Love vs Family (Draco Malfoy)

D.A.D.A

I walked down to the common room to see Harry waiting for me. "Aw is Harry being a sweet brother." Harry just rolled his eyes and walked out with me. "So excited for classes?" Harry asked. "I guess all I do is sit there waiting for homework that's assigned that I'm not going to do till last minute." Harry just shook his head. "I don't understand how your mind works, you read the textbooks ahead of time and can tell me page by page." "So can Hermione the only difference being I don't answer questions," I added as we arrived at the Great Hall. "What are you two going on about ?" Hermione asked as we sat down with her and Ron. "How I got the smarts and looks while Harry got his troublemaking skills." Harry glared at me while buttering his toast. "How do you think D.A.D.A is going to go?" Hermione asked. I just shrugged grabbing a piece of bacon before Ron decided he wanted the whole plate. "I think it'll go okay I mean Dumbledore wouldn't hire a crazy person," Harry said. I slammed my fork down. "Are we forgetting Lockhart or did we also get Obliviated?" Ron laughed while Hermione huffed in annoyance. McGonagall came by and passed out our schedules. "Ugh, double potions this is a nightmare," Ron said. "Potions isn't that bad Ron," I said. "Says teacher's pet."

I glared at him before getting up and going over to the Slytherin table. "Alright, ladies let's compare,"I said to Nicole and Dom. We all switched our schedules around to see which classes we had together. "Well, we've got D.A.D.A and potions together," said Dom. "Blimey, April why are you taking Ancient Runes no one understands that stuff." Nicole groaned. She was about to hand me back my schedule, but of course, a nuisance happened. I stood up ready to tackle Draco to the ground. "Give it back Draco!" Draco ignored me and looked at my classes. "Why are you taking Ancient Runes?" He asked. I snatched my schedule back as Nicole answered, "That's what I said."

"I'm not surprised you're taking a complicated class," Draco said. "Oh yeah why" I challenged him ready to hear an insult. "You are too smart for simple subjects naturally smarter than your friend Granger." He then walked away with that stupid smirk. "I hate him," I said grabbing my bag. "I'll say what I did the last term you two would be perfect for each other," Nicole said. "Please like I would ever go out with Malfoy." We were walking to our D.A.D.A class when we came across some Durmstrang boys. "I want one so bad," Nicole said gripping my arm. "Oh yeah and which one do you want?" I asked. "Krum obviously." I just rolled my eyes as we entered the classroom and sat down.

Professor Moody stood at the front and waited for us all to take a seat. I sat next to Hermione and slouched in my seat. "Alastor Moody, Ex-Auror, Ministry malcontent, and your new Defense against the dark arts teacher." This guy has been severely creepy. Hermione and I shared a look as Moody continued. "I am here because Dumbledore asked me, End of story, goodbye, the end." It was dead silent in the class. I think everyone was just nervous. "Which one of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?" I furrowed my eyebrows at that question while Hermione answered. "3 sir." I zoned out for a minute thinking of the three curses and what they all do I hope he doesn't demonstrate them. Moody took it a step further by throwing chalk at Seamus. "So which curse shall we see first," Moody said.

I could feel my heart racing as he asked Ron to name one. I could tell Hermione, and I was thinking the same thing as Moody brought out a spider. He placed Imperio on it and paraded the spider over people heads. Draco being the idiot he laughs loud when Ron was being tortured so Moody but it on Draco's face. Everyone laughed while Harry clapped. "How do we sort out liars?" Moody asked. I froze and looked at Neville praying he didn't raise his hand. Neville and I have gotten close since the 2nd year, and he told me everything about his parents. I promised I wouldn't tell anybody about it, but if Moody performs this, I don't know how Neville is going to feel. There were a few hands before Moody called on Neville. "There's the Cruciatus curse," Neville said.

Moody had Neville come to the front in front of the spider. I gripped my wand ready to stop Moody professor or not. Moody said crucio and everyone heard the spiders scream but I was looking at Neville's face. "STOP IT; IT'S BOTHERING HIM STOP!" I yelled as I stood up and pointed my wand at Moody. Everyone was surprised by my outburst except Moody. He ended the curse and brought the spider over to my table. "Ms. Potter I've heard a lot about you from Dumbledore so much power." Moody was staring into my eyes, and it was creeping me out. He blinked away and asked me, "Perhaps you can give us the last curse Ms. Potter I'm sure you know it." I lowered my wand and sat down glaring at Moody. "Avada Kedavra" Moody said as he killed the spider. I couldn't stop the tears. "The killing curse, Only one has been known to have survived it, and he's sitting in this room," Moody said as he looked at Harry.

After that, the bell rang, and everyone filed out. I was still rooted to my seat as Nicole and Dom came over. "April are you okay?" Nicole asked. I nodded my head as I wiped my face. "That man is cruel," I said as I stood up. I bent down to reach for my bag, but it was already in front of me. I looked up to see Draco holding my bag out for me. "You look uglier than usual when you cry, Potter," Draco said as I grabbed my bag. "Like your face is average," I said. Nicole and Dom walked out the room with me as I went to find Neville.
