Chapter 18- The return to Hogwarts

Today was our first day back at Hogwarts since the christmas break. We were sat in potions with the Slytherins and Snape. I was fiddling with the necklace around my neck which was my present off my mother and not paying attention to the class.

“Miss Cliff, please could you enlighten the class on how many snake fangs you would use in a cure for boils potion?” Snape asked me as he looked at me and I finally looked up from the desk.

“i don't know.” I told him honestly, I really didn't potions wasn't my speciality.

“well it's a good job we aren't focusing on this particular potion today then isn't it, Mr Malfoy maybe you could explain to your partner what we are actually learning today.” he said as he resorted to sitting on his seat and telling us to answer the questions within the textbook.

“we are on page 97.” Draco said as I flicked through the book, I flicked to the page he said without saying anything. “a simple thank you would have been nice.”

“i don't care what you think is nice.” I said as I finally looked for him.

“no all you seem to care for is that necklace around your neck, Harry get you it for christmas.” he sneered.

“not that it is any of your business, no my mam did.” I told him truthfully. “now will you let me answers the questions I can't be dealing with Snape today.” I said as I returned my gaze to the book in front of me.

“it's six snake fangs you add to the cure for boils potion, after crushing them of course.” he said before he returned to writing, I really had no interest in how many snake fangs you needed for a cure for boils potion.

“you and Malfoy looked very cosy in potions.” Ron said as we sat in the common room.

“what do you mean?” I asked him, I mean me and Malfoy hadn't looked cosy since that night in the astronomy tower.

“I mean you were talking, you never usually talk to him.”

“he just told me the answer to Snape's question that he asked me, probably getting joy out of the fact he knew the answer and I didn't.”

“sounds like him, did you here that Seamus apologised to Harry?” he asked me.

“no.” truth be told I hadn't really talked to Harry, Hermione or even Ginny.

“yeah he said even his mam says that it sounds crazy what they are saying now.”

“well at least he trusts Harry, he had no reason to be lying.”

“oh and Hagrids back.” he added.

“Hagrid's back.” I said smiling.

“thats the first time you've smiled since christmas.” Ron pointed out, I chose to ignore this.

“where had he gone?” I asked before Ron looked around to see if anyone is listening.

“i'm going to tell you because I know Harry trusts you and will probably tell you in anyways.” as he said this he moved closer to me. “Hagrid had been to pardon with the giants to get them to join our cause.” he whispered to me.

“did they join? Is he ok?” I asked.

“he was a little worse for wear, I mean there were other people there trying to get the giants to join there cause.”

“death eaters.” I instantly said.

“yeah and I think the giants took there side not ours.” he told me.
