The Quidditch pitch was empty, much to your surprise. Today was the first game of the season, a day that almost everyone in the entire school anticipated. So you being the only one at the stands confused you. Although to be fair, it was five in the morning.
The sun had started to come up, it’s rays rising behind the mountains. You sat alone on one of the Gryffindor bleachers admiring the view of the field. Memories flooded in- moments that you wish you could just travel back to. You sighed deeply, watching the cloud of fog from your mouth disappear into the cold November air.
You remembered the first game you had ever watched at Hogwarts. You were so small, so adventurous. You missed the feeling of excitement as a part of the crowd. The happy feeling of butterflies in your stomach when Jordan announced that your house had one the game.
That was all gone now. Now you were part of the team, a whole new world you had learned to adapt to for the past year. The ‘Star Seeker’ of Gryffindor House, [Y/N] Potter. Some would even say you topped Charlie Weasley. You doubted that, obviously.
You smiled slightly, enjoying the forgotten memories buried in your mind. The warmth of the sun spread across your cheeks, and it was a nice feeling in contrast with the winter season. It was incredible really, the weather at Hogwarts could change in a heartbeat. One day it’ll be scorching hot, the next cold and frozen.
“Sneaking out again are we?” You heard the familiar voice of your brother suddenly say.
You turned and saw his floating head, the glasses on his face fogging up due to his warm breath. You smiled at him, happy at the fact that Harry was still the same goofy boy you shared your life with.
“You know it.” You replied.
He slipped the invisibility cloak off his shoulders and took a seat next to you, his arm resting on your shoulders. You melted into your brother’s embrace, feeling warm and safe.
“Why are you up so early? We don’t have to warm-up until another hour or so.” He asked as he looked at the vast array of mountains surrounding the school.
You didn’t know yourself, actually. You don’t even know why you chose to go the Quidditch pitch in the first place. All you knew was that you needed to get out of the castle for a bit, enjoy the solitude of being alone.
“Just,” You paused. “needed to clear my mind I guess.”
Harry shifted in his place, his gaze leaving the mountains and focusing on his twin. He watched as you chewed on your inner cheek, a habit you’ve had ever since you two were little. It was something you did whenever you were unsure of yourself, or whenever you were jittery.
“You’re doing the thing again, [Y/N].” He stated, and you lifted your head from his shoulder, shrugging off his warm hug. You looked at him now, the same blue eyes meeting yours.
“I’m fine Harry, I really am. I think I just need to take a breather, that’s all.” You reassured. You patted his shoulder and stood up, leaving him alone at the bleachers.
“Be careful, [Y/N]!” Harry shouted when you were finally a good distance away from him.
“Yes mother!” You yelled back, smile adorning your features. You heard his low laugh, and you rolled your eyes playfully.
You were once again in your own headspace, the solitude from earlier coming back. Walking down the damp, worn out wooden bridge, you enjoyed the smell of pine wood surrounding you. Hogwarts was awfully quiet, but you couldn’t complain. It was rare moments like these that you appreciated the most, quiet and still.
You loved your friends, you really did, but being babied all the damn time did a good amount on you. Especially now with the dark lord running around, you were always protected at all costs. You were in just as much danger that Harry was in, so everyone trying to hide you didn’t make sense at all.
You stopped in your place. Maybe that was why you were so pent up for no reason. Maybe that was the cause for all of your restless nights. You huffed and continued on your way down the pitches, finally exiting the tall structures.
When you finally reached the Gryffindor common room, you were greeted by the same two people everytime you snuck out on your own. Ron and Hermione stood from their places on the couch and Hermione sprinted towards you. Her arms wrapped themselves tightly around you, her worried expression never leaving her face.
“Where were you? One minute you’re lying in bed, the next you’re off to who knows where!” Her embrace got tighter around you, and you mouthed a quick ‘help me’ to Ron.
He quickly lept from his place to help you, finally letting you out of Hermione’s tight embrace.
“Jeez you two- I just wanted some fresh air. No biggie.” You remarked as you made your way past the duo.
