is that all i am to you? (harry potter x reader)

"whats your deal malfoy"

•••y/n pov•••

"psst n/n, we're here" neville whispered as he shakes his shoulder

i shoot up and clean off the drool on my face. i'm not really the brightest when i wake up so i stay silent until we finally reach the great hall. my least favorite part

sitting with the slytherins isn't always the best. i don't get along with most of them other than blaise. i hear pansy and draco snickering as neville brings me a small purple flower from the green house

i smile and bring him into a hug "thank you nev, it's beautiful"

"oi! l/n, why do you hang out with longbottom"

i shoot my head around to see ferret boy, draco malfoy

"what's your deal malfoy" i spat back

"just wondering what a bitch like you is doing talking to a kiss-up like him."

"excuse me" i feel my fists clench. if there's one thing i hated more than sitting here it would be draco bullying neville

"you heard me. what does he do for you, he's a wuss, soft neville wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone hand out with a slytherin bitch like you"

i stand up, and punch him right in the nose, he stumbles back

"say one more thing about neville and i swear to merlin it would be the last thing you'll ever say"

"he's a-"

before he could finish his sentence, i lunge at him, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly throw punches. i ignore nevilles calls because malfoy deserves this. no one bullies neville in front of me and gets away

just as i was about to hit again i get yanked off, i cant see who it is but i turn my head a little to the side to see those perfectly emerald eyes. harry james potter.

i struggle to break free but he squeezes tighter and whispers in my ear

"i suggest you stop making a scene and come with me to find neville"

i finally come to my senses. neville. he's scared. i stop trying to break free and harry finally places me back on my feet

i freak out "where'd he go. harry please tell me you say which way he went"

he sighs and grabbed my hand, our hands intertwining. they fit together perfectly? like they were made for each other...nonsense.

••••••

we finally reach the gryffindor common room, as soon as the fat lady swings open i sprint in to see neville hugging his knees in a red armchair

i kneel down and grab his hands

"nev, it's me, it's n/n"

he looks up and pulls me into a hug. his eyes are bloodshot red

"y/n...what were you doing, it was bloody horrible to watch"

is he...no he can't be...is he scared of me now?

"neville i had to, i cant just let him talk about you like that and just get away with it"

he pulls back from the hug and stares at me and then my hands. he backs up. he's never seen this side of me. fuck. he's scared.

"y-y/n i gotta go" he chokes out as more tears roll down his cheek.

"neville i-i come back" by the time the words leave my mouth, he's gone. i fall to my knees. i sob. neville, my brother, is scared of me, what have i done.

i feel a hand touch my shoulder.

fuck. harrys still here. i forgot where i was.

"y/n..."

my e/c meet his beautiful emerald ones. why isn't he scared of me too.

he lifts me from my sitting position and pulls me into a friendly hug. i cant help but sob into his shoulder. we weren't close but i needed the comfort right now.

"harry, what do i do. he's scared of me. i mean look at me" i glance down to my bruised and bloody knuckles

he grabs both my hands in his.

"just give him some time. you did something everyone else was scared to do. he'll come back to you i promise. and as for these," he examines my hands "let's get them cleaned up"

•••harrys pov•••

i pull them up to my dorm to get bandages to wrap their knuckles. they whine and close their eyes and i gently clean the cuts with alcohol.

"not used to this huh" i ask trying to distract them from the burning

"no, i never really act like this, i-i don't know what came to me" a single tear left their eye

"hey, it's okay, he'll come back around" i whisper as i pull them into a hug

i didn't realize what i did until i feel their hands wrap around me.

"i need to go find him, thank you, for you know" y/n giggled and looked down at their hands

"don't worry about it"

"i owe you one potter" they said as they kissed my cheek before leaving my dorm

did they just...blimey.
