The Heir of Slytherin- Harry Potter (Male Reader)

1.8 Duelling Club

It was Sunday and Y/N, Blaise and Draco where sitting in their dorm when suddenly an exhausted Theodor Nott entered the room. Seems like he was running cause his forehead was sweaty and he held his sides and gasped for air. "There ... has been ... another... attack" "Woah, Theodor just calm down and take a seat," said Y/N and motioned to an armchair.

He sat down and gasped for a few moments until he calmed down.

"There has been another attack. The Chamber has been opened again. A Gryffindor first year is in the hospital wing" "Is he also petrified like this cat?" Blaise asked.

"I guess so. Why else would they take him to the hospital wing?" Theodor replied and shrugged. Y/N furrowed his brows and looked at Draco who has been surprisingly quiet about the news. A small smirk on his lips.

The news that Collin Creevey has been attacked and was now lying as though dead in the hospital wing had spread through the entire school by Monday morning. The air was suddenly thick with rumours and suspicion.

Two weeks passed since and many students were now moving around in groups. "As if they walking in groups would stop a monster attacking them" sighed Y/N one day when a group of first-year Gryffindors rushed through the corridor. "Some of them are probably even pure or half-bloods and just too stupid Like Longbottom he bought like a dozen of weird stuff what he thought would protect him" Blaise started laughing.

"Come on I don't want to be late for Potions" Y/N responded, "Blaise, are you staying over the holidays?" "Nah, I'll head back home. Mum wants me to introduce me to her new boyfriend" he sighed. Y/N knew about the rumours about Blaise's mum and the stuff that happened around her with her husbands but he didn't really care. "Are you staying, Y/N?" "Yes, Mary is very busy with her work. I think she is heading for a business trip. But I've heard that the feast is great so I am not complaining. Draco is staying too so I have at least some company" Blaise only nodded in response and patted his back.

Y/N and Blaise arrived in the dungeons where the lessons took place. Apparently, they were the last one. Gladly Snape is very generous when it comes to Slytherins. Students from every other house would have gotten a detention. There were only two seats left in the back of the class where Blaise and Y/N sat down.

Today they had to do a swelling solution. The lessons proceeded the usual way. Twenty cauldrons stood steaming between the wooden desks, on which stood brass scales and jars of ingredients. Snape prowled through the fumes, making waspish remarks about the Gryffindors work.

Y/N got along well, he was well in time and had to let his solution simmer and used his time to watch his classmates. He watched how Draco flicked pufferfish eyes at Ron and Harry. Ron's head went redder with every puffer fish eye that flew in his direction.

Y/N was just about to draw Blaise's attention to Draco when he saw a barely noticeable nod from Hermione whereupon Harry disappeared under the table. When he reappeared, everything went very quickly. Harry threw a small hissing. It landed directly in Goyle's cauldron. His potion exploded, showering the surrounding students. Y/N and Blaise which were sitting at the back of the classroom were spared the splashes of the potion and could enjoy the spectacle to the fullest.

People shrieked as splashes of the Swelling Solution hit them. Draco got a faceful and his nose began to swell like a balloon. Goyle blundered around, his hands over his eyes, which had expanded to the size of dinner plates, while Snape was trying to restore calm and find out what had happened.

Y/N looked through the class to see who was affected. Surprisingly Hermione was nowhere to be seen.

"Silence! SILENCE!" Snape roared "Anyone who has been splashed, come here for a Deflating Draught. When I find out who did this ..."
