Rewrite The World For You (Draco x Reader)

Chapter 8 (End of First Year)

Dumbledore raised a hand and the room automatically fell quiet.

"There are all kinds of courage," he said with a smile, "it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but it takes an even greater deal to stand up to our friends. I therefore award 20 points to Mr. Neville Longbottom."

And just like that, the room wreaks havoc with sounds of cheers, mostly from the now wild Gryffindor table. Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were celebrating the downfall of Slytherin, adding to the chaos.

Someone outside the Great Hall might as well have thought that there was some sort of explosion happening in there.

"Lastly–" Dumbledore suddenly added, everyone went silent again in anticipation, some were even hopeful.

"To Miss Serene Willow..."

Y/N's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped from shock as she didn't expect any award from her. That wasn't part of the story, but then again, Y/N's assistance wasn't part of the story either.

Her housemates were shaking her with excitement upon hearing someone from their house getting called out by Dumbledore.

"...for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Ravenclaw fifty points, which makes a total of five hundred points. Congratulation."

The Ravenclaw table thundered into a proud cheer, applauding and whistling while ruffling Y/N's hair. It was an even louder cheering compared to moments ago when Gryffindor had initially won the House Cup.

Slytherin barely clapped with the crowds after losing their 7th year's House Cup record; Gryffindor cheered but people could see the disappointment in their eyes for being second place; whereas Hufflepuff was enjoying the unexpected plot twist and was just being supportive.

Ravenclaw had beaten Gryffindor, as well as all the other houses, and won the House Cup.

"Nice one, Y/N!" One student congratulated her while proudly ruffling her hair.

"Yeah, good work, Y/N!" Another one chimed in and also ruffled her hair.

"Wait– but what did I do!?" She asked with pure shock and bemusement.

"You won us big points, that's what you did!"

"How??" Y/N asked incredulously. In her mind, Gryffindor was supposed to win like in the original, no matter what happens.

"Doesn't matter how– WE WON!" One boy enthusiastically replied.

"No– we're not supposed to win!" She cried and people gave her weird looks.

"What are you talking about?" Their eyes narrowed.

"Nothing..." Y/N muttered sheepishly and just accepted that she had changed fate yet again. "I was just sure that Gryffindor would win, that's all."

Despite her surprise, a small smile tugged on her lips as people cheered for her. She can't believe Ravenclaw had won the House Cup, all thanks to her. Y/N couldn't help but feel— proud— of herself.

"Which means, we need a little change of decoration."

Dumbledore clapped his hands and instantly, the green hangings became divine blue; the Slytherin serpent vanished and a proud Ravenclaw eagle took its place.

Y/N could see Draco's face was in horror and disbelief. He was disgusted that Slytherin had lost the House Cup and had a sour expression throughout the night.

TIME SKIPPED TO THE NEXT DAY

Everyone had just received their exam results and to Harry and Ron's surprise, they passed with good marks. But none were more surprised than Hermione Granger.
