The Daughter Of Snape

Chapter six: Divination Class

I sit at the Slytherin table for breakfast. Today I have Divination for the first time. I've heard stories about the teacher, she would be crazy. After breakfast we walk to the Divination classroom. We're late so most of the students have already chosen a seat in the classroom. Nicola and Alexia walk to their fixed spot. I am being held back, "Welcome Zara, I am Professor Trelawney. Good to have you in my class", she says, holding my hand. "Thank you", I try to loosen my hand and walk to my girlfriends, but she holds me. "You can sit next to Mister Malfoy", she points out the empty spot next to Draco.

"Fine", I sigh and sit down next to Draco. This lady is indeed crazy and so chaotic. I can barely follow the lesson, she is so busy. "This class is ridiculous", Draco whispers. "I know, she is a Ravenclaw, I didn't expected anything else", I respond. Draco laughs. "Sorry from yesterday, I was just frustrated. I didn't mean it, at least about your father, he's moody, but you're not" he whispers, but clearly too loud. "Mister Malfoy, what did you say?", Professor Trelawney asks. "He said he wanted to volunteer, Professor", I respond to her. "No, I do-", he stutters. "Amazing Draco, come forward", she says. "Yes, Draco, show us", I laugh. He gives me an angry look. 

I walk out of the classroom. That was so fun, a little revenge on Draco. After what he did last night, even though he said sorry for it, I think it was appropriate... and funny too. I think this is the way to approach Draco. Not too serious and with a touch of arrogance, just like him. 

Later that day when there are no classes anymore. 

I walk through the hall and see my father walking down the hallway from the other side. "Zara, can you walk with me?", he asks, a little irritated. "Yes, of course father", I respond. "What did I say about boys? No boyfriends!", he says with a stern look. "I know father, I don't have a boyfriend!", I respond to him. "Than why did Professor Trelawney came up to me to tell how cute it was the way Draco looked at you? Can you explain that?", he looks at me penetratingly. "Draco?! Professor Trelawney is crazy. Last night me and Draco had a fight. He is absolutely not my boyfriend", I say a little frustrated. "I hope you're not lying to me. You stay away from Malfoy, you understand me", he says. "Yes, father", I respond and walk back to my dorm.
