(Hey guys! So this is going to start out as a pre-war two-shot, but if it generates enough interest I'll turn it into a multi-chap, the pairing is Draco/Oc, and it starts in their last year with Draco and his twin sister ((Anya loves being in my stories)) as head boy and girl...)
Draco POV
I stood, lingering in the doorway of McGonagall's office and wondering what the fuck could be taking her so long with Dumbledore and deciding if I should just leave and as her what she wanted to tell me in tomorrow's class, and edging my way out the door just as I feel a burst of heat behind me, and turn around to see a flash of green floo powder. A girl dressed head to toe in black, right to the black beanie hat her hair was hidden in, with ivory skin and wide hazel eyes stumbles into the room, one hand struggling with binding ropes wrapped around her neck, and the other trying to stem the bleeding caused by a dagger stabbed into her side, just above her jeans.
For a moment I just stand, completely at a loss for what in the name of Merlin is going on, and then I hear a gargled breath and watch her eyes roll back in her head, and it kicks me into action as I run to her side. She's collapsed on the floor, her fingers still tearing at the rope, her nails bloody and torn. I pull my wand out and use it to slice the ropes, rewarded with a huge gasp as she pulls much needed oxygen into her lungs, grabbing my fore-arm with her free hand as I wrap my fingers around the handle of the dagger. She looks up at me, fear glazing her eyes "Don't worry, princess" I murmur, having no clue why I called her 'princess' but deciding it can wait until later.
I pull out the blade, and it becomes clear she now has more than enough oxygen to release a loud scream, and then I start to get to work on a simple healing charm, watching as her flesh grows back again, and my other hand still resting on the side of her neck, her lips stretching out into an easy grin, which is quite a sight to see considering how she made her entrance "Must your entrances always be so dramatic, Harmony" Evidently McGonagall is back, and she sweeps into her office, walking over and pulling the two of us from the floor "You're early dear" she says, offering a plate of biscuits to the girl, who takes one as she slides the beanie from her head, revealing shimmering electric orange hair, which tumbles to her waist in soft waves.
"Sorry Minerva, we were ambushed at the pass, my parents told me to get somewhere safe" she apologises, taking the dagger that I still have clutched in my hand and spinning it through her fingers "Can I keep this?" she asks, earning a glare from McGonagall, she just grins, shrugs her shoulders and places it on her desk before munching on the biscuit, and all the while I stand here confused and wondering where the pass is and why they were ambushed there
"Draco, this is Harmony" McGonagall makes a gesture towards the electric orange, smiling fondly at her "She is the reason I called you here tonight, you and Anya will be in charge of making sure she is safe.." I didn't hear much of the conversation after that, too busy wondering what I was supposed to keep her safe from and realizing the girl had curves like Marilyn Monroe and one of the prettiest faces I had ever seen. Wide, doe like eyes, full curved lips and an adorable button nose.
I'm brought back to earth when her fingers are clicked repeatedly in front of my face "Hey, super ice?" she laughs easily, ruffling my hair up "Thought we lost you there." McGonagall frowns "As I was saying, Draco. Harmony's room is the apartment next to yours, of course you are expected to make sure she finds her way there safely, and I trust she can find her own way around the school?" she directs the last part to Harmony, smiling again when she nods "So, you have my things?" McGonagall nods her head towards the corner of the room.
Harmony runs in that direction, grinning wider when she sees the two suitcases on a trolley, and the tawny owl in the cage "Hex" she sighed, placing one finger through the holes in the cage and letting the owl nibble on it as she picked up a wand from the top of one of the suitcases "wand" she grinned "Precious wand! Oh baby how I missed you! Minerva I can't thank you enough for finding it" oh, well now I know why she couldn't get herself free of those binding ropes. she slides the wand into the pocket of her skinny jeans and grabbing hold of the trolley, swinging it round and running it over my toe with a cute giggle "C'mon super ice, Cinderella wants to get to here room before midnight, good evening Minerva, and again, thank you so much for all you're doing" with that she waltzed out the room, nudging me with her shoulder on the way.
I give McGonagall a wave before running to catch up with Harmony and turning her trolley around the other way "your apartment is this way, genius" I grinned, keeping hold of the trolley with one hand to help her, she laughed and winked at me "Sorry ice, I have no sense of direction, and as many have told me that will one day be my down fall" she shrugs "but who has time to worry about my demise? I sure as Salazar don't" she giggled again, her hair shimmying with her movements
"So..." I started, wiping the sweat from my palms on my trousers "I'm Draco Malfoy, and you're Harmony..." I tilt my head towards her, raising an eye brow "Yup. Harmony, just Harmony. No last name, sorry ice." I sigh and keep walking, still wondering what exactly brought this girl here, and why the fuck she arrived with a dagger in her side and ropes around her neck. Has the whole damn world gone mad? Are attractive girls just falling from the sky now?
