OCC?
When Draco woke up he was in the infirmary, he sighed, going to the infirmary was becoming a habit for him, he tried to sit up and realized that everything hurt, he didn't seem to have any serious injuries, the side table next to him was full of sweets and things, it was really curious. He stayed thoughtful trying to remember and then he did it, he tried to help Potter and instead they both fell, he looked at the stretchers on the sides, but there was no sign of Potter, how much time had passed since Saturday?
【 User your actions were undoubtedly OCC I will have to subtract...】
"It wasn't OCC" Draco said mentally looking at the system screen. "Think about it this way Draco Malfoy saved Harry Potter, the boy who lived, it means he owes him a favor and his reputation at Hogwarts will increase exponentially, plus Slytherin won the match"
【 ....】
The system didn't answer, Draco had already discovered that his OCC actions justified in the proper way would make the system not take points away from him, he had tried to save Harry as a fan of the novel he couldn't resist just watching him fall and hurt himself, although naturally it didn't help and almost made him lose points.
The more he thought about it the more frustrated he became, he was a complete idiot, he had acted on impulse and well it wasn't like much was going to happen to Harry with or without his help, that's what he was the protagonist for, to a certain extent he was immortal, he ran a hand through his hair, he really was an idiot... He heard footsteps and looked up, it was Potter, they looked at each other for a second.
— I'm glad you're okay... — Harry then blurted out, the phrase coming out as if against his will — Thanks for trying to catch me... and I'm sorry you got hurt
Draco didn't know what to do, should he answer with sarcasm? some scathing comment? He could see the sincerity in Harry
— Uh... it's okay... it was nothing — he blurted out in a low tone, slightly embarrassed, Harry smiled.
【 You have obtained 200 points of affinity with the protagonist】
Who would say that talking to Harry gave so many points, they remained silent, Harry shifted uncomfortably.
— I'll go tell Madame Pomfrey that you're awake... — the black-haired man informed — see you later...
Harry left a while later, he looked at the blond before leaving the infirmary, dismayed by his own actions, did he say thank you? Well, actually, he was more dismayed at the idea that he didn't imagine Malfoy trying to catch him out of the air, but that it actually happened, and he couldn't help but feel guilty when he woke up a day later with some minor injuries and Draco took five days to wake up and had broken his arm again and this time it was his fault.
⊱⊱ ──── ⊰·☆·⊱──── ⊰⊰
Madame Pomfrey checked Draco over carefully, this time genuinely concerned because he had already been to the hospital wing twice so far this year, although she also congratulated him for the good deed he did even if it wasn't that effective.
Well, that was comforting in a way and seeing the positive side of it, people would either suspect him or change their perception, but either way, Potter owed him one.
Madame Pomfrey after examining Draco and giving him some potions determined that he should stay another night in the infirmary just to be safe, Draco nodded, he didn't feel like going to class either. He was there going to the roof when the Slytherin Qudditch team entered the infirmary.
— Well it seems that our star seeker with a hero complex has woken up — Marcus Flint said slightly mockingly, but with a kind smile.— I'm glad you're okay, after all it was because of you that we won the match, although we are eager to hear your side of the story.
Everyone nodded
— It was quite impressive — the beater mentioned somewhat mockingly.— although no one has any complaints considering that you caught the snitch
— Well if I hadn't helped Potter, the others would have said that I pushed him off the broom or something like that — he said waving his hand as if to downplay it.
【 + 50 points. Keep it up user!】
The system congratulated you, apparently that would be something Draco would say and stick to, even though deep down in his heart he knew he did it for no particular reason, just motivated to save Harry. His fellow Slytherins nodded in approval at his actions.
— Well, why did Potter fall in the first place? — a girl asked. — they were too high up to see what really happened.
— Dementors — he answered simply, everyone opened their eyes in surprise. — the dementors approached, Potter fell, naturally I was the only one nearby.
— Who would have thought, half the school has labeled Potter a liar for saying that, in fact as you said many assumed that you knocked him off the broom.
— Well we can't blame them — he gave a knowing laugh — Slytherins do everything to win. Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement. — Although this time I had nothing to do with it, in fact I caught the snitch before going to rescue Potter.
Draco and his teammates talked for a while longer until they left Draco alone in the infirmary, eating some chocolate frogs that they left for him on the side table. Then Professor Snape entered the infirmary.
— Should I assume that you have lost your mind? Or that you have been possessed? — the professor asked him coldly, but there was a certain degree of familiarity in the scolding, he had once read about Snape being Draco Mlafoy's godfather, the problem was that he was just now having trouble differentiating cannon from fannon.
— Well I haven't lost my mind, professor — he said with a small cheeky laugh — and I'm still the same as always.
Snape looked at him doubtfully, Draco's head suddenly hurt, Snape raised an eyebrow.
"May I ask how long has my godson been so skilled in Occlumency?" He asked with some sarcasm. "I didn't know you had that talent, Draco."
Well that answered his question, regardless of whether it was cannon or not, in this universe Snape is his godfather and as he had anticipated he would have intended to use Legilimency on him.
"I'm afraid I wanted to impress you and now you've ruined the surprise, godfather."
【+20 points of affinity with Severus Snape】
— Cheeky brat — he said annoyed, but he could notice the slight smile that formed at the corners of his lips.— Your mother has found out what happened, you must write to her, I think I have never received so many letters from the same person
— Of course, I will send her a letter as soon as Madame Pomfrey discharges me, Professor, do you know if my broom is okay?
Snape muttered something to himself that he couldn't hear.
— Yes, it was luckier than Potter's, but we can't say the same about your wand, it was broken in half — said Snape.
Draco frowned at that, but the positive side of the matter was that he would have a wand that would do him good, because as he understood wands had a single owner unless their loyalty changed through a duel, he was not Malfoy, at least not in essence, that was the reason why all his enchantments seemed to fail, because he was not the authentic Malfoy and the wand could sense it.
— Well luckily for me, I don't think my father will have problems with giving me money for a new wand — he answered shrugging his shoulders. — Should I assume that my godfather will accompany me to such an exhausting task?
The system appears again
【Side quest Assigned. Location: Diagon Alley (Ollivander Wand Shop) Quest: Get a new wand!】
Well that was simple, very simple and apparently there were no conditions and no option to decline, it seemed like a mandatory quest to continue with the plot, even if it didn't affect it directly. He also had to take into account that the original Draco would never have helped Potter and therefore wouldn't have broken his wand. It was kind of funny to see Snape as a quest-giving NPC, he had to stop himself from laughing.
— Unfortunately, it is part of my duty as head of Slytherin and your godfather — he said with false annoyance. — I'll wait for you tomorrow at 9 o'clock in my office to go get the wand, have a good night.
— Understood — Draco nodded and smiled, Snape responded slightly to the gesture by moving his hand and left the infirmary leaving him alone once again.
