Another Potter ( x Draco Malfoy probably)

New school year

This one will be shorter, I think.
Enjoy and comment.

Nat POV.

I slowly open my eyes. It takes a while until I recognize where I am. In the train. I slowly turn my head to see Harry laying beside me. I sit up. Hermione seems to be talking to me but I can't hear her. I put my finger on my ear and signal her that i can't hear her. She turns at the man beside her and tells him something. He takes out his wand and I take out mine. I put my hand over Harry protective. He smiles, puts his wand away and signs me that he surrenders. I put my wand beside me and slowly shake Harry. He blinks a few times then looks at me. He says something but instead of hearing what he says, I hear a female scream. I wince and put my hands on my ears.

"Nat? Can you hear me now?" Harry's voice asks in parcel tongue. I nod. He keeps talking to me until, slowly, all sounds come back.

"Thank you." I put my head on his shoulder. He puts his arm around me.

"Here, eat this. You'll feel better. It's chocolate. It will help." The man hands us chocolate.

"What happened?"

"We fainted, me because I came to see why the train stopped and what you had to do with it, to see a black phantom." I point out.

"That was a dementor. They are on the look out for Sirius Black and taught he was here. I need to have a word with the driver, eat." He smiles at us.

"How are you 2?" I wave reassuringly at Hermione.

"Did you guys faint?"

"No, but I did feel weird. Like I was never going to feel happiness again."

"And it was freezing." Hermione adds to Ron's explanation.

"Did you hear a woman scream?"

"Nobody was screaming, Harry."

"I heard it too, so someone screamed." I take Harry's hand.

"What drink is that? Vodka? I could use a shot." I grab the bottle and read the name. Wolfsbane? Is that a drink or a potion? I take a photo of it.

"What is it?"

"Water, for Salazar's sake." I mutter. Which makes the 3 laugh.

"Listen, I gotta go back to my stuff, see you at home." I hug Hermione and Harry, then leave them. I find my compartment and open it to see 3 wands pointed at me.

"Sweet." I roll my eyes and sit back down.

At Hogwarts

We are all sitting, listening to the choir and their big frogs singing. Once they finished we clap. Well, only a few Slytherins, the others scowl. Then Albus steps up on the podium and gives us a speech.

"Welcome, welcome at another year at Hogwarts. Now I'd like to say a few words before we become befuddled by our excellent feast. First, I'm pleased to welcome RJ Lupin who's kindly consented to fill the post of Professor of Defences against the Dark Arts."

"Who also happens to have hit me with a spell on the train, knocked me out." I mutter. A few older Slytherins chuckle. Blaise and Theo put a hand on my shoulder.

"Good luck Professor." We all clap for him, I do as enthusiastic as Dad.

"Pottah! Is it true that you fainted?" I turn around at Malfoy. The guy beside him fake faints.

"I mean you actually fainted?"

"Shove off, Malfoy." Ron turns Harry around.

"I'd like to see you react to a Dementor's kis,s Malfoy." I hiss at him and throw him my dinner knife between his fingers, on the table. He looks at me surprised and concerned.

I turn back to Albus who continues.

- to retire and take care of his limbs. Fortunately, I am happy to announce that his place will be take by our own Rubeus Hagrid." Hell yeah! I clap louder. My uncle is Headmaster of the school, my other uncle is a teacher and both my parents are teachers. This couln'd get any better. Mom elbows him to stand up so he does and makes all the glasses fall down from their table. Mom looks at him as if telling him to be more careful. I snicker at them.

"Finally on a more describing note on the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azkaban. Until the time Sirius Black is captured."

"For fuck's sake! Really? We have white ghosts who pop up and try to scare us already, we don't need those dangerous things flying around!" I put my hands in the air. Most Slytherins nod, the others whisper amongst each other that Sirius Black needs to be captured. I can hear all of it. Pearks of being a ex-spy and ex- child assassin. I can read their lips and espression and that says it all.

"Dementors will be station at every entrance to the ground. Now, whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day to day activities, a world of caution." He becomes very serious.

"Dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish the one they hunt and the one that gets in their way. Therefore I must warn each and every one of you, to not give them any reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a Dementor to be forgiving. But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times." He puts off a candle flame.

"If one only remembers to turn on the light." He lights it back with his hand. I smile at that phrase. He really loves riddles. Then the feast is given and we all dig in.
