I Am Your Teacher (Severus Snape X Reader)

I'm Here For You (Draco)

Finally, the speeches end and a big meal appeared before us. Within a matter of seconds, I see Draco at the side of our table, staring down at me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. Before I had a chance to respond Ron had piped into our conversation.

"Is there something going on here that I don't know about (Y/n)?" He spoke with his mouth full. I watched Hermione glare at him, most likely because of his poor table manners.

"If she doesn't want to talk about it then leave her be," Hermione spoke, saving me from the awkward silence that was going to follow Ronald's question. I turned to look up at Draco and smiled softly, welcoming the enchantment and letting the negative energy leave me.

"I'm good," I said as I saw his brows furrow. I watched his pale-skinned hand connect with my own as he helped me stand to my feet. I wasn't sure where he was taking me but I obliged either way. Though, when I stood- we stayed in place. He wasn't leading me away like I originally thought. Instead, he pulled me into a hug. One of his arms wrapped around my lower back tightly as his other hand held the back of my head. I felt his nose press into my neck as he held me close to him. I hugged him back just as tightly, not realizing I needed this. I almost felt my hurt seep through but I kept my composure.

"I'm here for you," Draco whispered in my ear before I separated our embrace. I nodded before I turned, seeing Harry and Ron's faces drop as if they had never seen two friends hug before. Hermione held a small smirk on her lips as she glanced at me. Great... they all got the wrong idea from that. Even Hermione who should know better... Perhaps, the display of affection looked more intimate than friendly? Whatever. The only thing that matters is what it means to me. A friend comforting another in need. That is all... I think?

"Oh! (Y/n), if you need a place to stay... you are welcome to move in with my family." I couldn't hide my shocked expression as I listened to Draco's statement. I-I could live with Draco? I wonder how that would be? His family has a bit of name for being the snobbish type. I'm not sure if they would even allow me... a Gryffindor... to stay with them.

"Really? I um... wouldn't want to intrude..."

"I've already spoken to my parents. I thought- just in case you needed somewhere to stay... Anyway- you are welcome for as long as you like. My father's words." I smiled slightly as he spoke. I honestly would much rather spend my time with Draco rather than... Harry... Don't get me wrong! Harry is one of my best friends... I'm just more comfortable with Draco. I actually think staying with him might be... interesting.

"Wouldn't it be easier if you stayed with me, (Y/n)?" Harry asked as if he was coming to my aid. He wasn't.

"My families manor is much closer to her school of choice." Malfoy's words seemed to silence Harry when I hadn't protested them. I think he had gotten the hint that I would rather live with Draco instead of him. I hope that didn't hurt his feelings too bad, I mean he must understand after all he put me through this year.

"You know I don't think her BOYFRIEND would like her living with another guys family. You can stay with us if you like. I'm sure mum wouldn't mind. You could even live with Fred at his place! Oh, I'm sure he would love that!- OW!" Ron gasped as Hermione kicked him under the table, causing him to shut his mouth. It seemed as if he had found the solution to everything in his mind. I didn't realize how much he had enjoyed the idea of me dating his brother until now. I completely forgot about Fred... he's so sweet. He would definitely help me. I don't know though, after what happened... that night. I'm completely embarrassed. I don't want him to think I'm just using him. He deserves so much better than me.

"You haven't heard Weasley? Your Brother and (Y/n) had a falling out." Draco spoke taking me off guard. What was he doing?

"A falling out? What happened?" Ron asked, looking at me. I felt my hands beginning to grow sweaty. I should tell the truth... I'm not dating Fred, I never was. I need to let go of all of my lies...

"Oh uh- we just decided to end it...mutual agreement. We are still friends though!" As I spoke Ron nodded as I felt a light nudge in my side. Draco was elbowing me with a goofy smile on his face.

"So does that mean you are gonna come stay with me? I promise it'll be fun! The best summer ever!" I laughed as I pushed his arm away from me. I'm sure it will be a fun summer once I get over... all of this.

"Yeah. Sounds good." His smile grew as he put both his hands on my shoulders and leaned down to my height, whispering in my ear.

"Later tonight, we need to talk. Without this.-" I felt his finger press into the red fabric that was hanging around my neck.

"You need to heal, not hide." I felt my heart beating louder than normal as he squeezed my shoulders one last time before letting go.

"I'll meet up with you later," Draco said before walking away, back to his own Slytherin table to eat his meal. I grinned as I sat back down, feeling better than I was before. I think I was actually excited to leave now. I'm sure my summer with Draco was going to be fun. I always seemed to have fun when he's around. I lifted a bite of my food to my mouth as I felt my three friends staring at me.

"What?" I stated, slightly confused..

"Draco? Really?" Harry asked with a bit of an annoyed tone. The way Ron was staring at me I could tell his opinion on the matter sided with him. They shouldn't be surprised, they know we had gotten close this year. Who were they to judge me after everything that had happened?

"Yes, Draco. Really." I stated plainly, continuing to eat as they both followed my lead. I couldn't help but notice the sly smirk hiding in Hermione's features as I raise my refilled glass of water to my lips.
