Chapter 11: Dogs, Fights, and Hospital

It was a cold morning as the Hogwarts train went on toward the new school year. New students had entered and as the Slytherin group walked down the halls, they failed to find an empty compartment. One after the other, first years were squished in.

"I hate you all" Draco hissed to the first years.

Angel smirked and shook her head opening another compartment.

"Here's one" she said.

"But it's not ours" Draco whined.

Angel glared and slid in sitting down. She hated when he acted like the spoiled brat that he was. To her all compartments were the same. Pansy followed behind smirking at Draco and patting the opposite bench. He begrudgingly sat down and as Blaise, Goyle and Crabbe sat down, they locked it tight.

"Finally" Blaise sighed. "I was getting tired of going one after the other, if Draco wasn't so damn picky-"

"Shut up" Draco muttered annoyed.

Angel rolled her eyes and looked out the window. It was her second year and a lot had changed for her. After the previous years' events, she hadn't slept very well and she had become dependent on the sleeping draught.

As they argued she rubbed her temples annoyed. Sometimes she wished she was a only child and as she felt a pat on her knee she noticed Pansy felt the same way. She smirked in return and she leaned against the wall.

"Here this might entertain you" Pansy said handing her the paper.

Angel raised her eyebrow.

"I read" Pansy exclaimed in an annoyed tone only to get a giggle from Angel.

Angel nudged her side and took the paper. As she unfolded the Daily Prophet her eyes met the angry face of a criminal. She read "Sirius Black" and everything around her was mute. Her eyes were no longer on the text but on the man himself. He was an insane man that was for sure he continued to scream and look all around as they took the picture. She shivered at the picture and opened the newspaper forcing herself to look away. She began to read about the new laws, but she decided in reading the gossip column.

A few minutes later she fell into a deep slumber, for once not induced from the draught. Her subconscious reminded her of what her parents had talked about but a few days before today.

Flashback…

It was around two in the morning and she was woken up once more in her unsuccessful attempts to sleep without the draught. It seemed that whenever she tried to pull away from the habit, her body refused to accept it. Angel sat up and sighed looking around her dark room. Her balcony was locked and the curtain preventing the moonlight to enter.

She pulled off her covers and slipped on her silk slippers to get a little vial of the draught that her Uncle had left her in the kitchens. She opened her door as little as possible to avoid the squeak; it seemed no matter how pristine they kept the manor, the doors showed its age. Slipping out of her room, she walked lazily down her stairs. She never really cared if anyone heard her, and almost no one could with her slippers, but her mind finally caught up with her the moment she heard an argument.

Her eyes opened and blinked a few times to realize her surroundings. Her parents never fought, and if they did, it was a rarity in itself. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she walked quietly towards his office, the idea of the draught long forgotten.

"He's escaped" she heard her mother hiss out.

Her expression grew to one of confusion as she heard them talk in panicked whispers. Who escaped?

"It is of no matter to us Cissa" her father drawled out.

She heard her mother get closer to her father. She had an idea; she got on her knees and stared into the room through the peephole. She wondered why were they arguing, but she wasn't going to leave unless she knew it all.

"Damn it Lucius, Sirius escaped." she cried out. "How can we not worry?"

Lucius turned to face her frustrated and glared.

"He's your cousin Cissa, the Black family brings nothing but trouble" he glared.

Narcissa glared and she wrapped her hands around his wrist to stop him from walking away from their conversation. She needed to stand up and she demanded to be heard. He looked at her surprised by her action; she was always so submissive to his demands.

"Not this time Lucius" she whispered gripping his wrist tighter.

He tugged his wrist and place his hands on her shoulders to steady her. He looked down at the bright blue eyes that he had always relied on when he needed aid in anything. They now looked so worried and distraught over who they considered part of their daughter's past.

"Cissa…he won't get near the children" he said in a softer tone than before. "They'll be at

Hogwarts, and Dementors are being placed on the grounds for protection against the criminal, with Potter and all" he explained.

She nodded and her eyes watered, whether from relief or worry, Angel had no clue. He pulled her to his body and she instantly went to his side showing their devotion to one another in a time of worry. He shushed her as she wept and kissed her forehead softly.

Angel pushed away from the door. The sleep was completely gone and she needed the drought more than ever. Whoever this Sirius chap was , he was definitely dangerous and she would not forget that name.

