Paige sat next to Remus on the train while Harry, Ron, and Hermione tried to find an empty compartment. Remus pulled his cloak over his head to try and catch a quick nap. Tonks and Paige had kept him up most of the night with their fears.

"They're all full" Harry said as he and the others came back to the compartment. Paige nodded.

"Well at least you had this one to come back to" she said. Harry nodded and plopped back next to his sister while Ron and Hermione sat across from them. Harry made sure Remus was asleep before he told Ron and Hermione about Bellatrix.

"They'll catch her right? I mean before she hurts you?" Hermione asked. Before either of the Potters could comment, the train lurched and stopped, the lights went out. Ron looked outside. The windows froze and Ron's breath could be seen as he leaned to get a closer look.

"There's something moving out there" he said. Harry and Paige exchanged worried looks, Paige already working on trying to wake Remus up. Between the full moon two nights ago and last night, he was dead tired.

"Dad" Paige whispered as a black ghost figure opened the compartment door across from them. "Dad!" she hissed, panicked. Remus opened his eyes.

"Don't. Move" he muttered to the others. Everyone froze as the ghost opened the door. The thing faced Harry and Paige watched as it started sucking in. Remus pulled out his wand and pointed it at the black figure. "Expecto Patronum" he yelled, while a white chameleon shaped mist shot towards the ghost. Harry fell back as it left. Remus kneeled by Harry's side, gently tapping his cheek to wake him up.

"What was that?" Harry muttered as he came back around.

"A dementor, one of the guards of Azkaban. They were checking the train for Bella." Remus broke off four pieces of chocolate and handed a piece to each kid. "Eat," he said to Harry, "it'll help. I need to talk to the conductor. I will be right back. Don't let anyone else in this compartment." Paige nodded as Remus strode towards the front of the train.

"Did you guys hear the woman screaming?" he asked. Everyone shook their heads.

"No one screamed, Harry" Paige said. Harry shook his head and turned his attention to the window. He had heard a woman screaming and Paige believed him, but she hadn't heard it. What was it?

Paige sat watching the singers intently, knowing one of the toads belonged to Neville. He was so proud that he had told her, and then apologized for being silly. She had laughed and said she couldn't wait to see him perform. Paige shot a thumbs up to Neville over the tables, who smiled and blushed.

"First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good luck to you, Professor" Dumbledore said as the singers sat back down. When the others started clapping, Paige stood up, causing Remus to blush. How many more people could she make blush tonight?

"Second, as some of you may know, Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher for many years, has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be filled by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid!" Paige remained standing. Apparently three.

"And finally, on a more disquieting note, Hogwarts - at the request of the Ministry of Magic - will, until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azkaban. The Dementors will be stationed at the entrances to the grounds. While they are under strict orders not to enter the castle itself, you will on occasion see them as you go about your daily activities. Under no circumstances are you to approach them. It is not in the nature of a Dementor to be forgiving." Paige sat down in her chair, Draco eyeing her. "Now, let's enjoy this wonderful feast!" As their plates filled, Draco moved to sit next to Paige, both Remus and Snape eyeing the two.

"So Potter, is it true?" Paige wanted to kill him. Or at least hex him into next Tuesday. Instead she played along.

"Is what true?" Draco leaned closer.

"That Bellatrix Lestrange is out to kill you and your godmother?" Paige stiffened as Draco pulled away. Her lack of response gave him the answer he needed. "Is that right? So you're the reason the dementors are here?"

"It's a precaution, Malfoy. Leave it at that" she muttered, dropping her fork. She wasn't very hungry any more.

"Are you scared?" Paige curled her hands into fists and counted to ten. She couldn't kill Malfoy. Unfortunately. Remus would have to answer for her then and he needed this job. He wanted this job. Draco laughed as Crabbe and Goyle sat opposite her. "She's scared of Bellatrix! Can you believe it? Little ole Paige is scared of my Aunt Bella. I bet Nymphadora is too."

"Shut up Malfoy!" she yelled. She was losing her temper and it was only her first night here. Why did the sorting hat hate her so?

"So she is! Maybe that's because dear sweet Dora is a half-blood metamorphmagus who married a werewolf husband. She deserves what Bellatrix will do to her." Paige tackled Malfoy to the floor, punching him wildly.

"Paige! Paige!" Remus said as he pulled her off.

"Let go! I want to finish him!" she snarled. Remus continued to try and calm her down. She pointed at Malfoy. "He said that Dora deserves whatever Bellatrix does to her." Remus froze, his grip loosening on Paige, but not enough for her to break free.

"Malfoy, go to the hospital. Paige, come on" Remus said. Paige growled at Draco, but followed Remus anyway. He led her to his new office. "What do you think?" he asked. Paige saw the pictures adorning the place. Some of her, some of Harry, some of Tonks, a few of Sirius and a whole bunch of their family. One picture stood out and Paige walked over to it. It was a picture, similar to the one Paige had, of Lily and James kissing.

"Mum and dad" she whispered. Remus nodded.

"But I do admit, I'm very partial to this one." He picked a frame off of his desk and showed it to her. Paige smiled as she saw it was a picture of Remus, Tonks, and herself. "My girls" he said. Paige smiled, tears forming in her eyes.

"I was doing so well, then he attacked Aunt Dora like that and I just lost it." Remus nodded.

"No one blames you. I'm pretty sure I heard Snape mutter something about nice shot as we were rushing to break up the fight." Paige grinned. "Ignore Malfoy. He's trying to get under our skins. I wouldn't be surprised if Lucius or Narcissa knew where Bella was."

"Don't suppose I could bunk with you?" she asked. Remus smiled.

