Rewrite The World For You (Draco x Reader)

Chapter 2 (The Sorting Hat)

She was so eager to learn everything and anything that the first thing she did was get to know all her housemates. Now the crucial part was getting closer to the main characters of the world, The Golden Trio.

Y/N knew if she stayed with them, it would somehow guarantee her safety from the upcoming dangers that were to come. However, that may not make sense as Harry, Ron, and Hermione were always in some sort of danger. But, if you were to think about it harder, they are the main characters! The main characters don't die so easily, they CAN'T otherwise the story would've ended shortly.

Y/N's attempts to get closer to the Golden Trio were in vain as there was never an opportunity for them to talk. Even though they were classmates and would occasionally see each other and cross paths through the hallways, the differences in their houses wouldn't allow them to interact. Yet.

It was frustrating not being able to be in the same house as the Golden Trio and now it was like a barrier had been placed between them. But Y/N was determined to somehow start a conversation with them.

In the meantime, for every question that a professor asked from the class, Hermione would be the first to stretch out her arm in the air and Y/N would be the first to say the answer, even though she didn't raise her hand.

All of the answers would be deemed correct too and she was quickly known among the class as the brightest student.

Some admired her for her intelligence, especially her housemates, for every right answer earned their house some points, making the other Ravenclaws rely on her abilities more than themselves to boost their house points.

However, others find her intelligence a bit irritating, specifically coming from Slytherin. And Draco was disappointingly, but not surprisingly, one of them.

Time flies by quicker than Y/N realized since she started her term in Hogwarts and Halloween had arrived. They were in Professor Flitwick's class when he thought the first years were ready to learn how to make objects float, teaching the famous levitation charm– Wingardium Leviosa!

Y/N still remembered that she used to recite the spell over and over again back in her past life, loving the way Hermione said it perfectly to teach Ron.

Unfortunately, despite imitating the words perfectly, no object levitated as magic did not exist in her previous world. But here, at that moment, it did.

Y/N sat directly behind Ron and Hermione, who were forced to pair with each other in class. They seemed displeased with each other as they hadn't learned to like the other person yet. Y/N finds the sight immensely amusing and cute, knowing they'll eventually end up together.

Y/N watched in anticipation that the iconic scene from the movie was about to happen. "Don't forget the nice wrist movement that we've been practicing." Squeaked Professor Flitwick while standing on a stack of books, "swish and flick, everyone." Professor Flitwick reminded the class, "...Oh, and enunciate– Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then." He said before the students attempted the charm on their own.

The class was filled with students chanting and mumbling the levitation spell repeatedly and failing repeatedly the same as well. Y/N just observed the class, she couldn't care less about attempting the charm herself and was more interested in the now-bickering Hermione and Ron that sat in front of her.

"You do it, then, if you're so clever." Ron snarled at Hermione.

Hermione rolled her sleeve before proving her point to Ron when she successfully cast the levitation charm on her feather. That seemed to annoy Ron more than he already was.

Getting told he was stupid was one thing, but getting proven that he was one was a whole 'nother low. He was in a bad mood by the end of the class.

Y/N didn't witness any of the hurtful things she knew Ron would say about Hermione after what happened between them earlier.

However, Y/N knew it had unfortunately happened because while walking down one of the corridors, she had caught a glimpse of Hermione in tears as she strides away, presumably towards the girl's bathroom to weep.

She knew this was meant to happen and that deep down, she knew Hermione's pain was what helped the Golden Trio bond together.

But still, seeing someone in tears had never sat right with Y/N. She can't help but want to comfort her and wipe off the tears from her cheeks while assuring her that everything will be all right.

Hermione may be a know-it-all but no knowledge in the world can fill up a lonely heart. She was just a kid– an eleven-year-old kid who was still learning how to make friends in a new environment, surrounded by new people.

Which is why it must be so heartbreaking for Hermione to find out that nobody liked her. Or at least Ron sure didn't.

Y/N signed heavily in defeat against her mind before walking in the same direction as Hermione did...
