Hello!! So I hope you are enjoying the story so far...I felt I needed a chapter break...

I still have no idea what Malfoys secret is...I'm so unorganised. I also don't know how Dementors are going to fit in with the story.

This chapter is going to be in third person. Just because it seems to fit more.

Oh well, enjoy my lovelies!









The golden trio blended in with the crowd so very badly that morning. Harry was constantly glancing around and Ron was watching Hermione's bag like a hawk. They had decided to keep Tumble in there, under the invisibility cloak, as it looked more natural then holding nothing.

The bag kept wiggling as they sat down next to Ginny and Neville.

"Morning!" Ginny sang brightly, pecking Harry on the cheek. He jumped, "Morning..." he replied shakily.

Neville gave the three of them a strange look.

"Bad weather huh." Ron grunted, stuffing his face as usual with sausages, egg and bacon all at once. Hermione grimaced at the sight of him.

"Ronald, don't talk with your mouth full." She groaned, reminding him for the millionth time.

"Hopefully, Slughorn forgets about or partners in potions..." Harry nervously chucked, keeping one eye on the moving bag.

"Doubt it." Neville sighed. "Daphne is alright. She just makes unnecessary comments about my potion making. She is really bad too, so she can't really have a go at me." He grumbled shoving a whole egg into his mouth.

"Pansy is unbearable. She moans and moans, then threaten me, hex me and falls to the floor crying." Ron fumed, clenching his knife and fork tightly.

"Millicent is a greedy bitch. She sits there eating chocolate frogs, and throwing the wrapper in the bloody potion. But on the plus Slughorn knows she does it and gives me bonus points for fixing it." Harry said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, Theodore wants to get good grades, he makes comments about my age and then does it all himself. Of course you get the insults and the snide hexes but it's my turn to give him a bat- bogey hex this afternoon." Ginny grinned evilly, delicately holding her wand between her pale fingers.

"What about you Hermione?" Neville asked. "urm, you know the insults, the hexes. We pretty much ignore each other. She mumbled. In the corner of her eye she saw her bag move forward a bit. Then a little more. The it was full on moving at a quick pace. She gasped and stamped on the strap, kneeing the table; spilling her pumpkin juice but stopping Tumble from moving the bag any further.

Ginny used a quick clean up spell on the drink, Harry also stepped on the strap just in case.

"You okay Hermione?" Ron grumbled, mouth dripping with grease from the bacon. "Yeah, fine, sometimes my leg twitches." She muttered. "Great, now everyone things my legs have random spasms." Hermione thought gingerly eating a piece of toast.

Just then the bell rang and Hermione shot Harry a desperate look. She flung the bag over her shoulder and Tumble thought it was a game, so he cried. Hermione stopped dead in her tracks as she heard an elephant/dragon rawr coming from her bag. A few Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors looked around to see where the noise was coming from. Harry urged Hermione to keep walking and the two of them half walked and half jogged out of the hall.

They didn't stop to say hello as they pushed through the crowd. But disaster struck as they reached charms. Malfoy and his cronies were leaning against the wall by the classroom. They both groaned as they also stood by the wall.

"Look who it is! Potty and Mudblood!" Malfoy drawled. Hermione's bag began to wriggle even more as the Slytherins approached.

"Shut up Malfoy and leave us alone." Harry growled, taking a step closer to them. Theodore Nott leant in close to Harrys face as bared him teeth. "Don't you dare tell us what to-" he began. Suddenly, he was thrown backwards, onto the floor. Massive bogeys were flapping from his nose as he ran in circles screaming. The Slytherins didn't want to be snotted on so they ran screaming too.

The Gryffindors laughed and looked at Ginny Weasley. She stood grinning from ear to ear, her wand out.

Harry and Hermione strode over to her and hugged the fiery red head.

"In." Professor Flitwick called from inside the classroom.

Hermione flashed Harry a desperate look as she sat down next to Ginny.

Whilst professor Flitwick was teaching everyone chatted and summoned things from across the room. Hermione had nearly forgotten about the dragon in her bag, and he was about to be discovered.

Malfoy was too scared to tie up Hermione's hair today, as she sat next to the bat-bogey hex master. He couldn't if he wanted to as her hair was up.

