I don't own Harry Potter just my Ocs.

Chapter 13

I bolted to the door and looked out. I saw him from a distance and there was no mistaking him and his blonde hair. "It's Malfoy," i said. "He saw us and He's seen the dragon..."

After that I was a little nervous with Malfoy smiling. I Spent my days looking over when Malfoy was near, wondering if Malfoy was going to show up or taunt us. Harry and the others spent their time trying to ignore him and in Hagrid's hut, I visit him too when I'm not studying and they'd most of the time too. Truthfully I was getting tired of studying so hard with Lucas, he just kept picking book after book. So now I'm at the hut trying to reason with Hagrid.

"Just let him go," Harry urged "Set him free."

"I can't," Hagrid said. "He's too little. He'd die."

"In your eyes he's little...but he's a big boy now." I muttered glancing at the dragon. It had grown three times in length in just a week.

"I've decided to call him Norbert," Hagrid said, his eyes misty. "He really knows me now, watch. Norbert! Norbert! Where's Mummy?"

"Hagrid," I said loudly, "you can't keep him. Norbert's a dragon. He's going to keep growing until he is as big as your house. And did you forget that he can breath fire? Your hut is made of wood!"

Hagrid bit his lip.

"I – I know I can't keep him forever, but I can't jus' dump him, I can't." Hagrid said

"Well, what if we could send him to my brother, Charlie." Ron suggested. "He takes care of all kinds of dragons in Romania."

"That's fantastic!" Hermione smiled. "That way he can be with his own kind!"

"That's a good idea Ron!"I said

Hagrid frowned and looked back at the small dragon. Knowing that we were right, Hagrid began to sob.

"B-but he's so s-small! What if the other ones eat him!" Hagrid said

"They aren't going to eat him, Hagrid!" Ron said.

After we left Hagrid's house, we decided that it was best that Ron send Charlie a letter telling him about the scaly situation. We found it really odd that Malfoy hadn't turned us in. We figured that he might use it as blackmail or that he might be waiting for the "right" moment to turn us in, I still kept my guard up just in case. I was quietly reading a book with Lucas on a nearby bench in the hallway. Both of us were reading and just talking quietly. I glanced up and saw Malfoy walking with his friends I saw him smile at me but I ignored him and talked to Lucas.

"Oh Ellie I almost forgot my mum gave me some fudge that she baked I've got some here."Lucas reached in his bag taking out a box but I saw a spark hitting the box knocking it over. Lucas picked it up and opened it to see the sweets replaced by worms. Lucas dropped it and the worms wiggled and moved it looked gross.

"Someone Vermiculus jinx..."Lucas said

"Really? I think I know who used it to turn the candy into worms."I said glaring at Malfoy. He snickered a bit.

"Not nice Malfoy!" I said

"What? Ellie you should know that Lucy likes to carry worms, maybe because he is a worm." He said

That was it! I took out my wand and yelled out anything that popped in my head. Hitting me Malfoy, he got knocked back and when he got up his hair was spiked up and a blue color with white polka dots. The other kids started laughing and Malfoy was red in the face, running off covering his hair with his robes.

"That'll teach you not to mess with my friends! You polka dotted smurf!" I yelled out waving my wand. After that I wanted to go see the dragon today but sadly I got detention because of what I did to Malfoy. They told me that I would be having detention with Snape, I made my way towards the potions class to get it done. He gave me a list of things to do without using magic. I looked at the list. Which was to Clean the Cauldrons,Sweep the floors, Label the jars

I had just finished cleaning the cauldrons and labeling the jars. In total silence I sometimes glanced at Snape I would catch him glancing my way. I didn't complain the entire detention. Everything was quiet that is until Malfoy walked in "Professor I was wondering if you could…" Malfoy stopped mid-sentence staring directly at me. His haircolor was back to normal.

"Professor Snape isn't here he left to get me some more cleaning supplies, he'll be back in a few minutes." I said

I grabbed my broom and getting to work sweeping away the dirt that had littered the floor.

"You're cleaning without magic?" I nodded ignoring his shocked look.

"Yes." I said

"You shouldn't even have to do this." I finish sweeping and put the broom away after getting rid of the dirt from the pan.

"Why do you care?" He smiled sitting in a seat watching me work.

"It's my punishment." He leaned at the wall looking at me.'It's not gonna change my mind the next time you make fun of my friends I'll hex you again.' I thought

"What did you need with Professor Snape anyway?" I ask already annoyed at him.

"Oh I was wondering if he could recommend a book for me to study but if he's not here maybe you can recommend a book?" I glance behind me to see him staring at me hopefully. "You're always reading a few that Snape gives you."

"Um maybe depending on the subject you're studying." Walking over. I figured if I do this he'd leave me alone.

"I need a book about transfiguration and potions." He said

"Then try Theories of Transubstantial Transfiguration book that should help you." I said "I've already read it so it helped me in turning that string into a worm, but for potions then you might need Potion Opuscule that book makes it easy to understand potions."

