Chapter 2 Dementors Here?

4 years later (5th year)

I was always a happy child. The fact that the Dursley's tried their hardest to make our lives miserable, but that just made me more determined to be happy. Then it changed. Harry tried to make me miserable, but I wouldn't let him.

At first, I did. I continued to think that being in Slytherin that was evil. It took a good six months to make my own friends. One I did, I know that my brother was wrong. Once I made friends with Daphne, I easily made more friends.

At first a lot of kids wanted to me my friends with me because of my brother. I don't like those people, even now, four years later. I want nothing to do with them.

Like I said I make friends with Daphne, everyone else was easy. It took a little longer, but I did become friends with Draco. We hang out a lot during the school year, but Daphne is my best friend. Pansy Parkinson is a different story. We kind of get along. She really likes Draco, and doesn't like how much the two of us hang out. As the years have gone on, I'm starting to think she just wants me gone.

Our fifth year is about to start. I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts. I can't stand being in this house with these people much longer. Uncle Vernon doesn't like it when we hang around downstairs a lot. That's why I'm up in the room that Harry and I share.

Harry tends to stay out of the house because of that. Speaking of him, he's not the best brother. He only speaks to me when necessary. It's because I'm a Slytherin. He hates it. He also hates my friends, especially Draco. I swear that the two of is aren't friends just to piss Harry off. It's just an added bonus.

Dudley is another story. He spends most of the day out with his little gang, but every now and then they come inside. I try to stay away from them, but I've been cornered a few times. Nothing bad, just a few comments that I try not to think of. Ever.

Harry got in trouble earlier when Uncle Vernon caught him listening to the news. This summer has been weird. Harry has gotten any letters this summer. I've gotten a few from Daphne and one from Draco. I still don't know any more than Harry and I don't dare ask. Not after what happened at the end of last year.

I do have an owl, a scops owl. Her name is Dart, mainly because she can do anything but dart. I only use her for letters, but I absolutely love her.

"Diddy, that's the matter?" I heat Aunt Petunia shriek, causing me to jump. I rush downstairs as she calls for my uncle. I run into Harry at the bottom of the stairs.

"Boy! COME HERE!" Uncle Vernon bellows. Harry goes into the kitchen and I follow him to figure out what's going on. I look over at Dudley who is green looking green. "What have you done to my son?" he growls.

"Nothing." Not that he'll believe Harry.

"What did he do to you Diddy?" Aunt Petunia asks in a worrying voice. "Was it- was it you- know- what, darling? Do he use- his thing?" Dudley nods.

I look over at Harry. "I didn't!" Harry says sharply. "I didn't do anything to him, it wasn't me, it was-" He's cut off by a screech owl swooping in through the window. I stifle a laugh as us barley misses the top if Uncle Vernon's head.

It drops a letter at Harry's feet at Uncle Vernon glares at me. It leaves through the window that it came in. "OWLS" he bellows. "OWLS AGAIN. I will NOt HAVE ANYMORE OWLS IN MT HOUSE."

I go over and read the letter that Harry got over his shoulder. I let out a small gasp. He's expelled from Hogwarts? "What happened out there?" I ask.
