The Snakes Princess (Draco Malfoy X OC/Reader)

Fifth year | Frog lady

He lunged towards Draco, being held back by Ron. Draco jumped back, a smug smile on his face. 

"What'd I tell you? Complete nutter." He walked off, I ran after Draco.

He never stops, he always has to provoke Harry in some way.

"Just stay away from me!" Harry shouted.

Walking to the carriages, I looked at the things pulling them along. Thestrals, those were the things that pulled them. Only those who have seen death can see them, and I've seen death now. Cedric's to be exact, the vision is the reason I see them. Taking us to the castle, we sat and listened to Dumbledore's annual speech.

"Good evening, children. Now, we have two changes in staffing this year. We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank... who'll be taking Care of Magical Creatures... while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave. We also wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... Professor Dolores Umbridge. And I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the professor good luck."

I looked at the table, the woman sitting there looked like a toad decked in pink. Mother had told me about her, she was an awful woman who didn't deserve the position she has.

"Now, as usual, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you..." Dumbledore stopped as Umbridge cleared her sickeningly sweet voice.

She stood up, a fake smile on her face, "Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright... happy faces smiling up at me. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends."

I rolled my eyes, that's likely.

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered... the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. Although each headmaster... has brought something new to this historic school... progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved... perfect what can be perfected... and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."

She sat down, and there was awkward clapping all around. I looked at Draco, who had a half worried face and half intrigued. I don't need to think about what she was saying at all, because now the ministry is interfering at Hogwarts.

The feast started, we ate from the giant helpings on the table and drank pumpkin juice.
Draco and Parkinson lead the first years to the common room.

Going to the common rooms, I laid on my bed. My wand out, I tried to cast my patronus, but the most that would happen was a bit of white wisps coming out the end.

"Still unable to produce a full patronus?" Millicent smiled.

"Guess the memories aren't happy enough?"

I sat up, watching Millicent bring out a bag of apple chips. She sat on her bed eating them.

"Any idea as to what's going to happen as the war continues to brew?"

I shrugged, Mother and Father were only staying in place because I convinced them to. We haven't hid yet because I didn't want to leave Draco.

"Mills, you remember the vision I had from the spell?" She nodded, worried. "Cedric's death wasn't the only one I saw. I saw Draco, on the floor bleeding out. That's the only reason I'm still here and I know he has you looking out for me, but I'm worried."
