Warning: Homophobic Slurs
Reuqested by DoubleReverse

Ace's POV

"Wingardium Leviosa!" I exclaimed, pointing my wand on my test subject, a bull frog.

Instead of it zapping the frog, the magic instead came out of the other side of the wand. It started hitting glasses, students reflecting the force, and finally hitting poor Norton-Gryffindor- who was showing something to our teacher, Miss Krazi.

It gave him a shock before turning levitating. "W-woah! Help!" he cries as he gets turned upside down. At one point he started hitting stuffs off, breaking alot of bottles.

"Oops...." I say before hiding behind Tracy, another Raveclaw. Esther- who belongs to Hufflepuff- quickly ran to Norton and dispelled my mistake.

I already now I'm in trouble. Miss Krazi looked at me angrily before slamming her small hands to the table "5 POINTS FROM RAVENCLAW!" she roars.

I sigh and look down, hearing the snickers and chuckles of the Slytherins; Naib, Kreacher, Servais, and William.

"Fag can't do anything right," Naib slurs. "What can you say? Mistakes are mistakes," Kreacher spats. "Why was he sent to Ravenclaw again?" Servais mocks as William laughs at all of those.

I sulk in my position, feeling a presence aproach me. "Hey atleast it worked!" Esther comforts before hugging me. I smile and hug back, tightly. I swear I can feel a certain Slytherin's deadly glare.

*******
I was the last one out since I had detention.

I walked out of the room, only to get shoved on the wall, hard. I even dropped my stuffs from my messenger bag. I look up to meet heterochromic eyes. Kreacher. "You think it's cool to mess with me, huh?" I hear Naib behind the man. "Pathetic,"

A fist met my face, throwing me to the floor as blood drips down my nose.

Cackles rang in the empty hallways. I was grabbed from my collar, choking me when I got pulled up. "William, wanna try?" Naib asks with a sickening smile. William stares at me.

I tried to give him a pleading look, because who the freak wants to get beat up by the buffest Slytherin?

He looks at me and scoffs. "I wouldn't want dirt on my hands. I'm going to potions class and I don't want it to suddenly blow up, do I?" he answers, looking away. I was hurt, but nonetheless relieved he wasn't in a mood to beat me up.

I hear Servais groan "Weak dude.
Let me try," he comments and proceeds to swing a kick to my side. "Aghh!" I yelp. The three laugh while William looks the other way. Naib starts giving me punches on my face as well. Bruises evident.

"Ok guys, we're gonna be late. Wouldn't want to get screamed at by Miss Nightingale," he reminds.

They groaned and let me go "You're no fun today William," Kreacher complains. Naib sighs and shoves his hands to his robe "Come on guys," They started walking away, but William stopped and looked at me from his shoulder. His brown eyes glaring through my soul. A smile displayed on his strong features, making me blush for some reason.

I quickly look away and started gathering my things. I hear his heavy foot steps get fainter, until I hear nothing.

I lift up my robe and shirt, revealing a purple bruise on my chest. Knew it. I sigh and pulled down the garments,

I grab my bag and shoved all the things that have fallen inside.

I don't have a med kit containing a healing potion/ingredients for a healing potion... I don't want to go to the clinic! They might ask who did this! That'll only make things worse. I-I don't want my friends into this either. I guess I have to suck it in....

I sigh and start rummaging through my bag, hoping to find anything to cover this bruise up.

Let's see uhh.... a cloth.... a-and a... brown med kit? This isn't mine....

I opened the container and saw an already made healing potion! Who does this belong to? Whatever, I need it.... I'll just give it back later.

I quickly shove it to my bag and run to the bathroom to treat myself.

*******

"How the f*ck are you fine?" Naib spats, eyeing me. I shook my head and start backing away. Kreacher and Servais grabbed my arms, stopping my escape. "Oh we're not done here, gay boy," he says and raises a fist. "You're pathetic,".

I didn't make any attempt to stop it. Maybe he is right.... A gay wizard? That sounds weird and ugly.... I deserve this.

