Second, Thank you to all of those who are reading this story.
Now... onto the disclaimer...
Disclaimer; I don't own Harry Potter, all I own is Cindy and Kial, and any other OC and spell that doesn't appear in the books or movies.
Draco Malfoy's POV
"NO!" Cindy and I shouted at Kial as we walked through the wall.
"Why not?!" He complained as we got to the other side.
"Because we..." My voice trailed off as I noticed some posters hanging on some of the other brick post.
"Oh no..." Cindy ran over to one of them and snatched it up, "This is bad... this is REALLY, REALLY bad!"
"What is it?" I frowned and walked over to her as did Kial after he gave our trunks to a Train worker.
"Sirius Black." They whispered and stared at the image of the man.
"What about him?" I frowned and took the paper from Cindy's hand.
"He was convicted and sent to Azkaban for being thought..." Kial looked around for a second, "For being thought to have had connection to You-Know-Who and being the reason Lilly and James Potter are dead."
"WHAT?!" I shouted before they slapped their hands over my mouth.
"Keep it down!" They snapped before we walked onto the Train.
"I'm just saying..." I held up my hands as we walked into our usual compartment and they removed their hands.
"That's the point." Cindy sighed, "You need to stop saying things before something happens... trust me that can get you close to killed."
"I... I know." I sighed.
The Train started moving but Cindy kept looking out the window, "Kial... got any good memories?"
"Dementors on their way?" He guessed.
"I'd say we got ten minutes before we hear Harry's scream of pain." Cin rephrased.
Kial sighed before looking out the window, "Fifth grade school dance."
"I punched you in the gut."
"Before that!"
Cindy sighed then started thinking, "Nope. Don't remember anything other than that."
"What about it?" I asked.
"I had danced with this girl... Emma Trendily. She had the most beautiful dark chocolate brown hair and brown eyes..." He started murmuring the rest.
Cindy kicked his shin, "My eleventh Birthday that was the best day for me."
"Of course it is." Kial rolled his eyes while I simply smirked.
They looked over at me, "What about you?"
I bit my lip and glanced over at Cindy, who looked even cuter than when we left
Hogwarts at the end of the last Term. Her hair had gotten a little more curved and her eyes showed some sort of gold shading in them. Not that I could ever tell her that. She's a great friend... but I could never tell her what I feel now.
"Uh... it's hard to say." I shrugged instead.
Cindy looked out the window as it started to frost over. We instantly got to our feet and pulled out our wands.
The second I did, however, I started hearing angry yelling. I fell back against one of the compartment in fright. "Guys... do you... do you hear something?"
Kial fell against the other, "I... I do..."
"No... no... I am not afraid!" Cindy held her footing albeit a little scared, "I am strong... I... I'm not afraid." Even as she said that she started moving back and grabbing her head. I was about to call out to her when the yelling got even louder. I gripped my head, feeling a lot of pain. Then there was a flash of bright light and suddenly, the yelling stopped.
"You guys okay?" I breathed heavily as we slowly got to our feet.
"I have the worst headache... but I'm good." Kial nodded.
Cindy on the other-hand was pale and looked really queasy.
"You okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Here." Kial handed her some chocolate from his pocket.
Cindy took it and slowly took a bit, "That... was horrible."
"Are you okay?" I asked again.
"I... I think so." Cindy nodded slowly.
I smiled lightly, "Good."
Kial looked out the door, "I'm gonna go check out Harry."
"I'll-"
"No!" We interrupted Cindy.
"I'll go alone. Better a Gryffindor than a Hufflepuff and Gryffindor." Kial walked out of the compartment without another word.
"And we're alone." I sighed.
Cindy nodded, not saying a word which I didn't let go unnoticed.
"You okay? Honestly." I sat beside her.
She took a shaky breath, "N... no. I... I heard something... and saw something... er... nothing actually."
"What did you hear?" I frowned.
Cindy bit her lip, "Nothing."
"You didn't hear or see anything?" I frowned.
"I used to be afraid of the dark and being completely alone okay!" My best friend explained sharply.
