Chapter 25: Not Important Eh!
Dragon woke the next morning avoiding all of his friends, he needed time alone to sort everything out. 'Yeah like that work so well the first time.' Dragon thought to himself entering the Great Hall. Once he entered all eyes were on him.
"Drag why" Daniel asked sitting next to him.
"Why what Zabini? It's to early in the morning to play guessing games." Dragon snapped sounding exactly like his father.
"Why did you try to kill yourself" Daniel whispered the last part.
"Melissa you loud mouth! Did you tell the whole school? Is that why they are all staring at me? Does everyone know I attempted suicide" Dragon yelled across the Great Hall.
"They might be staring because you have your clothes inside out, your yelling, and the fact that there's a bloody article about it in the Daily Prophet! I however didn't tell anyone" Melissa yelled then left the Great Hall.
"There's what" Dragon grabbed the newspaper out of the student next to him hands and turned it to the front page.
Potter and Malfoy's Son Not So Golden
By: Rita Skeeter
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy' son, Dragon Malfoy, has proved to be as rebelious as Draco himself. According to reports, Dragon tried to carelessly throw himself out of the Astronomy tower window on the grounds of Hogwarts. The cause behind this attempt. "My parents don't love me." Dragon said before attempting to jump.
"I did not" Dragon couldn't read anymore. He slammed the paper down on the table.
"You didn't what" Hermione asked coming up behind him.
"Say my parents don't love me! I would never say that! I just said my parents didn't care and I said it while my parents where there, not before I tried to jump" Dragon shouted.
"Ok calm down. What's this about? Honestly you're more like Harry than you think." Hermione grabbed the newspaper and read the article.
"Oh, Dragon that Rita Skeeter woman is a load of rubbish. She use to write stories about Harry and me dating all the time back in school." Hermione tried to assure him. "So not important eh? If you weren't so important then people wouldn't be making such a big fuss over you. So obviously you are important. Even if it's just to reporters and photographers. Look there's a picture of you on the front page see." Hermione tried to joke around.
"Thank Aunt Hermione. Can I come by the R.O.R later to talk to you? I just need to get some stuff on my chest. Please." Dragon gave his best Malfoy pout.
"Fine, but if it's about your personal- well if it has anything to do with beds and silk then I suggest talking to Draco. Somethings you both do, I don't need to know about." Hermoine then went to talk to Draco and Harry.
"R.O.R" Daniel asked confused.
"Room of Requirements. I'll show you one day, but we have to get to History of Magic, I heard one of the old students Oliver Wood talked Professor Binns into covering the History of Quidditch today." Dragon ran from the Great Hall. Once the bell rang the class entered suprised to see two people having what looked like a very long conversation, but no professor Binns.
"Welcome, come in. I regret to inform you all that professor Binns has finally moved on. On such short notice Dumbledore has asked my good friend Professor Wood to teach you. I'm sure today's lesson will be highly interesting and a little competitive. Please treat him with respect, as he was once a student here and learned from the best." Harry then left the class.
"If you will all follow me, we will go to the Quidditch pitch, and please on your way out take a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages." Oliver said leading the class out of the room. Out on the pitch there were brooms laid out and a chest in the middle.
"Um, professor, we aren't really playing are we" Sarah Thomas asked.
"Not at first no. We aren't that crazy." Two red-haired boys walked out onto the field.
"Uncle Fred, Uncle George. What are you two doing here" Dragon asked shocked.
"We're here to help." George smiled.
"And to keep an eye on you." Fred winked. "We will be discussing what happened recently over winter."
"Gosh Drag is everyone your aunt or uncle" Daniel and Melissa asked.
"Well, I actually think they're my cousins, and I'll explain later." Dragon started to laugh at the looks on their faces.
"Anyways, these two are Fred and George Weasley, they use to be the best beaters Gryffindor's Quidditch team ever had. I tried to get Professor Potter to join us, but he wouldn't budge. I never thought he'd give up being seeker." Oliver started rambling.
"Wood enough. They don't deserve to be put down 'Oliver's twisted memory lane,' and your little obsession with Harry." Fred laughed.
"I'm not obsessed." Oliver said offended.
