I laid awake for most of the night. I had so many thoughts in my mind.

Why was Florence wearing Malfoy's hoodie?

What were they talking about after I left?

Why did he try to kiss her?

My blood boiled and my fists clenched as I reminded myself of what he did to her. I swore to myself never to let him get that opportunity again.

Jeez, I sound like I fancy her or something.

I woke up feeling as though I had just fallen asleep. My thoughts just won't leave me alone.

Florence entered the great hall today looking somewhat lost in thought. It made me wonder how she was really feeling about everything.

The four of us sat down and had our daily morning chat. This time about our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor R.J Lupin.

"But just look at him!" Hermione exclaimed. "He looks like a drunk who hasn't slept weeks!"

Florence nudged her arm. "Oh cmon Mione! You don't know what he's been through. Plus, he saved you all from the dementor on the train."

"That's true, but bloody hell I agree with Hermione on this one. Look at him!" Ron said.

We all slowly turned our heads to examine Professor Lupin. He was slouched over, with huge bags under his eyes. He had been cutting his scrambled egg for the past 10 minutes.

"Well as long as he's not like Lockheart or Quirell then we'll be fine." Hermione said.

"With my luck he'll be worse than them combined." I mumbled.

I subtly scanned the room looking for Malfoy, but he wasn't here. Lucky for him.

Seamus burst into the great hall screeching "He's been sighted! He's been sighted!" He slammed down a newspaper onto the table for us all to see.

"Who?" Ron asked.

All the Gryffindors gathered round while the other houses tried to listen in.

"Sirius Black!" Seamus replied.

"In Dufftown? That's not far from here." Hermione gasped as she read the article.

Fred and George looked worriedly at each other.

"What if he comes here?!" Lavender Brown asked, sounding terrified.

"Even so, Hogwarts is the safest place right now, so we'll all be fine I'm sure." Katie assured us, trying to keep calm.

"But Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke." Bem said grimly.

Ron, Hermione, and Florence all looked at me with a concerned face. I had to admit, I was starting to feel a bit scared now.

He was coming for me after all.

After finishing our breakfast we made our way to the DADA classroom. I noticed all the chairs and tables were piled at the side of the room and a single wardrobe stood alone in the middle of it all.

I looked around to examine the room and noticed Florence was happily talking away to Malfoy in the corner of the room.

Laughing. They were laughing. Draco Malfoy was laughing. It annoyed me so much because Malfoy doesn't laugh, and the one time he does, it's with Florence.
