Thanks for Reading, I really appreciate it( I really do), I hope you´re enjoying, forgive any dreadful mistake I make and let me know about it. Now, on with the story…
Astoria´s POV
It had been a couple days since our arrival, and I was as happy as I could be. Mildred was the coolest roommate ever, because we liked the same things, we got along perfectly and we were both really good singers ( I was more a dancer) and we loved doing reprises in our room, we were the best roommates ever!
By now, I had already discovered my skills (Charms and transfigurations) and my biggest weakness (Potions, even if Professor Snape favored Slytherins, I sucked) but I was still a very good student. Today we were finally having our first flight lesson and I was really excited about it.
-Hi, my name is Madame Hooch and I´ll be your teacher, now, I want all of you to follow all my instructions perfectly, otherwise, you´re out of my class, got it?- she asked, and everyone nodded.
She had spiky grey hair which was cut short and had piercing, yellow, hawk-like eyes; she wore a white button-down collared shirt and black necktie with the Hogwarts crest. I was sure she wasn´t the kind of teacher students feared, she was just trying to keep the situation under control.
-Now, everybody, stand on the left side of your brooms with your right hand over it, and say UP in a firm demanding way, ready?...GO!- She yelled, we all stood in positions and I started to hear ups all over the place.
- Up- I said firmly, and despite my nervousness, the broom came up to my hand. I smiled widely, waiting for instructions.
- When I say, you´ll hover slightly, and CAREFULLY in the air… now!- she ordered, and so we did .
- Now, kick!- she said and I could feel how I started rising in the air. This was amazing, honestly, I expected it to be way harder, and scarier, but it came out really well…ZAAAZ! I heard, and turned around to find my friend Mills knocked in the floor. Madame Hooch turned to her and immediately carried her in her arms. I descended and ran towards them.
- Stay- she said.
-She´s my best friend- I replied, with my cutest puppy face.
-Fine then- she said, turning to the others.
- If I catch any of you doing anything…. I´ll expel you- she yelled firmly, before walking with me to the Hospital.
-Is it the same of every year? - Madame Pomfrey asked.
-Kind of, it slightly changes every year- she said, leaving Mildred in a bed.
- Darling, help me since you´re here- she said looking at me.
I ran towards the bed and helped Pomfrey turn my friend around to examine her.
-It´s not all that bad, I´ll give her something when she wakes up. Her wrist is broken and her head will ache terribly, poor thing - she said, apparently more to the air that to me, caressing Mildred´s hair.
- Can I stay? – I asked, staring at her.
-It seems like no one else will- she said, and I turned around to realize Madame Hooch was gone. How irresponsible she was, a student was seriously injured and she walked away. Coward.
I sat on a chair and waited for a while, until I heard steps coming and someone screaming in a terrible pain.
I saw a gang of 3rd graders come in, and my sister was with them. I could vaguely recognize a couple. My sister came and walked towards me, she had a terrified look.
-What happened? - I asked.
- It´s Draco, that horrendous thing attacked him for the simple fact of existing, that Hagrid is such an idiot for letting such a terrible monster near us- she said, whining.
- What monster? - I asked, really scared. I totally thought that gigantor capable of letting anything enter the school.
-That horrible hippogriff, Buckbeack, it nearly kills Draco! - She said, leaning in my shoulder. I hugged her, and whipped her tears.
-It´s going to be fine- I said caressing her hair.
-OMG! And you? What are you doing here? What happened? Are you OK? Do you want me to owl mom? - She asked like in a nervous attack or something.
-I´m fine, I´m with my friend Mildred, who fell down in the flying lesson- I said, rolling my eyes. Merlin, sisters could be extremely annoying.
Suddenly, Snape came in.
-What the devil is going on in here? - He asked, and everyone turned to see him.
-All 3rd graders, out- He said, pointing to the door.
- Can I stay? I want to take care of my Dracey- Pansy said in her sweetest voice. Hah, as if her Dracey was going to thank her.
-Only Parkinson, the rest, out- he said again. My sister kissed me and ran away.
I saw her caress his hair with so much love, it touched me. She genuinely loved him.
Tora, Tora, what happened?-I finally heard Mils ask. She was staring at me confused.
You fell of you broom at class, but don´t worry, you´ll be fine- I said, smiling at her.
My arm, it hurts- She said,, trying to hold her tears. I hugged her, and caressed her hair (seriously we had to find another way to make people feel better this one was really a cliché).
I could have lost mine and I´m not whining like a crybaby, oh wait, you ARE crybabies- I heard someone say across the room. How surprising, it was Maldoy? Malois? Well him, the usual jerk.
Shut up- I replied, glaring at him.
I shut up when I want to, not when you tell me to- he said, girlfriend laughed.
Go bother Potter and let us be, Malois- I said receiving a glare from Pugsy ( oh that was a good one, admit it) and a " cut it off" expression from Mildred.
It´s Malfoy, M-A-L-F-O-Y- just in case you´re not clever enough to get it- he said, visibly quite upset.
