FOURTH YEAR

Daisy sat quietly in the library with Hermione, the pair working on their DADA projects together. The Fourth year students scanned their textbooks thoroughly as they jotted down notes for their topic.

Throughout the last couple of years at Hogwarts, not only has Daisy been dragged into every problem with Harry and the trio, but it has taken a toll on her relationship with her father.

Now with the Fourth year coming to an end, the two Wizarding schools that came for the tournament now gone, Daisy was more than relieved the school year was just about over.

When both Cedric and Harry had returned with the Triwizard cup, Cedric has been bloodied and unconscious. He ended up being severely injured due to the Dark Lord, according to Harry, who had now returned from the dead.

It all was an enormous mystery as to if Potter was telling the truth, and once Cedric had awoken from his weak state, his answer confirmed the rumors.

To say everyone had believed it would've been a lie. Many thought Harry had somehow bewitched Cedric into believing this, many just thought Cedric was still out of it.

Dumbledore knew it was the truth. Many signs pointed to it, and Daisy knew most about this thanks to Harry.

She could never forget the day he came into the Great Hall, telling them all the truth about Professor Moody and the fake identity. Everything was just beginning to worsen, but as for her father and mother, things were now falling into place.

If the dark wizard had really has returned, she knew where he most likely will be located. That scared her more than anything.

Along with everything happening in the Fourth year, she still couldn't master meeting new people, now realizing she prefers to keep to herself. Of course, she was thankful for the friends she had, but when they wanted to go to Hogsmeade or a party, she was in the Slytherin Commons reading.

As for the Weasley twins, they were inseparable when it came to Daisy. Many said their friendship was odd because she was quite the opposite of them both.

She was kind, soft, sweet. Whereas the twins were complete party animals. Some people often wondered how the three were best friends.

Of course, there was the fact of her being a Malfoy, many students knowing that the Malfoy and Weasley clans have never gotten along. She didn't really pay attention to it.

She was the one who completed their trio. Thanks to how much she's helped them get out of trouble.

Over time as she got to know the twins, she was easily able to tell them apart, no matter how many times they tried to fool her. She always got it right.

'How?' They would ask. The two tall ginger boys always wondered this.

Her answers are always just smiles and a small 'I just do'. The two loved her company. Even if she never preferred to go to parties or drink, they liked how innocent and soft she was. For being a Slytherin especially.

Daisy had one problem though. It started halfway through the second year and then worsened throughout the Fourth year.

Her tiny school-like crush on Fred was the issue.

Of course, George and Lee knew all about it. The way her cheeks would turn crimson when Fred would compliment her, or how she was shyer when he was around. They just knew.

They've encouraged her to tell him, due to how close Fred was to her. Daisy didn't have the courage to.

Her friendship with the twin mattered more than that though. She thought it would burn over eventually, so she chose not to pay any close attention to it.
