The Slytherin Prince And Princess ✔️

3. Third Year

Third Year started off with the train getting rather cold and dark, it turned out that there were Dementors on the train. When we arrived we all sat down in our houses and Dumbledore started off his usual speech

"Welcome, wellcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now I'd like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled by our excellent fest" I roll my eyes and sigh
"When doesn't he give a speech" I earn a smile from Draco
"First, I'm please to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin, who's kindly consented to fill the post of Defence Against The Dark Arts. Good luck professor" Lupin stands up as the room erupts into applause
"Oi, Potter" I look at Draco who's turned around. I notice Ron and Harry both looking at Draco "is it true you fainted?" I snicker at this then pretend to faint "you fainted, actually fainted?"
"Shove off Malfoy" Ron and Harry turn back to their table. Dumbledore drones on about school and boring stuff, that is until he mentions Sirius Black
"Hogwarts will until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban until such a time as Sirius Black is captured"
"Draco isn't your mum his cousin or something?" I frown looking at my best friend
"Yeah unfortunately. Blood traitor he is" Draco sneers
"Now whilst I've been assured that their presence wont disrupt our day to day activities a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one that gets in their way. Therefore I must warn you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving"

Harry apparently had the grim that year, whatever that means. We had our first lesson with Hagrid, Care of Magical Creatures

Draco and I arrive in the woods holding our books
"This place has gone to the dogs. Wait until my father hears that Dumbledores got this oaf teaching classes" Draco spits, Crabbe and Goyle chuckle while I role my eyes at them. They are always trying to please Draco
"Shut up Malfoy" Harry walks towards us. Draco hands me his bag and walks forward looking rather smug, but his expression changes and shouts
"Dementor, dementor" Harry turns around looking rather scared making us all laugh putting our hoods up and wiggling out fingers with our hands out. Hargrid clears his throat and introduces us to Buckbeak, a hippogriff. Harry ends up flying around Hogwarts of his back, I can see that Draco is a little jealous
"Your not dangerous at all are you?"
"Draco I wouldn't..." I begin to say trying to stop him, mother had told me once how dangerous hippogriff can be
"Your just a great ugly brute" this upsets the hippogriff which ends ip pushing Draco on the floor "it's killed me it's killed me"
"Calm down its just a scratch"
"Hagrid! he has to be taken to the hospital" Hermione shouts. Hagrid lifts Draco up and tells us that class is dismissed.

Later that day I head over to the hospital wing
"Hey" I smile at Draco who has got a sling on
"That bloody thing will be killed"
"Oh Draco is that really a good idea? mum told me these creatures are sensitive and I mean you acted a bit of a fool if you ask me"
"Well I didn't did I?" Draco spits. He gets up and we head over to the great hall
"Does it hurt terribly Draco?" Astoria flirts
"It comes at it goes. Still I consider my lucky. According to Madam Pomfrey, another minute or two and I uh could have lost my arm"
"Your fine Draco it's a scratch. Should have respected Buckbeak"
"Don't tell me your going soft?" Draco frowns at me
"No, but he is just an animal protecting himself"
"He's been sighted he's been sighted" Seamus runs in holding a news paper
"Who?" someone asks
"Sirius Black" most of Griffindor seem nervous.

During DATDA that year we learnt about a boggart and how to defeat them
"Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart. Let's practice it now. Uh, without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus. Very good. A little louder nice and clear. Riddikulus"
"This class is ridiculous" Draco says under his breath. We finally get around to facing our biggest fears
"Miss Silverling your next" Lupin says as I step forward nervously. In front of me is my father looking at me with disappointment written all over his face
"Riddikulus" I point my wand and he ends up with makeup on. Next up is Harry who's boggart is a dementor. This ends up with class ending.

The rest of the was odd. Sirius was spotted inside Hogwarts, Lupin wasn't always in class, we learnt about werewolves. The quidditch tournament was in the thunder and lightning, which ended with Harry falling off his broomstick. Ron also ended up in the hospital and Hermione punched Draco! the amount of deja vu I had this year was crazy!

Thursday will be the start of the story properly. I'm so excited for the proper start of the story. Hopefully you all enjoy ❤️
