Heed The Roar: Hogwart's Lioness & Protector (On Hold)

Chap 23 - Friends and Scars

Y/n's POV

It had been a week into the new school year and Fred, George, Lee, Peeves and I have been pranking the heck out of bullies and used the Marauders map to hide from Filch in a secret exit. We were now walking around the corridors laughing and towards the black lake to play with the giant squid in it's waters. I was having fun til I looked up seeing Cedric and an unknown girl kissing, needless to say my heart stopped beating as I stormed over there with my best friends behind me as we approached them, Cedric pushed the girl away and wiped his mouth in anger. "I told you that I have a girlfriend! Why the bloody hell would you do that?!" He said seriously while the girl began insulting me and my friends. "Potter is not a good enough girl for you handsome when she is ugly. Along with her degrading friends excuses for purebloods and spirit." I walked behind the girl and tapped her onto her shoulder. Once she did her face was met with my fist since I couldn't use magic off of school grounds, the girl and I began fighting it out with me winning. "If I ever see you insulting my friends again or me, I'll make your life a living hell!" I said as Fred and George held me back.

**************************************

As the girl ran off Y/n looked over at Cedric angrily then breathed slowly. "Okay, that's the last straw Ceddy I think we should breakup that is the fifth time a girl flirted with you and this one kissed you! We are still friends but I can't take this injustice anymore." She said while Fred, George, Lee and Cedric looked at their friend. Cedric sighed softly before he and Y/n hugged, he kissed her forehead lightly. "I understand, N/n and at least I'll still be friends with a brilliant girl and prankster like you." He said smiling sweetly. After a month Lioness, Hyena, Coyote, Cheetah and Badger along with Peeves walked into their DADA class with professor Lupin so far it's been great learning from a man who actually knew what he was doing, today we were learning about boggart and riddikulus. We all had a go with finding out interesting fears of the Marauders and laughed happily as Y/n stood in front of the boggart smiling til she saw it change from Harry to Fred dead on the ground then into a dementor. "Expecto Patronum!" She said out loud as her lioness came out and roared making the creature go back into the wardrobe. Everyone looked at her before she ran out of the classroom not stopping until she made it to her little sanctuary aka Hagrid's hut where she found Harry, Ron, Hermione and their class for caring for magical creatures. Hagrid noticed her distraught look and welcomed her into the class as an assistant since she learned from former professor Kettleburn about hippogriffs. Y/n petted the beautiful beast feathers smiling and giggled as he nuzzled her head and lightly nipped at her hair. "Morning Buckbeak, you look smashing today." She said while bowing down as Hagrid got ready with the chain to take the hippogriff to show the class, Once buckbeak bowed as well he let Y/n onto his back. "Hagrid can I show off a bit?" Y/n asked her friend as he nodded and she smiled. "Alright Bucky let's show those kids who you are." Y/n said as he took off into the air while Hagrid walked back to the class and whistled sharply then everyone looked up seeing a mass of gray feathers then the horse like body of the hippogriff. "Everyone this is Buckbeak and you all know Y/n." Hagrid said as the young woman got off of the beast then they bowed to each other. "Hippogriffs are prideful beasts and if they don't trust ya then best to back off." Y/n said smiling while the beast nuzzles her face making her laugh. "But I've know Buckbeak here since he was first hatched by Professor Hagrid, so he thinks of me as a sister cause I helped raise him with my great love and respect for magical creatures." Y/n said smiling while the class went along, she was so happy when Harry got to fly off with Buckbeak and congratulated him til she spotted Draco insulting Buckbeak as he rose to his hind legs about to strike the idoit down.

