and his name was malfoy

Year 1: 7

Year 1
The Philosopher's Stone

A few weeks had passed when Y/N, Draco and the rest of the gang were sat happily at eating their dinner when Professor Quirrell burst through the doors screaming,

"TROLL IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!"

The room fell silent and all eyes were on Quirrell as he lowered his volume,

"Thought you ought to know."

Screaming students jumped up from their seats, panicking and fussing until Dumbledore silenced them:

"Silence! Everyone will please not panic. Now, prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons."

The students scurried out of the door following their prefects, but Y/N grabbed onto Draco's wrist and whispered,

"Malfoy, wait!"

He turned to her, clearly panicked and whisper-shouted,

"What do you want!?"

She pulled him away from the group and hid down one of the empty corridors before asking,

"Why on earth would we go back to our dormitories at a time like this!?"

Draco scrunched his eyebrows at her,

"Because there's a troll in the dungeon! We need to get back to-"

"And where's our common room, Malfoy?"

"In the dungeon...?"

It took Draco a couple of moments before he realised what she was getting at,

"Oh!"

"Exactly! Why would Dumbledore send us back to the slytherin dormitories when the troll is in the same area!?"

Draco shook his head in irritation,

"Wait until my father hears about this!"

Y/N sighed,

"We need to find somewhere to hide, quickly! We'll be in so much trouble if one of the teachers finds us!"

The children snuck into an empty classroom and sat on the tops of some of the desks.

They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, deep in thought, but their hearts were still beating out of their chest thinking of the possibility of the troll finding them.

Draco looked over at his friend, observing her momentarily before asking,

"What about Parkinson? Why didn't you stop her from going back, too?"

"I... didn't have enough time to get you both."

"So, why didn't you bring her? Isn't she your best friend?"

Y/N scrunched her face,

"Don't be daft, Malfoy. You're my best friend."

A smile crept onto his lips as he muttered,

"Well, yes, I knew that."

She smiled back and playfully shook her head,

"Oh, Malfoy, you seriously-"

They were interrupted by a loud crashing sound echoing through the corridor, the children jumped down from their desks and searched the room for a hiding place, both petrified.

Draco noticed the storage cupboard and grabbed Y/N's hand, pulling her in after him and shutting the door- they stood facing each other, but were barely able to see one another's faces, the only light coming from the tiny crack in the door.

They were both panting loudly, Y/N clasped a hand over her mouth, trying to remain quiet, but all she could hear was Draco's heavy breathing- she slapped her other hand over his mouth and they both stood there in an uncomfortable silence as the noise from outside grew quieter.

Once it had been silent for a reasonable amount of time, they slowly crept out of the cupboard and sat in the classroom until they noticed teachers roaming the corridors again.

They made their way back to the slytherin common room and sat beside their friends.

Pansy turned to Y/N,

"Where on earth were you two?"

Y/N and Draco glanced at each other, coming to a mutual agreement simply through eye contact as Y/N replied,

"Right before everyone was sent back to their common rooms, I went to the toilet, and unlike you, Malfoy came looking for me."

She blinked a few times before protesting,

"You didn't leave!"

But Y/N folded her arms and replied,

"So where did you think I was just now, Parkinson?"

"I-"

Draco interrupted Pansy's excuse,

"Yeah, Parkinson, I thought Skywynne was your best friend?"

Pansy stood up, irritated, and stormed towards the girl's dormitories.

As she left, Draco shot Y/N a grin and winked playfully, she smiled back, knowingly.

The common room grew emptier and Draco looked around before yawning,

"I'm going to bed."

Crabbe and Goyle stood up to follow him and Draco nodded to Y/N and smiled,

"Goodnight, Skywynne."
