Tigger warning - mentioned death of animal
MUCH to Moon's distaste, she had met Draco Malfoy and the dementors who were now patrolling the ground. She had only suffered three panic attacks which she kept to herself since she came to school. Trying out for the Beater on the Ravenclaw team but sadly didn't make it. Which she was very mature about it, cursing Roger Davies with the jelly-legs-jinx.
Many students had been introduced to the French girl, though she didn't have a filter, not knowing when to shut her month. Fred and George were always happy to take her prank suggestions and her helpful research to avoid the rules. Neville grew closer to the girl he could lecture for hours about plants with and she wouldn't walk off. Hermione was over the moon to have a study partner who was actually interested though a couple of fights had broken out involving different view on the goblin rebellion.
Moon, Luna and Neville wandered down the hallways playing dodge 'ems as they tried to get to Care of Magical Creature. Moon always enjoyed the class at Beauxbatons though they learnt from books never outside.
"Bloody Malfoy!" Harry spat, as the golden trio rounded the corner, joining the two Ravenclaws and Gryffindor.
"What did he do?" Moon asked, rolling her eyes at her cousin.
"He's been teasing Harry and tripping him up." Ron scolded looking as irritated as Harry.
"I believe he needs to get a life," Hermione commented strutting off (like the queen she is).

"I'm dying." The Slytherin boy screamed as Hagrid carried him to the hospital wing. The Malfoy boy was stupid enough to have insulted the defensive bird landing him with a cut arm. Everyone started to leave half complaining about Hagrid teaching skill and the other trying to defend him. Moon stood staring at the poor hippogriff. She always wanted to have one but Mary-Annie would never allow it.
That took her back to the day she brought her first and only pet home before Tootsie which her Aunt had no idea existed she gave the Chinchilla to Gabrielle to keep over the holidays.
Buttons, such a simple name now that she thought about it, every kid had a pet called Buttons. Buttons was the name of of the rabbit Moon found in her back garden when she was 6, Mackenzie took the small animal to her Aunt who didn't seem to brother by the creature. But when Moon left to grab her doll, she returns to her new rabbit was no where to be seem. Mary-Anne claimed that it was an accident, but Moon never bought that story she knew better than to trust the hag, though sadly and part in her always sought her Aunts approval. Mackenzie hated herself for feeling the need to win Mary over, what had the wicked women ever done for her, she put her through years of t-
"Moon, come on." Ron hurried, grabbing Mackenzie's shoulder and pulling her along. "Like the lesson?"
"Best lesson ever!" She cheered sticking her arms up in the air, trying to keep a happy smile on her face.

Malfoy didn't return to class until Thursday, where he made a dramatic entrance. Forcing people to cut up the ingredients he needed for his potion as he was apparently incapable. Poor Ron spent a quarter of an hour cutting up his root making them perfect only to have to give them up to Draco. Neville was having an even harder time trying to get the potion right. Snape was even cruel enough to try Neville's potion out on Trevor his pet toad. Hermione and Mackenzie were quick to slip the right ingredients in before it was tested on Trevor, saving him from turning purple and growing horribly painful warts or worst dying. The rest of the class left quickly not wanting their pet experimented on.
"Miss Nightshade," Snape called right as she was about to exit. The French slowly made her way towards the scary professor's desk.
"Oui?" She answered nervously.
"It seems Mr Longbottom can't seem to do anything right in this class, as happy as I would be to fail him it would come back on me badly... seeing as you succeeded in making most potions and saving his little toad from death, I would like you to tutor him." Snape somewhat demanded.
"Why not Hermione, she's smarted than me and has more patience?" The brown-haired girl knew when to stop talking and what not to mention.
"Because she takes pride in being a know it all. Will you do it or not?" Snape was seeming to loss his patients but she hoped that if she did help Neville not only would he do better in potions but maybe the Professor would find her more favourable. He seemed to like her more than Hermione and she was the brightest witch in their year.
"Oui, I'll try." Moon quickly answered.
A/N sorry for the boring chapter it gets more exciting in the next.