"Are those any good?" he asks looking up at me, I could clearly see his gray blue eyes.

"I think it's good it helped me most of the times in classes and I always got the questions that they give us right." I said I smiled brightly at remembering the teachers praising me.

"Cute.." He mumbled looking away.

"What?" He jumped and looked up at me.

"Nothing, nothing at all." I shake my head and laugh he's a bad liar.

"Did you just sy that I'm cute?" I said there was a light shade of pink on his cheeks.

"So what if I did?" I shake my head looking away, it was kinda nice seeing him like that. Even if he's still a jerk to my friends...but my dad raised me better and that I should help him study.

"If that's all you wanted Malfoy then you can go." I said "Now I need to get back to work I should be done in a bit after that I guess I'll go back to the tower."

"Well...There's still something else Ellie." He said leaning down he placed a quick peck my cheek, my eyes widen and quickly took a few steps back. I wanted to slap him but the professor came back and looked at us. Lucky little blondie! If Snape wasn't here right now I would've kicked his butt!

He kissed me. I felt my face warm and I shook my head I can't believe that guy! Without even asking me! I'm so gonna get him! The only time I've been kissed on the cheek was when Lucas kissed my cheek a year ago on Christmas, we were under the mistletoe and he just kissed my cheek we both slightly blushed at the end but he was blushing way harder. After I finished my work.

"Did anything happen while I was gone?" Professor Snape asks when Malfoy left as I grabbed my stuff.

"No, not nothing Malfoy was here to see if you would recommend anything to help him study." He nodded "I'm surprised that you had detention. Be more careful."

"No promises." I said "If Malfoy messes with me or my friends he'll get more than just blue hair."

His eyes soften a bit when he looked at me. He had a very, very faint smile on his lips I couldn't believe that I saw him smile. "I see, head out to the tower." I nodded "Yes Professor."

I decided not to tell anyone what just happened between me and Malfoy.

Within a few days time, Charlie replied to Ron's letter about the dragon. He said that he would be happy to take it and told us that Norbert would be perfectly safe with the other dragons in the area. We told Hagrid all about it, which he responded with tears. In the end Hagrid decided that it was best that Norbert be sent away to live amongst other dragons. The plan was that we would sneak Norbert off to the Owlery on Saturday night where he couldn't be seen.

But a few days before Saturday, Ron's hand was bitten by Norbert and he was forced to go to Madam Pomfrey when the bite began to swell until it became the size of golf all. Me and Ron were able to convince her that he was bitten by a dog.

"It's okay, Ron," Hermione said. "It'll all be over on Saturday night…"

"Bloody hell," Ron said, sitting up quickly.

"What is it?" I asked him, "Does it hurt?"

"The note - it's gone!" Ron exclaimed. "The note from Charlie! Malfoy came in here asking for one of my books and it was the one that had the note in it! He's going to know about everything!"

"It's too late to change the plan now," Harry said. "We haven't got time to send Charlie another owl and this could be our only chance to get rid of Norbert. We'll have to risk it. And we have got the Invisibility Cloak, Malfoy doesn't know about that."

"I don't know, Harry," i said " It just I have a bad feeling." I felt like something was going down.

"But this is our only chance," said Harry. "If something happens, we can just hide under the cloak."

Saturday finally came and Norbert appeared to be a lot bigger than when we last saw him. Hagrid had a cage all prepared for him. However, Ron could not come with us because he had to stay with Madam Pomfrey.

"I put some brandy in there," he cried. "And a teddy bear so he don't get lonely."

"It's going to be fine, Hagrid," Harry reassured their friend.

"Norbert will be fine with the other dragons." I said

"Yeah…" he sobbed. "I'm just gonna miss 'im!"

After Hagrid said his goodbyes to the dragon, we threw the invisibility cloak over ourselves, it was a bit difficult since we had the dragon but we managed were off to the Owlery.

We had almost made it up to the tower, when we were stopped at the sight of Professor McGonagall. She was in her nightgown and was pulling Malfoy along by the ear.

"Detention, Mr. Malfoy!" she growled. "And twenty points from Slytherin!"

"But, Professor," Malfoy begged her. "The Potters are coming by here, I swear it! They have a dragon!"

"What is this nonsense!" McGonagall said. "Just come with me."

After we had moved along, we continued to make our way to the Owlery. When we got up there and met four people on broomsticks waiting for us. We waved them off as they took Norbert off to Romania.

We walked out of the Owlery practically glowing. The dragon was finally gone, Hagrid wasn't going to be in any trouble, and Malfoy had detention. I'm happy that he got detention! That'll show him! Nothing went wrong! But why did I still have that bad feeling in my gut?

"Well, well, well," Filch said coming up behind us. "Look what we have here."

Filch smiled from ear to ear, catching us in the act.

We had left the cloak in the Owlery…...the only thing I know is that we are in so much trouble...
