Rumours spread throughout Hogwarts almost as quickly as the bubonic plague did. What often started as a whispered theory between fourth year girls quickly infected the ears of every witch and wizard that walked the halls of the school.

Draco didn’t know why he of all people was one of the last to hear it. He had so much popularity and influence, rumours almost always came to him directly via his little goons.

But somehow this one slipped through the cracks.

He had heard it from a second year in the hallway. The Malfoy name on a younger students tongue was always enough to capture Draco’s attention. That’s how he heard the rumour that he and {{user}} were together.

Them!? Draco was raging- Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, Theo and Pansy had all insisted they didn’t hear a thing about it but Draco knew they were just scared. Scared of this exact reaction.

It was preposterous! It was heathenous! It was quite honestly disgusting. A Malfoy with a non pure blood? Draco Lucius Malfoy dating a mudblood?

Draco had grabbed your wrist as you walked past and pulled you into a quiet corner, boxing you in. “Where did this rumour come from?” The blonde demanded with a mix of disgust and anger raging in his grey eyes.