"Anyways! Quidditch came from a game play at Queerditch Marsh. The positions, rules and our knowlege of the game is in large part due to Gertie Keddle who wrote everything in her diary. This game had everything but the Golden Snitch, which was named after a bird called the Snidget." George started teaching the lesson.
"And why should we trust you? We know of you legacy here." Sarah Parkinson snapped.
"You have the book infront of you, open it to pages 7-10 and read, go on. George was just summarizing it, come on I believe you are suppose to be reading." Oliver said eyeing her.
"We owe our knowlege of the rude beginnings of Quidditch to the writings of the witch Gertie Keddle, who lived on the edge of Queerditch Marsh in the 11th century." Sarah read aloud. (Quidditch Through the Ages p. 7, yes I have the book.)
"Now that we have verified these facts, lets get some basic Quidditch knowlege in." Oliver opened the box.
"You know why he's teaching this don't you" Fred whispered to Dragon and Daniel.
"No why" Daniel asked intrigued.
"He wants everyone to go as mad as he does when the word Quidditch is even mentioned. They are thinking of taking it out of Hogwarts. Cornelius is a git, he is." George whispered next to them.
"Ok so there are 7 people on a team, 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, and a Seeker. The Chasers handle this ball called a Quaffle." Oliver threw it around to the students. "The Beaters like Fred and George here, will demonstarte are in charge of the Blundgers. Here are your bats." Oliver hadned them the bats while they got onto their brooms.
"Okay, how about Mr. Zabini and Miss Parkinson join them. Parkinson on George's side and Zabini on Fred's. Now the motive for the beater is to protect their players." Oliver explained. "All you two need to do is fly around."
"Great here comes the competitiveness." George yelled.
"I was just going to bet the students no homework tonight if Fred won." Oliver sounded offended.
"Fine, you're on. Uncle George is way better." Dragon excalimed just trying to get the lesson started. Oliver released the Blundgers and all four player went off around the pitch. The Blundgers had been enchanted so they wouldn't hurt the students. Fred tried to hit Sarah only to be blocked by George. Sometime later George snuck up behind Fred and hit Zabini with the Blundger only making him laugh.
"I was wishing Harry would have decided to join us, I would have let you seen the Snitch in action. Unfortunately it would take the three of us forever to find it and I don't have forever until the next class."
"Well you sure are taking forever." Sarah commented.
"10 points from Slytherin for not keeping your mouth shut." Oliver's eyes got small and he glared at Sarah.
"Look trust us."
"Just release the Snitch."
"We know someone."
"Who can get it."
"Even if they don't think they can." Fred and George took turns saying.
"Fine." Oliver rolled his eyes, but released the Snitch.
"Where is it" One of the Gryffindors asked.
"No idea, that's why I didn't, Mr. Malfoy where are you going" Oliver asked a little frightened that he might do something dangerous. Dragon never even remembered getting on a broom, but 2 seconds later he had caught the Snitch and handed it back to Oliver. "H-how"
"He's Harry son also, so it's only natural he had both his father's Quidditch genes. You have to admit Draco was the second best Seeker in the school." Fred smirked at Oliver innocently. Oliver just stared at Fred. Dragon made a mental note to ask Draco about why Harry didn't volunteer. Once class ended everyone headed off to their next class.
A/N: I promise to get around to answering all the reviews for the last chapter and this in the next one I post. I sort of just posted this chapter becauseI found an article on what Orlin and I were talking about and just had to show Orlin it.
Orlin: I found an article that Tom wrote to his fans that they have on heprobably will be in Order of the Phoenix, I mean since he's already thinking of the movie.Tom/Draco is sending out a new newsletter to fans who write to him, so if you've wondered what he's been up to:I have finished the main part of the filming of 'The Order of the Phoenix'. He probably meant 'Goblet of Fire'. Which has taken six months so far and there will be more months of work involved with all the other parts of filming involved in making such a huge film! I'm sure you will love it when it is released later this year. School studies have finished for the moment as I have taken my GCSEs last summer and I'm not going to college at the moment. I might go to fishing college this September but my plans are not quite clear at the moment. As I am 17 , I love driving my BMW and I love the freedom it gives me to go where I want especially if it leads to a lake where I can go fishing which is my favourite hobbies. We have posters, t-shirts and photos for sale and the details are on the enclosed page. Unfortunately the fan club is now full now and we are not taking anymore registrations.
