The rest of the holidays went by fine without any bickering between me and Remus. He did have a talk with Charlie but that's about it.
So after celebrating my eighteenth Birthday, we went back to Hogwarts along with the many students who had gone home.

Lessons started up again and by dinner, I already felt like I should've declined coming back here. It's not that I don't like the subjects, it's just that I already know it all. I did an independant study and this is just a repeatall and I don't like that. I'm so bored. Even mocking Snape didn't lift my mood.
Then I thought 'Remus'll cheer me up but he was occupied. He's giving Harry lessons to fend of dementors.

He told me about them each and every time he had had one. Remus said that Harry could produce a faint silver fog but nothing more. He also told me that Harry can hear Lily and James when the dementors get too close. I'm so glad I know how to produce a good patronus. I can't imagine what it would be like to keep repeating your worst memories. According to Remus, Harry's pushing himself too much but honestly. Who can blame him?

Sadly enough, he also told me Harry believes my dad should have the dementors' kiss. Ofcourse Harry thinks my dad sold out his parents and all of that nonsense, but yeah no I understand. If someone told me a best friend of my parents sold them out to Voldypants, I would have tried to get him the worst fate possibly as well.

Let's not dwell on all that depressing stuff now, eh? There's quidditch today! It's Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor and with Harry having gotten his Firebolt back. Ravenclaw doesn't stand a chance.

Right when Harry was going for the snitch for the third time, three dementors flew after him. Only they seemed a bit ... off. Harry cated his patronus and went on to catch the snitch, ending the game in favor of Gryffindor. Only after the game came Remus to inform me that the 'strange dementors' were actually a few slytherins, with Draco being one of them. It was all okey though. They got detention and lost 50 housepoints.

That night Daddy dearest decided to delight the Gryffindor tower with his presence , succesfully making everyone even more scared of him than they were allready. He can be such an idiot sometimes!
Thank goodness he managed to get out of the castle without being caught! I can't bare the thought of him suffering the dementor's kiss.

Weeks passed and before I knew it another Hogsmeade weekend arrived. Sadly though, Charlie couldn't make it. A new dragon was supposed to arrive today and they were going to need everyone at the institute, includibg Charlie. Therefore I stayed with Remus. He read a book while I wrote an essay for transfiguration. I had just finished my work when an annoying voice screamed through our courters. Who else could it be but Snivellus?
"Lupin! I want a word!"
"What got his wand in a knot? " Remus answered me with a shrug and a "I'll be right back. " then stepped in the fire. Nice now me and my curiosity are left alone. What would Snape want from Moony? He won't tell him about my threat, that was months ago. But what would he want? Mmm

Deciding that I am not going to get an answer by sitting around, I stood up and left in the direction of Snape's office.right when I got at the entrance hall, I saw Moony with Harry and uhm Ron, I think? Whatever Harry and Charlies youngest brother.

"What's going on Remmy?" I asked sickly sweet. Remus gave me a look which clearly said to drop the innocent act, then explained.
"Professor Snape caught Harry with the Map. I covered for him, but I will not do it again." During that last part he gave an exaggerated look to Harry. Harry gulped and I smiled. At least I'm not the only one who gets affected by Remus' authority. Then I remembered he said the Map. That couldn't possibly be
"The Marauders Map? Oooooh can I see? I haven't seen it in ages!" At this I recieved a few strange looks. Harry and Ron were looking at me as if I had just grown another head and Remus looked like he wanted to facepalm. I probably shouldn't have said that.
Instead of answering me, Remus just said his goodbyes to the boys and guided me back to our room. He handed me the Map and I grinned.
"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good. " with a tap of my wand, the Map showed its familiar greetings and then the outlines of the castle became visible. I spend the rest of the night stalking everyone on the Map.

Time passed and the easter holidays approached. I was going home to Charlie alone this time. Remus was going to stay in the castle as he still had loads of work to do. I think he has also finally accepted Charlie and I and wants to give us some privacy. Whatever it was that made him stay at Hogwarts, I was glad for it. Don't get me wrong, I love Remus. It's just that I can't act the way I normally do around Charlie with Remus watching over me.

Easter holidays therefore were amazing. Charlie and I went to a barbecue from some guys from the dragon institute and had a great time. Then we made a short trip to Italy. He knew I had always wanted to see Rome, so he had decided to surprise me by taking some days off to go there. We had so much fun! We saw the colloseum and ate some great pizza. We also went to the Vatican and saw some art in some museum. To conclude, we had the time of our lives.

Sadly all good things come to an end and so does this holiday. I came back on the last day of the break and decided to go to the library as I haven't actually done any work over the break and I'm supposed to do my NEWT's this year.

When I got there, I saw a bushy haired girl surrounded by A LOT OF BOOKS. Deciding to be friendly for once, I went to say hi.
"Hey, kid. Need some help?" She looked up at me and I swear her eyes grew the size of tennisballs. Is it so odd for me to help someone?

Yeah it kinda is.

She composed herself and then seemed to think about her answer.
"You're June Malfoy, right?" She said it carefully as if trying not to insult me. That or she was afraid I was going to hurt her.
"Yeah, I am. Why? Is there something specific I can do for you? Or are uou afraid of my last name?" I smiled at her and tried to look as nice as possible.
She pondered for a minute and then formed her answer.
"Well, It's so that Buckbeak, the hippogriff, is going to killed because of the fact that he scratched Draco Malfoy. His father went to the court of disposure of dangerous creatures and well Buckbeak lost and I thought that maybe, you know, you could"
"I could stop the dead of Buckbeak? Sure, I'll give it a try. Just let me know when they get here and I'll talk to whoever it is I have to talk to." She smiled at me and I smiled back before going off to finish my homework.
