~The Slytherin Princess~ Draco Malfoy

"Professor, I don't know what has happened here." Adeline shook her head furiously as her and a few members of the Inquisitorial Squad stood in the entrance hall.

"Miss Charm, a swamp has magically appeared in the entrance and you have no idea how or why it is here?" Umbridge tutted in disappointment.

"We've tried everything Professor!" Draco snapped as Daphne shot a vanishing spell at the swamp, it being completely unsuccessful.

"Although I think I know who did it." Adeline spoke up, not wanting to be on the headmistresses bad side, "Fred and George Weasley. They've been selling prank products all year and I think this is one of them."

"Ah," Umbridge glared heavily at the swamp, Adeline didn't understand how that would make it go away, "the Weasley twins. How.... delightful."

"What shall we do with them headmistress?" Filch sniggered evilly, rubbing his dirty hands together. Adeline had never liked the man, in fact he gave her the creeps, "I have whips? Chains?"

Draco suddenly felt the urge to vomit as he discretely grabbed Adeline's upper arm and pulled her away from the disgusting man, not wanting her to be close to him.

"That will not be necessary Argus." Umbridge smirked widely, "I have my own methods of punishment." Adeline's skin crawled, she was far too familiar with the method of punishment being implied by the Professor.

"Children go to bed." Umbridge snapped at the Inquisitorial Squad, "I'll deal with this tomorrow."

Adeline and Draco tried not to appear too relieved as Umbridge dismisses them, Adeline's eyes nearly failing her, threatening to close any moment.

"Come here." Draco sighed as he noticed Adeline's sleepy state.

"What-?" Adeline was cut off as Draco swept her into his arms, leaving the girl no choice but to snuggle into his masculine chest. The girl let it happen, breathing in his comforting peppermint scent as he carried her to their dorm.

Draco arrived at the prefects dorm, to find Adeline still awake, face buried into his robes. As he attempted to walk towards her bedroom the brunette let out a mewl of disapproval.

"Can we sleep in your bed?" Adeline questioned, looking up at her boyfriend with an adorable pout that Draco couldn't seem to resist, reluctantly he nodded his head.

Adeline smiled as she was placed gently on Draco's four-poster king sized bed. Snuggling up to the sheets she squealed and blushed as Draco shrugged off his robes removing his white school shirt.

"I know you want to see." Draco teased as he removed the rest of his clothing, replacing them for a plaid pair of satin trousers.

"Have you got anything for me to wear?" Adeline asked, looking down at the silky sheets in order to hide the burning blush on her face.

"Just have a look." Draco shrugged, climbing into the bed as Adeline ascended from it, not bothering to look through Draco's wardrobe. Instead, the girl decided to pick up the shirt he was wearing throughout the day.

"Close your eyes." She giggled as Draco dramatically lifted his hands and placed them over his face, covering his eyes.

Quickly, Adeline got changed, removing her bra, buttoning up Draco's school shirt, letting it comfortably fall to her lower thighs, just shy of brushing her knees.

"You look adorable, come here." Draco ordered, extending his arms for the girl to climb into, which she did so willingly, lying on his chest as his chin knelt on her head.

"I love you." The brunette whispered in adoration as her eyes fluttered shut.

"I love you too." Draco mumbled back sleepily, raising a hand to stoke the Charms hair as they drifted to sleep.

The next morning, the entire school crowded around the courtyard, a hallowing similarity to when Professor Trelawney was sacked. However, this time teachers and students alike formed the crowd.

Adeline stood with her friends, the Inquisitorial Squad, looking proudly at the scene before them.

"So." Umbridge snapped, "so, you two think it's amusing to turn the school corridor into a swamp do you?" The Weasley twins sniggered.

"Pretty amusing, yeah." One of the twins replied back, no fear in his eyes. Adeline could never tell which one was witch so eventually she gave up trying.

"I've got the forms headmistress." Flitch croaked out, his horse voice making him sound thirty years older than what he actually was. Draco rubbed Adeline's arms comforting as goosebumps prickled on the surface of her skin, "I've got the forms and the whips! Please, let me do it now."

"Slow down Argus." Umbridge scolded, turning back to the twins, "you two are about to learn what happens to wrongdoers in my school."

"You know what?" The other of the twins spoke up, "I don't think we are. I think we've outgrown full time education. I think we need to broadcast our talents in the real world."

"Accio brooms!" Both twins cried at the same time, resulting in two old cleensweep brooms shooting towards them at a laughably slow speed. Adeline would have made a sarcastic remark about the age of the brooms if not for the situation.

"We won't be seeing you around," they called to Umbridge, "don't stay in touch!"

"If anyone wants to buy a portable swamp as demonstrated in the entrance corridor, come to number ninety-three Diagon Ally! Weasley's Wizard Wheezes'!" One of the twins yelled.

"Special discount to any Hogwarts students who uses our products on that old bat!" The other yelled, pointing at a beet red Umbridge.

"Stop them!" Umbridge yelled with rage, pulling out her wand, the rest of the Inquisitorial Squad following suit, shooting spells at the Weasley twins who were doing loops in the air.

"You won't catch us!" They yelled, flying around.

"For Merlin's sake!" Adeline screamed, pushing a first year out of the way, "Immobulous!" However, her spell was fired to late and the Weasley twins soared out of sight.

""Everybody be quiet!" Umbridge screeched, trying to regain order as the crowd cheered wildly for the twins.

"Silencio!" Adeline casted, and immediately the crowd fell silent.

"Thank you for that, Miss Charm," Umbridge thanked the teen, who only nodded wordlessly back, concealing her wand back into her robes, "now, everyone go back to your lessons. If me or any of the Inquisitorial Squad catch anyone talking about what has just occurred, you will be on detention for a month."

The students of Hogwarts just whispered between them as they nodded in compliance, scattering as they headed off towards their first lesson of the day.