***********************

Everyone watched as Y/n ran over quickly towards Draco and pushed him back while a scream of pure pain and agony ripped through her throat. Hagrid quickly got Buckbeak away from Y/n and Draco as Harry, Ron and Hermione along with everyone else ran to check on Y/n whom was now on her knees holding back tears in her e/c eyes. "Y/n!" Harry said as everyone saw her gryffindor cloak, shirt and back was ripped open wide for all to see. Blood dripped down her skin slowly while Harry guickly removed his cloak then placed it onto her shoulders lightly as Hagrid walked over and took her away to the hospital wing immediately. Ron and Hermione held Harry back from Draco so he'd not kill the idoit. "YOUR A IDOIT MALFOY! MY SISTER TOLD EVERYONE BEFORE THE LESSON TO NEVER INSULT A HIPPOGRIFF AND BECAUSE OF YOU, SHE GOT INJURED SAVING YOUR PATHETIC ASS!!" With those words said as they are, the news traveled fast throughout the school. In the hospital wing lied Y/n with her upper body completely wrapped up in sterile bandages with Hagrid explaining what had happened to Dumbledore, Mcgonagall, Snape and Lupin as Madame Pomfrey for the girl's wounds before familiar mops of red, brown, black, dirty blonde and whitewashed blue hair ran into the room breathlessly. Harry looked over seeing his sister was in bed before running over with Fred,George Lee, Cedric, Ron, Hermione and Peeves to her bedside as Harry and Y/n looked at each other. Y/n smiled even though she was in great pain as Poppy gave her a healing poultice and helped her drink it down then she was free to talk while her back healed up. "Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Lee, Cedric and Peeves shouldn't you all be in class or disturbing said class?" Y/n asked til her brother and friends hugged her carefully while minding her back. "Ms. Potter you my dear are very lucky to not get that deep of talon wound but I'm afraid you'll have a set of scars on your back for a while." Poppy told them as her godfather Severus and godmother Minvera checked her now healed up wounds. "Herimone dear could you go get Y/n here so new clothes please and that was one of the most foolish things I've ever heard you do, Y/n. You've could been injured worst." Minnie said as Y/n smiled sweetly at her professors and said. "I'm just doing what I swore I'd do long ago and that is protect everyone I love and know including that idoit Draco Malfoy." She said honestly as Dumbledore and Remus smiled at her. "Truer words said by a true leader determined to fight for what's right no matter the cost, I award Gryffindor house with fifty points for Y/n's bravery to defend a student from a different house then her own." Dumbledore said while the professors and her brother and friends left her alone minus Fred. "What's wrong Freddie? You look so if I'd die today i mean mmmm...." Y/n was quickly silenced by her bestfriend as he kissed her on the lips while a few minutes passed by she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. A few minutes passed by as the two pulled away from each other with a ribbon of salvia breaking from their lips, the girl looked up at her best friend as he did the same to her before she smiled sweetly at him then pulled him back down into a sweet yet lovingly kiss until some people cleared their throats causing them to look up then blush deep red as George held his hand out towards Lee and Cedric whom placed a gold galleon each into his palm. "Finally you two snogged, and good on ya Freddie for manning up to finally kiss her." George said as Lee and Cedric stifled a laugh. Y/n stood up and chased her friends into the corridor not really caring that she was half naked since she had bandages wrapped around her upper body while Harry, Ron, Hermione and Fred run after her with fresh clothes and smiles on their faces. "GEORGE WEASLEY, LEE JORDAN, AND CEDRIC AMOS DIGGORY WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU THREE I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!!!!" Y/n yelled out loud as her friends and family laughed as they all ran past Severus and Remus whom smiled softly seeing their friends in the girl while Severus saw Lily's temperament, Remus was James mischievous personality.

*Later that Night in the Common Room*

Fred and Y/n sat down on a cozy red sofa as a fire burned in the fireplace, her head rested on his shoulder and his head on her's. "Looks like we're together now this time Freddie my laughing Hyena." Y/n said smiling happily as he kissed her forehead lightly. "Right you are, N/n my beautiful and brave lioness." He said smiling as well before they kissed once more in front of the fire's light as it showed their shadows on the red covered walls til they pulled away smiling at each other then said. "I love you, Fred,Y/n."