Falling onto the old couch, you feel the soft wool pillow meet your head. The couch may be a few centuries old, but it never failed to make you feel comfortable. Hermione stood next to you now, her arms crossed and her mouth slightly pouted.
“But [Y/N], you know how dangerous it is for you to be out by yourself. Vol-“ She paused, not wanting to mention his name in fear of him finding you. “You-Know-Who’s back and-“
“-Could capture me anytime blah, blah, blah!” You cut off. Getting up from your place on the couch, you make your way towards the staircase. “Give me a break, Mione, please. I’m tired of everyone nagging me about that bald headed freak.”
The both of them stood still in their places, clearly not expecting you to respond with such an agrivated tone in your voice. You sighed for the thousandth time this morning, and you turn to face them.
"Look- I'm sorry for yelling, but please for the love of god, let me be for just a few hours. Especially today." You pleaded to the duo in front of you.
Hermione's lips were pressed into a thin line, obviously not happy with the idea of you out on your own. Your eyes averted to the ginger-haired boy, his eyes trying their best to avoid your pleading gaze.
"I want to mate, I really do. It's just that Dumble-" Ron never got to finish however, since Hermione had taken it upon herself to cover his mouth before he could say anything else.
Intriguied, you raised a curious brow the both of them.
"Dumbledore?" You ask, now determined not to leave the common room without an answer.
Ron’s eyes were wide, along with Hermione’s. She let out a quiet cough, quickly taking her hand off his face.
“Nothing!” She replied rather hastily, and made her way next to you. Grabbing you by the shoulders, she ushered you up the stairs and did her best to change the subject. “[Y/N] I think you should get ready now- don’t want to miss the big day and all!”
You opened your mouth to protest, but Hermione shoved you into your dormitory before you could even utter a single word. Now you were left with your mouth open, staring at the wooden door in front of you. Everything happened so fast, it almost felt as if someone had obliviated you.
Pinching the bridge of your nose, you closed your eyes and let out a suppressed sigh. Great, just great. Hermione was now definitely going to keep a closer eye on you, and now all of a sudden Dumbledore was in on this as well. You let your forehead bang on the door, not caring if it would leave a mark.
“Come on [Y/N], pull yourself together. You’re a Potter for Merlin’s sake.”

hi everyone !! i have spoken about the #BLMM on my personal accounts, but I figured it was best if i shared it on here as well. as many of you know, George Floyd’s life was taken by that disgusting waste of space. i am doing everything in my power to help anyone and everyone. although i am only fourteen, i still have a voice and i encourage everyone to use theirs. please, please, PLEASE do not stay silent.
if you disagree with any statements regarding racism against POC and want to continue to be ignorant, please feel free to block me or unfollow me because i do not need you assholes on my account. moving on, it pains me to see POC have their lives taken away for doing simple every day things. i am not black, but i will stand with each and every one of you till the end. i will continue to defend and protect those who need it. your voices need to be heard, and justice needs to be served. although i am not white, i have never in my life have had to fear for my own safety because of the color of my skin. it is MIND BLOWING to me to see that all these racists think they have the right to degrade and ruin someone just because of their race. also, to see that people would actually use ‘All Lives Matter’ as an argument against anything relating to the Black Lives Matter Movement disgusts me. i am not disregarding any other race, i am just focusing on the one that needs our help AT THIS VERY MOMENT. i am not saying ‘ONLY Black Lives Matter’, i am only encouraging others to stand with everyone this movement. #ALMM can happen, but only if we make Black Lives Matter first.
to all my black brothers and sisters;
continue to fight for what’s right. we can do this, YOU can do this. i will support you every step of the way.
i currently do not reside in the U.S, but i am still a citizen. i cannot attend protests, but i am doing my best spread any helpful information to those who can attend. i will link the list of petitions you can sign, along with helpful information regarding everything going on in the U.S.
if you are going to protest, please hide anything that can reveal your identity!! protect your face with masks, goggles- anything. IF YOU ARE ARRESTED AND HAVE FOOTAGE, save it, keep it, but DO NOT delete it. a girl on tiktok explained that while she was in court, the lawyer/attorney warned her not to delete any footage because they will actively try to delete any evidence of your arrest.
everyone stay safe out there, i love you.

