A/N Hey Lads and Lasses, So this is the next Chapter! So happy I got it up the next day!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! to everyone who has reviewed and given me so much support especially SereniteRose who has given me so much support from the beginning of this story. You have all given me my motivation back and I once again love this story.
I know last chapter I said it was my longest but now it has been outdone by this one as it was over 2,000 words without my A/N!
I really hope you liked this chapter!

Chapter 17
8th January 1994
School has started again after having a wonderful Christmas Holiday, although spent at the school. Harry, Draco and I spent the holiday in Dads living quarters. Dad mainly got us books about becoming animagi, Draco got me a picture of us too together that day at Hyde park on my birthday, how he managed to get a picture of it he won't tell me but I am very grateful for it all the same. And then Harry got me another picture of all three of us together which Dad had taken over the summer. I got Harry a new broom cleaning kit, and Draco a new fancy quill set and dad new potions ingredients. Harry also got a present which he didn't expect he would get. It was a blank piece of Parchment from Fred and George. They left a letter with it as well.
Happy Christmas Harry!
We thought that you would benefit from this the most. Seeing as you can't go to Hogsmeade because of your evil relatives. It may seem like a boring piece of old parchment but really it's a map of Hogwarts!
You're probably wondering why we're giving it to you and not Ron, Well you see we don't really like our younger brother. And you deserve it anyway. Plus we've memorised it!
Now all you need to do for the map to reveal itself is say: I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good!
It will give you a map of Hogwarts that tells you where everyone is! Also it shows some secret passageways. 7 of which go straight to Hogsmeade. Now be warned Filch knows about 3 of the and one is under the Whomping Willow, so we suggest you don't try and use that one. We will tell you the ones Filch knows about after the holidays.
To clear the map all you have to say is: Mischief Managed. And all evidence of it being a map will be cleared!
Use it well Harry!
Gred and Forge.
When Harry opened the map we were relieved to know that my name came up with Hermione Granger. Not Hermione Snape.
Dad informed us that the map was created by Harry's father and his friends; Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. And that they were all animagi (Apart from Lupin of course. By this point I had already figured out that our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a werewolf. Thanks to the lovely essay that my father set when he was covering him. He knew that only myself and Draco would realise and that I would then tell Harry. Besides just because he is a werewolf doesn't mean he doesn't have the chance to teach. And he has honestly been the best teacher we've had.)
After the holidays were over I had taken to wandering around the school under Harry's Invisibility cloak while Harry was at Quidditch Practice to try and find anywhere for Draco, Harry and I to go to be together unseen and where we can practice become animagi. As I was wandering round I thought back to the other night when Ron overhead Fred, George, Harry and I talking about the map in the common room.
*Flashback!*
We were sitting on the Comfy chairs by the fire discussing who the map was made by and how they got their nicknames.
"I can't believe we owe all our pranking to Harry's Dad!" George exclaimed. "I know what you mean Georgy. And to think we were considering giving this thing to fear Ronnikins!" Just then the sound of a chair scraping and a growl emitting from someone's throat put a hold to our conversation.
"Give What to me Fred?" The angry voice of Ron sounded behind us. We all turned to look and Fred Gulped. "Oh just a family heirloom of Harry's that we stole off Filch in our first year. We were going to give it to you but then when we found out that Harry's dad made it we thought we should give it back to its rightful owner. " Fred gave Ron a sly grin, happy with his little cover story. However the grin was a bad mood. It made Ron even angrier.
"You mean to tell me, that you decided to give some boy a gift, who you don't even know, instead of giving the gift to your own brother?" Fred frowned. "What do you mean some boy? Harry is our friend who we've know for 3 years, might I add that he was your friend too. Besides considering it belonged to Harry's father, surly he deserves it in the first place instead of you. " Ron's face grew purple.
"No. As a matter of fact I don't think he deserves it. He's already Saint Bloody Potter, The Boy Who Lived, Defeated the Dark Lord, Youngest Quidditch player in a century. He has a Cloak of Invisibility for crying out loud! But of course, in everyone else eyes you can't do anything wrong can you Potter? You're always better than everyone else! So why should he get something special? I deserve that gift considering I never get anything special! I always get you're stupid hand me downs! And yeah, he used to be my friend until he stole MY Hermione off me! Now he's just some Pratt that I used to know." That's when I had enough. I stood up and faced Ron.
"Stop being such a pathetic little fan girl Ronald. The minute you met Harry you thought that you would be able to be in the limelight. Have some fame. But all they saw you as was the Side kick. You could never live up to Harry's name and you could never live up to my smarts. You were always the one that everybody over saw. So you started to resent Harry. Until you joined in on protecting the stone and closing the chamber of Secrets. But even then you didn't do much. However you were still in the spotlight. Everyone wanted to know your story. Then when you started to think that Harry and I were dating you started to get resentful again. Because in your books Harry got the girl. But let me tell you something Ronald. Harry never asked to have all that fame and you know it. And as for us. Harry and I are not dating. I see him too much like a brother. And as for myself being yours? You wish. I am not some object to be claimed. I am my own person and I never was yours. Nor will I ever be! Congratulations Ronald. You've made any chance that you had to redeem yourself to Zero. Don't EVER come near me or Harry again!" I glared at Ron and he glared right back.
