Pity the living- slytherin boys

New broom

"Hello Alice." Lupin passes me in the corridor.

"Hi Moony. What's with the bags?" My face falls when I see all oh his bags, packed, following behind him.

"I've resigned." He answers.

I knew he won't stay another year, this job is cursed after all.

"I'll miss you." I sigh.

"It's okay. I have a feeling we'll meet over summer." He smiles.

"I hope we will." I smile back.

"Goodbye, Alice."

"Goodbye prof- Moony." I correct myself quickly as he walks away.

I walk to the great hall and sit at the Gryffindor table.

"Have you seen what Harry got?" Ron asks me.

"No what is it?" I reply.

"There he is! Harry!" Neville runs to the boy who just entered the great hall, "where ever did you get it?" He asks.

"Can I have a go, Harry? After you, of course." Seamus runs up to him as well.

"What are you talking about?" Harry walks towards us.

"Quiet. Let the man through. I didn't mean to open it, Harry. It was badly wrapped. They made me do it." Ron points at Fred and George.

"Did not." They say at the same time.

"Harry takes the wrapper off the object that was laying on the table

"It's a Firebolt."

"It's the fastest broom in the world."

People say around the table.

"For me? But who sent it?" Harry's eyes full with excitement.

"No one knows." Ron responds.

"This came with it." Hermione lifts up a feather... of a Hippogriff.

"Hey, princess!" Enzo yells from the door to the great hall.

"Are you coming?" Theo shouts to me.

I put my hand in Harry's shoulder, "congratulations on the broom."

I walk away from the Gryffindors and to the two Slytherins waiting for me.

We enter their dorm, full of laughter.

Mattheo and Tom are there.

"What did Dumbledore need to speak to you about?" Theo asks me as we sit down on his bed.

"You won't believe it! He asked if we were dating!" I laugh.

"There is no way he asked that." He snickers.

"Did." I reply through laughing.

"Was that all?" He asks.

"He also said I am the most powerful witch he knows." I brag.

"He said that?" Enzo joins our conversation after he brought snacks.

"In other words, yes." I grin at him.

"Hey, I bought you Snowflakes at Honey Dukes since you didn't come the last time we went to Hogsmead." Theo is so fucking sweet.

I open up the box of the snowflake candy.

Mattheo stares at it while Enzo, Theo and I talk.

"Mattheo, if you want some you could just take it. I don't mind sharing food. Besides, it's your best friend that bought it." I hand him the box and he grabs a few and hands it back.

"Thanks." He says.

"No problem." I smile at him. I'm in a truly amazing mood today.

"What even happened that you fainted?" Enzo asks.

I look around, "Well, since everyone here knows Sirius is innocent, I might as well say," I lay a snowflake on my tongue, letting it slowly melt, "Sirius, Lupin and I decided to go to the shrieking shack ti finally tell Harry the truth about Pettigrew and catch him." I explain.

"The shrieking shack? Isn't that badly haunted?" Tom asks.

"Isn't Hogwarts badly haunted?" I respond.

"That is true." Theo agrees.

"But what made you faint?" Enzo better repeats his question.

"Well, I was chasing after Pettigrew, alone. I tried to shoot a spell that will make him human again since he was in his rat form. When I succeeded he complained like a little baby. Then I heard something from the trees. I told him to shut up and he did. I looked to the tree beside me and... ice. The leaves were full of ice. I look to my other side and a dementor attacked me. My wand fell and Pettigrew used my wand to turn himself back into a rat and ran away, leaving my wand far away from me. I just thought of my best memory and cast a patronus." I tell the story.

"Without a wand?" Theo asks.

"That's not possible." Tom speaks up.

"You can ask Snape if you don't believe me." I say.

"There aren't a lot of wizards and witches who can do that. I have to say I'm impressed."
