Emerald - Draco Malfoy

32

As the months went on, Draco and I walked the halls and sat together more often.  

The whole school knew we were friends by now.  

The only people who had a problem with it were his friends, and mine.  

Hermione kept saying 'he's only doing it to gain information about our meetings.'

It couldn't be true, Draco never asked me about them.  

In the mix of everything, Draco and his friends were promoted to prefect's. 

They were taken under Umbridge's wings. 
They were allowed to walk the halls after hours, patrolling.  
They were allowed to take house points from students as well. 

Every day new rules went up on the walls. 

Umbridge was taking over. 

...

"Now think of something happy.  The happiest you've ever been.  Let it flow from you, and out your wand.   You've got this!" Harry said, as we all practiced in the room of requirement. 

The only thought that came to my mind, was Draco.

Imagines of us dancing at the Yule Ball, and rolling around in the snow, flashed before my eyes. 

"Expecto petronum." I casted. 

A bright light began glowing from the end of my wand.  

A white, glowing rabbit appeared. 

It hopped and danced throughout the air in the room, before disappearing moments later.  

"You did it!" Luna yelled. 

Everyone began cheering.  

I was the last one to get the petronus charm down, and I finally got it. 

The wall that we entered through, began cracking. 

With every thump from the other side of the wall, the cracks grew.  

We all stood there silently as a hole began to form.  

The hole grew, then the wall crumbled down.  

There stood Umbridge, Filtch, Draco and his friends.  

Draco, was holding Cho by her collar.
  
Draco was grinning ear to ear. 

Cho snitched.

I knew I didn't trust her for a reason.

Umbridge placed her wand into her pocket.   She smiled greatly, as she stepped forward over the rubble. 

Draco's grin quickly faded, as his eyes met mine.  

That little blonde weasel.

Umbridge put the rest of them in a room with Mr Filtch to watch. 

She, along with Draco and his friends, took Harry, Ron, Hermione and I to her office. 

Draco held Ron my his shirt, Crabbe held Hermione, and Goyle held me. 

Harry sat in the chair before Umbridge. 

"You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you." Umbridge spoke to Harry, as she leaned over him. 

"No." Harry huffed as her. 

Umbridge quickly slapped Harry across the face. 

The crack of her hand smacking him across the face, echoed through her office.
