Chapter 35

Through The Trapdoor


"Ah, Finally!" I said with happiness, after finishing the last exam paper. Zabini and Nott just smirked, glad to have free time. "So, anyone thinks they can pass with excellent result?" I added.

I raised an eyebrow at them, challenging them.

"Yes." Nott replied confidently.

"As long as top 10, I don't mind." Zabini said.

"Let's celebrate!" I said before my eyes caught the sight of Harry and his friends. "Maybe later." I quickly waved at my friends saying that I had things to do and left.

"Hey!" Nott said, narrowing his eyes while Zabini had thoughtful face.

"Let him be." He said to Nott, watching Ethan left.

"Harry, are you ok?" I heard Longbottom asked him when I got near them.

"My scar. It's keep hurting." Harry responded, scratching his scar.

"Your scar?" Granger gasped, horrified.

"Guys!" I greeted them.

"Ethan!" Longbottom and Harry greeted back.

"Kingcrown!" Granger said with unimpressed look.

"What this is all about? I heard someone mention scar?" I asked, ignoring Granger who glaring at me. "Did you scar hurting?"

"Why do you want to know?" Granger interjected before Harry can say something.

"Really, Granger?" I said, dryly.

"Guys." Harry said, interrupting his friends who glaring at each other while Longbottom just kept silent.

"Yes?" I looked at Harry with a smile. Granger huffed and looked away from me.

"Stop fighting, ok?" He said quietly while Longbottom nodded at his side. Both of them looking at me with their pleading eyes.

"Very well." I decided to change the subject by asking him the same question again about his scar.

"Maybe it's a sign?" I said, giving him a clue.

"Sign?" Harry looked thoughtful for a while before gasped.

"You're right!" Harry said and went to Hagrid's Hut.

"Eh, wait for us!" Longbottom and I said at the same time with Granger following behind.

"What this is all about?" Longbottom questioned, trying to catch up with Harry.

"Dragon!" That's all Harry's replied.

"Dragon?" Longbottom raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! How did Hagrid get a Dragon? Don't you find it's strange?" Harry said, anxious.

"You're right!" Granger shouted, making me wince.

"Granger no need to shout!" I said. We arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Bang! Bang!

"Hagrid!" I smirked at Harry keep banging the door until Hagrid opened the door.

"Harry?" Hagrid said, confused but inviting all of us into his hut. "Come in."

Harry rejected the offered before asking Hagrid about the Dragon. The three of us just listening to their conversation.

"Let's go! Thanks, Hagrid!" Harry said before running towards castle.

"Seriously?" I muttered, seeing him running again. I glanced at Longbottom and Granger. Longbottom seems will collapse any moment.

"Harry, slow down!" I interject, grabbing his left wrist. "Look at Longbottom!" I said, cutting Harry's protest.

"Neville!" Harry quickly help Longbottom to stand straight. "Are you ok? Sorry."

"I'm fine. Just exhausted from running." Longbottom said between his breath.

Granger also help Longbottom. "Hey, you should help him." She said, glaring at me. "You're a boy. So you are stronger than me."

I huffed at her and took her place to help Longbottom. "Take a deep breath." I advice Longbottom. "We should rest for a while and think about our next move."

Harry smile sheepishly. "You're right. Sorry."
