Torchwick or Grindelwald

Side Chapter 1: Puffskeins

(A/N): this is not a continuation of the last chapter, this is just a fun chapter.

Hogwarts No POV

After the whole hippogriff incident where Wade almost lost an eye, Hagrid decided to go for a more smaller creature that was kid friendly. So he choose to get puffskeins. Draco and his cronies decided to just skip the class and no one objected since after what he caused, nobody really want to deal with his BS again.

Wade sat on the ground with his back against a rock as there was puffskeins over his legs and he didn't really mind. In all honesty, he could fall asleep right there and then and hopefully no one bothers him but as he looked around, it seems no one is really bothering anyone.

Barnaby was holding like a dozen puffskeins on his arms, Tonks and Penny were tossing one as the creature didn't mind being tossed, Chiara was petting one and Merula was just holding one. Chiara joined the class after the incident as she got curious of the creatures and she dropped Muggle Studies.

Ron: I've always seen these at the pet store at Diagon Alley but never interacted with them.

Hagrid: great pets, they are, great pets. They don't mind being cuddled or thrown around.

Hermione: I've read about them but didn't really believe something like this existed.

Hagrid: well, now you do.

Tonks: I don't mind having one home, I think my mom also wants one but pink.

Penny: maybe so it can remind her of you when you aren't home.

Tonks: aw, that's sweet of her.

Merula:<looks at Wade> seems someone decided to take this chance for a nap.

They looked over to see Wade sound asleep with a lot of puffskeins in his lap some even managed to get into his shoulders as one acted like a pillow.

Tonks: aww, that's so adorable.

Hagrid; I still feel bad about what happened to him.

Harry: Hagrid, it wasn't your fault. It's Malfoy's fault for not listening to you.

Hermione: he's right. You taught us what not to do first and he didn't listen.

Hagrid: still...

Penny: don't sweat it, Hagrid, Wade doesn't blame you. It was a great first lesson.

Barnaby: it was. Can we take one of these with us?

Hagrid: I don't think Professor Dumbledore will let me. Besides, if I let you all take one then I'm not gonna have enough for the other classes.

Barnaby; aw, man.

Hagrid: but you could come back sometime to help me here. Think of it as extra lessons.

Barnaby: yes!

Merula: why is this one just staring at me?

Tonks: maybe because you're holding it and having a staring contest with it?

Merula: I am not!

The puffskein just climbed to Merula's head and stayed there.

Merula: hey!

Penny, Tonks and Chiara laughed as Hagrid could hear the bell.

Hagrid: alright, class dismissed. Someone please wake up Wade.

Merula: fine. <grabs his shoulder and shakes him>

Wade:<wakes up> what?

Merula: come on, it's time for class.

Wade: fine. <pushes the puffskiens off him carefully and stands up>

Merula: come on.

The students left the place as Hagrid chuckled seeing one puffskien being a stowaway in Wade's hoodie.

Wade just went by his day not really understand why some people were looking at him or why some girls called him cute. It wasn't until he returned to the common room to see Merula and her group when he got his answer.

Wade: I'm tired.

Merula: aren't you always tired?

Wade: this time it's different, a lot of people looked at me and girls called me cute all day.

Merula: what?

Ismelda:<whispers to Barnaby> someone's about to be jealous.

Merula: who were they?

Wade: I don't know, I don't care about the majority of people in this place.

Barnaby:<sees the puffskien in his hood> I think I know why.

Wade: really?

Barnaby:<grabs the puffskien and holds it out> it seems this little guy was being a stowaway in your hood since Magical Creatures Class.

Wade: you have got to be kidding me.

Ismelda: what is that?

Merula; you've never been to a pet store or something? That's a puffskien.

Ismelda: I only went to get a cat, I didn't want to browse.

Wade: in any case, this guy needs to get back to Hagrid.

Barnaby: I'll take him.<leaves>

Merula: mystery solved.

Wade: I'm going to bed.<goes to the dormitory>

Ismelda:<looking at Merula with a smirk>

Merula: what?

Ismelda: you like him~

Merula: I don't like Wade.

Ismelda: I never said who.

Merula:<blushes> shut it!

Ismelda: look, you can stop denying it. It's pretty obvious to everyone that you have a crush on Torchwick. But I am going to say this, you have competition and if you're too late then he will slip through your fingers.

Merula: who?

Ismelda: I ain't gonna tell you, you have to figure out by yourself. <smirks walking away>

Merula: Murk! Damn it.

Merula sat back on the couches as Wade came down again.

Merula: I thought you were gonna go to bed?

Wade: couldn't sleep. I hate the days I can't sleep because my whole sleeping schedule gets thrown off. I have that problem ever since I started Hogwarts.

Merula: I guess.

Wade: what you thinking about?

Merula: puffskiens.

Wade: you like them don't you?

Merula: are you-

Wade: I'm not judging. That small nap was the best I had in a while. <sigh> to be honest, I have some small nightmares from last year.

Merula: oh... so that's why you can't sleep.

Wade: yes. I've tried to deal with it at the beginning of summer but... they won't go away.

Merula: I see.

Wade: you better get some sleep, who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Merula: fine. Goodnight.

Wade: night.

Merula went to her dormitory as Barnaby returned and just went to bed as Ismelda was already in the dormitory asleep.

Wade stayed up in his pjs until he could no longer keep his eyes open and fell asleep on the couches. Nobody bothered him the next morning but some of them noticed the bags under his uncovered eye.

Nobody questioned him as Malfoy did and was met with a black eye.
