Azkaban's Youngest Prisoner

Ch. 3

Chapter 3:

I stare down at my father's cold eyes, unable to tell whether or not I should run up and hug him. I opt to slowly approach him and give a small smile. He surprisingly opens his arms and pulls me in for probably the most awkward hug of my life. He pulls away and looks at me.

"You've certainly grown up a lot since the last time I saw you." I give him a small smile. "You look very different." I awkwardly nod.

"I've missed you guys..." I say.

"Certainly your brother has said the same. I'm sure you are excited to go back to school." He says in a monotone voice.

"Yes, I've missed potions class especially." My parents usher me into the dinning room for some dinner. After dinner and a little conversation, my parents sent me upstairs to get some sleep. After quickly changing and brushing my teeth, I crawl into bed and fall asleep.

*Time skip*

Dumbledore appears at my front door early in the morning. Hagrid was supposed to take me to Hogwarts on his motorcycle, but my father refused to have him take me. Dumbledore was the only person who could apparate me there.

"Hello there Miss Malfoy. Are you ready to go back to Hogwarts?" Dumbledore says in a calm voice.

"More ready than ever." I turn to my parents and give them one last hug. "Bye mom and dad. I'll miss you." They hug me back and Dumbledore holds out his arm. I let go of my parents and grab Dumbledore's arm and apparate away.

*Draco's POV*

I'm sitting in the great hall with Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle for breakfast. I look up and see stupid Potter with that filthy mudblood and dumb Weasley probably whispering about some plot to ruin the year as always. Dumbledore comes in by himself and rushes to the back of the hall, whispering something is Snape's ear. What could they be talking about? Suddenly Dumbledore calls out.

"Attention! Attention students! Yes, I have a quick announcement to make. We have a new student joining us this year. Well, more of a returning student. You may know her as Tessa Malfoy." My eyes widened in surprise. What? She's here already? I swear my father told me she was coming back after Christmas! Students around the hall start clamoring and whispering about my sister.

"Are you mad? She's literally the youngest known prisoner in Azkaban!" some Ravenclaw calls out from the front entrance from the hall.

"That's my sister you git shut it!" I yell. The rest of us turn to Dumbledore as he starts to speak again.

"I can assure you that Miss Malfoy would not be returning back to Hogwarts if it was not allowed." he simply states.

"She was literally a criminal at age twelve! Do you not think she is a threat to other students?" another Gryffindor calls out.

"She's served her time and you have no idea what happened!" I retort.

"She's literally a danger to Hogwarts. We thought Sirius Black escaping was dangerous enough, this might be worse." Ron Weasley whispers to his friends.

"Watch your mouth Weasley, that's my sister you're talking about." I spit out.

"Now, calm down now. Miss Malfoy is surely not a danger to Hogwarts. I must remind you that she is simply a fourteen year old girl and was an excellent student when she was here. I expect you all to welcome her with open arms and treat her with respect." Dumbledore says and then turns around to whisper to the other professors.

"Malfoy!" Blaise calls out. I turn my head to face him. "Is your sister really on her way here?" As if on cue, the doors of the Great Hall swing wide open. I grin as I see standing by the entrance in a confident stance is none other than my older sister, Tessa Malfoy.
