ALL I EVER NEED | PANSY PARKINSON

CHAPTER 7 - THREAT

"That Professor Moody is so barbaric.” Ana exclaimed frustratingly. She’s been ranting about it for an hour now, saying Professor Moody wasn’t fit to be a Professor and should be in Azkaban for his insanity.

“I mean how can someone hire a teacher like that? Maybe because they're been through so much together back then that’s why Professor Dumbledore let him but still, he shouldn’t be doing things that will endanger and traumatized students!” she rambled once more as she picked on grasses, aggressively pulling it and throwing it in the air.

We somehow found ourselves near the black lake, relaxing a little bit after our classes together. Cedric laying down the grass while beaming up at her girlfriend, admiring her.

I can’t bring myself to say things that will embarrass him for being such a whipped ass and looking like he won a lottery just by looking at Ana because somehow I could relate to him. I look at Pansy the same way even when we didn’t have much interaction for this past few days because we’re in different year with different classes and different house so it was hard to have a time with her except in breakfast, lunch and dinner before curfew.

And sometimes it feels awkward to interact with her as I’m not really the talkative type, and I don’t smile a lot, making it hard to decipher what’s going inside my mind.

I flipped another page of the book that I’m holding to read another chapter, but someone snatched it from me making me stare blankly at them.

I don’t want to be interrupted when I’m reading.

“Are you listening to me?” Ana scowled at me.

“Of course she's not but I aaam.” Cedric replied to her, smitten.

Ana tried so hard not to smile before looking at him again. “Thank you, seems like you’re the only person who listens to me this days.” She said while rolling her eyes.

I just look at her apologetically to let her know I’m sorry but she brushed it off before saying, “Its fine.”

“Oh I just saw the Gryffindor's golden trio and Slytherins  going into that Professor Moody’s class. Isn’t his topic right now about unforgivable curses? Said he’ll tackle it to every class he’s handling.” Cedric said with wonder.

At the mention of Slytherin my mind went blank. I know that Pansy will be in that class because I always hear her ranting about being with the golden trio in Defense Against the dark arts and how frustrating it is when Hermione got answers before she does. He couldn’t possibly do Unforgivable curses with Pansy in the class.

I will murder him.

I will rip him to shred.

Feed him to the dragons.

I don’t care if he was an Auror, I will kill him with my bare hands if he do that with Pansy around.

I run as fast as I could, never minding my friends screaming at me to come back and asking where I was going.

I even almost run over Professor McGonagall but I didn’t stop running or apologize. My mind was occupied with worry over Pansy and fury over Moody.

“Five points from Ravenclaw! What do you think you’re doing Ms. Valerian?!” Professor McGonagall yelled.

I didn’t acknowledged her and continue racing down the corridor, I’m just glad that I hit off the gym 3 times a week while I was in the no maj world or muggles as they say.

I arrived at Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and barging in to the door with a kick making it cause a lot of unnecessary noises.

Moody was about perform a spell on the spider when I disrespectfully interrupted him and barged in.

Raising my own wand I yelled, “Expelliarmus!” making his wand flow out of his hand and knocked him back on the ground.

Stunned by the interruption, he grunted while picking himself up and squinted his one eye at me while his another eye was rolling like crazy. He have this puzzled look on his face that looks like questioning what the hell am I doing but I didn’t care. All I care about is Pansy.

I didn’t bother acknowledging him again or even other students stunned with silence and gasps, I just searched where Pansy were and walk over to her hugging her tight.

“You’re okay. Thank fuck you’re okay princess.” I said sighing in relief kissing her temple over and over. Maybe I was being overprotective but by the way she had nightmares over the same thing over and over, I couldn't for the life of me, control my temper and just let things be. I will do what I can to protect her, I swear in my life.

For a moment she didn’t respond. I guess I just surprised her so much to the point that even a minute later she’s still in shock but then she hide her face on my neck and hug my body tightly.

The class was filled with murmurs and disbelief until Moody spoke what was in his mind, “Is there anything you would like to share to us Ms. Valerian? Barging in my classroom like that, I thought your parents raised you better.”

My left eyebrow twitch at the mention of my parents. I let go of the hug and take ahold of Pansy’s hand, hiding her behind me.

“I apologize for causing such nuisance in your class, Professor." I said, my voice lacking with emotions. "But I couldn't just stay still when I found out that you're going to perform unforgivable curses in front of the lower years who probably don't even know how to cast a disarming spell. Now tell me Professor, are you that incompetent to start with the unforgivables when your students don't even know the basics?” I countered back making the students gasp and others snort. I won’t let him walk all over me, no one will.

“But my parents did raised me well that even I know, that Unforgivable Curses can’t be taught. Why? Because they are unforgivable and you should be sent to Azkaban for even trying to use that on a spider.” I steadily said with my voice gone cold “Perhaps, you don’t know that Professor? Do I still need to educate you? Or should I owl my grandfather to give you one way ticket to Azkaban?”

There were gasp some more and even teachers and students outside of the class came to the front door to watch the scene unfold inside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Moody’s hard exterior falter at the mention of my grandfather. The Wizarding and muggle world didn’t know what was my relationship with him that much as my grandparents hate was kept a secret to the world because who would take their side if people discover that the Minister of Magic, Fudge, the father of my mom, hates his own granddaughter because she have a dick.

No one will take his side.

No one will listen to him as he was just blinded by hate and disgust.

It may even threatened his career.

So they just kept it low-key but the world didn’t need to know that.

“That’s not necessary Ms. Valerian.” Moody growled, not accepting his defeat but have to try.

I just look at him emotionlessly, “I don’t care what you are in this school Professor but you won’t be teaching Unforgivable curses on students or even try to use that to them. I will do my very best to ruin your life and you won't even have the chance to go back to being an Auror again if you attempted in doing so and that’s a threat.” I hissed back, my hands balling in fist.

Giving him one last glare, I hastily took a hold Pansy’s things on my left hand and her right hand on the other one and lead her out of the class with me, stepping out of it and finding Professor McGonagall outside the door with stern look on her face.

“Ten points to Ravenclaw.” She whispered, trying not to smile. “But detention for running down the corridor.”

Nice.
