Request: Hi, may I ask you to write imagine to the Harry Potter Fandom? Reader and Draco Malfoy, where the reader is the only Hufflepuff in her family where all is Slytherin and sometimes people tease her for it. Draco also teases her, but in one day the reader realizes that she is tired of all this and show Draco his place. Draco only begins to tease more and doesn't notice how he falls in love with her. This annoy him greatly at the beginning, but then, when he get Death eater's mark, reader becomes the only one who will support him and help to move on.
Warning: angst, swearing and bullying
It's your fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and honestly speaking, You can't wait to get the hell out of here.
While everyone is enjoying this magical and wonderful school, this has been your inferno for five years now. Why? It's because they treated you like shit. Yeah, It's really hard to be the only Hufflepuff in the family. But what's wrong with it? You don't seems to know why they're all bullying you for being in the most sweetest and loyal house of all.
Your family has been a Slytherin for hundreds of years and even your siblings are sorted in Slytherin and you're the only one who's been sorted to other house.
This has been your issue for the whole year, even if the other teachers says that it's alright to be different because you all have different attitudes, still you receive nothing to the students but disgust.
And you know what makes this worst? Draco Malfoy.
You just don't see the point why he's always teasing you, You don't even know each other at all. But because of always mocking you and taunting you, you instantly knew him. A Pathetic being that doesn't have anything to do with his life so he like to interfere with yours.
You're currently walking down the hall towards your common room when someone knock you down and your book now laying on the ground with you.
"If it isn't the black sheep of the family," You look at the speaker and saw Draco smirking at you.
In this case, you will just pick up the books and just don't mind what he will say to you because who are you to fight Draco Malfoy? not even your friends at Hufflepuff will help you from Malfoy, If you even have one.
"Why don't you talk black sheep? Is it because your family hates you?" That snapped your patience.
"I don't care about you Malfoy! I don't care about your opinion and anything that comes out of your foul mouth! Why don't you meddle with your own life rather than butt into someone's business!" You walk out and went to you common room leaving Draco and the rest of students who saw how you roasted him.
After a few days Draco don't really stop from teasing you, You can now admit that he's a complete asshole and you just don't mind because you're done giving shit about anything.
Draco on other hand, is just watching you from afar. Admiring your hair and the way you read your book, It's just amazing. You're amazing. He can't admit to you nor to himself that he's now falling for you. He can't fall for a person like you. But what can he do? you're just imperfectly perfect to him. Damn, he can't control himself, you become his kryptonite, his source of weakness. But he can't show it to all, he may ruined his reputation.
So in order to avoid his feelings for you, he always makes fun of you and any negative things that can turn himself off. This continues until the end of your Fifth year.
In your Sixth year, however, everything changed. Draco rarely insult you which is not in his nature. You will encounter him in the hallway but he will just stare at you and then leave like your some sort of air. Just like now, Your walking down the hall towards your next class and you saw him, alone.
"That's odd." You muttered to yourself because you never saw him alone, his friends are always walking with him finding students to bully.
You push your thoughts aside then walk into the next class.
Potions is one of your favorite subject. And Professor Slughorn is doing really well but nothing beats Professor Snape in terms of being strict. Of course Professor Slughorn has a favorite student, Harry Potter. Who wouldn't like Harry? he's nice and sweet and he doesn't bully anyone. Unlike Malfoy, I think he's bullying everyone here in Hogwarts even the students in higher year didn't escape from his contemptuous attitude.
"Hey," Someone said behind you, "You're Y/n, Right?" You turn around and saw the famous boy, Harry.
"Yes, I am. Is there anything I can help you with?" You asked.
"Oh yeah, I—I just want to ask if you'd like, I mean if you just want it, It's alright if you don't, I—"
"Just say it." You said, cutting him.
"I want to ask if you'd like to study with me." You never expect to be asked by Harry for a study date, Well technically it's not an actual date because it's just involved studying, nothing romantic.
"Oh, Yeah sure! When?" You asked and he smiled.
"Tomorrow? Are you okay with that?" You nodded and you both smiled to each other and focus on Professor Slughorn who is now discussing about Felix Felicis or the Liquid Luck which gives the drinker lucky.
"Oh, I wish I drank that potion when I'm at the sorting ceremony. So that I would have sorted to Slytherin and avoided all the things that's happening to me now." You thought to yourself.
After a few hours of brewing the Felix Felicis, Harry is the only one who had done it well. You walk toward him," I really don't think that you need to study with me. Clearly, You've done well that I did."
He chuckled and replied, "Please, That's just a pure luck, like the potion itself. Please come to the library tomorrow?" He gave you a pleading eyes.
"Alright! Alright! I'll come, just because you gave me those puppy eyes." You both laugh.
You went out of the classroom and now walking to where your feet would take you. You found yourself in a empty hallway. Your favorite spot in Hogwarts. Because here no one can tease you about being the only one in the family who didn't sorted to Slytherin. Here no Draco Malfoy to bugged you. Here you can find peace.
You admire the quiet place, when suddenly you heard footsteps. It belongs to him, Draco. You observe him carefully. He have bags under his eyes, he's much paler than usual, he looks exhausted like he has not sleeping for days.
You drag your feet slowly and so is him. Your eyes met him and you felt that he want to tell you everything that's being going on him. You didn't noticed that you're now a foot apart.
You muster all your courage and asked him, "What happened to you?"
Out of nowhere, He just hugged you tightly. He embrace you like he doesn't like you to go, like he want you to stay, with him. Not knowing what to do, you just return the hug.
"I'm scared." he whispered to you sobbing. Wait, is he crying?
"What's wrong, Draco?" You asked.
"If i told you, You will hate me." He continue to cry on your shoulder soaking your robes with his tears.
"Shh... It's okay. You can tell me anything."
He broke the hug and look at you in the eyes, "I've been meaning to tell you this, I love you, since I knew what love is," He look down, "But now, I'm a monster. No one can love me." Your mouth went agape because of his confession to you.
He lifted his wrist and remove his long sleeve revealing a mark, The Dark Mark of a Death Eater.
You gasped and look at him, "You're a—"
"I understand if you're scared of me," You pulled him into a hug.
"No matter what happens, I will always be here for you. I know you don't have anyone else to hold on. I know that feeling. And I don't want you to feel like you're alone. Because I'm here now. I got you."
"Thank you. I don't know what to do without you."