Biting my lip, I took her hand, "I heard someone yelling angrily at me... My father I guess."
Cindy wouldn't meet my gaze, "I may not have heard or saw what Kial heard and saw... but I know something that it could be..."
"What is it?" I asked without thinking.
Cindy laughed lightly, "Believe it or not... he's afraid of me getting hurt."
I squeezed her hand lightly, "After last Term... I believe it." Cindy smiled lightly before yawning a little and leaning against my shoulder.
I brushed a hand through her hair as I heard her fall asleep. I bit my lip as Kial walked back in, "Anything new on Pot- er... Harry?"
Kial shook his head, "Nope. Same as expected."
"Oh." I nodded before I noticed that I've been petting Cindy's hair and I looked down at her.
"She felt sorry for you." Kial reminded me.
"Yeah... I know." I sighed.
"You ever gonna tell her?" Kial asked out of the blue.
"Pardon?" I frowned.
"Dude. I've seen the way you've look at her this summer." Kial scuffed.
I bit my lip for the fourth time since I got on the train, "I... I know..."
"Then tell her. I'm not gonna stop you." My Gryffindor friend assured.
"That's not... that's not what worries me." I sighed, "I'm afraid she'll reject me."
Kial was silent for a long while but he soon said, "Cindy's smart and kind. But she's also stubborn and really obnoxious at times."
"She is not!" I counted heatedly.
Kial smirked lightly, "Go ahead and say it."
I looked down at Cindy and whispered to Kial, "I like her... a lot Kial."
"More than like. We both know this."
I looked up at him and sighed, "Alright fine... I... I love her. I love Cindy Hiolna."
Cindy Hiolna's POV
1 and a half hours later...
I groaned as Draco shook me awake, "Five more minutes guys..."
"Want me to douse you in water?" Kial chuckled and that woke me up.
"Not funny!" I complained as I grabbed my bag, "How much longer?"
"About a half hour. So get going." Kial answered.
I sighed before I walked out of the compartment and to the bathroom.
As I was walking there the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end and I took a wild guess, "Buzz off Parkinson."
Said Slytherin Princess got in front of me, "No. You have no right to talk to me like that or-"
"Blah, blah, blah. Do you honestly think I care? You're a snot nosed brat. And I'd rather you not bother me this year."
"You're friends with my future husband!"
I rolled my eyes, "Maybe you should look for another one. I hear Ron Weasley's available." I smirked at the disgusted look on her face and stepped around her. "Nice talking to ya."
I walked into the bathroom and started changing. I switched the blue jeans I was wearing for my skort and changed my yellow hoodie for my tank-top. I sighed as I looked at my reflection while I put on my robes. "I need to stop my late night reading."
After I stuffed my muggle clothes into my bag I walked out and ran into the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"Hello." I smiled at my favorite Teacher and held out a hand, "Cindy Hiolna. Hufflepuff third year."
"Nice to meet you Miss. Hiolna." Remus Lupin shook my hand, "You seem very cheery... do you have a lot of happy memories?"
I let our hands drop as I pursed my lips, "Um... you're the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher right?"
Lupin smiled, "That'd be correct."
"I advise a Boggart for your first class with the Gryffindors, Slytherins and me." I advised.
Lupin nodded, "Very good idea."
"Um..."
We turned to see Kial walking over to us.
"Mr. Biralion... are you two friends?" Lupin tilted his head a little.
We nodded, "Yeah."
Lupin smiled, "Well then... better not hold you two up. I'll be on my way." With that, he walked away from the two of us.
"What's up?" I looked over at Kial as we walked back to our usual compartment.
"Got anything new?" Kial glanced at me.
I shrugged, "I advised Lupin to get a Boggart."
"Next time do the opposite. And tell someone NOT to get something that could scare me half to death!"
I simply shrugged, "Depends on what scares you." I was NOT going to tell him about what the Dementor made me see... there's no way!
"Still!" He complained as we got to our Compartment.
"Still what?" Draco asked as we sat down.
