Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Three

Chapter thirteen - The Boggart

Y/n pov

You took a short cut to Defense Against the Dark Arts and you quickly rushed to get inside only to find Professor Lupin wasn't there. You noticed some surprised faces to see you in the next class you shake it off and take a seat next to Neville, Dean and Seamus sit in front of you.

"You didn't get expelled after you stood up to him?" Harry asked you from your left.

"No... but after our chat it may change." You said rubbing the back of your neck.

"What'd you do?" Seamus asked you gulped.

"I may've yelled at him.... And set his table on fire." You revealed. They stared at you like you had said something insane.

"Blimey Y/n!" Ron commented shaking his head.

"In my defense the fire was an accident." You state with a small smile still on your face.

"He'll be pissed." Dean commented.

"He seemed okay... I hope he doesn't take it out on your house." You tell them all. Harry gives you a sympathetic look.

"Why would he?" Seamus asks.

"Uh... I yelled at him for being tough on the Gryffindor's... Harry and Neville in particular..." You said. Neville gave you a small smile for standing up for him.

"Why'd you go and do that?" Dean hissed lightly.

"I mean if I was going to get in trouble, I thought I'd give him a piece of my mind... Sorry." You whimpered feeling bad if you caused them more trouble.

"It's fine, I won't get mad at Slytherin's princess... at least not today." Dean promised.

"Thanks Dean." You laughed, funny and kind of ironic how true it was.

Your conversation gets cut off by the sounds of doors opening. You see Professor Lupin walk in you see him looking shabby and fairly thin. You see him set down his tattered looking briefcase down on the teacher's desk.

"Good afternoon, would you please put all your books back in your bags. Todays lesson will be a practical lesson you will only need your wands." He said. You smiled warmly at him but also thought of how odd it was to start with so many practical lessons.

"Right then, if you'd follow me." He ordered us.

We all stood and followed him out. You held your wand tightly nerves begin to climb. Your teacher turns down some deserted corridors and another corner before there's only Peeves the poltergeist. He was floating upside down and had just stuffed the nearest keyhole with chewing gum. Professor Lupin was nearly two feet away from him before he took notice.

He began to sing. "Loony, loony Lupin." He continued on. "Loony, loopy Lupin, Loony, loopy Lupin." Peeves was always rude and unimaginable but he always had some respect for the teachers.

We all looked to see Professor Lupin's reaction but he was just smiling.

"I'd take that gum out of that keyhole if I were you Peeves. Mr. Filch won't be able to get to his brooms." The professor said pleasantly.

Peeves was awful and Filch wasn't better and having to deal with them, Dementors and Snape would make this year hard on you.

You noticed that Peeves blew a raspberry in Professor Lupins face and the Professor just sighed and took out his wand.

"This is a useful little spell, watch closely." He told the class.

"Waddiwasi!" He cast.

With the force of a bullet the chewing gum shot out of the keyhole and straight down Peeves's left nostril, he whirled away cursing. You smirked, may've not shut Peeves up out it got him out of the way.
