Andromeda Malfoy: Harry Potter Fanfic

Flying Lesson and Fluffy

Andromeda's POV

It's tome for our first flying lesson and Draco won't stop boosting about how he's been flying for years. Honestly, he's gotten really annoying since school started. My parents sent me a letter saying how proud they are that I'm in Slytherin with Draco and that they look forward to seeing me in the Christmas Holidays. But the longer I'm in Slytherin the more lonely I feel.

I have no true friends in Slytherin. Most of them are in Gryffindor and I have to keep it a secret. I wish I could hang out with my friends and not feel lonely. But I don't want to be disowned and lose my family. I don't know who to talk to about this. Sure I speak to Hermione, but she can never truly understand what I'm going through. If only I could speak to my unknown godmother, maybe she could help me.

I sigh and push it from my mind as I play with my breakfast. "You ok sister?" Draco asks me.

"I'm fine, just nervous I guess" I tell him. "You know I distaste flying" I remind him.

"I doubt we'll even be a foot off the ground, just relax. You'll be fine" he assures me. I give him a small smile, my big brother can be caring sometimes. I just wished he showed it more often. He finished eating and we go to the training ground for the flying lesson. Which is with Gryffindors.

"Good afternoon class" Madame Hooch says once we are lined up facing each other.

"Good afternoon Madame Hooch" we say together.

"Welcome to your first flying lesson" she tells us. "Well, what are you all waiting for? Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up" she instructs. I stand beside Draco with a broom either side of me. "Stick out your right hand over your broom,and say 'up" she instructs us.

I put my right hand over the broom on my right. I take a deep breath and say "up". The broom just rolled around on the ground while Draco's shot straight into his hand. It must sense my fear and reluctance to fly. I calm my nerves remembering what Draco had said. "Up" I say firmly and it glides slowly into my hand.

Once we all had our brooms in hand Madame Hooch shows us how to mount them properly. She told Draco how he'd been doing it wrong for years. "Now, when I blow my whistle, you kick off from the ground, hard, said Madam Hooch. Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly" Madame Hooch explains. "On my whistle three two..." she blows her whistle.

But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard. He shot into the air.  "Come back down this instant!" Madame Hooch shouts. But Neville lost control of the broom and slams into a statue. Before falling to the ground.

We all gather around as Madame Hooch exams him. She helps him stand as he moans in pain. "A broken wrist" she announces. "None of you is to move while I take Mr Longbottom up to the hospital wing! If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will be out of Hogwarts before you can say Quidditch" she states as they leave.

Draco suddenly picks up a clear round ball. "Did you see his face?" he asks us. "Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he'd have remembered to fall on his fat ass" he states. Harry steps forward.

"Give it here Malfoy" he instructs.

"No, I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find" Draco states mounting a broom. "How about on the roof?" he suggests flying around us. "What's the matter Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" he asks mockingly.

"Harry no way" Hermione tells him. "You heard what Madame Hooch said, besides you don't even know how to fly" she states. But he takes off after my brother anyway. "What an idiot" she grumbles.

"A brave idiot" I tell her smirking and she rolls her eyes.

"Give it here, Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom!" Harry shouts.

"Is that so?" my brother drawls as he tosses the ball and catches it. Harry tried to take it, but Draco dodged him. "Have it your way then" Draco states and throws it. Harry zooms after it and manages to catch it. He is truly a natural flier, better then Draco. Though I'd never tell Draco that.

He landed and is surrounded by cheering Gryffindors while Draco sulks. Professor McGonagall appeared and took Harry away. Draco smirks thinking he'd won something.

(That night)

I'm doing my homework when I over hear Draco speaking to his 'friends'. "They'll definitely be expelled after this. I told Filch they'd be in the trophy room at midnight. One less Weasley and no more Potter" he boosts smirking. I growl and stalk out of the common room unnoticed by anyone.

I make my way to the trophy room to hear more then two voices inside. "Wait I hear someone approaching" Harry whispers. I find them.

"We need to leave right now" I tell them.

"What? Who are you?" Harry asks me confused.

"Andy, why are you here?" Hermione and Neville ask me.

"Saving your necks, my brother set a trap for you" I explain. Just then there is a noise in the next room made us jump. Harry had only just raised his wand when they heard someone speak.

"Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner" Filch tells his cat.

'She was telling the truth' Ronald mouths to Harry.

'Go, go now' I mouth and we all make a run for it. Neville suddenly tripped, grabbed Ron around the waist, and the pair of them toppled right into a suit of armor. "Run!" I shout with Harry. We sprinted down the gallery, not looking back to see whether Filch was following we swung around the doorpost. Then galloped down one corridor then another, Harry in the lead. Without any idea where we are or where we are going we rip through a tapestry. We found ourselves in a hidden passageway, hurtled along it and came out near the Charms classroom.

"I think we lost him" Harry pants.

"I told you" Hermione tells him annoyed.

"Look, we all return to our separate common rooms. No one needs to know about this" I tell them.

"Why did you help us?" Ron asks me confused. But before I could answer Peeves appeared. Oh no, just great. Why not invite a cave troll while your at it?

"STUDENTS OUT OF BED DOWN THE CHARMS CORRIDOR!" he bellows. We duck under him and run for our lives. Right at the end of a corridor we slam into a door, it's locked.

"That's it we're done for" Ron mutters while Neville whimpers in fear.

"Oh move over" Hermione demands pushing through. "Alohomora" she says pointing her wand at the lock. It unlocked and we clamber inside shutting the door behind us.

"Which way did they go, Peeves?" Filch demands. We freeze remaining perfectly quiet. All praying Peeves doesn't give us away again. Peeves tells him to say please. "Don't mess with me, Peeves, now where did they go?" he demands annoyed.

"Shan't say nothing if you don't say please" Peeves tells him.

"Ok, please" Filch says.

"NOTHING! Ha haaa! Told you I wouldn't say nothing if you didn't say please! Ha ha! Haaaaaa" Peeves laughs. I hear him whoosh away as Filch leaves grumbling.

"I thought the door was locked" Ron says confused.

"It was locked" I tell him. We hear Neville whimper and Harry turns to face him.

"And with good reason" Harry tells us. We all turn to see a three headed dog waking up. It notices us and begins to growl. We run out the door and it nearly got us.

But the others slammed the door shut while I pointed my wand at it saying "Colloportus". The door locks and we run for it. We reached the hall of stairs and I left them to return to my dorm. When I arrived no one was in the common room. I sighed in relief and go to my dorm. I brushed my teeth and removed my shoes before collapsing onto my bed. Where I fell asleep.
