The Killing Curse!

Chapter 2 - Confrontations with Malfoy

A/N please bare with me with the updates I will try and get them posted when I can but things are hectic at the moment.

I know that is isn't exactly how the first year went but i'm putting my own Spin on it and i don't want to copy the amazing work that J.K Rowling worked hard on.

-------------------------
So that's my first year banquet experience over with and all the empty plates disappeared just a quickly as they appeared a few hours ago. We was all ushered out of the great hall and told to follow head boy for our house. I never actually realised how big this place was until I had to try and keep up with everyone else and that's a struggle when you are only 5"4. We eventually arrived at a doorway that lead to the staircases but these weren't no ordinary stairs that you'd find at home, oh no, these moved and randomly apparently which will be fun. Just as I was about to follow my housemates I heard my name being called, I whipped round to find the origin of the voice only to find that it was Malfoy " what do you want Malfoy, I'm trying to get to my dorms" his quick smart mouth replied with " of course a blood traitor like you would be placed into Gryffindor, you half bloods and muggles have no place at this school". My blood started to boil when he said this, I was so close to lunging at him but Regan grabbed my arm signalling that it wasn't worth it " i really don't know who the hell you think you are Malfoy but you have no say in who and who can't attend this school, so what, yeah I'm half blood but I'm still going to be working just as hard as a pure blood to be the best witch that I can be so If you'd kindly shut your mouth and move along". I didn't even give him a chance to speak again. We managed to just catch up with the rest of the first years just in time to hear the password that will gain us access into our dormitories. "Caput Draconis, remember this because it will be your only way through the passage". That defiantly isn't going to be hard to remember, i may have to write that down otherwise i'll have to keep asking someone for it all the time. I'm so angry due to what just happened with Malfoy that i don't actually think i'm really paying attention anyway. We was next showed around our living quarters that will be our for the next 7 years, looks likes me and Reegs will be sharing a room along with Hermione because all our animals were in their cages next to the beds. I really could do with sleeping right now especially after the long journey up here, Malfoy being himself and we have classes tomorrow. I have never jumped into my PJ's and into bed so quickly before, i can already sense that this year is going to be a long one going by how today went it will only get worse. As soon as my head hit the pillow -after i unpacked everything of course- i was out like a light.

I woke up the next morning felling refreshed and unstressed ready for the day ahead,made sure Regan and Hermione was up, we jumped into the showers, got dressed and headed down to the great hall for breakfast. I can't work on a empty stomach and defiantly wouldn't be able to face Malfoy on a empty stomach. We walked down the mass amounts of stairs nearly getting taken in a different direction. When we arrived the hall was buzzing with people and people tucking into food. Regan and I sat down at the Gryffindor table and started tucking into all the food i could handle. Once we had eaten it was time to make our way to our first lesson which was Herbology I was really excited this is one of the classes i'm most looking forward to along with Transfiguration . I think you all know what Herbology Lesson is about and if you don't I'm not really sure why you are reading my story.   

1 and a half hours later Herbology had finished, Neville fainted all because he wasn't wearing his earmuffs properly while re potting the mandrake roots and their screams can be lethal. Our next lesson was Potions with Slytherin -yaaaaayy!! luckily for me I had Regan, Hermione Harry and Ron with me, I'm sure one of them will stop me from getting into trouble. We trudged our way across the castle hoping to make it to class in time because I've heard rumours that the Potions teacher is mean and strict. We has arrived in time as Students were still standing outside the Classroom waiting for Professor Snape to arrive, which as if magic he heard me and appeared from around the corner. We all took our seats and of course I chose to sit next to Regan as well one she is my best friend and two- we work well off each other meaning we will be getting good grades. Professor Snape was Dark,Mysterious,Cold and I didn't catch a good vibe from him but i have heard that he is a really good teacher despite all of this. "Ok Class, The First Potion we will  be learning this year is the Draught of Living Death can anyone tell me what this does" Professor Snape said. Both mine and Hermiones hands shot up, Snape pointed at me " yes, Udall is it? Go on", I was excited to prove to him i was going to be a good student "The Draught of Living Deathis is a very powerful sleeping potion that can be made by adding powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of WormWood". "Correct, well done Lindsey, 5 points to Gryffindor" I had a huge smile on my face and continued to makes notes in my notebook. Of course Malfoy had something to say about this "look at you miss I know everything, trying to make us all look stupid, you filthy Blood traitor, you don't belong at this school". I heard this being whispered behind me, My head shot round to see that annoying Smirk on his face that i would happily wipe off with a smack but i refrained myself along with a little help from Regan. I turned back round to face the front and continued taking notes to what was being said by Professor Snape. After that the lesson went really quickly which i'm grateful for.  The day went by pretty quickly we had lunch and before i knew it was our first flying lesson with Madam Hooch. I was so excited that i'll actually be able to fly a broomstick soon. Again this lesson was with Slytherin, I'm already getting tired of doing my lessons with them. Anyway lets get onto the lesson. Madam Hooch clears her throat catching our attentions, she then went onto say "Summoning the broom- Before any pupil is allowed to take off on a broomstick, they must first familiarise themselves with the one handed to them, the first step of which involved summoning the broom without touching it. To this end, the students will have to position themselves on the left side of it, reach out with their right hand and say, "with feeling" the word "Up!". If successful, the broom should jump up to their hand".  Once we was done Listening to the instructions we went over to the brooms that where laid out on the floor for us. we stood the the left and waited for Madam Hooch to give us the go ahead. It took a few attempts for me to be able to get the broom into my hand but eventually it worked. Once everyone had a broom in their hands it was onto the next step which is to mount the broom. This was the easiest step to flying a broomstick, again once everyone was mounted on the brooms it was time for the last step which is practising liftoff and landing its all about controlling the broom in a way that makes it easy to fly. I'd managed to safety lift off and land my broom, Neville on the other hand didn't have such a great time he couldn't control the broom meaning he went for a uncontrolled fly around the castle ground ending with him falling to the ground and breaking his wrist. Madam Hooch had to take him to the hospital wing meaning that we all had to stand and wait for her to come back and any of us that where caught mounted or flying the broomsticks will be in big trouble. A few moments after Madam Hooch and Neville had disappeared, Malfoy had found Nevilles Remembrall [-A Remembrall is a  large marble-sized glass ball that contains smoke which turns red when its owner or user has forgotten something. It turns clear once whatever was forgotten is remembered. -] lying on the floor and started playing around with it. Harry and myself both lost it and headed straight got Malfoy "give it to me Malfoy, it doesn't belong to you it's Nevilles" Harry exclaimed "watch it Potter, no one asked you to talk" Malfoy smugly replied. I have now fully lost my rag with him " listen here,I am so done with you and your attitude towards me and my friends, give me the Remembrall and move on". Dracos reply got under my skin "if you want it so badly catch me" and with that said he headed straight towards a broom summoned it and was off , i didn't waste anytime in going after him as i did the same grabbed a broom and was off. I didn't even wait around to listen to anyone telling me how much of a bad idea this was. I was soon behind Malfoy when i feel a presence next to me and when i take a quick glance it was Harry. We was Zip zapping around the castle  grounds trying to gain on Draco but it was no use. The chase eventually came to an end when Professor Mcgonagall demanded that the three of us immediately got both feet back on the ground. Once we did we was given a massive speech on how irresponsible and dangerous what we have just done was. We was given a Detention and was told that both me and Harry had  to report to Her after lesson had finished. I wonder what that will be about. I snatched the remembrall off Malfoy and returned back to my space next to Regan and Hermione only to have them both scowl at me.
