Snape: Your Patronus looks weaker
Tonks: You don't say?
Snape allows me and Harry to go through before shutting the gates in her face, I knew it was a bit rude but I didn't want to say anything. If I did then I guarantee he would kick me through the gates and make sure I don't get into Hogwarts.
Snape then proceeds to needle Harry on our walk up to the castle, deducting a load of house points and claiming that this is all a stunt Harry is pulling for attention.
Harry wisely says nothing in reply but I always had my brother's back as I whisper into Snape's ear and told him what really happened and how it was Draco that caused his lateness, Snape was quiet as he knew I was a reliable source.
Snape: But since you were with Professor Light, I will look over it just this once. However I better not catch you being late to anything else in my eyes
Harry: Yes sir
We get to the Great Hall and sit beside Ron, Ginny and Hermione as they ask what happened. Harry explains what happened and narrowly misses dinner.
Hermione: What did Professor Slughorn want with you?
Blue:.....Nothing
Harry: He asked me about what happened in the ministry. And it isn't just him
Ron: Yeah they've been asking us as well, they didn't even ask how were our holidays!
Blue: That can happen, they just want to know what happened that night and I can't blame them. Death Eaters, Tommy Boy, Dumbledore, myself and Harry in one area, it's just flooding with details and moments.
Nearly Headless Nick: The other ghosts have been asking me about it but I won't betray your trust Blue, you too Harry.
Blue: Thanks Nick
Dumbledore begins his speech, and the whole school sees his hand, prompting whispers, Hermione suspects it’s an injury that he can’t cure. Then Dumbledore introduces Slughorn to the school and informs them that he will be teaching Potions, to the shock of the students.
Blue: Wait what?
Dumbledore: That means Professor Snape will assume the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher
Harry: W-What?! Dammit! I thought I would be able to avoid Snape! But he will never leave me and he will annoy the hell out of me!
Blue: Huh, Dumbledore never told us what Slughorn would be teaching, I am glad that Snape got the job he wanted, he has been waiting a long time. Then again....he is only going to have the job a year because it is cursed.
The headmaster asks the whole school to be cautious this year due to the danger of Voldemort and his followers, then dismisses them all to bed. Before we could leave, Hagrid comes toward us.
Hagrid: Harry, you were late, what happened?
Harry: Something, I can say the same about you
Hagrid: Oh me? I was just hanging out with my brother Gwarp, he has a new cave in the mountains
Blue: Oh that's nice
Hermione: I hope he is doing well
Hagrid: Oh he loves it, he has never been this happy before. Anyways, come to your post-lunch Care of Magical Creatures lesson early tomorrow, so you can say hi to Buckbeak and Sirius.
Harry: Sirius will be there? Okay, I'll come
After he’s gone, Ron and Harry both admit that they’re not continuing Hagrid’s class and realise Hermione isn’t either, I shook my head in disappointed but it is their choice, even if it is a bad one.
