Consequences [D.M]

CHAPTER 2

After been hours on the train, they finally arrived at Hogwarts. They get off from the train together and ahead to the carriage which will takes them to Hogwarts later until a blonde haired boy followed by his two goons and spoke harshly.

"I'm surprised the Ministry's still letting you walk around free, Potter. Better enjoy while you can. I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name on it." He spits out at Harry as he leapt at the blonde and Ron quickly stopped him.

"What'd I tell you? Complete nutter." the blonde muttered, walking away from them.

"Just stay away from me!"

Harry yelled angrily. "It's only a Malfoy. What'd you expect?" Ron asked, letting go of Harry slowly. The girls stay in silent as Harry walked away from the three as they exchanged looks of worry. "What is wrong with him? I mean, he's being so quiet since I met you guys in the train." Y/n questioned, furrowing her eyebrow. "We don't know either." Ron shrugged and they continue their walks behind Harry.

The four of them stopped, watching a carriage just leaving and Y/n could see a Chinese looking girl is smiling at Harry. The four stood there silently until someone came after them.

"Hi guys." The newcomer greets them. "Hey, Neville." The trio greets in unison but Y/n stays in silent and Harry turns to the new carriage. "What is it?" he asked looking behind them. "What is what?" Ron questioned him. "That. Pulling the carriage." Harry replied like it was obvious. "Nothing's pulling the carriage, Harry. It's pulling itself like always." Hermione informed. Harry stepped around what looked like nothing for them.

"What is he looking at?" Y/n asks. "I don't know. I saw nothing." Ron shrugged. "You're not going mad. I can see them too." A girl with dreamy voice says as she's already in the carriage, reading something.

"You're just as sane as I am."

She says. "Everyone this is Loony Loveg-" Hermione stopped as the five of them sat down in the carriage. "Luna Lovegood." She says, correcting the name. There was a silence between them. "An interesting necklace." Y/n tried to break out the silence.

"It's a charm actually, keeping away from nargles." She informed as they looked at each other. "Hungry? I hope there's pudding." The carriage began to pull itself as Y/n whisper at Hermione. "What's nargle?" she asked. "No idea." Hermione shook her head. For the rest of the carriage ride it was a complete silent.

                         - Great Hall -

They sat together at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Y/n is a Gryffindor before so there's no need to be sorted her back. She's wearing her newly made Gryffindor robes. The tables were filled with many kind of foods. Harry had been getting looks from students and he didn't say anything but it was obviously affecting him. Y/n has been greeted by few students who still recognize her and welcome her back.

"Good evening children!" Dumbledore greets. "Now, we have two changes in staffing this year. We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-plank who'll be taking Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave. We also wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Umbridge. And I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the professor good luck. As usual our caretaker Mr Filch has asked me to remind you-" Dumbledore was cut off by Umbridge, faking cough. She was dressed head to toe in pink. She got up  and walked up to the stand nonchalantly.

"I don't like her. Seriously. I swear."

Y/n rolled her eyes. "Y/n, cut off your bad first impression." Hermione advice. "No, really.  You will hate her too. My first impression is always right you know." She blurted out. Hermione glares at her friend to stop. "She was at my hearing, she works for Fudge." Harry whispered. "What hearing?" Y/n questioned but Harry ignore her question.

'What the hell this Harry Potter is playing at me?' she sighed.

"Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends." She spoke as Y/n could hear is a very annoying voice.

"That's likely." The Weasley's twin whispered in unison.

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited." She ended her speech with a small giggle and walked to her seat. The students seem to be clueless by her words and are in a complete silence.

"Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating." Dumbledore exclaims. "Illuminating? What a load of waffle. What's does it mean?" Harry looks at Hermione. "It means the Ministry's interfering at Hogwarts." Hermione exclaims. "Why?" Y/n asks, looking at Harry and once again her questions is being ignored which annoyed her the most. As soon as the feast ended, she walked on her own, made her way back to the common room.

"I never thought that you would be back, Laurel."

Her pace are being stopped by that voice by the corridor. "What do you want?" she crossed her arms, rolling eyes.

"A greeting from you, perhaps?" the blonde approached her.

"We're never in a good atmosphere, Malfoy. So, don't expect anything from me." Y/n scoffed.

"Surprisingly, you still remember me." he smirks.

"Surprisingly, yes I am. Ferret." She grins playfully as his eyes widened.

'Merlin beard, how on earth did she know about it?' he asks himself in disbelief.

Well, she knows from the two who are telling her that a professor turns him into a ferret last year.

"Lost your words, ferret boy? Did Mrs Norris steal your tongue?" she teased as he looks at her, looking mad.

No one has got him speechless. Ever. He does not know what to reply. Y/n smiles in victory and quickly made her way to the Gryffindor common room where there is only a few students are in there. She made her way to her room and prepare herself to get a good night sleep.
