The next morning, I was walking with Ruby to our first class of the day, which was DADA with our new teacher Lockhart. According to my father, this man was a fraud, and he shouldn't be teaching at a school like Hogwarts. I have read his books, and they are a little too extreme, but you never know what to expect anyway. Ruby, like every other girl in this school, had a crush on him. He was handsome, but clearly not my type. I sat next to Ruby at the first desk and waited for the professor to come, and when he did, he had a bunch of papers in his hands and a huge smirk on his face.
Lockhart: Hello students! There is no need to introduce myself because there is no way none of you haven't heard my name even once in your life
He said with a playful smirk on his face, and I could hear some girls in the class giggling
Lockhart: For our first lesson, I want you to take a small test to see who knows me the best from all of you!
He said and started handing a paper to the students. When I took it in my hands and read the questions, I really tried not to laugh! Because they were literally stupid. I mean, why do we care to know what his favorite color was anyway? I heard Weasley who was sitting at the desk behind me next to Oliver Wood complaining about how ridiculous this test was. And for the first time in these six years, I agreed with him. But I will never say it out loud.
After we finished the tests, Lockhart took them and looked at them with a disappointed look on his face
Lockhart: How can you guys not know that my favorite color is lila!
He said and then smiled when he saw the last one which was Ruby's. I could recognize her handwriting from miles away
Lockhart: It seems like Miss Ruby Baker knows it! She also knows what my greatest ambition is. Ten points to Slytherin, and I give this test an A+
He said with a smile, and Ruby couldn't stop giggling with excitement. He gave her the test and she immediately hugged it
Ruby: He signed my test
She said, whispering in excitement, and I just laughed at her childish behavior. The other girls in the class started giving her weird looks, but Ruby was so happy that she didn't even notice them. Lockhart then sat on his chair and put the playful smirk back on his face
Lockhart: For next week I want you all to write an essay about my biography and I would like for you to do it in pairs
He said, and I immediately turned to Ruby, who was already looking at me. We were always partners in every project since the first year, and we always had the best grade together.
Lockhart: But I would choose them
He said, taking out a piece of paper with all the names of the students on it, and my smile immediately fainted. There is no way! Ruby raised her hand to say for me and her to be on the same team until she heard who her partner was
Lockhart: Ruby Baker and Oliver Wood
He said, and her hand fell on the desk in a matter of seconds and a smile appear on her face. I was happy for her that she finally had a chance to even talk to him. Because for years she tried to even wave at him, but she always failed, of how anxious she got. But the smile on my face didn't stay for long until I heard Lockhart's next words
Lockhart: Y/n Malfoy and Percy Weasley
He said, and my eyes widened in horror. There is no fucking way. Does he want us to kill each other?
Y/n&Percy: Hell no
We both said at the same time, and we looked at each other with a disgusted look. The bell rang and everyone left the classroom with happy smiles on their faces because they got the partner that they wanted. But I wasn't happy! Not at all! I went to the professor and Weasley must be thinking the same thing because he came right behind me
Y/n: Professor I beg you, please change my partner
I asked as nicely as I could because at that moment I was fuming with anger
Percy: Yeah, I am not working with her
He said, and Lockhart turned to us with a smile
Lockhart: Children, you have to learn that the key to succeed is to learn how to cooperate even if they are your enemy. Remember my adventure in Egypt! I had to work with my worst enemy to fight the deathly vampire!
Was he serious right now? Why do we care how he won the vampire?
Lockhart: Every professor at this school is talking about your skills! Some of them even have bets!
He said with a laugh and I looked at him confused
Y/n: Wait, what bets?
I asked and he nodded negatively with a smile
Lockhart: Doesn't matter! Because together your skills will become even better. Look at me! My skills and cleverness lead me to be one of the best wizards in history
He said and I rolled my eyes in annoyance
Y/n: In simple words, I would rather die than work with him
I said, and Weasley agreed with me
Lockhart: Sorry, kiddos, but you will have to figure it out on your own. Like I did on my adventures
He said, and I scoffed, living the classroom annoyed. When I exited the classroom, that is when a perfect idea came straight into my mind. I saw Weasley coming right behind me and I stopped him
Y/n: Alright, ginger, I have a plan. I would start the essay, and then I would give it to you to continue it. Problem solved! Then we won't have to work together and we won't kill each other
I said with a proud smile on my face. I am a freaking genius. In that way, neither of us will end up in the hospital wing
Percy: Why don't I get to start it?
Y/n: Because I am a girl and girls are always first
I said and he rolled his eyes
Percy: Fine
He said, and that's when a little girl with curly, messy hair came my way. I smiled when I realized that it was Hermione Granger. Hermione was the only Gryffindor that talked to me and considered me a friend. Last year, I was the one who comfort her when she was crying in the girl's bathroom because some boys made fun of her. I was also the person who stopped the troll when Harry Potter and Ron Weasley made a mess. Since that day, she considered me as her big sister and always came to me when she felt alone or had a problem she needed to discuss.
Hermione: Hi Y/n! I read all the books you sent me in the summer
She said, taking my hand and pulling me away from the ginger boy, I smiled before I followed her. We went and sat under a tree in the yard, which was busy with students running to get to their classes
Y/n: Really? All four of them?
I asked confused and she nodded with a smile
Hermione: Yeah, and you were right! Classic literature is really beautiful
She said and I smiled looking proudly at her
Y/n: I am glad you liked it
I said, and we sat down chatting for the next twenty minutes of our break. I know that you all have been wondering why I am hanging around with her when my family hates everyone else that is not pureblood. Well, I have a simple answer! I don't believe in the same prejudice as my parents. I believe that all wizards are the same, no matter what their blood is.
I looked around, admiring the leaves falling from the trees when they got their brown color. It was really beautiful and calming. Autumn was almost here and that was rather exciting! I looked at my clock to realize that my next class was starting in five minutes, so I stood up and started walking with Hermione by my side
Y/n: Sorry Mione, but I have to go. I have practice later, so you can come to the field if you want and watch us
I said and she nodded, accepting my invitation
Hermione: Yeah, Harry also has quidditch practice, so I am free after he finishes
She said with a smile before she entered her class and I headed toward mine
