Carina Malfoy//h.potter

CHAPTER NINETEEN

By the next morning, Harry Potter was once again the center of attention, whispers about Sirius Black accompanied his name. Carina Malfoy could clearly see the student body staring at him while he awkwardly sat down for breakfast.

"I know something!" said Pansy Parkinson in a sign-songed tone as Daphne Greengrass and her took a seat besides Carina who just raised an eyebrow in response.

"Don't you always?" rolled his grey eyes Draco Malfoy.

Pansy blinked her eyes trying to look cute "Potter blew up his aunt with accidental magic."

The Slytherins around them who heard began to snicker mockingly, some youngling asked sarcastically "Isn't he a too old to have magic outburst?", another one said "What about the dementor thing?", they turned and looked at him from their table. Carina noticed some of her fellow Housemates mimicking a fainting fit.

Carina shot a warning look towards the two second year boys "Stop behaving immaturely. I expect more of the noble House of Slytherin." she spoke in a tone way too familiar with Snape's.

The boys turned red and replied shyly "Forgive us Lady Carina."

Draco groaned"I can't believe that this will be our life now."

Carina just blinked at him questionably.

"Are you going to order all of them?" he gestured around their table.

Carina hummed as she cupped her tea "Perks of being a Malfoy, I say." her lips quirked up ironically.

Draco rolled his eyes once again and grabbed her timetable to compare with his own. He frowned as realization dawned him "Well, that's a bummer." Carina glanced at him curiously "It seems as if we only have three classes together."

Carina titled her head on her side "Do not worry, Dray dear. You'll have Zabini along with Goyle and Crabbe with you."

"Yes, but it's not the same." he pouted.

Carina petted his head gently "Is sweet Dray sulking that his little sister will not be with him all the time?"

Draco's ears turned red as he scoffed shoving her hand away "Shut up you nerd! Moreover, what kind of sane person takes both Ancient Runes and Arithmancy for electives? Only Theodore, you, I reckon some Ravenclaws and obviously Granger." he commented half-heartily.

Carina chuckled lightly then she turned her blue eyes towards Blaise Zabini who immediately sat straight meeting her austere gaze, "Zabini," she started "Please, try to keep him away from trouble. I do not want to hear anything about Draco arguing, especially with Potter, in my absence."

Blaise nodded and smiled "Of course, my Lady." he replied charmingly with a wink but immediately turned to his plate the moment Draco glared at him.

"And I expect a full report how he is doing with his lesson." she added ignoring Draco's narrowed gaze.

"I do not need a babysitter!" he snapped annoyed while Carina smiled kindly with mischief in her blue eyes "Brother dear," she said sweetly "Of course you do."

"Well, I have to get going to Arithmancy class. Now, if you excuse me, I have to pick up Granger." she said politely making Draco stare at her bewildered.

"Granger? Why?" he wondered out-loud.

"To enforce House unity."she replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

Draco's grey eyes narrowed accusingly "You just want to annoy father."

"That's just a bonus." Carina responded cheekily.
