The Protector

Sirius Black In The Castle

Draco's POV

"Come on, Bridget," I listened as I was walking away. It was a while before she replied with an okay.

I listened to us parting our separate ways. I glanced back and saw nobody. I sighed. Why didn't I tell her?! Why did I have to be so...bleh around her and not anyone else?!

I came up the fencing of the restricted area. I looked in disgust at the old piece of garbage. I looked around to make sure nobody was around, "Nobody?"

Silence.

"Great," I sighed. "Why are you even still here?" I asked the non-living house. "I mean you're useless. Nobody can live in you. You don't have any electricity, and AC."

After looking at it in silence, a thought popped into my mind, "Maybe with a touch of magic, we could fix you. Seeing you finished and not as if you're going to fall over and collapse in on yourself. Just a little push and-"

I groaned, "I need a little push, huh? I can't just tell her. I wish I could just tell her, but she's with Potter all the time. And I want to tell her at somewhere that's special. I really hope she's not into that one dude. He's bad for her. She doesn't know-"

"Who doesn't know what, Drakey?" Pansy's voice boomed across the plains.

I rolled my eyes and groaned, "Oh, nothing."

"Were you talking about me?" she came over and hugged my arm.

Uh-Uh-, "Sure."

"What don't I know?" she giggled.

"A lot that you'll know eventually."

Bridget's POV

"So how'd it go?" Hermione asked.

I shrugged in response.

"It was your first date and all you can do is shrug?!" Ron asked.

"Yeah," I nodded. "I don't know if I'll go on the second one. Too much to do."

"Bridge," Hermione started, "I'm glad you have priorities, but you need to go out and do things."

"Says you," Ron argued.

"Oh hush up Ronald," she scowled. "I might've if someone had asked me."

"Well, you could've hung out with other friends," Ron groaned.

I rolled my eyes as we came up to the castle. They went on bickering, but I didn't listen. I soon saw a dark haired boy standing in the doorway, waiting for our return.

I smiled and ran up to him, "Harry!" I gave him a huge hug. He hugged me back, and laughed. I released him, "Are you okay? Did you get bored?"

"Oh, stop smothering me," he waved me away. "I already have Mrs. Weasley to do that. And I'm fine. I talked a bit with Professor Lupin, and he's pretty cool. I read some of your books. Why do you have class books for Ancient Ruins, Occlumency, Advanced Potions, and Trasfiguration?"

"I want to learn without having to be in the class," I nodded. "And I know how cool Lupin is. We've talked before as well. He's...taught me somethings."

"That's good," Harry smiled.

"She was physically touching with Draco," I heard Ron's voice from the left of me.

Through my peripheral vision, I elbowed him in the gut. I heard him groan and huff.

Harry gave me that mom look, "What?"
