Chapter 23 – Back Again
A week had passed, and it was time to go back to Hogwarts. There had been another Order meeting the day before, Larissa and Harry, still had yet to uncover the mystery of Tonks' strange behaviour. They weren't concentrating on that at the moment though, they were too excited about going back to Hogwarts.
When ever they went back to school, after being at home, Larissa always felt conflicted. She was super excited to be going back, but then felt guilty about wanting to leave, because she then wouldn't see her parents for a while.
Normally the excitement won though, and soon they were sitting in a compartment, with Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, and Ginny, and they were waiting for Larissa's friends to join them.
After a while, they were all squashed into the compartment, and Hermione had Crookshanks on her lap (mainly to keep him away from Larissa, who still glared at him, every time she saw him,) and Snowbelle was moving from lap to lap, and was sleeping on Luna's at the moment.
They had to take it in turns to change into their robes, with six outside and six in changing, because when you squish twelve people into a compartment, and two cats, well...

After the feast, before Larissa went and grabbed Draco's sleeve
'What?' He snapped, and then realised that it was her
'Did you like your Christmas present?'
'Yeah! Thanks, did you like yours?'
Larissa frowned 'I didn't get mine.
'Wha-Oh! Oh, right, now I remember! I wanted to give it to you in person.' He said very quickly 'To see your reaction.'
Larissa smiled 'Night Dray,'
'Night Larissa,' He smiled at his new nickname, and walked out of the great Hall.

The next morning, Larissa had Care of Magical Creatures with the Ravenclaws.
'Hagrid!' Larissa shouted, running over to him
'Hello Larissa,'
'Where've you been? What happened to you?' She asked worriedly, looking up at his face, that was bleeding, cut and bruised all over.
'Did Harry tell yeh? Where I wen'?' He whispered, bending down
'Yes, you've only just got back?' she whispered back. Hagrid nodded. 'And they did this to you?' She said softly
'Erm, no, not exactly...' he replied vaguely, 'class is starting now anyways, I'll talk to yeh later, bring Harry, Ron, and Hermione with yeh.'
'Okay Hagrid.'

They went down to visit Hagrid later that evening, only to find Professor Umbridge, there.
'I am ordering you to tell me where you've been.' She said
'I told you, I've been away for me health. Bit o' fresh air,'
'Yes, as Game Keeper, fresh air must be awfully difficult to come by.' She replied curtly. She came out of the door, and sprayed some of her sickly sweet perfume around the door, making Ron gag.
They went inside Hagrids hut, and he made them a cup of tea, then they all sat down at Hagrids round table.
'Did you find the Giants?' Harry asked
'Yeah,' they questioned him further, but didn't get many answers, he seemed reluctant to tell them.
'Come on Hagrid!' Ron said, 'You tell us about the Giants, and Hary'll tell you how he was attacted by Dementors.'
Hagrid choked into his tea, and dropped the steak that he was holding over his eye onto the floor 'Whaddya mean?!' he asked 'Yeh're not serious?'
'Yeah, two of them showed up in Little Winging, and then the Ministry expelled me,'
'WHAT? You we're expelled?'
'Tell us about your summer, and I'll tell you about mine.'
A/N: I would have done Hagrids tale, but... I didn't want to copy it out of the book cause that would've been boring...
I hope you liked it
