Harry's Pov

I was jerked awake by another nightmare. I was soaked in sweat ,my hands felt like they were pulsing adrenaline rushing through me.
"You okay mate" Ron whispered. I nodded. Ever since... Cedric.. I've been having vivid nightmares... I walked over and sat on Ron's bed, we talked in whispers for a while until we heard a scream.
It was barely audible. My heart dropped to my toes.'Voldemort' Ron And I leapt out of bed, running out our rooms and down the stairs to retrieve Hermione. I was grasping my wand.
"Hermione?" Ron whisper yelled, worry evident in his voice. Out came a worried Hermione."Are you okay, Why'd you scream?" Hermione shook her head."it wasn't me... it was Esther" Ron And I both looked at Hermione.
"is she okay...?" I asked. Hermione nodded barely. "She claims it was a nightmare, a one time thing.." I let out a sigh of relief, I was glad it wasn't her. Or Voldemor. Ron and I wish her well and head back towards our rooms, but as we were walking away I heard Hermione say something to Esther.
"It's okay...No ones here."

Esthers Pov:

After a restless night I got up and ready for classes. Hermione treated me like a real friend which I'd never had. She always has since 4th year.
"Esther, hurry we're gonna be late!" Hermione practically dragged me down the stairs."Hermione people will see us." I whisper. We'd never gone to breakfast together, and never ever hand in hand. She glanced at me
"...Yes..? so?"
"Harry, and Ron, they'll know you hang out with... me" I say as if it were a fact. Hermione scoffs."Those Weasel brains wont care, Let's go" We hurried to breakfast, still holding hands.

Harry's Pov :

Ron spit out his pumpkin juice
"Bloody hell mate, Look!" He points behind me. I turn, only to be met with Hermione hand in hand with Esther. I spit my pumpkin juice aswell. I wasn't aware Hermione and Esther were that close.
"She's gone mental" Ron gapes as he pats my back. I watch Esther as she follows my bushy haired friend, Her eyes on her shoes. "Uh, Hi Esther" She looks up at me shocked. I go over what I said in my head, I didn't say anything surprising? She just stared at me. I felt my cheeks heat up and look down. She didn't know me, so she was probably disturbed.

Esther's Pov:
I found myself lost in his emerald eyes.
'He remembers my name..' I smiled. Hermione gasped."What?" Ron hissed jumping back. "Esther you- you smiled" She looked as if she was about to burst with joy. Her eyes slide to Harry, then back to me."Harry made you smile..?" I looked down blush tinging my cheeks, he was very handsome.

Harry's Pov:
I ran after Esther at the end of the day, She was shuffling her books in her hands."Here" I didn't wait for a response and grabbed the books out of her hands."I need to talk to you.... its urgent" She gulped, but nodded."Follow me" I led her to an Isolated corner, Sitting her books down along with myself. She plopped down beside me, a good arms length between us.
"Your fathers Sirius Black."
I watched as a roller coaster of emotions played on her face.
"No he's not." She voiced defensively.
"Yes he is, I've got the proof. Your fathers not a killer, either."
She scoffed." Yeah right. There are witnesses that said he killed people, 13 to be exact. He's a murderer,he killed your parents!" I was taken aback at her sudden knowledge of Sirius. "Wait, have you known he was your father?" I questioned. She nodded, looking guilty
I put my hand on her shoulder impulsively.
"Youve no reason to feel ashamed then. All of those things youve just said aren't true. He was framed. I swear to Merlin." She stared intensely into my eyes, Her pale eyes piercing mine."Really...?" I nodded. I watched as a smile broke out onto her face." Thank you, Harry Potter" She engulfed me in a hug. I was taken aback at how fast she was to believe me, but then I realized that she probably didn't fully. She just wanted too believe that her father was a good man.

We were all dreading classes, since the new professor, Professor Umbridge. She was horrible. "Harry Potter!" I was shook out of my thoughts by the squeaky voice of Umbridge. "Please turn to page 5" I obeyed. Hermione's hand shot up. "Did you want to ask something about the chapter dear?" Umbridge said in her toad like voice
" not about the chapter ,no"
"Well we're reading just now" Said professor Umbridge, Smiling like a toad."if if you have other queries we can deal with them at the end the class"
"I've got a query about your course aims"
Umbridge raised her brows
"And your name is-?"
"Hermione Granger" She said
"Well miss Granger, I think the course aims are perfectly clear if you read them through carefully"Said Umbridge in forced sweetness
" well I don't" Said Hermione frankly.
'Oh godric'
" There's nothing written up there about using defensive spells"
A short silence filled the class.
"Using defensive spells?" Professor repeated with a tiny laugh. "Why, I can't imagine any situation arising in my classroom that would require you to use A defensive spell Miss Granger, you surely aren't expecting to be attacked during this class?" I rolled my eyes
"No magic?!" Ron said rather loudly.
" students raise their hands if they wish to speak in my class Mr.—-?"
"Weasley" Ron raises his hand.
Umbridge was about to lose it. Hermione and I raised our hands aswell.
Proffesor eyes me before calling Hermione
(Imma skip to the good part)

Esther's pov:
I was totally zoned out, thinking about my father.'not a killer...?'

"It's NOT a lie! I saw him! I FOUGHT him!"
I jumped at Harry yelling. Seems I've missed a lot because everyone looked like they wanted to kill Umbridge.
" detention Mr. Potter!"
"Tomorrow evening, my office, 5 o'clock ,I repeat this is a lie ,the ministry of magic guarantees that you are not in danger from any dark wizard, if you are still worried by all means come and see me outside class hours, if someone alarms you with fibs about reborn Dark Wizard's, I would like to hear about it ,I am here to help I am your friend and now you will kindly continue reading page 5 'basics for beginners'"
That women talks a lot.
Harry stands up as the women sits down
"Harry no" Hermione whispered.
"So according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead on his own accord, did he?" He was fuming.

"Cedric Diggorys death was a tragic ACCIDENT" She hissed.
"It was murder" Harry was shaking.
"Voldemort killed him and you know it!"
Umbridge's face was drained of all sweetness as she said,
"Mr Potter, come here dear"
She handed him a roll of parchment.
"Take this to professor McGonagall."

That teacher was the absolute devil.