End Flashback/Dream

Angel opened her eyes as she heard some commotion around her. She blinked a few times and as her surroundings were becoming clearer, before suddenly beginning to shiver. The train begin to shake and she heard her friends shrieking in surprise. She lurched forward and landed on the ground as Hogwarts Express seemed to shut down.

She groaned her cheek pressed to the ground and her bum in the air. She felt two pair of hands on her arms and she looked up to see Draco and Blaise helping her up. She muttered a thank you and she rubbed her arms after she was helped up.

"I'm cold" she whispered

She was surprised to see her breath fogging up in front of her. She turned to see her comrades in the same position, trying to warm themselves up. Looking out the window and was amazed at how cold it seemed; it was far too early in the year for the change in weather. Ice had formed in front of the window and as she touched it, she had to pull back.

"Blood hell!" Goyle yelped and curled away from the doors. All the eyes landed on the door to see that the lock had frozen up. They huddled close and as the door opened she saw nothing but darkness. Immediately her brother turned her, to hide her face at the crook of his neck, as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Dementors" he whispered.

Curiosity got the best of her and as she heard him utter what the darkness was, her eyes trailed carefully towards the entrance. They looked like dark spirits, and she felt Draco tightened his hold on her; she knew he was frightened as well. She felt her gaze suddenly was becoming hazy. She closed her eyes briefly feeling herself having a harder time breathing. And then a bright light headed the direction of the dementor pushing him away from the entrance. Draco lifted his head to see a scared man looking at their direction.

He looked at him grateful for a second, but he noticed that the man's eyes had landed on his sister. He looked down to see her looking drowsy. He patted her cheek and her eyes fluttered open letting out a weak smile.

"I'm fine Drake" she groaned.

He helped her steady her feet and as he turned to thank the man, he noticed that his eyes were curiously studying his sister.

"Thank you sir" he said as politely as possible.

"No problem Mr. Malfoy" the mysterious man said.

Draco nodded and couldn't help but ask.

"How do you know my name sir?" he asked.

The man smiled and tilted his head.

"Who doesn't recognize the Malfoy trait" he replied simply.

Draco nodded feeling somewhat proud. His attention went towards his baby sister as she began to talk.

"Thank you once again Professor" she said.

It was his turn to look confused.

"Miss, how did you know that I was a professor?" he asked.

Angel smiled.

"You're dressed in your cloak that has the Hogwarts insignia" she replied shortly.

He chuckled and nodded.

"Very perceptive my dear Miss-" he stopped short confused.

"I'm a Malfoy as well" she replied.

He looked surprised but he masked it quickly.

"Of course…..I know see it" he commented uneasily. "Well good to meet the Malfoy children, I should be heading on my way"

"Wait" Draco called out. "What's your name professor?" he asked.

He merely smiled slightly.

"You'll see soon enough" he then walked away.

As he left, everyone began to check one another over making sure everyone was alright. Pansy complained that Blaise had 'broken' her wrist when he held her tightly and he complained that he should have thrown her at the Dementors since she was so unappreciative of his heroism. Draco in turn made sure that Angel was fine, so much so that his fussing made her slap his hands away. An argument was beginning to brew, that is until Astoria ran right into their compartment looking flushed. Her smirk was wide and her hair was waving all around.

"You will never guess what I just learned!" she squealed.

Amour pushed herself from her brother's embrace and looked at her curiously.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Potter totally fainted when a Dementor entered his compartment" she finished with a smirk.

Draco's lips widened considerably as if it was early Christmas.

"You may have just become my favorite person Greengrass." He began "You can go now"

She nodded enthusiastically and they were left alone.

They felt the train begin to move once more and they took their respective seats. Angel's eyes lead her to the floor where the newspaper was thrown on the side. She noticed that they had gone back to their conversations and she bent down and took the newspaper back in her hand.

She bit her lip in throught but before she could even start overthinking she simply placed the newspaper in her satchel. It seemed that that picture had clicked in her mind and she needed to observe it later, and read the story to know who this man was. He was not only a criminal, but he was part of her family…..her uncle as her father had said.

She leaned against Draco's shoulder and he allowed her, somewhat reluctantly. She smiled softly and fell into a light slumber once more. She wouldn't wake up till three hours later when they reached Hogwarts.

Hogwarts. She could not help but smile at seeing her second home. She entered the great hall without Draco. She walked alongside Pansy and as they sat down, Professor Dumbledore began to make his annual speech.

"Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now, I'd like to say a few words...before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast. First, I'm pleased to welcome. Professor R.J. Lupin...who's kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Good luck, professor."

