Engaged to a Malfoy

Third Year

Chapter 20: Third Year

ⓔⓝⓙⓞⓨ

"Excuse me." I told the first years as I walked to the empty compartment.

Well, not empty anymore.

It's now mine.

I settled down as I read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander.

After second year, my life became VERY boring.

My parents are very busy and always out.

Leaving me alone.

I always owl Draco though. I told him that maybe not having his hair slicked back can be a very good change.

I'm very delighted when he agreed.

I sighed then closed the book. I feel dizzy.

I stared at the window, admiring the scenery.

"Excuse me, is it alright if I sit here?" A voice asked.

I nodded. "Go ahead." I replied, still staring at the view.

I felt the person sat down in front of me.

"Did you miss me, darling?" The  voice asked.

I turned then my eyes met his perfect blue grey ones.

I was curious who this guy is at first, then I realized...

"Draco? Is that you?" I asked.

He let out a sigh before smirking. "You forgot me already?" He asked.

I blushed. "I-I'm sorry. It's just, you changed a lot."

"Maybe it's because my hair isn't slicked back anymore." He said.

"And I like it so much." I said.

He turned red. "You do?"

I nodded then extended my hand to touch his hair. "Can I-"

"No." He said, swatting my hand away.

I frowned. "Geez, this is just like the first time we met."

*Flashback*

"Y/N, I want you to meet Draco. Draco, I want you to meet Y/N."

"Hello." I greeted the boy.

"Hi." He replied.

"Now, I want you two to have fun. I'm going to a meeting. Behave." Draco's father said.

We nodded.

I stared at Draco's hair. It's so beautiful.

I went to touch it, but he swatted my hand away.

He growled. "No touch."

I huffed. "Fine."

***

"Oh yeah. I remember now." He said.

Then Crabbe, Goyle...and Pansy entered.

I sighed. Why is Pansy here?

Crabbe and Goyle sat in front of us.

Pansy, well, beside Draco.

"Have you heard? Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban!" Goyle said.

We nodded. "We better be careful. There are many Dementors, and they're not forgiving."
I said, making their eyes go wide.

Then there's a sudden shake in the train.
Pansy let out a squeal then held Draco's arm.

"What was that?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes. "It's nothing."

Then the lights went out.

Crabbe and Goyle let out a girly scream.

"Cut it out!" Draco hissed, making them stop.

"Now I know who to scare." I mumbled.

"Welcome, welcome to another year at Hogwarts! Now, I like to say a few words. First, and please to welcome, Professor R. J Lupin who's kindly filling the post of the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher," we all clapped.

"Potter," Draco called. "Potter!"

The trio turned to face Draco.

"Is it true you fainted? I mean, you actually fainted?" Draco asked, chuckling a bit.

I held his arm. "Enough, Draco." I said softly,

"Shove off, Malfoy." Ron spat.

Harry smiled at me. I smiled back.

Hermione gave me a small smile before turning to Harry. "Just forget it." She said.

"Our Care For Magical Creatures teacher for many years has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs,"

Dumbledore continued. "Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that this place will be taken by nine other than our own Rubeus Hagrid. Finally, on a more describing note at the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azkaban until such a time Sirius Black is captured. The Dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not 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 who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a Dementor to be forgiving, but you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light.
