Third Year-
The castle was in an uproar after the incident with Sirius Black and the fat lady's portrait. Both the teachers and the students were concerned with how he had gotten in undetected and how no one could locate him in the aftermath.The worst part of the whole security breach wasn't the fact that a mass murdering Azkaban escapee was on the hunt for her blood. It was that everyone around her was walking on eggshells and treating her as if she were a piece of fine China about to tip over the edge of a table.
Like she was just going to tumble and break at any moment.
The stares and whispers followed her no matter where she went in the school. It was like the chamber of secrets all over again.
Except this time, people weren't scared of her— they were scared for her.
This continued on until later in the week when she was rushing to defence against the dark arts after professor Mcgonagall had stopped her to confess the truth that she was already aware of about Sirius Black.
After her uncomfortable conversation with her head of house she realized that she didn't have a late slip and since Mcgonagall had hastily left the corridor Hally decided to sprint to her class to avoid being later than she already was.
Not expecting someone to be walking out of one of the archway of one stairways she ran smack into a solid figure that sent both of them tumbling to the hard floor with pained grunts.
"What the— Potter ?! What the bloody hell are you doing running like a madwoman through the halls !" The nasally voice of Draco Malfoy groaned while Hally started to push herself up.
She begrudgingly stuck her hand out to help him up as well but instead of taking it the irritating git just smacked it away.
She reeled away from him as she watched him struggle to get to his feet with one hand as his 'injury' from Buckbeak was still wrapped in a sling.
"I'm late for defence and— wait— so are you ! Why aren't you rushing ?" Hally asked accusingly as a sly smirk flitted over Malfoy's lips.
"Well unlike you I actually have a valid reason for being late and a note from madam Pomfrey to go along with it."
Hally tried to contain her temper as scowl took place on her lips.
"I'm surprised you don't have a teacher escorting you to class, they've been watching over your every move for weeks now." Draco snidely commented as the two of them picked their textbooks up off of the ground.
