I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder. I groan and push my head further into the shoulder. Wait, shoulder??? I quickly shoot up and face who is shaking me, the suspect is... Ray.

     "Piss off Ray." I grumble while lying into the couch.

     "I hate to interrupt your beauty sleep, God knows you need it, but it's time to wake up. Otherwise others are going to wonder why you're in your pajamas. Also, we have classes today, and then after classes they're choosing the people to compete in the tournament." This caught my attention, I rushed to get ready, faintly hearing Ray laugh in the background. I sneak into the dorms and change. When I finish getting ready, Pansy starts to wake up. She notices that I'm already fully changed and she panics and starts changing. I head downstairs to the common room where Draco and Ray are waiting for us. Pansy rushes down behind me and starts walking to the Great Hall with him while I walk with Ray.

     While we're walking to the Great Hall, Leo sees us and heads towards us.

     "Good day r/n/n!" (random nickname). I giggle and face him.

     "Good day to you too Leo!"

     "How are you this fine morning? Did you rest well?" I smile at him.

     "I slept well, thank you. How about you?"

     "I rested just fine, thank you. I can't wait to get down to the hall to eat."

     "Same." I smile and he chuckles. Leo turns to Ray.

     "Hello! I don't think we have had the pleasure to officially meet. I'm Leo Sidorov, and you are?" He asks, extending his hand for him to shake.

     "I'm Ray." He answers by shaking his hand.

     "Nice to meet you Ray." Ray nods his head.

     "And you." He smiles bitterly at him before turning away. Leo smiles at me and I smile back.

     "How about we speed up the pace? I am starving!" He exclaims while pushing me towards the Hall.

     "H-hey, slow down! I'm coming, I'm coming!" I laugh, trying to regain balance of my feet. Ray places his hand on the nook of my back to steady me. His hand is warm...

     "Careful Y/n, don't hurt yourself, moron." Ray warns in a monotone voice while helping me not fall.

     "Thank you, Ray." He nods and turns away while removing his hand from my back. Leo turns back to make sure that I'm following him and I nod and follow him.

Time skip

     "Alastor Moody." Our new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher writes his name on the board. Draco turns to me with a confused look on his face and I just shrug,

     "Ministry malcontent. And your new defense against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me, end of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions?" Everyone shakes their head and he goes back to talking. "When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"

     "Three sir." Granger answers. Draco rolls his eyes and mimics what she did.

     "And why are they named so?" Moody asks.

     "Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will..." Granger trails off.

     "Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban. Correct. Now the ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different! You need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared, you need to find somewhere else to put your chewing gum other than the underside of your desk Mr Finnigan!" He yells and everyone flinches.