"Cindy advised the new D.A.D.A. teacher to use a Boggart for the first class." Kial answered.
"They use your worst fears against you!" Draco protested.
I rolled my eyes, "Exactly why I want it to be the first thing he teaches."
"CIN!" They complained angrily.
I sighed, "Relax."
"But!"
"Boys! It's not something to worry about!" I snapped angrily.
1 hour later...
We were about to walk into the Great Hall with the other third Years when Sprout motioned for me to follow her.
I sighed and nodded, "I'll be right back."
Draco frowned as Snape motioned for him to come too, "Looks like I have to follow."
I raised a brow as we walked over to Professor Sprouts office.
"You wanted to see us Professors?" We asked them the second we stepped in.
"Sit down, dearies. We have something we wish to discuss." My head of House smiled at us.
"Which is?" We frowned as we sat down.
Sprout started, "You both are wishing for a Time-Turner?"
I gulped, "Um... I took up a lot of extra classes..."
"And I might have followed her example..." Draco bit his lip.
"We are not upset." Snape drawled as Professor Sprout put down one Time-Turner, "We are, however, at a loss. We only have one extra time-turner."
I bit my lip, "I can go without one or two classes..."
"Didn't you chose all of-" I stepped on Draco's foot getting him to be quiet.
"The point for you two being here at this moment, Miss. Hiolna, is not so you can rid of classes. But rather the reason you want the time-turners to begin with."
I looked over at Draco who looked really sheepish, "Draco...?!"
"You never let me see your things so I can't say-" I twisted my foot on his own.
"Now, now... no need to worry, Miss. Hiolna." Sprout assured and showed me a different necklace with a pocket watch within it, "This is for you."
I quickly put this version of a Time-Turner on and Draco snatched up the other.
"Thank you Professors." We nodded and quickly walked out.
"Keep walking and we may just make it before-" My sentence was cut short by the Great Hall opening up.
"I'll see you later." Draco decided as he walked over to the Slytherins.
"Right." I sighed and walked over to the Hufflepuffs.
"There you are." Cedric smiled at me.
"Here I am." I stuffed the time-turner under my shirt.
After we got into the Common Room and the first and Second years were in their Dorms, I sat on the chair closest to the fire.
"Hey." I turned to see Adam walking over to me.
"Hey." I smiled weakly.
"I take it you heard of the escape?" Adam guessed as he sat beside me.
I scuffed, "Yeah."
The seventh year boy put a hand on my shoulder, "I'm sure you'll be fine."
"I hope you're right." I sighed as I watched the fire crackle.
The next morning...
"Draco whatever you do... whatever animal Hagrid teaches us... do NOT do anything you KNOW you'll regret." Kial and I hissed to our Slytherin friend as we walked to Hagrid's Hut with everyone else that's taking Care for Magical Creatures.
"Whatever would I do that for?" Draco rolled his eyes, "The man shouldn't even-"
"Don't start." We glared at him.
"Just saying." He murmured as we finally got to the Hut where Hagrid was motioning for everyone to come closer.
"That's it everyone, come closer. Come closer." Hagrid instructed as we got up to him.
"Hi Hagrid." Kial and I waved at the Half-Giant as we got closer to him.
Hagrid smiled and nodded silently, "I've got a real treat for you all today. A great lesson. So follow me."
With that we started to walk a little ways into the Forest.
Well... I may have been a wee bit too excited to 'Walk' per-say...
"Cin stop skipping." Kial whispered to me. I shrugged not really caring as we got closer to the Hippogriffs.
"Alright all of you... less chattering." Hagrid called out, "Form a group over there and open your books to page 49."
"How exactly do we do that?" Draco asked annoyed as we walked over to where Hagrid had pointed.
I smirked, "Just stroke the spine of course."
Hagrid smiled, "Right you are Cindy. Just Stroke the spine and you'll be alright."
I smiled giddily as we did as instructed. I however did wince when Neville fell on his back as the Book tried to bite him.
"Don't be such a wimp Longbottom." One of the Slytherins (Blaise, not Draco) scuffed.
