be honest." Jaxson whispered, causing both Cathryn and I to look at him strange.

" What do you mean?" I say casually, probably already knowing the answer. He looked around the room and du ked his head closer to the both of us girls.

" The Heir of Slytherin." Cathryn gasp slightly, i just shake my head. " I'm a muggle born Y/n, surely you know what that could mean for me." His black hair in a fluffy mess, covering his eyes slightly and making him look like a mad man.

" Yes I know Jaxson but I don't think he is, I mean look at him! He's friends with the biggest muggle born in this school, and the smartest. That happened before the attacks, not recently." They both looked at me with blank expressions, " hmmph, plus if he was wouldn't he have done it last year when know one would expect it? ' Innocent Potter in his first year couldn't PoSsIbLy be the culprit.'"

The bell rings, signalling everyone to get up and go to lunch. We stand up and file out with the rest of the class, heading out to the Great Hall. I feel someone hand wrap around mine and pull it slightly, making my stomach flip. I turn around to see Jaxson holding it. He let's go and continues walking away, I feel something in my hand. I look down and see a folded peice of parchment sitting in the palm of my hand. I'll read this at the table, so I don't loose it now. I think as I put it in my pocket and walk with the crowd.
