Draco Malfoy Imagines

Sealed Shut [Pt. 1]

thanks to DarkMagicLady for suggesting this! ^-^ i added my own little twist though.

{draco's pov}

Blaise flicks my shoulder to get my attention and as I look over, he nods his head towards someone walking in the opposite direction of us. I smirk.

"Say nothing if you're an idiot." I know, it was a childish joke, but it worked, (Y/n) didn't say anything. She can't.

(Y/n) is probably the only mute person in all of Hogwarts and seeing as she's unable to fight back or tell teachers, I of course would use this opportunity to make fun of her. It's cruel I know but I can't help it. I'm Draco Malfoy, goddamnit!
Though my name shouldn't really be an excuse for such vile actions.

I ignore the thought and continue walking, of course not missing (Y/n)'s depressed expression as I pass. I'm not the only one that makes fun of her. And there's no one standing up for her. The most she gets is a pitiful look as someone laughs in her face. She doesn't have any friends and is always by herself.

I stop in my tracks as I hear yelling. I turn around along with Blaise and we both head towards the sound.

"I don't even know why you're allowed in this school!"

Pansy.

Her and her flock have trapped (Y/n) in a corner and she's spitting vile words in her face.

"Just leave you have no use here! No friends and I bet no family!" She screams. "How did they let you into Hogwarts they should expel you! If not we'll do our best to make sure you never get in anyone's way!"

No one does anything. Just watch as Pansy screams and (Y/n) lets out silent tears. "Okay Pansy that's enough." I say.

"Draco hunny, you don't understand my intentions. I'm being truthful about this, all you do is try get a good kick out of it. Have fun. I'm telling the truth and saying what's on everyone else's minds. Everyone agrees with me!" She yells in my face. "Everyone always wonders why (Y/n) is allowed to even walk these halls!"

There's a huge crowd around her yet no one is agreeing. "Pansy just step away from her."

"No! Why don't we ask her? (Y/n), do you want me to step away?"

"Hey now! That's just cruel you know she can't speak!" I yell at Pansy.

"Which is why I'm still wondering why she's still here! Get out of Hogwarts or just kill yourself!" She screams at (Y/n).

(Y/n) was shaking badly from fear and tears. Yet of course she was unable to produce any form of sound.
I clench my fists in anger and instantly feel bad for everything I've done to (Y/n).

"(Y/n)!"  Pansy screeches. "Say yes if you don't want us to pour this on you!" I look over and see some of her minions holding large bowls of water, her too.

(Y/n)'s eyes widen and Pansy shrugs, spilling water over her hair and robes. Before any of the other girls could do anything, I push her away and drag (Y/n) away.

"Blaise! Hold Pansy back so the bitch doesn't follow!" I yell behind me. I see Blaise doing as told as I run down the hall with (Y/n) dragging behind.

Finally I find a spot with no one around and move her in front of me. "Hey are you okay?" I ask. She obviously wasn't. She was shivering from the water and I can see her visibly cower at the sight of me. Probably scared I'd do something to her.

"(Y/n) it's okay I won't hurt you." I say. "I'm sorry about Pansy. She's such a bitch!" I groan. "But... I should most likely be apologising for my actions. I'm an idiot. Just because I'm Draco Malfoy doesn't mean I can act like that towards you." I can see (Y/n) relax a little. "Do you perhaps wanna take that off?" I ask, pointing to her soaked robes. She nods and slowly takes it off, leaving her in her shirt which is now kind of see through because of the water, but I try not to look down.

"It's okay, Draco."

"No it isn't okay I shouldn't act li-wait..." I freeze as I stare at (Y/n) dumbfounded. "Y-you can speak?"

She nods. "Yeah. I was never unable to speak." Her voice is soft and quiet.

"W-why did you never speak before? Why did you let us make fun of you like that?"

(Y/n) shrugs. "I was never good at speaking. I was always shy. Besides... before I started Hogwarts I was used to not speaking."

"What do you mean by that?" I ask.

"Well... my family don't like me speaking. They would... punish... me if I did." She shrugs as if it's nothing.

"Why would they do such a thing?"

She shrugs. "It's weird, I got punished for speaking... but here I get punished for not speaking, haha." Her laugh was completely fake and I could tell.

"(Y/n) I had no idea." I whisper.

"No one did." She sighs. "But oh well. Also please... don't tell anyone I... spoke..."

"Why? They'll just keep bullying you." I raise my brow at her odd request.

"And they'll bully me more if they find out I used to have family issues and didn't speak for the first few years of Hogwarts."

"Yeah true." She sighs and begins to walk off. "Wait!" I grab her arm. "Can I... can I at least protect you or something? I mean I don't want this happening to you and I don't think people would go near you if I was there."

"Wouldn't you ruin your reputation or something?"

"So? I care more about your health than my reputation."

"What made you all of a sudden care for me?"

"We all have family issues but we all had someone there." I sigh. "You don't and I wanna give you someone."

Her eyes widen at my words. "A-are you sure?"

"Yes (Y/n)! And don't worry your secret safe with me...
My mouth is sealed shut."
