Y/n Lovegood And The Four Houses [BOOK 1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

~Light Reading~

After I'm leaving charms with Hannah and Susan, I see Hermione beckoning me over. "Y/n! Harry, Ron and I figured out what Fluffy's protecting!" Hermione says to me.

"Fluffy?" I say surprised. "That thing has a name?" I ask. Hermione nods.

"It's Hagrid's, and he's protecting something that has to do with Nicholas Flamel, whoever that is," Hermione tells me, her eyes glistening.

"Hey, did you figure out anything about the three headed dog?" Neville appears next to me.

"Yeah his name's Fluffy!" I burst out laughing. Hermione rolls her eyes.

"And he's protecting something that has to do something with this guy called Nicholas Flamel," Hermione adds in a matter-of-factly tone. Neville nods and we walk towards my common room

"See you guys at dinner!" I say, before crawling through the portrait hole.

"Hey! You wanna work on some homework before dinner?" Susan asks me. I shrug and amgree. We head to our dorm and each of us pull out our textbooks. "Hmm, I need help in Herbology, can you help me?" Susan asks me. I nod and we start working.

"C'mon you two Ravenclaws, we're gonna be late for the food!" Hannah bursts in. I immediately bounce up and slam my textbook shut, startling Susan. I run behind Hannah with Susan not far behind me. We quickly reach the Great Hall and plop into our seats, out of breath.

"Woah, you three look like you just ran a marathon!" Heidi says laughing, I widen my eyes dramatically.

"Me? Never!" I say, pretending to be accused before laughing with her.

"Y/n! So, are you staying here for Christmas?" Hannah pops up next to me as I leave the Potions classroom.

"No, I'm pretty sure I'm going home. Why? Wanna send me a present? Don't worry I'll give you my address," I jokingly say, smirking mischievously.

"Actually yeah! Me and Susan wanted to know wether to leave your present here or send it some where!" Hannah laughs.

"Oh, okay, here," I hand her a parchment with my address on it. "If anyone asks you for my address you can tell them, I don't mind. Unless they're You-Know-Who, please don't," I add, making Hannah laugh.

"So! Y/n! I'm having Ron and Harry do some research on Nicholas Flamel while we're on Christmas vacation since they're staying and we're not, Neville isn't either, so it's all up to Ron and Harry," Hermione says. I nod along and make sure I get all my friends addresses to send them gifts, or in Harry and Ron's case Hogwarts. I realize I know I'm going to get my friends gifts, but I don't know what to get them....

I think about my friends' personalities.
Hannah is bold and confident... maybe I'll get her a bejeweled necklace!

Susan is smart and sweet, maybe a friendship bracelet!

Hermione is intelligent and caring, books definitely.

Ron is funny and loves food, candy!

Harry is daring and brave, maybe something Gryffindor related...

Neville is sweet, shy, smart and— right the gift! Hm, maybe something to do with Herbology since he loves Herbology!

I had the perfect ideas so I decide to read outside in the autumn weather. I grab my coat and scarf and head out with a book I'm currently reading called "Fish In A Tree" about a girl with a learning disability. It's very interesting.

As I'm halfway through my current chapter, I see Malfoy and his goons approaching. I scoff and roll my eyes, but ignore them nonetheless. "Hey Lovegood! What'd you have there? One of Granger's study guides!" Malfoy calls to me. I ignore him and keep reading. "Ignoring me are you, Lovegood? You can't do that forever!" Malfoy calls, walking closer to the tree I was sitting under. I heave a sing but ignore him.

"Ignore him and he'll leave," I think to myself. Boy was I wrong.

"C'mon Lovegood! Pay attention! I'm probably teaching you how to be better at being a witch!" Malfoy says, after casting Wingardium Leviosa. I look up at him through my eyelashes and shut my book. "Ah, finally come to your senses, Lovegood," Malfoy walks closer to me.

I suddenly feel uncomfortable, so I cast, "Flipendo!" and Malfoy flies backwards. He falls on his arse and looks at me with rage, shock and another emotion that I can't quite pinpoint. I turn, pick up my books and walk away. I hear the loud footsteps of his cronies and do a swift three-sixty turn, disarming them and then continuing.

What dinguses...