I gripped his hand and pulled him to his feet, "You okay mate?"
"I'm okay... I'm okay." The book nod at him again and we were both forced to the ground.
I giggled softly before I put a foot on his book, "Now stroke the spine." With that, Neville did as I suggested and rubbed a hand on the spine of the book.
"Thanks Cindy." He smiled as we got to our feet again.
"No problem." I smiled back before I picked our books off the ground and handed him his.
He quickly headed back to the other Gryffindors and I got into step with Kial and Draco again, both of whom glared at me the second I did. I rolled my eyes and ignored them.
"I think they're funny." I heard Hermione tell Harry and Ron.
"Oh yeah, terribly funny." Draco scuffed.
"Draco don't!" Kial and I hissed to him, but he continued.
"And really witty." Draco added.
"Draco stop!" We snarled.
"God this place had gone to the dogs." He still continued.
"Draco!" I held my book up.
"Wait until my father hears that Dumbledore's got this oaf teach-" Draco looked over at me, became frightened from where I had my book by his head and didn't finish.
"Keep saying things like that about one of my favorite teachers and that'll never happen." I hissed as I moved the book away and Harry walked over to us.
"Shut up Malfoy."
"Kial..." I glanced at my long time friend.
He nodded and started pulling Harry away quickly, "I'm sure he didn't actually mean it."
"Sure I-" I stepped on Draco's foot, "Ow!"
"Shut UP Draco!" I hissed angrily.
Draco was about to say something to me when I twisted my foot on his and he didn't say a word.
"Okay... well that happened." Hagrid walked through the crowed.
Kial Biralion's POV
"Couldn't agree more." I murmured as I pushed Harry back to the others and walked back to Cindy and Draco.
"Buckbeak..." Cindy and I watched as the Hippogriffs were pulled out.
"Oh great-"
"Don't start again Draco." We hissed.
When it came time for someone to ride the Hippogriffs Cindy all but jumped at the chance.
"Very well... Cindy go ahead." Hagrid sighed.
"Thank you." She smiled giddily.
I shook my head slightly chuckling, "Here we go."
Cindy walked up to Buckbeak, bowed while keeping eye-contact, waited for him to bow back, slowly walked up to him while still keeping eye-contact and held a hand out. Which Buckbeak walked up and brushed his head on.
I let out a small sigh of relief as did Draco.
"If that blood monster hurts her..." Draco softly let his threat hang in the air.
Cindy got on the Hippogriff and within seconds started flying through the air.
"Wahoo!" Cindy called out, smiling and laughing as she flew across the Black Lake on his back.
"I don't think you need to worry about that Draco." I smirked as Buckbeak landed with Cindy safe and intact.
However... I did see a small nip on her hand, he must've accidentally bitten her when he moved his head over her hand.
"That bloody..." I held Draco back.
"It was probably an accident." I insisted.
"Accident or no..." Draco pulled out of my grip and Cindy walked over to us.
"Draco don't!" But Draco did. He walked right past her and up to Buckbeak.
Cindy and I slapped our hands over each other's mouths but I know we both were thinking the same thing.
'Draco Malfoy is never gonna be forgiven.'
3 hours later... Hospital Wing
"I don't understand why I should be in here." Cindy had her arms folded and wasn't looking at Draco.
"Nor do I." I sighed. Looks like I was gonna have to be the voice of reasoning.
"He bit you! He deserves-" Cindy stormed out of the Hospital Wing not wanting to hear any more of Draco's excuse.
I looked at my enchanted watch and nodded impressed, "Ten minutes... wow... she lasted longer than I expected."
"Kial!" Draco complained.
"You shouldn't have done such a stupid thing." I informed him.
"That thing-"
"Is now gonna die! All because you just had to ignore Hagrid's warning!" I interrupted, "Cindy loves that Hippogriff man! She may have gotten bitten, but didn't you see her smiling and laughing before she got off?!"
Draco opened his mouth but I turned and left before he could say anything.
Alright.. first of the Third year...