"I talked to Dumbledore about it before hand. He thinks it might be for the best anyway, so you don't kill Malfoy in his sleep or anything." Paige grinned.

"Oh poo, just ruin my evil scheming why don't you?" A laugh sounded from behind them and Paige turned.

"It's what he likes to do. Ruins all my magnificent revenge plans too" Tonks said. Remus laughed as the two hugged each other.

"Did I fail to mention Dora would be staying here with us?"

Paige sat with her head in her hand listening to Professor Trelawney drone on about Divination.

"…cannot be divined from the pages of a book. Books only cloud one's Inner eye."

"What rubbish" Hermione muttered. Paige almost fell off chair in shock.

"Where'd you come from?" Ron asked as the four of them ignored Trelawney. Hermione shrugged.

"I've been here all along" she answered. Paige frowned. No she hadn't. She had just come in, but she certainly hadn't walked in, so how did she get there?

"The first term will be devoted to the reading of tea leaves. If all goes well, we will proceed to palmistry, fire omens, and finally... the crystal ball." Paige was ready for this class to be over. She liked Professor Trelawney, but the woman couldn't seriously believe in tea leaves, could she? "Unfortunately, classes will be disrupted in February by a nasty bout of flu. I myself will lose my voice. And in late spring, one of our number will... leave us forever." Well that answered her question. "Let's begin, shall we?"

"Shall we Hermione?" Paige asked, her laughter bubbling to the surface. Trelawney walked around helping students while Paige looked at the leaves in the bottom of Hermione's cup. "It looks like remnants of tea" Paige sighed. Trelawney stopped by Hermione and Ron's chairs.

"What do you see in their cups dears?" Ron muttered something about Harry being happy about suffering before Hermione froze and handed the cup over. Trelawney gasped and set both cups down.

"What is it Professor?" Neville asked.

"You both have the Grim."

"What's the Grim?" Lavender opened her book and started reading for the class.

"'The Grim taking the form of a giant spectral dog, it is among the darkest omens in our world. It is an omen... of death.'" Paige picked up her cup and the tea leaves shifted until they made a new picture. A picture of Bellatrix Lestrange.

"C'mon now! Get a move on! Got a real treat for yeh. Follow me" Hagrid called out as Paige and the others awaited their lesson. Draco made remarks about Dora and Paige, but both Potter children ignored him. "Ah, Mrs. Lupin, care to join us?" Tonks grinned.

"Don't mind if I do" she said with a wink at Paige and Harry. As they walked into the forest, Paige and Tonks heard a few girls behind them talking.

"Wasn't her hair purple yesterday?" one whispered. Tonks almost laughed, changing her hair from bubblegum pink to a bright blue. The girls stopped whispering, along with everyone else, as they watched her change the color again. Paige and Harry laughed at everyone's shocked expressions.

"Shocked over something I've seen since I was in the cradle" Paige giggled. Tonks laughed.

"Ah yes, but metamorphmagi are rare. It just so happens that I was your godmother. But these poor blokes probably don't even know what I am. Oh, Hagrid! I have another lesson for you!"

"Blimey Tonks, that's brilliant!" Hagrid said, catching on. Paige raised her hand.

"I'm skipping that day" she laughed. Hagrid stopped them and told them to open their books. After stroking the spine as instructed, Paige opened the book, carefully.

"This place is for the dogs, just wait until my father hears Dumbledore let this oaf teach classes" Draco sneered. Paige glared at him.

"Want a broken face to match the nose? If I were you, Malfoy, I'd eat my words" Paige said. Draco laughed and stepped close to her, his nose centimeters from hers. His eyes widened and he stepped back.

"Dementor! Dementor!" Paige and Harry turned to look, but there was nothing there. Draco burst out laughing. Before Paige could go after Malfoy, Hagrid came back with a creature.

"Beautiful, isn't he? His name's Buckbeak" Hagrid said proudly.

"Hagrid," Tonks said. "Does Dumbledore know you have a Hippogriff?" Hagrid nodded.

"Of course he does, now, who wants to come say hello?" Everyone took a step back, except for Paige. "Good girl, Paige!" Paige turned to glare at Harry and Tonks before moving forward slowly. When she was about halfway there, Hagrid stopped her and told her to bow. Buckbeak stared at her a moment before bowing back. "Now go on, give 'im a pat!" Paige slowly walked up to Buckbeak and stroked his face.

"You're sweet" she whispered to him. Hagrid moved forward and picked Paige up setting her on Buckbeak's back.

"Don't pull any feathers out. He won't like that" Hagrid said before swatting Buckbeak on the rump gently. "Off yeh go!" Buckbeak took off running before his wings unfurrowed and they took off in flight. They flew around the castle and the lake before a whistle brought Buckbeak back to Hagrid, who helped Paige off before giving Buckbeak a ferret.

"Wow" Paige muttered as she moved to stand next to Tonks. Draco pushed past his goons and strode towards the Hippogriff purposefully.

"Give me a go at that thing. If Potter can do it, it must be easy. You're not dangerous at all, are you, you great ugly brute…" Draco paused only when Buckbeak reared up, his talons accidentally catching Malfoy's arm. Draco falls to the ground. "It's killed me. It's killed me."

"I wish" Paige muttered under her breath. Tonks elbowed Paige to be silent as she informed Hagrid that Draco had to be taken to the hospital.

"Class dismissed" Hagrid called out as he carried Draco's body to the castle. Paige stood and sighed.

"If only" she whispered as Tonks laughed, the two of them heading back into the castle.

AN: Alright so how did I do? *grins* Of course Paige had to hit Malfoy. It was imperative to her mental well being. At least that's how I'm justifying it! Alright so thanks for reading, review please!
