Forbidden Love

Chapter one: I'm back, and there's some trouble

Third POV

Y/N Diggory is starting her 5th year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry belonging to Gryffindor house, she is surprised her parents let her go back, due to the uprising of Lord Voldemort, although the ministry said it was a lie, she believed it. She is 15 years old, and she picked up her school supplies from Diagon Alley already, waiting for the Hogwarts Express on platform 9 3/4. As she entered the train, she noticed Ron, harry, and hermione, some of her only friends at Hogwarts. She sat with them and they were all pretty close, as she sat down hermione said something, "Y/N, where have you been? Why didn't you write back to us? You had us worried after what happened last year."
She suddenly remembered the horrific contents of that night, during the last task of the Triwizard Champion. Her and Cedric were siblings, so his death hit her hard. They had always been closer and he had always been there for her.
" I-I uh just..."
" Go on, shpet et out" Ron said as he stuffed his with a chocolate frog from the trolley.
" Hus death hit me hard, alright? I wasn't in the mood to be sending letter back and forth, especially when I knew you would bring it up, just like right now." Y/N said, not yelling, but with a harsh tone, still not over his death. The rest of the ride, she was silent. She fell asleep as well.

Once Y/N, ron, harry and hermione arrived, they got into the carriages to go to Hogwarts. Once arriving at Hogwarts it was dark, they all saw the first years walking up all of the stairs up to the castle. Even after all of these years the castle still left Y/N astonished with it's beauty, especially at night. Once arriving in the Great Hall, Y/N sat at the Gryffindor table, leaving Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the other end of the table. As she sat down, Dumbledore began his speech to the first years, Y/N looked over at the staff table, not paying attention to a word Dumbledore was saying as usual, she noticed a new professor, wearing all pink, she seemed.... unusually happy and/or excited, and then she spotted the potions master next to her. She had always seen him from a different perspective from her other peers, she wasn't necessarily afraid of him, although he was intimidating, she'd admit it. Something changed this year, whether something in him changed or something in her changed, she seemed interested in why he was so stern, asking herself all these questions about him.

'Why is he always so harsh on the students?'

'Has he always been like this?'

'I wonder what he was like as a child.'

She found herself staring, analyzing his facial expressions, his hair, watching every little detail on his face. Every tiny muscle movement, thinking, although, why was she suddenly so interested in his past and who he was as a person? She suddenly looked away as he shot her a glare, the kind that isn't necessarily scary, or intimidating, nore out of confusion, as to why she was staring at him. After this, Y/n was quite embarrassed, as you would think. The sorting ceremony then took place, adding students to every house as The sorting hat was placed on new heads. The feast began, not much happened during the feast, only Professor Snape's eyes meeting hers once again, this time she blushed. After the feast, she met up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to head to the common rooms, as they walked harry and Y/n had the brilliant idea to sneak out that might, go exploring. Hermione, tried to tell them no, especially after Umbridge's speech, but they decided to anyways, Ron just stayed back with Hermione.

Harry and Y/n got the invisibility cloak he had received in his first year. They were walking around the Corridors, wandering, trying not to get caught by Mrs. Norris, and they began talking about the loss of Y/n's brother when they suddenly heard footsteps. Harry forgot the Mauraders Map, as he would, so he had no way of telling who it was. The footsteps began to get louder and louder as they tried to find areas to hide, but there were none, other than the cloak. It was 2 hours past curfew midnight. Harry and Y/n were so close after going under the cloak, they were practically hugging, and they backed up slowly to the wall, as they heard the footsteps right next to them. All they could see was the silhouette of a tall man, as there were no lights, other than the little bit shining through the windows. He seemed to be looking for them, so they figured he knew they were there.

'It's literally the first night back why would we sneak out like this?'

Y/n thought, as the man seemed to be walking away, as he passed the corner they came out from under the cloak, and as they walked around the corner that the man had came from, the original direction they had been going, Y/n turned around for a second too long and hit a trophy case, nothing broke, but it was quite loud as they had been trying to get away from the area. Suddenly they heard loud footsteps coming back in their direction and proceeded to run. As the man chased them, the looked back and soon realized it was their potions professor.

"YOU GET BACK HERE"

Is all Harry heard before he realized he was running alone now.