He was laughing and taking the piss out of Hannah Abbot when he saw Grangers bag move. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. The bag twitched again. "Great, now I'm going insane." He thought. Just when he looked away Hermione felt a nudge against her foot. She remembered Tumble and moved the bag so it was covered in her robe.

Malfoy glanced back. The bag was gone. He thought he had imagined it all. So he went back to teasing the Hufflepuffs.

After charms Hermione was paranoid. "What if someone it her bag in the hallway and Tumble turned into a killing machine, stabbing us all with his talons?" She thought. She couldn't stop worrying about the little dragon. What if he didn't have enough air or room in her bag? What if he ate her books? These were all some of her thoughts during lessons. She didn't need to open her bag to get a book out in all of her lessons so far. But after lunch she had herbology and then potions.



During lunch, Hermione; Harry and Ron hurried down the hill to the corner of the grounds by the forbidden forest.

Hermione reluctantly opened her bag and the little dragon flopped out onto the floor.

"Keep an eye on him. Lots of things like to eat him." Ron warned.

Harry scooped up the creature and carried him away from the forest.

"Good idea." Hermione sighed.

Tumble spread his tiny wings and started to wiz around their heads. Ron stood watch, to make sure that no one came by. Dragons were not idea pets for students and were not a loud.

"Malfoy and the Slytherins!" Ron panicked. He jumped into the air, like a ninja and grabbed Tumble. They fell to the floor and hid under the cloak. But they were older now. The cloak could only fit two.

Harry offered to swap with Hermione, as Malfoy didn't really bother him. But just as they were about to swap Malfoy rounded the corner. Hermione was lying on the floor, behind a large rock by herself.

"Hi?" She quivered.

"Hi?" Draco mimicked, sending roars of laughter from his minions.

Hermione shot daggers at him. "What are you doing here?" Pansy sneered.

"I could ask you the same question." Granger replied, holding her head high.

"Granger, there is more of us and only you. Stop that load of Gryffindor bravery shit, you're scared." Malfoy snarled, stepping towards her.

Any normal person would have backed off, but Hermione was a Gryffindor and she was scared, but wasn't going to let them know that.

He drew his wand and pointed it at her throat. The rest of his gang laughed. Hermione drew her own wand silently and whilst Malfoy was chuckling she pointed it at his chest. She even stabbed it in a little. He looked down and fear flashed throughout his eyes. She smirked at him.

"That was not a smart move. Potter and Weasley aren't here to save you Granger." He snarled.

"I don't need them to save me." Hermione scoffed. "I can help myself." She raised one eyebrow and studied him, her heart pounding in her ears. She could feel his heart beat through her wand and decided to jab him harder, he winced and backed off.

"Stupefy!" Malfoy suddenly shouted, his wand moving like a cobra striking.

Hermione was ready, she blocked it just in time. He stared mouth open at her. "Shit, she is scary. And better at spells" he thought, panic running through him.

"Now Malfoy..." she spat his name like it was poison in her mouth. "Remember what I did to you in third year for being a foul loathsome evil little cockroach? Or do I need to remind you?" She smiled sweetly at him, her wand still pointed at his chest.

A low growl was heard. The Slytherin looked around in fear. Yelps of pain were heard too.

"ARHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGGHGHHHSHSHSH" The Slytherins shrieked, fleeing the scene.

"IT'S GOING TO EAT MEEE!!" Draco screamed like a little girl, pushing the others out the way and scrambling desperately up the steps.

Hermione threw off the cloak, revealing Harry and Ron, covered in scratches and the tiny dragon puffed up and had its back risen.

"That thing was going to kill Malfoy!" Ron beamed, healing the scratches with a basic healing spell.

"I didn't know he had talons THAT BIG!" Harry blurted flabbergasted. "I only thought they were tiny! They just came out! Ron and I both had to lay on him!" Harry gawped at the innocent looking creature.

The bell rang in the distance. The greenhouses were on the other side of the school. Hermione pulled out a sausage from a bag in her robes and lured Tumble into her bag once more.

"Where did those come from?" Ron exclaimed staring at the bag of sausages.

"Breakfast. I took some." Hermione replied simply.

