The Slytherin Princess [Book 1] ☑️

Chapter 16: Pesky Pixies

  Your POV
The next day Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, and I walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts class and I hoped it wasn't something dumb.

"YN, I need to tell you something." Draco said.

"Okay." I said.

"We'll go so you guys can talk." Goyle said and the both of them walked faster, not making eye contact with me.

"Looks like I scare everyone." I giggled.

"Looks like it." Draco said, "Anyway, I'm sorry about what Marcus said to you."

"It wasn't your fault. Besides Marcus is just a bully. I just shake it off." I said. (Taylor Swift pun intended.)

"I'm glad you said that. I couldn't sleep all night." Draco said.

"So what do you think Professor Lockhart is going to make us do today? Another quiz about him." Draco teased.

I glared at him, "I don't want to think about it. But yes I think he'll make us do another quiz about him or what he's done." I said.

We bursted into laughter. As usual I sat in the front and Draco sat beside me.

There was a bird cage draped in a bergundy silk cloth.

"Oh, bloody hell what does he have planned?" I asked.

Draco chuckled. "If you don't quit you'll make me laugh!" Draco whispered.

"Isn't that the point of our friendship?" I asked.

Draco held back laughter. It looked like he was about to burst.

"Okay class, how is everyone doing today?" Professor Lockhart asked.

"Not very good." I whispered to Draco.

"YN quit. Please I'm begging you." Draco pleaded.

"Fine..." I said.

"Now, don't scream it might provoke them!" Lockhart warned before he yanked the cloth off the cage.

"Cornish Pixies?" Seamus Finnigan asked, chuckling.

"Don't be fooled Mr. Finnigan, these Pixies can be tricky little blighters. Let's see what you make of them!" Lockhart said opening the cage.

The Cornish Pixies reeked havoc. One hung Neville on the chandelier.

"I'll do it!" Lockhart said, "Peskipiksi Pesternomi!"

And of course he did it wrong!

"Unbelievable! Wrong wand movements and wrong wording!" I complained.

"Peskipiksi Pesternomi!" I yelled, doing it CORRECTLY.

And every single one went back into the cage. And I magically put the cloth back on the cage.

"Well done Ms. YS, 50 points for Slytherin." Lockhart said shocked.

I sat down in a huff thinking about how Lockhart didn't act like a real wizard.

"Nice work back there YN!" Draco complimented.

"It was nothing. Just me fixing a wrong that the so called 'teacher' made." I replied.

"Well there's a Quidditch match in a few weeks. I was wondering if you'd like to come...you know cheer me on?" Draco asked, blushing.

I smiled. "I was already gonna cheer you on! I mean you are my best friend. But yes I will." I answered.

He grinned. "See ya later YN!" He called.

I shook my head thinking, What a dork...

And I carried on my day.
