Rewrite The World For You (Draco x Reader)

Chapter 3 (Troll)

That was a problem. That was a VERY big problem. 'what have I done?' she thought to herself, sweating seeing how Hermione would only hang out with her but roll her eyes at Ron, and treat Harry as nothing more than a classmate. This was VERY bad.

If this continues, Y/N fears that she may have unintentionally broken the Golden Trio before it even happened. Her talk with Hermione while in an attempt to comfort her had accidentally caused THEM to bond instead of with the two Gryffindors.

Now every time they sat in class, Harry sat with Ron and Hermione with Y/N, always sitting together and across from the other.

Hermione was known by her classmates as a know-it-all and Y/N was no different, the only difference is that Y/N doesn't rub her intelligence on other people's faces and make them feel dumb.

Everyone thought the two of the smartest students in the class would spar and form a rivalry against each other. After all, they were like equals when it comes to their academics.

But to everyone's surprise, it had been the complete opposite and now the two smartest students appeared to be the best of friends.

One day in transfiguration class, Draco saw Hermione and Y/N sitting next to each other as usual and couldn't help but comment on it.

"Oh, look, the two nerds are sitting together again. Trying to find your people, Granger?"

"Shut up–"

"Or what? You're going to throw a book at me? Because that's what a nerd would do, right?" He mocked before he gave her a revolting expression, "You're nothing but a Mudblo–"

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Ron hissed from across the room.

Y/N got her hand unconsciously clenched from Draco's insulting remarks and almost made a loud bang against the table with her fist. Good thing Ron intervened first.

The pale boy reacted immediately to the red-haired boy, sprung up from his seat, and puffed out his chest to look big and intimidating.

But Ron didn't back down as he also stood up from his seat and puffed out his chest, imitating him. Then Crabbe and Goyle stood up to back Draco up, followed by Harry backing up Ron's.

They glared at each other before Draco let out a smirk, "look at you, defending for your girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend," Ron growled, a bit flustered

Draco scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Please, you two are perfect for each other." He said sarcastically and added, "The pathetic traitor and filthy Mudblo—"

Then Ron pounced on him and was about to throw a punch at the boy's precious face, but Harry held him back, knowing it would only get them in more trouble than it's worth.

Draco faltered for a moment when he realized that Ron was going to hit him but quickly regained his composure, seeing him detained made him believe he was untouchable.

He grinned mockingly in delight for getting under Ron's skin, seeing him seething at him while being held back by his friend– he found it humorous.

But the next second, Professor McGonagall finally entered the class and immediately sensed the tension between the boys from different houses, especially Ron who was squirming in Harry's arms.

"What is all the fuss about?" She spoke sternly at them with a bit of anger, "Back to your seats, all of you." She ordered and they reluctantly obeyed, but not before giving each other one last glare.

And just like that, disaster had been avoided. Barely. Y/N still liked Draco as a character but she had forgotten what a bully he was.

Sometimes she had the urge to just knock some sense into the boy and straighten him up, but she knew Draco would never allow himself to change for anyone.

But what if Y/N wasn't just anyone?

What if she... if she may, if she might, if she could, change a little bit of the story and help change the fate of the boy who had no choice for the better?

She knew Draco better than anyone else and knew exactly what he was, and will be going through, after all. She can use what she knows about Draco to connect with him.

Yes, that would be a great plan, she thought.

But the consequences of changing a character's fate are ones filled with uncertainty, you don't know if a small little act could result in the entirety of the future changing.

But Y/N didn't care. She wanted to save Draco more than anyone else in the world. Knowing what she knows, he deserved better than to live a life he never wanted all because he didn't know any better and had no one else to turn to...

She will be that someone.

She will be the one to save Draco Malfoy no matter what it costs.

To open his eyes to his wrongdoings, melt his cold bitter heart, and heal him...
