I unfortunately do not own the world of Harry Potter.
I would just like to say a quick thanks to CyberDog101.
This is my first fan-fic. Hope you like it! (And if you haven't guessed by now, reviews are greatly appreciated!)
Just so you all know - I have just started writing a new fan-fic - Mysterious Last Name. I would appreciate it if you would check it out. Thanks!
Chapter 10:
The End of the Year
It was finally the last week of school, and Ariella was dreading the end. She really didn't want to go back to Malfoy Manor. She thought that she had done well on her final exams, and her classes as a whole. As she sat down as the Slytherin table for Lunch that day, she thought that she heard Harry, Ron, and Hermione discussing something about Snape and a Stone. Intrigued, she listened, and learned that they were planning on going up to the room with the three-headed dog in it that night. She decided right then and there that, if she could get away from Draco, she would go and see what they were up to.
Ariella did manage to get away that night, but as she was about to reach the door, she heard Peeves coming, and had to duck in to an empty room in order to avoid detection. She then made her way to the locked door, muttered
"Alohomora", and quickly went inside, closing the door behind her. The dog, unfortunately for her, was awake, and before she could escape, raised a giant paw, and one of his claws caught her on her arm. She screamed, before crumpling to the ground in pain, and passing out.
When Ariella awoke, the first thing she did was muffle a cry of pain. Her arm was hot, and searing, but calmed down a minute later. Then she opened her eyes, for she had shut them tight against the pain, and looked around. All around her, there was white. White curtains, sheets, pillows, you name it.
"Oh good, you're finally up dear," said Madame Pomfrey.
"Here, take this, it will help with the pain," she continued, handing Ariella a cup of greenish-purple liquid. Ariella made a face, but drank the substance. She immediately felt better.
"May I go?" she asked the medi-witch.
"Alright, but be careful with your arm."
"Yes, Madam Pomfrey. Thank you." And with that, Ariella walked down to the Great Hall for the end of term feast.
Once there, she took her usual place beside Draco. Professor Dumbledore stood up to make some announcements. By the time he was done, Gryffindor had won the House Cup, and everyone was clapping loudly, including herself. Well, almost everyone. Draco had such a sour, weird look on his face that Ariella couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was happy for Gryffindor, and especially happy that the trio, for the most part, seemed to be alright.
This had been a great year, and she was definitely looking forward to next year.
Sorry I skipped so much, but I wanted to move the story along.
