Snake Charmer // Draco x Reader

Chapter 79- A Blame, A Warning, A fight, and a Injury

McGonagall and Snape repeatedly shift their attention from the necklace to the four repeated offenders of being sucked into everyone else's drama. And now Leanne. "You're sure Katie did not have this in her possession when she entered the Three Broomsticks?" McGonagall asks.

"It's like I said. She left to go to the loo.
And when she came back, she had the package," Leanne recounts, "She said it was important that she deliver it."

"Did she say to whom?" McGonagall asks.

"To Professor Dumbledore," Leanne says.

"Very well. Thank you, Leanne. You may go," McGonagall says. Leanne leaves then McGonagall looks to us with mild disappointment and disbelief. "Why is it
when something happens, it is always you four?"

"Believe me, Professor, I've been asking myself
the same question for six years," Ron says. I smirk.

"Same," I say.

"Oh, Severus," McGonagall says as sees Snape using his wand to levitate the necklace. Observing it to understand the situation. "What do you think?"

"I think Ms. Bell is lucky to be alive," Snape says. I start to fiddle with my bracelet nervously. Who would have done this? And why now?

"She was cursed, wasn't she?" Harry asks, "I know Katie. Off the Quidditch pitch, she wouldn't hurt a fly."

"She had to be," I say, "especially If she was delivering that to Professor Dumbledore, she wouldn't do it knowingly."

"Yes, she was cursed," McGonagall says. Both of them still not looking at us. But staring at the necklace. Harry looks to me and sighs.

"It was Malfoy." I look over to the boy as the word Malfoy leaves his mouth. He's taking their whole petty shit to far. I mean accusing him of cursing Katie? He would never hurt someone like that on purpose. Yeah I'll admit he'll say some mean things, but never going as far as to cursing.

"That is a very serious accusation, Potter," McGonagall says as she turns to us. Snape follows.

"Indeed," Snape says, "Your evidence?"

"I just know," Harry says.

"Knock it off Harry this is serious," I say sternly.

"I am being serious," he says, "I just know he did it."

"You 'just' know," Snape says in disbelief of Harry's stupidity. "Once again, you're astonished with your gifts, Potter. Gifts mere mortals can only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to be the Chosen One." McGonagall looks at Snape wanting to say something but knowing he was right.

"Mr. Malfoy was not in Hogsmeade today," McGonagall says.

"We already knew that," I huff at Harry.

"How do you know, Professor?"

"Because he was doing detention with me. He has now failed to complete his Transfiguration homework twice in a row. So, thank you for telling me your suspicions, Potter," she says as she marches past us. "but I need to go up to the hospital wing now to check on Katie Bell.
I suggest you go back to your dormitories, All of you." I turn and march out. Harry and the others following behind me.

"I can't believe the audacity of you!" I scream as I march away from him. He grabs my wrist stopping me. As I look back I take note of the empty corridor around us. Then turn to him. Using my free arm to smack him. He steps back in shock while I yank my arm away. "Draco has put all of your stupid arguments behind him because he sees how much you guys mean to me and none of you care enough to do the same!"