DRACO stood infront of you, preventing you from entering the Quidditch tent. You huffed and stepped to his side, but he blocked you then too. At this point you were just about ready to whack this boy unconscious with your broom.
“Merlin’s Beard, what do you want!?” You finally yelled, causing the other students around you to look at both of you momentarily. You coughed and lowered your head slightly, ignoring the weird stares.
“Just wanted to let you know to keep an eye out later. You may not know what’ll hit you.” He said, smirk plastered onto his lips.
“Is that a threat, Malfoy?” You watched as his smirk formed into a smile, ending it with a stifled laugh.
Unbelievable. The nerve this boy had! You’d had enough of his antics, so you pushed him to the side and made your way into the worn-out tent. You could hear his annoyed grunt as you pushed passed him, and it let a small smile form on your mouth.
When you were about five steps away from the rest of the Gryffindor team, you felt a hand grab your arm. You turned around, ready to give whoever grabbed you an earful.
“Hey what in- oh god, what now?!” You demanded. He was irritated to say the least- eyes squinted, nose scrunched.
He took a step forward, his finger meeting your forehead. “That snitch is mine, [Y/N]. Don’t even bother trying.” He stated.
You grabbed his hand and pushed it away from you.
“Oh yeah Malfoy?” You paused. “Try me.”

You sat in solitude, all alone in the Gryffindor common room. It was barely sunrise before you had unwillingly gotten up out of your bed. Breakfast wasn’t served until seven-thirty, so you had about two more hours before anyone else decided to get up. Even after a month, the time difference still hadn’t set in. So here you were, wide awake with your headphones wrapped around your neck as they hummed the familiar sound of Hanson.
You sipped at the warm canister of coffee, enjoying the taste of the brewed beverage. Yes, coffee. Tea just never seemed to satisfy you enough. Pulling the wool blanket further up, you shift yourself to a more comfortable spot on the worn down couch.
Since there was no hope for you trying to fall back asleep, the only other option for you to do was your schoolwork. Which in itself was already very limited since you and Hermione had worked together last night in the library.
Grabbing your book bag, you shuffle through all of your books and decided on Potions. This was one of your only subjects that Malfoy couldn’t top you at. You recalled the first Potions class you and him attended. Surprisingly enough, you already knew most of the basics since Ilvermorny had taught them the year before.
This, for some reason, enraged the tall boy. It was as if he always wanted to be above you- everyone- for that matter. So it was quite a confidence boost when Professor Snape had given you a perfect mark on your first potion, while Draco was left standing next to you mumbling and muttering how pathetic the class was.
You had now completely abandoned the thought of reading the book in your hand, as you were so entranced by the memories of the past month. Then realization kicked in. You’d been in Hogwarts for an entire month now! All alone in a new school, and you had managed to survive without much help.
Except for the fact that Dumbledore still wasn’t giving up on the idea of Malfoy being your ‘guide’. He was quite the opposite actually. There was never a day where Malfoy hadn’t taken the time to comment about your abilities. Merlin’s Beard, there was even a day where he had made fun of the way you held your quill.
With that being said, you tried nearly every week to get Dumbledore to change his mind. Hell, you even brought him chocolates once! But it- sadly- always ended with him declining your offer. He didn’t give you a reason, just always calmly said “You’ll find out on your own why I’ve chosen the Malfoy boy as your guide.”
You certainly hoped that it would be soon, because it wasn’t just Malfoy messing with you. In fact his entire friend group had made it their top priority to constantly tease you. It was honestly tiring, always feeling like you were dealing with a bunch of petty middle schoolers.
But despite everything, you and Malfoy still kept the promise you made to each other at the start of the year. He’d ‘help’ you get your way around the corridors and classes, and you wouldn’t tell anyone about his association with you. Looking back at it, you should’ve at least added something a bit more beneficial to your side. But it was too late now, seeing as Draco quite enjoyed his end of the bargain.