Malfoy drink this , and you, Parkinson, go to your dormitory .Seriously Malfoy, only you are silly enough to upset an hippogriff, - Madame Pomfrey said, and I exploded in laughter, Pugsy and Malfoy both glared at me.
She gave him a spoon of some skeleton potion; Pansy stood up and left, glaring at me the whole time. Then she came back stamping her feet in every step.
Why can´t I stay if Greengrass is staying with a clearly less injured person?- She yelled, staring furiously at M. Pomfrey. I found it surprising that she knew my last name.
Because they´re first graders, is Malfoy a first grader that might cry if no one makes him company, miss Parkinson?- Madame Pomfrey asked, challenging Pansy. Mils and I smiled widely, first at each other, then at the question and finally laughed .
NO- she replied, upset.
Then- M. Pomfrey said, pointing at the door. Pugsy (hahaha Pugsy…. I´m really good ) left just as upset, flogging the door. I laughed quietly as Mils and I stared at each other.
What can I do to cheer you up?- I asked. Mils knew that what I meant was: how do you want to piss our new toy off now?
You could sing some Madonna for me- She said smirking in victory.
Only if you sing along- I said, smiling from ear to ear.
Fine- she said, laughing- you start- She concluded. She started cracking with a hand and I began tapping my toes to the rhythm of " Like a Virgin"
I made it through the wilderness- I began, at the top of my lungs.
Somewhow I made it trouuuuuugh- she continued, Malfoy just glared us
I didn´t know how lost I was –I sang, starting to dance around
Until I found you-she continued
I was beat , incomplete- me ( louder)
I´d been had, I´d been sad and blue – she sang , faking a terrible voice that just made me want to laugh so hard, I couldn´t believe I was behaving like this.
But you made me feel, yeah you mAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAde me feel , shinny and new- me, loudly, twirling around the room
Like a virgin!, touched for the very first time, like a vIIIIIIIrgin! When your heart beats, next to mine- both of us, at the top of our lungs, both about to laugh so hard we could have left him deaf.
For Merlin´s sake shut up, I would let you go on with your circus, but that is the WORST muggle music ever- Malfoy said in a furious tone, glaring at us
I shut up when I want to, not when you tell me to- I said quoting him-And Madonna is the greatest idol and inspiration there will ever be – I concluded, and he rolled his eyes .
Gonna give you all my love boy!- Mils screamed, and Malfoy just shrunk in his bed.
My fear is fading fast-I continued, clapping at the beat and dancing around
Silencio!- Malfoy shouted, and suddenly we lost our voice .
Seems like you shut up when I want you to, Greengrass and co - He said, smirking.
I glared at him and started looking for a way to communicate. I found a parchment in M. Pomfrey´s desk, next to a pen and ink.
What a jerk
I wrote, and I handed her the paper. She laughed and started writing
Draco´s POV
Now these stupid girls started writing to each other and gossiping. Couldn´t they just sit quietly? Seriously, where were they, in potions class?
And besides they couldn´t be just any freshman girls, they had to be Slytherins. And one of them had to be annoyingly pretty, quite a prospect for an icy queen B-tch that had no consideration for the attempt of murdered I had just been through.
Great, McGonagall had just decided to show up and check on us.
Mrs. Greengrass, it´s dinnertime, and you might want to join the rest of your House in the Great Hall- she said, smiling at her. She smiled back, wrote something on the paper and handed it to McGonagall.
I would love to if I could actually speak to my partners- She read out loud. The girl looked at me and made a "you´re pawned" face.
Why is it that you are unable to speak? - McGonagall asked . The little wretch took the paper again and McGonagall immediately turned to me, visibly upset.
You don´t show respect to your own house, Mr. Malfoy? - She said, shaking her head.
I am respectful to my House, but when you´re trying to recovery from an injury, I´m sure a reprise of "Like a Virgin" isn´t really helpful - I said triumphantly, there´s no way she could argue that.
Finite Incantatum- She said, and the girls gasped, apparently recovering their voices.
Well, everybody loves Madonna- said Astoria, as if it was obvious to the world who Madoughnut was and her talent was unique.
Well, I´ve never heard such name, or such song, and I agree with Mr. Malfoy, this is not the place for singing- She said, scolding the kids.
Well, when your best friend is about to cry , she gets insulted and she asks you to singto make her feel better, it seems like anywhere is the place- she replied, showing her best puppy face.
That´s right, and since you´re in the choir, it seems like it couldn´t be that bad, Mr. Malfoy, so, why to silent them?- She said, looking at me. It was unbelievable how a cute little girl could just put her puppy face and everyone would buy anything she said.
Well, I did find it annoying- I said, rolling my eyes, couldn´t she just take 10 points and let go?
Since you belong to the same house, I would find it unfair to take points from you, Mr. Malfoy, but your House´s Head, Professor Snape, shall decide your punishment- She announced. Hah, idiot, as if Snape was going to give me a serious punishment, I was his favorite.
And you, both of you, since you look way better Mrs. Thegerson, can go to the Great Hall- she concluded, escorting the girls. They were both going to pay for this, anyway….
Did you read my text?-Well you didn´t review me back- Please do it
