Green for Envy | Draco Malfoy x y/n

§-3-§

Dumbledore makes his way up to the stand and I go back to the Slytherin table as Harry makes his way back to the Griffendors.

"We have a new professor in the position of defence against the dark arts, please give a warm welcome to Professor Lupin." I notice Harry and two other of his friends, I knew the brunnette girl Hermione but I hadn't seen the redhead before, we're clapping the loudest out of the crowd. Hermione whispers something to both of them and a wave of recognition fills their faces.

"Now, our professor Grubbly Plank has decided to take a break, celebrating with the limbs she has left. And for now, filling in the position of the care for magical creatures professor, we have our very own... Rubeus Hagrid!" I clap extra hard along with the Griffendors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, although the rest of my Slytherin table doesn't seem as excited as I am about the new professor. I could practically hear Draco saying in his head my father will hear about this.

"Finally, on more of a surprising note. On request of the ministry, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban. Until such a time as Sirius Black is captured. The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now, whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities... A word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures, they will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore I must warn each and every one of you to give them no 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... if one only remembers to turn on the light."

In those last few sentences, I notice Dumbledore directing his gaze towards my lightning scarred bestfriend, but then as soon as it had happened it was over, I followed the rest of the Slytherins down to our house and we continued and say our password without a hitch.

A few minutes later, I was walking with Draco, pretending to be couply, we noticed three figures walking down the grass stairs.

We followed close behind as Harry, Hermione and that redhead as they were walking towards Hagrid's hut to congratulate him, and an interesting conversation had sparked.

"You don't think that grim thing has got to do anything with Sirius Black, do you?"

"Wait, what's the grim?" I whisper to Draco.

"Oh honestly Ron, if you ask me, Divination's a very wooly discipline. Now, Ancient Runes, that's a fascinating subject."

So that's what his name is, Ron. I think to myself, making a personal reminder.

"Seems like it's something we will learn in divination?" He asks, a smirk appearing on his face.

"I noticed that idiot!" I whisper harshly, barely holding back the urge to slap that smirk right off his face.

"Ancient Runes? Exactly how many classes are you taking this term?" The Redhead asked

"A fair few"

"Hang on, that's not possible. Ancient runes is in the same time as divination. You have to be in two classes at once!" Ron says

"Don't be silly Ronald, how can someone be in two classes at once?"

Ronald leans over and whispers to Harry "I bet that disgusting Slytherin friend of yours could do it" The way he said Slytherin sent shivers down my spine.

"Ron, you never were the brightest, nor the greatest whisperer," I say to him, he turned around startled, apparently he hadn't noticed we were there.

"Disgusting Slytherin." Ron whispered under his breath although Hermione and Harry didn't seem to hear it. But Draco and I did.

Malfoy and I exchanged a glance, so that's how it's going to be huh?

Disgusting Griffendor