You still couldn’t believe the fact that he was a Prefect. Sometimes you wanted to snatch the shiny green badge that he wore so proudly and throw it out into the vastness of the forbidden forest. That would definitely show him.
You scoffed, realizing a few moments later that the idea was irrational. Sighing, you focus your attention back to the Potions book you had dropped to the floor, deciding that it would be better reading it rather than litter your memory with thoughts of revenge against Draco Malfoy.
You were a good six pages in when you suddenly heard the entrance of the tower opening. Your head snapped to the direction of the painting creaking open, waiting for whatever it was to come into the common room. The Potions book was yet again disregarded as you now stood behind the couch, your wand held tightly in your hand.
The sound footsteps got closer, and your wand stayed raised in the air. When the figure finally revealed itself- or themselves rather- you let out a sigh of relief. The Weasley twins stood in front of you, boxes of what you assumed was jokes piled in their hands.
“And what are you doing up this early?” George whispered, as he quietly stepped around you to set the boxes down on the floor. Fred followed behind him, doing the same.
“I should be asking you that, Weasley.” You smiled. Fred and George exchanged looks and let out a quiet laugh, trying not to wake anyone up.
“Nothing important. Just.... business.” Fred said in a quite voice as his eye lit up with mischief and excitement. You rolled your eyes and stifled a small giggle, leaving them to tend to whatever jokes were inside their boxes. You sat back down on the couch, adjusting yourself to the same spot you were in moments ago.
You took another sip from your canister, and continued on where you left off. Potions had always seemed to intrigue you, even at Ilvermorny. You got almost perfect scores everytime you completed a potion, even the complicated ones. However, as you skimmed through the rest of the pages, you noticed one that you weren’t quite familiar with.
The bold letters on the page spelled out it’s name; Felix Felicis. Not only did it take 6 months to make, but it was way more complicated and harder to brew than any other potion you’ve tried to do. You’ve never even heard of some of the ingredients required to make it! You quickly grabbed a highlighter from your bag and highlighted the page title, wanting to remember it. It was nothing special really, you did this with all the potions you believed you could brew.
After a reading through more of the books pages, the sun had started to shine through the glass stained window that overlooked the entire common room. It wasn’t a very bright light, since the rather gloomy season had already started to take place. Taking this as a sign to get ready, you grabbed your belongings and headed back up to the dormitories.
It was the start of your second month, and you said a silent prayer to whoever was up there, hoping and praying they’d make it a smooth one.
»»————- ➴ ————-««
The Gryffindor table was loud as always, students chatting and eating away their sleepiness. You sat at your usual spot, surronded by the trio and your other friends. In front of you was an array of food; ranging from cereals to whole breakfast platters.
You noticed that the scenery had changed as well, with the ceilings being covered in an assortment of orange and red leaves and the windows being tinted to give off a homey feel. Hogwarts never ceases to amaze you.
You slurped at your bowl of cereal, enjoying the cocoa flavor. Ron sat infront of you as always, Harry by his side and Hermione on yours. He chomped away at the breakfast sausage, too preoccupied reading whatever he was holding to notice his loud chewing.
It didn’t bother you that much, seeing as everyone was doing the same thing. It did however annoy Hermione, since she had started reading another one of the books from the library. It surprised you that so much knowledge could fit into that brain of hers. She was something else.
“Hermione why don’t you eat something first? You’ve always got your head stuck in a book, I’m scared you’ll forget to even breathe at times.” You told the very determined girl next to you.
You could hear Ron let out a laugh, and you yourself couldn’t stop a smile from forming on your lips. Hermione finally looked up at you, eyes clearly tired from working so much.
“But there’s a quiz in DADA later today, and I most definitely do not want to fa-“
“Uh-uh, no. You won’t be able to focus if you don’t eat the most important meal of the day.” You said, sliding the book away from her reach.
She pouted, upset that you took her valued book away. You gave her another look, and she sighed finally giving in, piling a good amount of food on her plate.
“Wow, so you’ll listen to [Y/N]’s advice but not mine? I’m hurt.” Ron said playfully, grabbing his heart as if to mimic the pain of betrayal.
