Royalty at Hogwarts- Draco Malfoy

Chapter 32

"You ready?" Draco asked Madeline at the Slytherin table, she nodded putting down her muffin. They both stood up, making their friends look at them confuse.

"Where are you two going?" Daphne asked, not even trying to hide the surprise in her voice.

"We're going to watch Buckbeak's execution. Didn't he tell you guys?" Madeline asked, Draco pursed his lips looking at the ground.

"No," Blaise said,

"Well, I knew you three wouldn't want to come." Draco said,

"I'm just hurt I wasn't even asked," Theo muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. Draco rolled his eyes, nodding towards the exit.

"Let's go, Madeline." He said, they waved goodbye to his friends, and walked out the great hall, and down to the courtyard.

"Are we going to Hagrid's hut?" Madeline asked, pointing to the hut in the distance. Malfoy shook his head.

"No. There's a little cliff that-"

"Madeline!" Someone shouted, the two turned around, seeing Madeline's father, strolling with the Minister of Magic, and Michael, and the executioner. Michael grinned at Draco, who smiled back.

"Dad!" Madeline said, surprised as she hugged him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked her father, as his eyes travelled towards Malfoy, forcing a smile.

"I came to see this...what is it a big bird?" He asked the minister, Madeline pursed her lips, as she saw Malfoy trying not to laugh.

"It's a hippogriff." The minister answered, 

"Yeah, whatever that is. And what are you and Mr. Malfoy doing?" He asked, extending his hand out to Draco. 

"We were just taking a walk," Draco said, before Madeline could answer. William nodded, looking over at Hagrid's hut.

"Well, we better get going, don't stay out too long." William said, they nodded.

"Okay, I'll see you in a couple days dad." William nodded, waving goodbye to her before they walked to Hagrid's hut.

"There's a spot over here that we can go watch the execution." Draco said, pointing to a little cliff that had three large boulders that would cover them from view. They walked up to the cliff; Madeline could see her father and Michael from up here.

"Look, there taking it out right now." Draco said, as Hagrid brought out Buckbeak.

"Oh, this is going to be rich. Did I tell you, Father said I can keep the head-" Draco said, before he looked up and spotted Potter, Granger, and Weasley.

"Ah. Come to see the show?" He asked them, just as Granger took out her wand, and pointed it at Malfoy's throat. 

"You... foul... loathsome...evil... little cockroach..." She shouted, Malfoy stumbled back, his back slamming against the rock, she pressed her wand into his neck.

"Hey! Stop that!" Madeline shouted, looking between them. Harry shot her a strange look.

"Hermione! No! He's not worth it!" Granger dropped her arm to her side, Draco stood up straight rolling her eyes.

"Stupid-" Granger swung her arm back, and punched Draco right on the nose. Pain shot through Draco's entire face, his eyes welled up, he felt blood starting to drip down from his nostrils.

"Malfoy!" Madeline gasped, as he put a hand over his nose, and started running to the castle.

"Madeline wait-" Harry shouted, as he grabbed her arm. She shook him off, glaring daggers at him.
