Christmas came and went, with barely anything happening. Once again, Mia found herself spending it at Hogwarts after turning down Ginny's offer to join her at the burrow, not wishing to feel like she was intruding. It wasn't all that bad though, as Draco decided against going home for the holiday as well. It was no surprise when Slytherin's Prince had gotten her another charm for the bracelet, this time a wand that shot tiny sparks out when touched.
The bracelet in question was currently jingling around the third year's wrist. Once again she was slightly late with trying to meet Draco, but this time she could at least blame it on professor Sprout; who had kept her in after class to go over some work she hadn't fully completed thanks to the damned blonde. Why was knowing about guilyweed ever going to be useful anyway? With that in mind, Mia jogged up to the entrance hall, pulling her hair back into a pony-tail to keep it out of her eyes before slowing her pace as she spotted the familiar damned head of hair.
"I know, I'm sorry" she started before he could even open his mouth. She didn't need another complaining lecture about being on time for the fourth time that week.
"If we miss the show now, you're in serious trouble". Draco warned, as he began walking out to the grounds. Mia just rolled her eyes however, following him and the dogs outside. She wasn't sure what the 'show' was, but she already knew there was no point in questioning it yet. A sarcastic response was bound to be the only reply.
They came to a stop once they'd crossed the bridge- which the little third year hated, it was just too long and high up for its own good in her opinion, and now stood at the top of the hill leading down to Hagrids hut. She frowned as she took in the view before her, not quite believing it. A man was stood in all black, even covering his face. An axe of sorts was held in one hand which he appeared to be sharpening. Buckbeak- whom Draco was starring daggers at currently, was tied up on the opposite side of the hut, chasing the few birds that dared land near him.
"Father and the minister of magic will be here shortly to make sure it all goes ahead" Draco said, snapping Mia out of the trance she was in watching the axe. His voice portrayed no emotion at the vile man making an appearance. Maybe he'd just become immune to it.
"This is barbaric" the dark haired girl stated, moving to lounge against one of the huge stones the three others were crouched behind. At least she couldn't see what would happen from where she stood. Although she could see Harry, Ron and Hermione rushing out of the bridge, all looking furious.
"Look" She instructed to the blonde, as the three got closer. He had just enough time to turn and comment with,
"Ah, come to see the show?" before the muggleborn began to shout insults at him, of which Mia didn't actually object.
"You! You fowl mouthed evil little cockroach!" she shouted, pulling her wand from her pocket and pressing it to Draco's neck, who had now backed up against the stone and was whimpering slightly. Vaguely Mia heard Harry yell 'no', though all her attention was on the blonde. Surely she wouldn't do anything, she wouldn't risk getting expelled. Though that still wasn't stopping the Slytherin's mind from racing of ideas on how to get Hermione away from him. Luckily they seemed to be on the same wavelength, as she finally lowered her wand and started to walk away. Unfortunately Draco- stupidly, decided to start laughing, which caused Hermione to turn back around and punch him right in the nose. Mia sighed as all three boys ran off back in the direction of the school, following them though at a slower pace.
"Well you walked into that one didn't you" she called, getting flipped off from the blonde with a possible broken nose.