You laughed at this, enjoying the small bicker between him and Hermione. It wasn’t hard to see the signs of a faint attraction between them, even if they themselves couldn’t see it.
“It’s a shame you’re not in many of our classes [Y/N].” Ron said. “You should see Hermione fuss about every little thing-“
Ron never got to finish his sentence though, before Hermione had whacked him on the head with a parchment roll. At this you laughed harder than before, enjoying the face of regret Ron had on now.
“It is a shame isn’t it? [Y/N] won’t be able to see how much of a complete nonce you are.” Hermione remarked, crossing her arms. Despite her annoyed tone, her lips had still managed to form into a slight smile.
Ron scoffed and rolled his eyes, averting his attention back to the food in front of him. The four of you continued to converse, Harry complaining about the next Quidditch game, Hermione worrying about school, and Ron just living in the moment.
You smiled to yourself. You were definitely going to miss them once you left for good.
»»————- ➴ ————-««
Once breakfast had ended, you and trio had disbanded in the corridor. You were all alone now, walking by yourself among the sea of students surrounding you. You were more than familiar with the halls and corridors- courtesy of Malfoy, sadly- so it wasn’t that difficult heading to classes anymore.
You silently made your way to the Dungeons, your headphones on your head blasting all of your favorite tracks. Potions was- thankfully- your first class of the day. The other classes weren’t necessarily that bad, it was just Draco that ruined them.
Shaking your head, you cleared your thoughts of the rude boy. You were going to be stuck with him for the rest of the day, the least you could do was get some alone time before then.
When you finally made it to the Potions classroom you made your way to your usual spot. He hadn’t arrived yet, and you let out a sigh of relief. You hid your Walkman back in your bag, getting the necessary things needed for Snape’s class.
Professor Snape was scary, but so were others. In fact, your teacher at Ilvermorny could’ve easily scared Snape away with just a glance. You were honestly still shocked that other students in your year were still terrified of him, seeing as you were almost two years away from graduating.
Your thoughts were interrupted when you saw that Malfoy had arrived, throwing his bag onto the table. He didn’t acknowledge you, and you didn’t acknowledge him. He left his post, making his way back to his goons.
So there you were, all alone once again. You sat on the tall stool, arms supporting you on the table as you read through more of the different potions. You remembered the one you highlited earlier that day; Felix Felicis- also known as Liquid Luck.
You didn’t know why it fascinated you so much. Perhaps it was the effects of the Potion that made you even more determined to brew it one day. Draco quickly made his way back, indicating that Professor Snape had arrived.
You took another step to your left, not wanting to invade his personal space. Contrary to popular belief, Malfoy wasn’t exactly the bravest person everybody put him to be. The only reason why you noticed this in the first place is because he was clearly intimidated by Snape himself. It was quite funny actually, a teenage boy feeling the need to be superior to a Professor.
“Turn to page 297.” Snape announced in his usual voice, his eyes scanning the room for any misbehaving students. “Can anyone... tell me what the use and effects of an Amortentia potion are?”
You knew this one. Even had some personal experience with it. They were nasty Love Potions, used to make other people feel a great attraction towards you. Your bestfriend had tried to use it on one of the Lacrosse players at Ilvermorny- and it was safe to say that it had definitely backfired.
You raised your hand to answer, but you were beat by none other than your seatmate. Snape had moved aside from his place and revealed the small black couldron- presumably holding Amortentia. Draco had gladly gotten up out of his seat, not forgetting to throw a nasty glance at you before he did.
He stood behind the pot and began to explain. “Amortentia- or Love Potions- are used to create an illusion of being in ‘love’. Once used, the person affected by this potion is blinded by obsession and infatuation.”
“And the effects?” Snape snapped coldly, clearly annoyed at how Draco was turning this into something he could show off. You stifled a laugh when Draco’s smirk faltered, clearly not having been able to impress Snape.
“It’s aroma is different to each person who consumes it.” Draco paused, pulling another one of his show-off acts. He smirked and walked next to the couldron.
