Chapter 28-You're Standing Up For Him!

--Draco's Point Of View--

"Draco! Man, wake up!" Blaise yelled in Draco's ear.

"What time is it?" Draco replied rolling over, opening his eyes.

"Five o'clock." Blaise said smirking.

"What! I could have slept another hour!" Draco said sitting up.

"Nah, I'm kidding. It's just now turning six." Blaise laughed.

"Oh, man. You suck, Blaise. I wanted to sleep another hour."

"Draco go up out of the bed, made it and then went to take a shower. He returned several minutes later fully dressed and grabbed his school bag before heading downstairs to meet Blaise.

"The girls not down here yet?" Draco asked Blaise as he sat down, setting his bag down next to Blaise's bag.

"Not yet, Sarah was just down. She said that they were almost ready. And you know what they mean when they say almost. It'll be a half an hour before they come down." Blaise replied.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Draco said laughing.

Draco and Blaise sat quietly waiting for Sarah and Megan to come downstairs so they could go eat and get to class.

"Here they come!" Draco exclaimed as he heard Megan laughing behind the girls dormitory door.

"I'm so tired!" Megan yawned.

"Hey there, beautiful!" Draco said hugging Megan.

"Hey." Megan said, her voice muffled by Draco.

"You seem wide-" Megan yawned and continued her sentence, "Awake."

"I am. I've been sitting here waiting for fifteen minutes, you would think I would be awake."

"I'm hungry!" Sarah replied as she hugged Blaise around the neck/

"Me too." Blaise said in return.

They walked slowly up to the Great Hall from the dungeons so they could eat. They had brought their school bags with them so they could get to class on time instead of having to go back and get their bags.

"Draco? What do you have while we all have Defense Against the Dark Arts Advanced? Because you can't have the Dark Arts while we are in class…unless the teacher can some how teach two classes at once." Megan said looking at her schedule.

"Oh, I have Herbology then and Dark Arts before." Draco said pulling his schedule out of his bag.

"So Blaise and I have all the same classes?" Megan asked.

"Yeah, we do." Blaise replied looking at his schedule.

"That's not fair; you've got all you're classes with my girl! I'm going to be stuck with Pansy like last year most likely." Draco replied sadly.

"Sorry man, it's not like I chose to be in Dark Arts Advanced!" Blaise replied laughing.

They all ate breakfast and then went of to Double Charms together. Professor Flitwick introduced the new students and then they went to work, Megan and Sarah already knew the spell they were learning so they helped Draco and Blaise understand the basics about the spell. "The more you understand about the spell the easier it is to cast is what our teacher always said." Megan said casting the spell at the book in front of her, enlarging the book to twice the size it was before. Before class was over Draco and Blaise had almost gotten the spell down, but still had difficulties with it sometimes.

"Um, I guess I'll see you during Care of Magical Creatures." Megan said to Draco as they walked out of the Charms classroom.

"Yeah. I guess so." Draco said kissing Megan on the cheek before he turned and headed for the Dark Arts class room.

As Draco entered the room he found a seat near the back with Crabbe and Goyle and scanned to the room to see who all was in his class. As he looked around he saw few new faces and then he saw Pansy enter the room. "Just great!" he thought to himself as Pansy got into her normal spot three chairs up and to the one to the right on him. Class went by slowly as the new Professor got to know each students name. Professor Endriss was a kind teacher; she didn't mind that you talked in class as long as you didn't get to loud. She was an old teacher at Beauxbatons Academy; she gave up her job there to come work at Hogwarts. They worked on counter-jinxing and defending ones self. By the time class was over Draco had prevailed at cursing Goyle and had him sent to the Hospital Wing.

"See you all tomorrow!" Professor Endriss said as the bell rang so they could go to their next class.

"Draco!" Megan yelled down the hallway.

"Megan!" Draco said running towards her grabbing her around the waist when they met.

"How has class been?" Draco said kissing Megan tenderly.

"It's been great! How about yours?"

"Like I said, I would be stuck with Pansy. Professor Endriss is pretty cool for a new teacher though." Draco replied.

"Have fun in Herbology, man. She was hard on us today." Blaise said as he and Sarah reached Megan and Draco.

"You call that hard!" Megan and Sarah said simultaneously.

"Harder than she normally is." Blaise replied.

"Whatever." Megan replied laughing.

"I'll see you guys in Care of Magical Creatures then." Draco said not wanting to leave Megan yet again." Draco said hugging Megan and walking downstairs and outside into the fresh air. He walked as fast as he could to get to the greenhouses at the back of the school.

"Almost late, Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Sprout said as Draco ran into the green house right before the bell rung.

"It won't happen again, professor." Draco said taking his place next to Regulus.

Class went by slowly; they plated some water plants and repotted some Poisonous Dragonquills. Used as a cure to most ruined potions. The time slowly passed as she talked to them about how to plant certain water plants, some that they would plat later on in the year and put into the lake on the grounds.

"Don't be late tomorrow!" Professor Sprout yelled as Draco left the green house.

Draco ran to little hut, Hargid's home, as fast as he could so he could meet Megan, Blaise and Sarah for their next class. Draco saw Blaise first coming up over the hill and then Sarah and Megan right behind him.

"Aye! Hurry up!" Draco yelled to them.

Mean ran down the hill towards Draco and lost her footing and fell to the ground, sliding down the hill the rest of the way. "Ouch! That hurt." Megan said rubbing her side that she fell on.

"Are you okay?" Draco replied running to Megan helping her up off the ground.

"Yeah, I think so. That side will just be sore for a little while." Megan said as she got to her feet.

"Over here! Class! Over here!" Hagrid yelled as he came walking out of the forest.

"I hate this buffoon's class!" Draco said walking over towards Hagrid, hand in hand with Megan.

"Your not the only one!" Blaise replied putting his arm around Sarah's waist.

"Malfoy finally found someone just like him! Oh, how cute!" Pansy said from behind him and Megan.

"What do you want Pansy?" Blaise said before Draco had the chance.

"I just think they look to cute together. So cute, they shouldn't even be together." Pansy replied.

"Shut up, Pansy!" Hermione said.

"You're standing up for Draco?" Ron said slightly angered.

"Yeah, I'm standing up for him, I may not like him. But Pansy needs to get her big nose out of other people relationships. Just because Draco's hand isn't in yours doesn't give you the right to bug him." Hermione responded.

Pansy went quiet and followed Hagrid into the forest.

"For once, Granger, I must thank you." Draco said nodding his head at Hermione and walked into the forest with Blaise, Megan, and Sarah.

Class went by slowly; before the bell rang Hagrid had brought them back out of the forest and dismissed them so they could go to lunch.
