Snake hair: serpent secrets (Draco x F!reader) (book 2)

Petrified

It was Saturday today, so that meant Quidditch. I still hadn't fixed a broomstick so I feared that I needed to play on one of the school brooms and honestly, I wasn't happy about it. I shoved my scrambled eggs over my plate and let out a sigh. "Come on, love. You need to eat." Draco looked worried. I was sitting at the Slytherin table, even tough I should be with my team. "I'm not hungry." I shoved my plate away. "Draco's right, (Y/N). You'll need your strength" Blaise interfered. I nodded and pulled my plate back. I slowly started eating, then I noticed that I was really hungry. "I knew you would be hungry." Draco laughed. I heard a soft screech and an owl came flying in. It wasn't mail day, so I knew it was a special delivery. We all looked up and the owl that was flying over was my fathers owl. It had a big package with him. He dropped it and I quickly caught it, before it could hit something. I gently placed it down and took the note that was attached to it. 

Dear (Y/N)

I when you told me about the Bludger accident I felt terrible. So I wanted to give you this. Your mother played Quidditch too in her years and played for the Holyhead Harpies, but stopped when she became pregnant with you. It was passed down her family and now it is yours. I wanted to give it to you your first year, but McGonagall was earlier. And promise me one thing, that you'll come home with the Hogwarts Quidditch cup this year.

Lots of love

I put the note aside and looked at the package. "Well, go on. Open it." Gregory urged. "If you are impatient, you can help." He jumped up and started to unwrap the package. I chuckled at his actions and started helping unwrapping. The wrapping revealed a black broom. The 'sweeping part' had the same shape as the Nimbus 2001 and the tip was purple. 

"That's The Shadow Chaser." I stammered. "But that thing has been lost for a century. How did you get it and from who?" Draco asked. "The note said it was from my mother and that has been passed down her family, apparently my mother played for the Holyhead Harpies, until she became pregnant with me." I answered. "Sorry, I'm missing out. What exactly is a Shadow Chaser?" Vincent asked.

 "The Shadow Chaser is the fastest broom ever made, even faster than the Nimbus 2001. They've been trying to find out the secret from The Shadow Chaser for as long as it exist. There probably will never be a faster broom than The Shadow Chaser." Draco answered. "But (Y/N), that means that you are related to the creator of The Shadow Chaser." Blaise stated.

 I inspected the broom further. On the tip of the wooden part was "S.C" carved in gold letters. Near the end of the wooden part was my mothers name, also in golden letters. I gently brushed my fingers over the letters and it magically turned into my name. "(Y/N)" Stood now in golden letters on the broomstick. After about 5 minutes, the whole Great Hall stood around the Slytherin table, trying to get a glimpse of my Shadow Chaser. Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Samira and Daniel came through the crowd and there jaws dropped when they saw The Shadow Chaser. 

"Is that....." Ron started. "Yes Ron, that's The Shadow Chaser." I answered. "Now we can't lose anymore." Daniel smiled. "Come on Harry, we've got a match to win." I picked up my broom and started walking towards the Quidditch pitch.

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

"Okay, we play our game, Hufflepuff doesn't stand a chance." We were in the tent discussing our game plan. "We're stronger, quicker and smarter." We picked up our brooms and made our way over to the pitch. "Not to mention they're dead scared that (Y/N) will Petrify them If they fly anywhere near her." I turned my head and gave George a glare. 

We were about to enter the pitch when McGonagall came walking down the steps.
"This match has been cancelled." She said. "We can't cancel Quidditch." Oliver protested.
"Silence, Wood. You and your teammates will go to the Gryffindor tower. Now. Potter, Hydra, we will find Mr. Weasley. There is something you have to see."

We started looking around for Ron and eventually found him outside the pitch. Professor McGonagall lead us to the Hospital Wing and before we entered she turned around to us.
"I warn you. This could be a wee bit of shock." We entered and on 3 of the beds lay Hermoine, Samira and Daniel. "Hermoine, Samira, Daniel." I whispered shocked. "They were found near the library. Allong with this." McGonagall held up a small hand mirror. "Does it say anything to you?"
"I gave Hermoine that on our first Christmas. It is a mirror that makes your reflection talk back to you when you feel alone or you just want to let something out. Otherwise it is just a mirror." I told McGonagall and she nodded. 

I carefully touched Hermoine's face. It was stone-cold. I walked over to Daniel and Samira and did the same. They, too, were stone-cold. I kicked the night stand and let myself slide into one of the chairs next to Samira's bed. I placed my head in my hands and fought the urge to cry.
"I promised them I would protect them." I mumbled in my hands. "Don't blame yourself, (Y/N)." Harry said to me. "No Harry, you don't get it. I'm the only one who could protect them against that monster and the one second I look away, they turn up Petrified." I sighted and let my head fall onto Samira's chest.

 "This was my fault."

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

Later that day, all the Gryffindor's were called to the common room. Professor McGonagall entered with a scroll in her hands. She silenced everyone and started reading. "Because of recent events, these new rules will be put into effect immediately. All students will return to their house common rooms by 6:00 every evening. All students will be escorted to each lesson by a teacher. No exceptions." She finished. "I should tell this. Unless the culprit behind these attacks is caught, it is likely the school will be closed." She turned around and left. 

I faced Ron and Harry. "We've got to talk to Hagrid. I can't believe it's him, but if he did set the monster loose last time, he'll know how to get inside the Chamber of Secrets. That's a start." I stated. "But you heard McGonagall. We're not allowed to leave the tower except for class." I looked at Harry. "Harry, I think it's time to get our cloaks out again." 

I'm not gonna let anyone get away with what they have done to Hermoine, Daniel and Samira
