My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.

If I said no id loose all trust in Harry, but if I said yes...what would my friends do?

"U-um, well...we um-"

"We're not friends Malfoy, I just need to tell her something"

I was shocked, a little pissed off that he just bluntly said that he basically doesn't like me but mostly shocked.

"S-see Draco?, it's fine"

"Fine"

"O-okay"

Why was he so protective, I mean it was nice but...why?

Harry then took me outside the hall.

"What do you want?"

"I think your father is coming back"

"W-W-what?!"

"I know what you think but hear me out...do you know what the philosophers stone is?"

"Y-yeah I vaguely remember reading about it"

"I think your father wants it to come back and be immortal with the help of Snape"

"Why Snape?!"

"I think the stone is hidden in the castle, and I think Snape is trying to get it"

"N-no"

"It only makes sense though!, the stone makes you live forever! Of course your father would want it"

"But he's not back!, I'd know! And Snape wouldn't do such a thing!"

"I'm almost sure about this Lydia and Me, Ron and Hermione have been looking and every time something suspicious happens there he is! We think that he is a follower of your father"

"Why are you even telling me this?!"

"Because if your fathers back, I thought you should be the first to know"

"H-he's not! Now leave me alone!"

My head was aching.

I felt sick, how on earth had they found out.

And Snape? Why would they think Snape had something to do with this?

Did he? Was he a follower of my father?

"Lydia! Wait up!"

"No Harry! He's not back! And Snape isn't a follower of my dad"

"Okay...but be careful"

Sure that'll be really easy.

"So what were you and golden boy on about"

"Nothing"

"Oooo confidential is it?"

"Shut up Blaise it's nothing"

"Alrighty then, but you know...you can do better"

Draco then slammed his napkin down on the table making a bang and shutting everyone up.

His eyes locked onto Blaise and grew dark.

"Shut it Blaise I'm warning you"

"Protective Draco is scary"

Blaise put his arms up in defence and backed off.

V then coughed slightly and broke the awkward silence.

"Anywayssssssss, someone pass me the butter!"

V always found a way to lift the mood.

I was sitting in my last class of the day DADA it was always a bit boring...although it still didn't sit right with me that my father was literally teaching me on the back of some randos head.

The time seemed to be going slower and slower.

So I decided to tune in to the golden trios conversation.

"Hagrid has always wanted a dragon! He told me himself!"

D-dragon?!

"But he'll get fired if he's caught!"

Holy shit someone get me some popcorn this is good.

"I know...but that's not the point whoever sold the egg to his must want the philosophers stone!"

"How did you know that?"

"Well fluffy is Hagrids therefore he knows how to control him and get past him, so Hagrid will have told the person about fluffy in order to get a dragon!"

"Wait that makes sense!"

"Tonight we go see the dragon and warn Hagrid"

"Good idea"

I knew what I had to do.

I had to be the Slytherin I was born to be.

They found out about my secret, I'll let out theirs.

———

I made my way back to common room and reunited with my friends.

"You'll never guess what I heard the golden trio talking about today"
