Frozen

Train Ride

When I went back to Dad's compartment, I saw him together with Harry Potter, who was eating chocolate, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. 

"Are you guys okay?" I asked them.

"We're fine. Just had a little encounter with a Dementor." Dad said.

"Did you hear anyone scream?" Harry asked.

"No, sorry." I said. "Why?"

"Nothing." He muttered.

"Dad, were you the one who conjured the charm?"  I asked him.

"Yes, I did. Did anything happen to you?" He asked.

"A Dementor almost entered the compartment I was in but the charm drew it away." I replied.

"Good. I'll be back in a minute. I just need to do something." He said and left.

Silence took over us four but then Hermione asked, "He's your father?" 

I wanted to say 'obviously since I've been calling him Dad a while ago' but instead, I said, "Yeah, why?"

"Your father will be a Professor at Hogwarts and you're okay with that?" She asked.

"Yeah. It's cool, actually, having your father as your Professor. You'll get a higher grade." I said in a joking manner.

Apparently, she thought I wasn't joking because she said, "That's unfair!"

"I was joking!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, sorry." She muttered.

"It's okay." I said.

I, then, just noticed that Harry and Ron have been looking at me like I'm something delicious to eat. I snapped my fingers in front of their faces and when it didn't work, I slapped their cheeks.

"Ouch!" They exclaimed. 

"What was that for?" Ron asked.

"You've been staring at me like I'm something delicious." I stated.

"Who wouldn't? You're the Queen of Hogwarts!" He said.

"Yeah and you're an idiot for thinking that." I said. "Who even started that rubbish?"

"Almost all of the boy population in Hogwarts." Harry replied.

I groaned and mumbled, "Then they must all be blind."

I guess Hermione heard me because she was silently chuckling but then stopped when she noticed I was looking at her.

"Why aren't you being mean to us?" She suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You're a Slytherin." She said.

"Yeah but I'm not mean. I'm not like Malfoy and his lackeys. I'm a nice Slytherin. I promise." I explained.

She sighed in relief and I sat beside her. We never said anything after that conversation. I changed into my uniform and instead of going back to Dad's compartment, I sat with Daphne and Blaise instead.