"Fine. I know when I'm not wanted. Even from my own family. I don't see why I fancied a filthy little Mudblood anyway." With that Ron then stormed off. However he didn't get very far as he was soon shot down by 3 spells colliding with his back. Fred, George and Harry all had their wands pointing at Ron. Of course that word doesn't actually effect me and Harry knows it. It was the fact that Ron actually resorted to it which hurt.
*End Flashback *
Since that incident Fred and George have become rather close to Harry and I as for Ron, he hasn't spoken to us since. Of course we still get the angry death glares but we ignore him.
With being lost in my thoughts I hadn't noticed that I was actually just pacing up and down a corridor, the seventh floor corridor I believed. There was a tapestry of Barnabus and Barmy. I mused at the painting for a while. Still concentrating on finding a safe place to meet Draco and Harry and to practice. When a turned around I saw that there was a door on the opposite wall.
"That's odd, I could have sworn there was nothing there before." I went up to the door and opened it, peering inside. Once I had a small look I decided to go inside fully and smiled at what I saw. Inside was a large room surrounded by bookcases with cushions and bean bags all over the floor. As well as a comfy looking sofa by a fire. My smile grew wider. "Of course! This must be the come and go room. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." I made my way out of the room and back to the common room. On entry I saw that Harry had not come back from training yet so I went straight up to bed. I picked up my diary to Dragon and started writing.
Mya: Hey Dragon Guess What?!
I only had to wait a few minutes for a reply.
Dragon: What?
Mya: I've found somewhere that we can hang out and practice! I found the come and go room, also known as the Room of Requirement! All you have to do is walk past it three times and think of what you want it to turn into!
Dragon: That's great Mya! I read about that in Hogwarts: A History! We can meet up there tomorrow evening. I think Wood has booked Harry in for another Training session (That guy is Crazy!) So we won't do anything about becoming Animagi without him there. We can just hang out just the two of us ;)
Mya: Oh that's a shame about Harry, I was hoping we could start the transformations now. Oh well. I suppose we could hang out. That is if you can get away?
Dragon: Of course I can get away princess. Am I or am I not a Malfoy?
Mya: Oh right how could I forget. Anyway I'm going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.
Dragon: Night Mya x
The next day I spent my morning with Harry and explained to him about the Room of Requirement. He was gutted that he couldn't come tonight but wished us to have fun all the same. When it came to us parting ways I gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek and headed off to the seventh floor to the room of Requirement. I paced outside the wall 3 times thinking 'I need a safe place to hide and relax with Draco, where no one but Harry, Dad and Dumbledore can find us.' When I looked back at the wall the door appeared. I smiled and checked around me to see if anyone was there and then walked in.
The room was exactly like it was yesterday so I grabbed a book and stretched out on the sofa waiting for Draco. I didn't have to wait long. Soon the door opened and Draco's head popped in. "Hey Princess, long time no see" He then proceeded to come over to me and sit on my legs
"Get off me you fat lump!" I wriggled my legs underneath him and then managed to kick him off to the floor. He gave a small yelp then glared at me. "Hey! I'll have you know that I am not a fat lump!" He then got off the floor and sat back on the sofa this time I put my legs on top of him. "Awh I'm so sorry I bruised your enormous ego Dragon" He just mock glared at me. "So how has your week been anyway?" He said while absent-mindlessly stroking my legs. "Oh you know, the usual. Ron hating our guts, planning pranks on him with Fred and George, doing homework, Studying to become animagus. Not much really" Draco's eyes darkened at the mention of Ron. "I don't see why you won't tell your dad what he called you Mya!" I sighed. "Because Dragon! If I told him, he would get angry. Then he would get even angrier because he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He can't exactly go storming up to Ron shouting 'HOW DARE YOU CALL MY DAUGHTER A MUDBLOOD!' can he? And besides you know that word doesn't actually effect me because I'm not a muggle born, I'm a half blood. It was just the fact that a Weasley actually used that word and that it was spoken by someone who I used to class as a friend." Draco lent in closer to me and held my hand. "I know Princess. It just makes me angry that I can't do anything about it. I can't believe that Pratt used to fancy you though! Imagine what a terrible boyfriend he would be!"
"Ergh don't even get me started on that! Besides, he never had a chance." I then looked to Draco. "He's not my type." Draco smirked then lent closer into me so that I could feel his breath on my ear. He then whispered "Oh yeah Mya. And what might your type be?" I felt a slight blush rise at my cheeks.
"Oh please, like I would tell you that!"
Hoped you enjoyed it! please don't forget to leave a review as they make me so so Happy!
See you next time!