“For example, I smell” He took a small whif, inhaling the sweet smell of the Potion. “new linen, chocolate and-“ He paused once more, his smirk ultimately leaving his lips. “freshly brewed coffee.” His last words would’ve been impossible for you to hear if you weren’t seated so close to the front.
“10 points to Slytherin.” Snape announced, and motioned sharply for the blonde boy to go back to his place. A confused look still plastered Draco’s face, as if he had found out something he didn’t want to.
You ignored it, and paid attention to whatever experiment you had to conjure up today. It was another one of the simple potions, nothing too hard. Snape gave the entire class 40 minutes to brew it to perfection.
You flipped to the assigned page and started immediately. Draco hadn’t moved an inch, still lost in his thoughts. You snapped your fingers to get his attention.
“Are you just gonna sit there?” His eyes met yours, and he quickly shook out of his shocked demeanor. You eyed him weirdly, since he had started acting differently. There was no sudden comeback, no outburst.
You shrugged and let out a deep sigh, eyes averting back to the potion at hand. Jars of ingredients floated off of the shelf and onto your table, opening themselves. Draco was unusually quiet, just sitting there and following whatever the book told him to.
When it eventually came to adding both of your mixtures together, Draco had completely disregarded whatever came next. You almost let it slip until you realized that the potion would completely backfire if Draco didn’t follow the step before your current one.
“Draco are you even paying attention?” You asked impatiently, watching him as he just hummed and kept mixing his pot.
Taking matters into your own hands you add whatever else needed to be added, and end moving a full two steps closer to him. Not thinking anything of it, you grabbed his hand and started stirring with him. His eyes widened quickly and shook himself out of your grasp.
“Don’t touch me.” He said firmly, the familiarity of his rude voice coming back. You rolled your eyes and stepped back to your area.
“Just keep stirring.” You replied blankly. What had gotten into him?
When Snape had come to check on your potion, you and Draco had been given a near perfect-score, leaving you satisfied and less worried. Snape dismissed the class, and you hurriedly made your way out of the room.
You felt someone nudge your shoulder forcefully, and you snapped your head forward only to find out Malfoy had done it. He was back to his usual self, rude and arrogant.
Adjusting your bag, you made your way to your next class, following the crowd of students to the stairs.
»»————- ➴ ————-««
“Another cup? Are you sure you’ll even be able to sleep tonight [Y/N]?” Hermione asked worriedly, seeing as you’ve previously consumed about two other cups of your caffeinated beverage.
Classes had ended, and you were once again sat in the Gryffindor common room. It wasn’t empty this time, most of your housemates just lounging around and waiting until it was curfew.
“I’ll be fine Granger. I’m just maxed out for today, that’s all.” It was the truth, though. You were very tired, these classes getting the best of you at times. Add the pile of homework you’d have to do and you were completely wasted.
It had become a routine for you and Hermione to work together every night, so she was nice enough to help you with most of your work. Thank Merlin.
As for everything going smoothly? Total bull. You had really hoped your second month would go a lot easier, but you were of course wrong about that. Did you regret accepting the letter of exchange? Absolutely not.
It was just that damned boy keeping you from living up your best time here at Hogwarts. Besides that, you genuinely appreciated all of the new friendships you were able to form in the past month.
About thirty minutes before curfew, you informed Hermione that you were gonna head up to the dormitories and get ready to pass out, even if your had about 300mg of caffeine pulsing through your veins.
The softness of your bed engulfed you immediately, giving you the comfort you craved so dearly. The room was dim, some girls already sound asleep. Your uniform reeked of various Niffler foods, but you couldn’t care less.
You recalled your day, trying to remember if you had anymore things you needed to catch up on. Your schoolwork had all been turned in, and your homework was done and stacked neatly on your dresser.
Your moment of comfort was ruined when memories of your morning classes emerged. The whole Amortentia situation replayed over and over in your head, remembering the stuck up explanation of Draco. His answers- for some odd reason- lingered in your mind.
Trying to recall what in the hell kept making you think of him, and you suddenly remembered his answers after smelling the potion itself. New linen, chocolate and-
Your eyes shot open, completely washing away any sign of your sleepiness.
Freshly brewed coffee.