I braced for impact, but none came. I looked up and saw a tan fist clutched on the other Slytherin's hands. Naib growls and looks at William "Hey what gives?!". "Aren't you supposed to have a practicum with that Hufflepuff?" William asks while countering Naib's strength like it was nothing.

Naib scoffs and pulls back. "You're safe for now, faggot," he says and bumps my shoulder, the others following suites.

I sigh and start walking away, until I felt a strong grip on my shoulder "Wait," the deep voice of William sent shivers down my spine. "I'm sorry for my friends. I don't care that you're gay. You're fine being who you are by the way," he says and let's go, walking to another direction.

I watch as he walks to the rooms, giving me a quick glance and smile before barging inside.

I look away and try to hide my blush. This doesn't feel right... no!

What if he's just messing with me? What if this is all planned? They're gonna beat me up when I turn soft on him!

Oh goodness what if I'm... falling for him? What no! He's a bully!

B-but he never hurts me... just insults. That's not enough evidence that he's good! I don't know what to do!

I sigh and pull on my hair as I stress out. Oh no, a panic attack? I quickly ran to my dorm and sat on the bed.

I felt tears running from my face as I break down on my bed.

I can't breathe.... I can't... think straight! My head hurts too much!

I went to grab my wand, trying to heal myself even though I know it's too risky. I fail and just laid down, clutching my chest as I cry.

I hear knocking on my door "Ace? Are you there?" I hear William's voice echo through the door. Oh god why is he here?!

I heard consecutive knockings "Ace? I can hear you! I'm coming in!" He yells.

I quickly hide myself to cover up my panic attack. Why now?!

"Aberto!" He exclaims as my door opens. I heard him gasp and run to my side as I shake.

"Its ok, calm down. Everything is fine!" He reassures, hugging me and rocking side to side. This doesn't help. It's making it worse knowing he's probably trying to control me.

I push him away and grab my wand, pointing it correctly to him "G-go away... I-I'm not g-gonna fall i-in this trap..." I managed to stutter out. Hands shaking, sweat falling, eyes wet, and lips trembling. I'm obviously not ok.

He grabs my wand and puts it aside. I scoot to the end of my bed, getting away as far as I can. "W-what do you want?" I bravely ask. He stares at me before hugging me, catching me off guard.

I tried to struggle, but it was no use. This isn't right!

"It's okay Ace, just breathe," he whispered, softly caressing my hair. I did what was asked and breath.

Tears stopped flowing as I feel calm and warm. In relied and set my head on his shoulder, staining his robe with wet tears. "Why are you helping me?" I mumble. He pulled me away before smiling at me like and idiot "Well duh, didn't want anyone dying of hyperventilating, would ya?" He jokes. I rolled my eyes and hugged myself into a ball.

"I shouldn't trust a Slytherin like you....." I whisper. "Well that's just rude," he comments before turning me to face him. "I saved you and helped you, didn't I? Also, I need that med kit back or Miss Nightingale would kill me," he chuckles.

I looked up with big eyes and quickly grabbed the kit "Oh no! I'm sorry!" I say and grab the med kit from my desk. I shoved it onto his arms. Oh gosh, what if he beats me up? I'm not emotionally and mentally prepared yet!

William sets his big hands on my head, gently rubbing it and making me blush. "Relax, stop being so paranoid," he reassures.

He stands up and peaks outside "Might as well ditch class. Wanna join?" He asks, spinning the med kit on his finger.

I quickly shook my head "No! I-I'm not supposed to!" I say. I'm a Ravenclaw for Pete's sake.... They'll take away points from my house!

William groans and pulls my hand "Come on! It'll be fun~" he says and winks, pulling out... the invisibility cloak?

Oh Powerful Merlin please help me....

******

We we're running at the hallways, sliding on floors and pranking other students-well, he does the pranking and I just watch.

I laugh as William makes a kid carry a a big frog instead of his books. He snickers and lends me his wand "Wanna try?" He asks.

Should I? "But it's not right..." I whisper. He scoffs and grabs my hand, putting the wand "What are you, a Gryffindor? Let loose a little!" He laughs. Maybe I should....

