The voice sneered as it spoke, insulting my newly made friend with ease. It angered me that she didn't insult him back, he was clearly a complete arse hole, so why is she standing for it?

"Malfoy." Hermionie spoke through a clenched jaw. I gripped her hand in my own and successfully calmed her down; well, slightly anyway.

"What's wrong Granger, the idea of being a blood traitor disgusting even you?" the same voice spoke, sounding as evil as i presumed he looked. I was stood with my back touching Hermionie's, struggling to control my explosive temper before i lashed out. This boy wasnt making it easy though, "Awe, you gonna' cry MudBlood?" Thew thin string holding both my sanity and my temnper snapped then.

I let go of my friends hand and spun around, takin g two large steps towards the boy before shoving him away, making him stumble a few steps back. i wasnt even angry any more, no, i was furious. what right did he have to verbally assault someone just because of who their family are?

"How dare you, you spineless little bastard? Leave the giurl alone, thjere is no need to speak to her like that when i bet she has never done anything wrong to you!" i yelled. When i was angry my english accent became sharper than usual; because of this i saw him visably flinch as i yelled, but he composed himself nicely. Once i finished my scolding he squared up to me. He tried to look intimidating but it didnt really work, as i stood at five foot ten inches he wasnt much taller tham me, meaning i had literally no reason to fear this weasel.

"How dare you! Filthy little blood traitor. I will do whatever i want to those below me! Do you even know who my father is?" he threatened, standing far too close for my liking. Unfortunately though i couldnt step back, it wopuld show weakness.

"No, i dont, but i bet he's as much of a spineless prat as you are, bringing daddy into the eqation ar eyou? Very brave of you, coward." i sneered in reply, "Stay away from my friends, or you'll have to answer to me once more." i threatened myself. Turning around i was about to walk away with a proud and happy looking Hermionie when he grippedn my wrist, digging his nails into my skin; i hissed at the feeling of his flesh on mine, it felt like his hand was burning my skin.

"Is that a threat?" he growled, his voice lower before as he spun me back around to face him, i hit into his chest and glared up at him. I could feel my eyes glowing silver as my anger reached its peak.

"No. Its a promise." swiftly i knee'd him in the crotch, as he bent over i pushed his head forcefully backwards making him fall to the floor with a thud. Two boys whom i had only just noticed rushed to his side, checking if he was ok. When he looked at me it was straight into my eyes, i knew they were glowing, i could feel it, i could see the fear in his eyes. "And i keep my word."

Turning away i left him cowering on the floor with his followers trying to help him up and walked away wioth Hermionie; Fred, George, Ron and Ginny had shown up at some point and witnessed the incounter. The boys and Hermionie grinned at me as i strutted away, proud of my actions towards the weasel, Ginny however still glared at me, though now there was a hint of fear in her green eyes.

I was yanked backwards and forced into a hug by my frizzy haired frined, she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed. I wasnt too comfortable in this situation to be honest, i never really got hugged, unless Remus was ill, drunk or hurt; but slowly i returned the hug, letting my arms sling over her shoulders. I chuckled a little when i noticed the book in my left hand, how i had managed to hold onto it without slamming it around the git's head i'll never know.

"Thank you," Hermionie whispered into my hair, being shorter than me meant she was only just tall enough to rest her chin over my shoulder. "No one's ever done that for me before." i smiled lightly and pulled away, the brunette had unshed tears in her eyes.

"It's ok, honestly, i wouldve dont it for anyone. He doesnt have the right to treat you that way just becaus of who your parents are, im betting that yours are a hell of a lot nicer than his. He's just a stuck up prick Hermionie, ignore everything he says, ok?" she nodded lightly, letting a tear fall from her eyes, "You're the better person Hermionie, no matter what he says."

"Why did you fight Malfoy?" Remus yelled at me, literally fuming with anger, i rolled my eyes as Ron and Hermionie jumped, vclearly not used to outbursts of his.

"Because he's an asre who deserved it!" i yelled back, this caught Molly and Arthur's attention to, infact i think the whole of the sweets store was looking at us, shocked and nosey about the yelling.

"You can't just fight people left right and centre, his family is very high up in the ministry, do you know what this could mean? Yo-"

"I dont care!" i oomed, the whole shop going silent. "You brought me here to make friends with these people, and now i have and you're saying i cant defend them? he was the one insulting her and bewing a coward! Why should i stand for it?" i yelled once mnore, taking a step closer to Lupin, he knew he needed to be be carefull of me when i was this angry, once more i could feel my blue eyes dilate to silver as he stared at me in shock. "I will defend my friends until my last breath if i have to!"

After a few moments of silence people began to go back to their business around the shop, presuming the fight was over and ignoring us from then on. Remus was looking at me in shock, Molly and Arthur looked at me with small smiles on their aging faces and my friends grinned at me.

"Ok." Remus said slowly, i furrowed my eye brows, "Ok, i'm sorry, it's my fault. i shouldnt have left you to walk off, it's my fault." i nodded lightly, "But, you need to control your anger, we cant have you launching at all of the pureblood idiots in slytherin, can we?" he smiled lightly as i rolled my eyes. There wouldve been at least ten of them arse holes sent to the hospital by the end of the year, that is a guarentee. Somehow i believe Malfoy will be sent there more than once.

"Come on, we've got to finish shopping!" Fred and George spoke in unision, i smiled at them both, they always seemed to do everything with one another. It was sweet.

"They're right, we've got to get to The Leaky Couldron before dusk." Ginny spoke up for the first time today.

"Why?" i asked, curiosity spiking,

"We're going to meet Harry there and get the Hogwarts Express tomorrow morning." Hermionie explained,

"Harry who?"

"Harry Potter of course!" the twins grinned. Well, i guess tyoday i'm meeting a celebrity.
