These Days (Fred Weasley x OC x Draco)

Chapter 1

                                                      (photo above is the main character, Jean Nott)

Jean Nott usually didn't care to gossip, she kept things to herself. For example, why her favorite teacher Remus Lupin left all of a sudden last year. Or why Snape is always out at night. She never really hung out with the golden trio to be a part of things like saving the school every year, and she didn't bully kids with Draco and his gang.

She was pretty popular among Ravenclaw's, and had a good amount of friends. But sometimes it felt like everyone else was living in some dramatic movie while she was on the side watching.

As luck may have it, she always seemed to be in the right place at the wrong time. Whether it be giving a letter to Dumbledore while he's talking quietly to Harry Potter about some shady business, or currently right now, where she stands in front of Bartemius Crouch Junior (also known as Barty), who just finished lighting fire to the colorful tents that were once used to celebrate the Quidditch World Cup. 

She didn't mean to run off from her friends, but once the fire spread and the screaming overwhelmed her, she lost them in the crowd.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" 'Barty' stared her down. Jean freezes in fear.

"You...you're Bartemius Crouch....i...won't say anything, i promise!" she pleads, scared about what is going to happen next

"Liar! I know you're kind! You're a Mud blood lover, aren't you?!" 

"so what if I am?" Jean was feeling brave when she shouldn't have, she didn't have her wand, and no one around them to protect her

"The dark lord will consider your life as a sacrifice for his work! Avada ked-". Just as Barty points his wand at the frightened girl, someone shout out a spell and it hits the death eater in front of her, making Barty fall to the ground, he groans and gets up, running away just in time.

"Are you alright?" She hears a voice from behind her, she turns around and sees none other than the famous Harry potter, with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley standing closely behind him, all looking at the ravenclaw girl in front of them.

"Yeah..im okay...thankyou..im-"

"Jean nott, we know" hermione retorts.

"How do you know?" Jean questions the girls

"You're the first Ravenclaw in your bloodline. It was quite a shock i might say, you're family is almost as famous as the malfoy's"

'Wow, i guess hermione did research on me' Jean thought to herself

"Yeah and you're dad is a bloody death ea-" Ron starts to say but Harry quickly elbows him in the stomach, shutting him up.

Jean looks at the trio, confused on what's going.

"The death eaters attacked all of the muggles here, it's not safe Jean, i would recommend you to find your family and go home" Harry smiles politely

"Okay....I'll see you guys at school..." Jean awkwardly waves goodbye at the three and leaves, heading to her home, dreading seeing her family.

Now, it isn't like she didn't love her parents, she did. They gave her everything she ever wanted. In return she just ignored when her father left in the middle of the night, and how her mother loved her younger brother more than her. 

Sometimes she wonders what would have happened if she got sorted into Slytherin like everyone else in her pureblood family for the past 1000 years. She wasn't like them though.

Being a rich pureblood family, of course her parents and the Malfoys we're close, even though she didn't like to play with the Malfoy boy who would always call her names and kick mud on her perfect white shoes. She would have rather wanted to play tag with the house elves or help them bake. 

But her parents forced her to be nice to him, and he was kind but as soon as she was sorted into Ravenclaw he completely ignored her. And that was that, she didn't want it any other way.

As soon as she got to her cold dark manor, she immediately went to her room, not caring to say hello to her family, getting ready for her fourth year at Hogwarts
