(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you have to say all that!?" (y/n) yells out as she shoves Draco's back when she sees him by the entrance of the Quidditch pitch, him yelping in pain as he stumbles forward.

"That hurt!"

"Damn right it should!" she snaps, the boy turning around with wide eyes to see her red glowing ones and he knew she was still mad about calling Hermione a mudblood.

"I had to-"

"-you had no right! After I asked you not to!"

"I have a reputation to uphold!"

"And you're lucky I'm not stealing it from right under you! I could take it all away from you if I moved to Slytherin! Remember, I'm the all-house girl and Dumbledore has given me the power to switch houses! I can easily take all your friends and power away from you! That broom situation will be the last it's going to be unless you stop calling Hermione a mudblood!" (y/n) yells back at him and he glares at her after she threatens him.

"What because she is!? I'm not lying, it's the truth!"

"They're my friends!" the girl shrieks out angrily, the whole Quidditch pitch suddenly glowing red as it lifts up and drops back down. The kids gasp in shock, stumbling back in slight fear. "Did I...?"

"I think you did..."

"You're still a pompous git!"

"A good-looking git!"

"What? No! You're just a pompous child thinking he's better than everyone!"

"Better looking in the quidditch team!" Draco grins seeing (y/n) flustered again, enjoying that his plan was working. After seeing her get so riled up and angry with her cute puffed cheeks turn red, he wanted to see it again. And maybe she can do something amazing with her powers like she just did before. "Admit it! I looked rather splendid in my uniform, better than Potter." he spits his enemy's name, looking over at the Hufflepuff girl who was just confused.

"What just happened here? Are you trying to get me to say you look better than Harry?"

"And you just did! Saving this moment and I'm never gonna let you live this down!" (y/n) shrills and shoves Draco away when she walks past him, moving to the middle of the pitch where there was equipment set up.

"You're so annoying!" she hisses, the boy quickly catching up to her and tugging on her braid to pull the hair tie out. "DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY!" this was the first time he had ever seen her be so annoyed and angry with anyone to yell out their full name before. It was so amusing to him. He grins as he runs away with her hair tie as she chases after him, forgetting for a hot minute she had powers before the boy yelps when he couldn't feel the ground anymore.

"(y/n), (y/n) don't!" he yelps as she makes him hover before her, a mischievous grin on her face before she sends him flying up while he screams loudly. She jumps up and flies up as well to hover in front of Draco who was curled in a ball thinking he was falling to his death.

"You're such a baby!" he peeks an eye open and sees he was hovering in the sky above the pitch with (y/n) and he lets out a sigh of relief.

"Don't kill me."

"Don't give me ideas." his face pales but eases into a smile seeing (y/n) giggle. "Oh, you should've seen your face!"

"Do you think you can lift the pitch again? That was amazing!"

"I don't know, that was just pure adrenaline and anger."

"Maybe one of the stands?" (y/n) thinks for a bit, aiming her hands at one of the long stands to try and lift it up. The wood cracks and breaks free from the floor as she struggles against the weight, the kids floating back down to the ground for safety so she doesn't drop them. She manages to split apart the stand into tiny pieces of debris, putting it back together and mending it back into place. "I think that's a definitive yes!" Draco claps as (y/n) wring her hands, shaking them.

"Ok, that wasn't too bad. Heavier than the car but I think the week of practising on picking up trees and other things and putting them down helped a lot."

"Just need to focus on pushing." the girl nods, practising on picking up the stand again and trying to move it around or hold it up with her powers as long as she can before she gets tired.

Draco decides that she needs a break, stopping her and letting them lay on the pitch to watch the stars above them. He looks over and sees her staring up intently at the stars, hair flared out against the grass and he passes her hair tie back to her. It drops on her face and (y/n) sighs before thanking Draco. He watches in awe as her hair glows red and she uses her powers to braid it up, her fringe framing her face neatly.

"Convenient." he mutters out.

