Hagrid was back in his hut, I could see smoke coming from his chimney.
I was interested in his reason for being gone, but it seemed Harry was more so. Even though it was his free period he wanted to see if he could talk to Hagrid
"Harry I am actually being taught in this lesson so find another time to talk to him""Oh yeah? What's the curriculum??"
"Whatever I chose to talk about, right now it's dragons"
"I thought it was dragons in the beginning of the year?"
"It's always dragons, I want to be a dragon tamer remember??"
"You have the grades to do anything, you should try to be an auror like Ron and I"
I waved him off, slightly slipping in the snow that wasn't beat down his path yet
Harry caught my arm before I tumbled
"You know being an auror is just a glorified ministry job right? Like you're not always out there catching villains. It's a lot of paperwork""Well in these times it's a lot of searching for death eaters" he said looking at me with a knowing glance
I ignored him like I chose to do anytime he tried steering the conversation to DracoI knocked lightly on Hagrid's door, he didn't hesitate to open it
The warmth of his home washed over me, immediately sending shivers down my spine
"Come in quick" he said pulling the two of us in
"Wasn't expecting you Harry""I wanted to see how you were" he said going to sit down at his table
The table was set for two, but i conjured another set of tea for myself
I let Harry have the setup that was already available"Ah well Cora and I have class right now" he said
I raised my eyebrows at Harry
"but" my face flattened "I'm sure she won't mind chatting this hour"I slouched down into my chair
"Hagrid you're supposed to be teaching me""So you want to know where I've been I assume Harry"
Hagrid totally ignored my complaint
I grabbed a thick blanket I had been known to use here and opened my bag
Fang walked over to me laid by my side
If I'm not going to learn anything I might as well do homework"Yeah all ok?" Harry said
I opened my defense notes and started studying what Hermione wrote down for me yesterday
Her notes are immaculate
She highlighted all the things she thought I would need the most help on and even took notes under her notes about what her own theories are"You've been doing things for Dumbledore?" Hagrid asked
Harry had already explained what he was doing so I felt no need to be a part of this conversation
Hermione has written down Full Body Bind curse for today's lesson
The curse is to be used as a nonverbal like the rest of the class has been able
I see written at the top of the page talk about dogwood wands
Apparently Snape says those won't work with nonverbal, I feel for anyone who is suffering with one of those wands in his class"He sent me to recruit more followers of you know who and explain to them the benefit of being on our side. I was deep in the forest of Romania looking for more giants with—"
"Romania??" I closed my notes "with who?"
"Madame Maxime, she's been working hard on the cause with Dumbledore"
"Did you see Charlie while you were there?"
"I didn't, I wanted to but it wasn't a pleasurable journey"
I nodded my head and went back to my notesMy next class was divination, I shared this with Harry and Ron
Hermione hasn't gotten passed her failure to see what doesn't have a physical form, so she takes arithmancy during this class
Harry and I walked back towards the castle, my nose bright red from the cold wind coming off the lake"Harry next time do me a favor and let me go to class to take class? Hangout if you must but I learned nothing today"
"Well I learned that Hagrid's been on missions again, sorry if you didn't learn about dragons and spiders" he smirked at me
I pushed Harry into a snow pile and continued on my way inside until he ran up behind me and threw me into a deeper one
We stayed for a few minutes having a normal moment between us
One that wasn't filled with death eaters and Voldemort but with snow and laughterI was frozen to my bones by the time I finally made it inside
Harry pulled me into his side to try to keep me warm but that did no good. We were both soaked
"H-H-H" i shivered "Harry th-that was f-fun"He took his scarf out of his bag and wrapped it around my face, then brought my hands up to his face to blow hot air onto them
"C-can we s-stop at the c-c-c"
"Common room? Yes let's get you those enchanted pieces Mrs.Weasley made for you" Harry said smiling towards me
His smile didn't last, I looked at the direction of where his eyes were looking and saw Draco leaning against the wall
Crabbe and Goyle were next to him, they nodded their heads towards me
I don't think Harry noticed, all he saw was Draco glaring back at himI walked around Harry and shoved him forward
"No more fighting" I said softly "please"Harry scoffed but let me move him back to walking
Draco continued his stare down at Harry, I was expecting him to say something—
"Potter" he snapped outI turned to look at Draco, my eyes begging him to not cause a scene
"Malfoy" he said back
Neither of them continued
I knew the only reason both of them ceased fire was because I was near, being thankful of both keeping their face i proceeded to walk with Harry to our common room
I knew Draco was watching me walk away, so I made sure to move a little more sultry for him
We were taking the stairs, I moved softly and slowly. It almost felt like a dance between us, one he was forced to watch and not participate in. I bounced my hair around gently to show off a little, my hair was something he loved dearly
I looked back at Draco before he was out of sight, it seemed to work
His eyes were filled with pure desire
