Malfoy Neighbors

How Could She?- Year 5 Chaper 27

The next few days went by slowly. Your classes seemed to be more intense then before, and for some reason, your niffler was always at your side. It got so bad, that you had to lock him in your dorm room during class time.

"(Y/n)?" Draco whispered, one evening, after dinner. "Is (n/n) still in your dorm?"

"Oh, yeah he is." You said taking off to your dorm room. You let him out and he took off. He was probably going to go see Draco. You headed out to the courtyard. Draco was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree. (N/n) was sleeping, soundly on Draco's lap. The two of them were so cute together. You smiled and sat down next to Draco, who wrapped his arm around you and pulled you into him. You layed your head on his shoulder.

"This is nice." You whispered quietly. Draco nodded.

"What is that?" You heard Umbridge say from behind you. You sat up and looked at her.

"A niffler." You said, as if she should know.

"I know what it is." She replied, annoyed.

'Then why did you ask?' You thought but said nothing.

"What is it doing here?" Umbridge said authoritatively, "nifflers are sneaky and mischievous creatures, and should not be in the school."

'He's not in the school, he's outside with us.' You said in your head. You and Draco both stood up.

"(N/n) is not a typical niffler!" You said defensively.

"So, he is your pet?" Umbridge asked.

"Yes!" You said, standing your ground. (N/n) hid behind you.

"The only pets a students may have at this school is an owl, a toad, or a cat..." Umbridge started.

"Professor Dumbledore has approved him!" You said, interrupting her.

"He is a dangerous creature, miss (l/n)." You didn't like were this was going. "I will have to compensate him." You looked back to get help from Draco and found that he was gone. You tuned back to Umbridge.

"And what right do you have to take away my pet?!" You asked.

"I am the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts." She said softly but still assertive.

"Well, there isnt anything in your role that gives you the power to remove a pet from a student." You said, tapping you shoulder. (N/n) jumped up there and you strode off. The next morning you found that (n/n) had been taken away anyways. You walked into Umbridge's office.

"We is my niffler?" You demanded to know.

"He is gone. Miss (l/n)," Umbridge said. "I have removed the dangerous creature from the school."

"You are the worst teacher!" You said and left her office as the door slammed behind you. You thought for sure she was going to come after you. When she didn't, you knew it was going to be worse when you saw her again. You went to find Draco. He was in the courtyard with Crabbe and Goyle. You marched right up to them. Crabbe and Goyle must have known that your were upset because they asked what was wrong.

"She took him." You said half pissed off and half sobbing.

"Who ook who?" Crabbe asked. You looked at Draco. "Umbridge took him!" You said. "That jerk removed our niffler!" You said flinging your arms around Draco's neck.

"Calm down." Draco said. "I'm sure she sent him to the Ministry." You looked at him confused. "He would most likely have been sent to The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures." You stepped back from him, remembering that he disappeared that evening before.