"I know. I can change clothes with a snap of my fingers too!" she giggles and he chuckles lightly with her. "Let's head back, it's getting cold." Draco nods and stands up, holding a hand out for (y/n) and she takes it as he pulls her up. She bumps into him lightly before quickly taking a step back, cheeks flush from the sudden heat of him. She clears her throat and picks up Draco with her powers, jumping up to hover in the air and cloaking them both before flying back to the castle.

"It looks like curfew isn't on yet. Just made it." he mentions when he still sees a bunch of kids walking around the castle still, (y/n) dropping the two gently in an empty hallway and waving off her powers. Draco walks out of the hallway but looks back in confusion when she didn't follow him. "You coming or what?" she was shocked that he wanted to walk with her, right out in public where everyone could see.

He said he cared about reputation, so why was he doing this now? Draco yawns out lightly, his hands in his pockets as (y/n) walked beside him. She had to burst into short sprints every now and then since he was taller than her and it made him laugh lightly, walking slower for her. She looks up at him with his now messed-up hair that wasn't as gelled before. She had to admit, it looked nicer without being slicked back to his skull. Made him look bald since the boy was as pale as his hair.

"What's going on over there?" Draco mutters out, catching (y/n)'s attention and both kids look at the small group of students forming in front of them. They rush over and see blood writing on the wall with Harry standing in front of it.

'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened... enemies the heir...beware.'

"Harry!? What happened?" (y/n) calls out and he looks at her, confused as to why Draco was with her. A large group of students suddenly appear to see what happened, gasping at the awful scene of Filch's cat dead and strung up against one of the torches on the wall next to the writing.

"'Enemies of the heir beware!' You'll be next, Mudbloods!" (y/n) whips around to look at Draco when she heard those words and sees his goons beside him with an apologetic glance in his eyes.

"Whatcha looking at puff!?" they sneer at her and she sneers back, stomping on each of their foot as they yelp in pain. (y/n) runs off to Hermione, hugging her tight when Filch barged through the crowd to see what was going on.

"You've... murdered my cat!" filled with anger and hurt, Filch blames Harry who shakes his head and tries to tell him it wasn't him.

(y/n) rushes over and pulls Harry out of his grasp. "Mister, the blood is dry... it happened hours ago..." Filch turns around, tearing up that his companion was gone while the Hufflepuff girl pulls the Gryffindor boy away from the grieving staff.

"Thanks (y/n)..." Harry whispers and she gives him a thumbs up. Dumbledore shows up with the teachers, shocked himself by the scene.

" Everyone will proceed to their dormitories immediately. Everyone except... you three." the headmaster points to the golden trio who looks at (y/n) with worry.

"Explain everything to me after." They nod as she gets pulled away by her Hufflepuff prefect to go back to their dorms, coldly shoving past Draco who tried to talk to her.

~~~~~~~~

"So you heard this voice that said it could smell blood and wanted to kill right before you found Filch's cat?" (y/n) asks, processing everything the trio told her after what happened last night. They were sitting on some steps after having breakfast, huddling together to try and make sense of what was going on.

"That's the first time I heard it, yes."

"But who's the heir this voice is talking about?" the Gryffindors shrug at (y/n)'s question.

"We don't know enough." Hermione says.

"But I do know one thing," (y/n) says, summoning a gift box behind her and showing it to Hermione. "your birthday was weeks ago! Why didn't you tell me?"

"(y/n) you didn't have to." Hermione grins, opening up the box to see a gold chain necklace. "It's beautiful!"

"Open it up." the Hufflepuff grins as her friend opens it to reveal a locket with the golden trio group photo she took and one of her parents with her. "I was searching through the SD cards for empty ones and saw this one," she points to the parent's photo. "thought you might like to have the card back too since it has family stuff in it." Hermione pulls the foam up and sees the card sitting neatly at the bottom.

"I love it (y/n)! Thank you!" she hugs her tightly, turning around to let her put it on her.

"You boys didn't even tell me it was Hermione's birthday! Are you trying to make me look like a bad friend?" Ron and Harry grimace under (y/n)'s glare.

"We... forgot too..." Hermione rolls her eyes, not surprised.

"Idiots." both girls exclaim, giggling together.