With shaking hands, I pointed it at Kevin who was currently flirting with Vera. I made it zap out a random magic which had hit the student, making him into.... a cat?

I heard Vera laugh, clutching her stomach as Kevin looks confused. William laughs and pats my back "You did it nerd! You're a hero!" He cackled out, making me giggle. We ran into a corner and pulled out the cloak, letting out laughters as we lean on the wall side by side.

"Didn't know you had it in you, Ace!" He comments, resting his hand on my shoulder. "Heh, yeah..." I chuckle out, looking at his hand, then to his face.

He was smiling, luring me in. We just stared at each other, not awkwardly or creepily. It feels, comfortable....

"Ugh, that's gay,"

We were woken up by none other than Naib Subedar. The three stood at the only exit in the corner. "Well done William! You managed to trick the gaywad," Naib laughs, clapping his hands.

Trick? What? I looked at William, who was shocked and confused "What? I didn't trick him! How did you-" William's sentence was stopped when Kreacher shushed him. "Look at where you're standing, William," Servais says and points up.

I looked up. "Slytherin's house...." I mumble as I look at the tanned man. "You... lead me here? You're.... lying to me?" I whisper. He didn't answer.

I should have known. I shouldn't trust Slytherins.

I felt tears fall down "I thought I could trust you... I thought you were different... I thought you felt the same!" He broke me heart.

He looked at me sad and shocked "I-I am! I didn't know they'd be hanging out here!" He explains.

I didn't want to hear it. I quickly turned to my heels, walking out of the corner, only to be stopped by Naib's leg blocking the way. "May we continue from earlier?" He chuckles and punches me on my chest.

I gasp and fall to the floor. "Sorry to burst your bubble but gay wizards aren't allowed in this area," Kreacher says and stomps on my chest.

Servais summoned water and splashed it on my face "Here, let me clean you up- oh wait, gayness can't be removed. Sucks to be you," He says and drops another water splash on my face.

I cry as I get beaten up by the three, watching as William tries to pull them away.

Maybe they're right. I-I don't belong....

I see William punch Naib off "Back off, William! Wait...." Naib trails off. Suddenly, he laughs and points at me "Don't tell me.... you like this faggot?!" He exclaims, kicking me again. William blushes and back away. "That's none of your business, Naib!" he growls and pushes him.

"Didn't expect that from the toughest Slytherin! Wait till the whole house fin-" He was caught off by Williams punch. Naib wipes off blood from his nose, glaring at the tanned man "Why you...." He growls and started punching William. The other two started to join in, leaving me to bleed.

The fight continued on. I saw William get beaten up by the three.

I felt useless knowing I can't do anything to save him like how he saved me.

I'm useless and pathetic.

I cry softly as I watch William get punched and kicked.

Naib cackles and holds him up by his collar "Not so tough are you, Hogwarts biggest gay boy?" Naib laugh, lifting up his fist about to pun-

"NAIB!" A gasp was heard. I weakly look to the side and saw Tracy and Esther with shocked faces. I reached out my hand "H-help... him..." I whimper out.

Tracy quickly got her wand out and said a spell, making Servais and Kreacher get tied up.

Esther quickly went to my side and started healing me up a little "Tracy get William!" She yells. Tracy started helping William and aiding him to us.

Naib froze, not knowing what to do. I felt Esther's grip get tighter. "Naib, how could you?" She whispers, standing up. "L-listen this isn't what it looks like-" He was cut off by Esther bumping his shoulder. "I don't know you," she mumbles and stops when she passes him "I'm calling the medics and mom," she announces and run off.

Naib fell down, clutching his robe.

I heard William snicker beside me, making me look at him "He got what he deserved," He coughs out, laying his head on my shoulder. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," he whimpers. I chuckle and lay my head on top of his "No, it's okay," I say and kiss the top of his head. "You were great,"

Sorry if it's all over the place ;-;

Thankyou DoubleReverse for requesting this! Hope you enjoy this EXTRA long chapter.

Also sorry if it wasn't as angsty and wasn't the one you wanted. I was confused to what plot I should use and stuff.