As the trio made their way across the school they relived Tumble's rage.

"Who would want to eat that little demon!" Ron gasped.

"More importantly how." Harry corrected. "I suppose they eat him whole..." He pondered on this idea for a while until they were at the greenhouse door.

"How are you still alive?" Draco exclaimed pointing at Hermione.

Hermione knew she could humiliate the whole Slytherin house now everyone was staring at her.

"Well Malfoy, as I'm not a Slytherin coward and didn't run off when we heard growling, I stayed put as I have some dignity and us Gryffindors don't go running to our mummy's when we hear as scary noise, unlike you Slytherins." Hermione criticised. All the slytherins stood with their mouth agape.

The other houses started to leer and laugh. "COWARDS!" They chanted.

"You can't talk you stupid Hufflepuffs!" Theodore yelled loking desperately at his fellow slytherins who were all shouting and protesting.

Draco gave Hermione a dirty look, but instead of getting angry she smiled sweetly at him.

He growled in frustration. "SLYTHERINS ARE COWARDS! SLYTHERINS ARE LOSERS! WHAT YOU GOING TO DO? CRY OFF TO YOUR MUMMIES?" Some of the other houses chanted.

Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna were the only students aside from the Slytherin's who weren't chanting.

"They took it took far." Hermione shouted over the noise to Luna

"I AGREEE!" Luna replied in her normal voice, Hermione had to strain the ears to here.

"IM SORRY MALFOY, PANSY AND THEODORE! I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO GO THIS FAR!" Hermione shouted at the unbearably load chanting. The houses were screaming it over and over at the tops of their lungs. Professor Sprout still hadn't shown up but she had left a note on the door saying to wait quietly until she came out of a meeting with Professor McGonagall.

Pansy, Draco and Theodore stared at Hermione in amazement. The Slytherin's had done much worse to them but she was apologising?

"DON'T EVEN TALK TO US YOU FILTHY LITTLE MUDBOOD!" Pansy shrieked in anger.

Luna stared at her in shock and horror. She slowly walked over to Pansy, it was quite threatening coming from Luna.

"That was a very nasty thing to say Pansy." Luna said bravely. Hermione, Neville and Ginny were unaware of what she was saying but Pansy heard over the noise.

"Looney, go away." Pansy warned. Luna seemed unfazed by Pansy and the Slytherins drawing their wands.

"I think you should go and apologise to Hermione." Luna encouraged.

Just as the Slytherins pointed their wands at Luna, Ginny growled. The firey red head drew her own wand, "(the incantation for the bad bogey hex is unknown so just imagine she says the spell.)" Suddenly, all the slytherins start jumping around, big black bats came soaring out of their noses, flapping around in their faces; dripping with snot.

The other houses fell quiet and watched the show. Malfoy screaming on the floor, covered in bats. Soon you couldn't see the children anymore, only a thick swarm of bats.

"Sprouts coming!" Cho Chang warned. Ginny removed the spell.

The professor was stunned by what was happening. The Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Gryffindors stood facing Slytherins who were thrashing around on the floor screaming and blubbering.

"Get up this instant! We have already missed fifteen minutes of the lesson and I don't want to miss anymore of it!" Professor Sprout demanded.

The group of them stood up and brushed themselves off.

No work was done during herbology, only by Neville, who loved the subject. Hermione, Ginny and Luna tried to concentrate but the noise and the Slytherins teasing and insults distracted them too much.

Hermione rushed to potions. She didn't even wait for Harry and Ron.

Luna however, followed her and caught up with her as she was hurrying down to potions.

"There are Nargles in your bag!" Luna called. Hermione froze. The word bag echoed in the deserted corridor.

Luna rushed towards her. Hermione took a step back. "Let me get them out for you! I can't wait to find out what they look like!" Luna offered and reached out for Hermione's bag. Hermione closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Tumble was in the invisibility cloak, no one can see him. Hermione told herself again and again.

"There in only books and a baby dragon in there. No nargles" Luna said disappointedly. "What's he called? I think he may be a rare blue horned dragon as he hasn't set fire to your bag and is standing on his head, which is very uncomfortable to fire breathers." Luan notified.