Angel's eyes landed on the man who had saved them. She now knew his name, Professor Lupin. She was soon distracted as she wondered where Draco had run off to. Pansy walked over and tapped her shoulder.

"He's off teasing Potter" she sighed.

Angel felt slightly uncomfortable, but she decided to walk towards her brother's direction. As she reached him, she noticed that they were in the middle of an argument. He taunted Harry and she somehow felt bad and she didn't know why.

"Potter. Is it true you fainted? I mean, you actually fainted?"Draco told Harry smirking.

As Draco continued to taunt him, Harry's eyes lost focus and they landed on the other Malfoy. He could not help but let his eyes land on her, after all, not by a year ago she was the first contact he had with a girl. Hermione wasn't considered a girl in his eyes.

"Are you almost done Draco?" she whispered.

He felt a tug at his stomach that she had not even acknowledged him. His eyes never left her face but he noticed that she had refused to let their eyes meet.

"Potter, eyes here" Draco said.

Harry's eyes trailed away from her and onto the annoyed blond.

"Don't sully her with your four eyed vision" He hissed.

"Shove off, Malfoy." Harry replied.

Draco glared and before he could continue his maltreatment of Harry he was tugged by his sleeve.

"Come on Drake" she said. "Don't waste your time, come back to our table"

He nodded reluctantly and he went off towards the table. She turned to face the other direction and before she could leave, she heard him say.

"Hello to you too Angel"

She turned to see Harry surprised not only that he had the courage to gree her, but that he used her first name. Nodding slightly at his direction she tried to calm down her pink cheeks.

"Hello and goodbye" she whispered.

She walked away and Harry reluctantly turned to face his friends once more.

"How did he find out?" Ron asked.

"Just forget it." Hermione said patting his cheek.

"Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher...has decided to retire...in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce...that his place will be taken by none other...than our own Rubeus Hagrid." Dumbledore continued to make his speech.

Most of the other houses began to clap, except for Slytherin who looked absolutely annoyed. She remembered Hagrid well, he looked unfriendly at her direction her first year she would never forget that.

"Finally, on a more disquieting note at the request of the Ministry of Magic Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban until such a time as Sirius Black is captured."

Angel looked down at her satchel at the name. She had failed not notice that Dumbledore was staring at her direction as her surname was mentioned. She felt her stomach drop at the name for it related to her family.

'How shameful' she thought.

"The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They'll not distinguish...between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving." Dumbledore's voice dropped as he mentioned the creatures.

Harry shivered at the mention of dementors. He noticed that Angel herself was shivering and their eyes met. Her brown eyes met his bright green/blue eyes and they both looked away ignoring the moment that had just occurred.

" But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." He smiled at the end of his speech.

Next Day…

Angel walked into the common room with a face of utmost annoyance at her face. She ignored the looks of curiosity from her friends as she slammed the books down.

"What happened?" Draco asked not really caring.

She turned to face him and sighed.

"Luna-" she began.

"Who?" Draco interrupted.

"Loony" Pansy replied before she could answer.

Angel glared at being interrupted.

"Go on" Blaise said in a blasé tone.

"Well, she was teaching me something about tea that her friends in Ravenclaw were teaching her and-"

"Why would you hang out with Loony?" Draco asked annoyed. "She's a Ravenclaw"

Angel opened her mouth to reply when.

"They are potion partners this year too" Pansy replied.

Angel stopped her floor.

"Silencio" she hissed with her wand and they all were silenced.

"Anyway, as I was saying" she said pleased. "I got this green dog. The oddest professor walked up and interrupted us telling us that 'my dear you have the Grim'" her voice rose to immitate Professor Trelawney. "The form of a giant spectral dog, it's among the darkest omens in our world. It's an omen of death. I've never been so annoyed or embarrassed."

Draco began to shake in laughter. She couldn't hear it but she was annoyed just the same.

"I loathe you all" she said walking away.

Draco glared and began to chase her for he could not say anything. Pansy and Blaise looked at one another and sighed knowing that they had to go to Madame Pomfrey. As they left, they heard a shriek and a ranting coming from Draco, they walked towards them and trying to get the spell reversed.

Hours later…

After getting Angel to reverse the spell Draco and his group of friends were off to Care of Magical Creatures while she was headed to DADA.

"That's it. Come on, now. Come closer. Less talking, if you don't mind, I got a real treat for you today; a great lesson. So follow , you lot. Less chattering, form a group over there and open your books to page-"Hagrid said excitedly.

