1.1
It was another beautiful day in Hogsmeade. The cold winter was giving away for the spring. Lots of Hogwarts students were in town today. Walking about and shopping, grabbing a bear at the Three Broomsticks. Two boys from the Slytherin house just left Zonko's with their pockets full of dungbombs. They were planning on throwing them at the Gryffindors when they got back to the castle.
"It was worth every Knut! The looks they will have on their faces!" the short one said and laughed.
The taller one joined in on the laughter and added, "Yeah and we could make one of their first-years eat one"
The shorter boy suddenly stopped and his hand grabbed for his wand. Two boys from Gryffindor, Colin and Dennis Creavey came walking down the same street. The taller boy said to his friend, "Put down your wand, we might get in trouble and lose points." But he didn't lower his wand and soon Colin and Dennis came close enough to see the raised wand.
"Are you threatening us Alan?" Colin asked the short boy.
"What if I am?" Alan replied.
Colin drew his wand too. He was not a very brave boy but he couldn't walk away. The boys made themselves ready to duel when the other Slytherin said, "Oh here comes Crabbe and Goyle!"
Crabbe rushed past Goyle and parted them. "Idiots, you can't duel in the middle of Hogsmeade, do you want to get detention?!" The boys said nothing but they both lowered their wands. But it was too late. Ron had seen it all and he rushed forward to help Colin. Ron pointed his wand at Malfoy, "cursed be all Slytherins, why do you always have to pick on everyone but yourselves!" He throws a curse at Crabbe and the fight is on. Not noticing the people that have arrived to the scene they continue to fight. Remus Lupin, the teacher in defence against the dark arts and Sirius Black come out of one of the stores and sees the commotion in the street. Sirius draws his wand too and is about to rush forward when Remus grabs him by the arm. "Let go of me Remus!" "Why? This is not your fight!" Remus hisses between his teeth. On the other side of the street Severus Snape is standing pointing his own wand at Sirius. "Let go of me I say, Snivellus is there on the other side and he's begging for it!"
But then out of nowhere comes Cornelius Fudge with a very angry look on his face.
"Expelliarmus" he shouts and wands fly here and there. "Who started this fight!?"
Everyone started shouting. Some screamed about the Slytherins and some put the blame on the Gryffindors.
"Alright! It doesn't matter who started it but you will all pick up your wands and walk away quietly or you will have to face the consequences." Fudge turns away and leaves the scene like all the other people.
On the way back to the castle Snape grabs Crabbe by the collar, "I would be very disappointed if it were you who were the vile beginners of this fray!"
"I don't know Sir. When Goyle and I arrived they were already quarrelling. And then more and more people arrived and it turned into chaos."
"Good", Snape said and let Crabbe down.
When Crabbe came back to the castle he sought out Malfoy. He was nowhere to be found. The last place where he looked was the Library. And there Malfoy was, sitting in one of the big windows looking down on the castle grounds.
"Hi…why weren't you with us in Hogsmeade this morning?"
Malfoy, still looking out the window answered, "I don't know, I had a lot to think about…"
Crabbe frowned, "you're still in love with that Rawenclaw girl aye?
No answer from Malfoy, he just turned a bit so he got a better view of the Whomping Willow.
"I knew it! Get over her man, she's nothing for you…"
Draco sighed and turned to face his friend, "I don't know what girl you're talking about…"
"Then who is it?" Crabbe said looking surprised. He thought that he had figured this out.
The blonde boy shook his head, "one that will never love me I assure you…"
Crabbe didn't like when his friend was in such a depressing mood. So he suggested that they maybe should go and eat something. Draco shrugged and hopped down to the floor. Oh how sad he was because of this girl he had fallen heads over heels for.
