Desired Tension || Draco Malfoy x Reader

Chapter 11 - Quidditch and Quarrels

I heard the door swing open and be slammed shut aggressively from behind me causing everyone's heads to turn. Professor Snape swiftly paced his way through the desks closing the blinds with his wand as he passed each window. He reached the front of the classroom and spun around to face us. "turn to page 394".

Everyone did as we were told and began opening our books, no one daring to question why Snape was here and where Professor Lupin was. That was until my stupid brother decided to open his big mouth.

"Excuse me, sir, where is Professor Lupin". Harry asked leaning across the space on the desk next to him. There's a reason no one wants to sit with you, Harry.

"That's not really your concern, is it, Mr Potter? Suffice it to say your professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time." Snape said while walking to the back of the classroom where the projector was sat. "Turn to page 394" He repeated flicking his wand at Ron's book, opening it quickly to the correct page.

"werewolves" Ron questioned with furrowed brows once he decided he would actually read the book.

"But sir, we've just begun learning about red caps and hinkypunks, we're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks" Hermione called out. Ok, something was up because she was definitely not there before. This just gave me a new fun thing to try and figure out.

"Quiet" Professor Snape demanded in a low irritated tone.

"Now which one of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf?" snape asked the class in his usual monotone voice while he walked back up to the front of the room.

Hermione's hand shot straight up. She was smart and she wanted everyone to know, which honestly was fair enough.

"No one? How disappointing, Miss Potter, care to answer" he said slowly turning to me.

"My hand wasn't up, maybe you should ask Hermione she clearly wants to answer the question" I retorted annoyed he was picking on me for no reason, I knew the answer, but I couldn't be bothered answering.

"Do you not know the answer". He asked with the most unimpressed face imaginable.

"No, I do," I said purposely sounding oblivious to the situation and what I was doing.

"Then answer it" he ordered.

"Why"

"Because I said so, now answer the question, potter, or you can see me after class for detention," he seethed, I had gotten on his nerves and it was showing.

I sighed realising this was a fight I wasn't going to win "An Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice. With each full moon when he trance forms, he no longer remembers himself. Furthermore, the werewolf only responds to the call of its own kind." I answered in the most unimpressed tone of voice I could find while slouching back in my chair.

The end of my sentence caused Draco to howl and laugh with Crabbe which I could only roll my eyes at.

"Thank you, Mr Malfoy. As much as I loathe taking points from my own house 5 points from Slytherin for Miss Potters attitude" Snape said while walking up to my desk.

"You told me to answer the question, so I answered the question" I snapped back narrowing my eyes at him.

"Watch it Miss Potter" said his voice reaching a volume I don't think any of us have heard from him before, leaving us all in a state of shock. He cleared his throat before continuing

"As an antidote to Miss Potter's ignorance and on my desk by Monday morning two rolls of parchment on the werewolf, with emphasis on recognizing it." Everyone groaned but I was more focused on the letter Draco had sent Harry across the room in the shape of a little bird-looking thing.