"Exactly how do we do that?" Ron asked.

"Just stroke the spine, of course." Hagrid said rolling his eyes. "Goodness me."

"Don't be such a wimp, Longbottom." Draco called from the back of Neville.

"I'm okay. Okay." Neville said shyly.

"God, this place has gone to the dogs. Wait until Father hears Dumbledore's got this oaf teaching classes." Draco told Goyle.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry hissed hearing their conversation.

"Dementor! Dementor!" Draco and his goons taunted.

" Just ignore him. You're supposed to stroke it." Hermione cooed.

"Yeah." Harry repeated.

"Isn't he beautiful? Say hello to Buckbeak." Hagrid began.

"Hagrid, exactly what is that?" Ron asked curiously.

"That, Ron, is a hippogriff. First thing you wanna know is they're very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may be the last thing you ever do. Now, who'd like to come and say hello?"Hagrid said.

Unbeknownst to Harry everyone in class took a step back leaving him as the one to volunteer.

"Well done, Harry. Well done. Come on now. Now you have to let him make the first move."Hagrid cheered.

Harry sighed at his bad luck and did as told.

"It's only polite. So step up. Give him a nice bow. Then you wait and see if he bows back. If he does, you can go and touch him." Hagrid explained. "and see if he bows back. If he does, you can go and touch him. If not... well, we'll get to that later. Just make your bow, nice and low."

Harry stepped forward and bowed never looking Buckbeak directly in the eye. He felt his body tense as he did so feeling vulnerable.

"Back off, Harry. Back off" He heard Hagrid as Buckbeak raised his hooves at him. "Keep still, keep done, Harry, well done. Here, you big brute, you." He finished throwing a ferret at Buckbeak.

Harry tensed and curled away frightened.

"Right. I think you can go and pat him now. Go on. Don't be shy" Hagrid said patting Harry's back.

Hagrid did as told and he began to stroke him nervously.

"Not so fast, Harry. Slow down, Harry. That's it, nice and slow. Now let him come to you. Well done! Well done, Harry, well done!"Hagrid clapped his hands.

"Does he get to fly?" Harry asked.

"I think he may let you ride him now." Hagrid replied.

Harry looked confused.

"What?" he asked.

As he flew up in the air, Draco rolled his eyes.

"Damn Potter and loving to be in the spotlight. That git" he muttered.

As Harry landed Draco knew it was his time to go ahead and show Harry his place.

"You're not dangerous at all, are you, you great ugly brute!" Draco said walking towards the

creature in a strut.

Harry's eyes widened.

"Malfoy no!" Harry warned.

"No!" Hagrid ordered.

Buckbeak began to stand on his hind legs and threw Draco on the ground. Draco fell and groaned in pain.

"It's killed me!" Draco cried out.

Pansy screamed and began to rush towards DADA to get the news to Angel.

"Calm down. It's just a scratch!" Hagrid yelled.

"Hagrid!" Hermione cried. "He needs to be taken to the hospital"

Hagrid nodded stiffly.

"I'll do it" he told Blaise as he bent down to pick Draco up. "I'm the teacher"

"You're going to regret this" Draco said tiredly.

"Class dismissed!" Hagrid yelled.

"You and your bloody chicken!" he added weakly.

DADA

Angel was using the spells that Professor Lupin was teaching. She smiled victorious as she managed to disarm Weaselette. She received a glare from the redhead and she was then patted on the back. As she looked up, she noticed that it was Lupin himself praising her.

"Amazing….haven't had anyone get the spell right the first time since…..well my school days" he commented.

Angel looked at him with bright eyes.

"Really? Who were they?"she asked.

Remus chuckled.

"She was in Slytherin actually, her name was Amorette" he said with a fond smile.

"And the other" she asked.

Remus looked away and shook his head.

"I don't seem to remember" he said weakly.

She nodded and he merely patted her head and went off to look at the other students.

Suddenly the door opened and she turned immediately to see Pansy looking frantic.

"Miss Parkinson-" Remus said.

"Angel!" she yelled "Draco's been hurt!"

Angel looked wide-eyed and before Remus could dismiss her she was running off with Pansy towards the Hospital wing.

"Wait…." Remus said sighing.

It seemed class dismissed for the little Slytherin. He couldn't help but think that it was weird how the only two people that got that spell right were similar to her situation. Amorette was Slytherin and had the same type of wand, Elder wood, as it did for her, while Sirius…he was her uncle. He shook his head and continued the lesson.