"His name is Tumble..." Hermione croaked zipping her bag up slowly, leaving a gap for him to breath. "Please don't tell anyone" hermoine pleaded. "How the heck does she know this?" The bushy haired girl thought as she watched the blonde smile.

"Oh I won't Daddy has one. Her name is Sapphire. They don't breed as they usually die as babies." She sang.

"How did you get one?" Hermione asked, there was another dragon like tumble still alive.

"After the war, as we were going home we passed the mother dragon in the forest. You can't apparate on our doorstep, only in the woods. As we passed her, we saw a glowing purple egg fall from her nest. My dad picked it up and took it home. How did you find tumble?" Luna chimed smiling happily at the memory.

"He was lying on my belly this morning." I croaked. Luna continued walking and I followed.

"That's unusual. Well we better not talk about this in front of these guys." Luna whispered skipping off to hug Ron.

Luna seems happier after the battle for some reason and is hugging everyone who looks sad in hope it will cheer them up. This was Ron's second hug today.

"Gedoff Loone-a" Ron grumbled, trying to push her off.

"You know the rules! Smileee!" she giggled clinging onto his waist. He laughed and she let go. Everyone felt happier around Luna, her personality glowed. Until she frowned. And that was what happened as Malfoy strutted over to them.

"Granger, take back your apology." He demanded, his stormy grey eyes staring into her soul.

"Excuse me?" she said confusedly. He pushed her against the wall and pinned her there by her shoulders.

"Take. It. Back" he growled. She glared at him. He glared at her, Neville stood there looking confused.

"Do you reckon they will kiss?" Ginny whispered to Harry.

"Ewww no." he remarked.

Draco pushed her further into the rock.

"I was trying to be nice. Get off of me." She snarled, her look she was giving him could kill.

"Not until you take back your apology." He hissed. Their noses were nearly touching, Harry looked away.

Hermione lifted her knee up with force onto his groin. Malfoy grunted and fell to the floor.

"HAHAHAHAHA! GO HERMIONE!" Ron shouted, drawing the attention of two hufflepuff girls who were standing nearby. Shockingly no one else in the class noticed, not even Pansy.

Harry looked back to see Draco whimpering on the floor. They all laughed until Slughorn came outside to see what all the fuss was about.

He heaved Malfoy up to his feet. "Everyone in?" he said, trying to make sense of what was happening.

Malfoy waddled into the classroom like a constipated penguin and sat down painfully on his stool.

"Hahahaha, serves you right." Hermione giggled sitting next to him.

"Unghhhthhhkd" Malfoy groaned.



"Today we will be making the basic Hair Raising potion." Slughorn informed, sitting down by Neville and helping him know what he had to do.

Hermione glanced at Malfoy who seemed to be slowly recovering. Her bag twitched violently and Malfoys eyes widened in shock, to cover it up she spilt the water in the cauldron all over him.

"AHHH! YOU STUPID DEMON MUDBLOOD!" Malfoy howled staring at his dripping shirt. Slughorn rushed over to see what the fuss was about. Hermione dropped the entire bag of sausages into her bag.

When she looked up Malfoy was rubbing his shirt with a dishtowel.

The water made his shirt clear and it was clinging to his abs.

"Stop drooling." He smirked. She gave him a dirty look, "I wasn't drooling! I was noticing that your tie is on backwards!" I protested he looked down at his tie, it was backwards; all of the stitching was visible. He took it off exposing his rock hard muscles even more.

Hermione took a sharp intake of breath and started to make the potion.

"It's Malfoy, the git, Malfoy, foul loathsome evil little cockroach." She reminded herself over and over again.

As soon as the final bell rang she poured the continents of the cauldron into the vials and rushed out of the door. She had two hours to clear her head until dinner.

To do this she marched down the frosty hill, and sat under the tree by the lake. Hermione unzipped her bag and let Tumble roll around at her feet. He seemed to like the water and splashed in the shallows. Hermione began worrying that a giant fish would eat him so she waded in and removed him from the cold water. For the two hours she had many thoughts but made one decision. She was going to join in with Harry and Ron's plots.

It was a horrible and cruel thing to do but it was her last year and Malfoy was getting meaner.
