Coldhearted
Lurking in the doorway was a cloaked figure. A dementor. It made the entire room feel like a freezer, Wren was the only one here who hadn't experienced the terrifying creature, in fact, she hadn't been warned of them. She froze in place and stared with wide eyes at the creature. "Professor..?" Fred trailed off. "Right, right...Expectro Patronom!" Snape pointed his wand at the creature, which in turn let out a hiss and left. Cold sweat dripped down all four's foreheads. Severus turned the Weasley twins, but they were gone. "What?!" He looked furious. Just then someone else walked in the door. Remus Lupin. "Hello Severus. I saw the dementor, and thought maybe you needed some.." Lupin lifted a bar of chocolate.
"No, I don't need anything from you, Lupin." Snape spat the last word. Lupin tilted his head a bit to view Wren. "And her?" He asked. "She's fine!" Snape snapped back. Wren felt a lump form in her throat. This is one of those times she wished she could stand up to her father. One of the times he was being a prick and she was too scared to tell him. "Well, Wren, if you need any, my office is always open for students, anytime." Lupin offered a smile and left the potions room. Snape turned on his heel to face his daughter, his black robes swishing around him. "You are not to visit that man outside of class, okay?" She shrugged at this. "K."
Lunch at the Slytherin table was anything but quiet. Apparently news spread quickly, and Draco was telling all of their table how the Weasleys were illegally selling love potions, and should be sent to Azkaban. "I mean think about it! The first years couldn't study because of them." Draco scoffed, and many other Slytherins nodded. Pansy Parkinson dramatically put her hand on her chest, as if holding her heart, except the girl was placing her hand on the wrong spot. "Pansy, your heart is on the left side of your chest." Wren pointed this out. Pansy glared at Wren threateningly. "So what? I knew that." Pansy quickly changed her hand to the left side of her chest, which send laughter across the Slytherin table.
Draco looked past Pansy and at Wren. "Wren, I heard you came face to face with a dementor, and didn't know what it was." He said. Her brows furrowed. "Not my fault these people didn't tell me." She replied. Pansy turned to Draco to keep his attention on her. "Draco, have you come face to face with a..well those creepy things?" She asked, excitedly. Draco smirked and for affect, lowered his voice. "I did, scared the hell out of it." He replied. Ron, who happen to be passing, disagreed aloud. "Did not. My brothers said you were terrified." Pansy glared at him. "Draco isn't scared of anything!" She replied. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Go away Ron, you're supposed to be with the Gryffindors." Wren reminded him. "I'm just trying to point out a liar!" Ron argued. "How dare you Weasley! My father will hear of this!" Draco snapped. "Oh I'm terrified!" Ron said, waving his hands around. "Go away Ron." Wren said again. "Why the hell would I listen to you Snape?" He asked. Draco stood, along with Crab and Goyle. "Leave Weasley. No one wants you here and the Professors will be pissed you're starting a fight." Draco growled. "I didn't start it! You're the liar!" He snapped back. "You're the one who came over even though you should be minding your own business!" Wren snapped. "Whatever." Ron muttered, walking away. Draco sat along with Crab and Goyle. "What a pain in the neck."

Moon watched a rather ticked off Ron approach the Gryffindor table. "What happened?" She asked. "Draco was lying." He growled, sitting next to Harry. "Oh come on Ron, you shouldn't be listening in on others." Hermione said, picking at her food. "And Draco is always lying." Harry pointed out. "So no one agrees with me?!" Ron asked, exasperated. Moon shrugged. "I mean, I think it's fine to point out someone is lying." She replied, buttering a scone. Ron looked proud. "Exactly." "I hate those dementors." Neville brought up, possibly the least favorite subject here. "Oh they're just trying to protect us." Hermione said. "Is making us feel like we're in a nightmare protecting us?" Ron asked.
"I haven't encountered one." Moon admitted. Harry nodded. "That's good, they're freaky." "Do we eventually learn anything fun in defense against the dark arts?" Moon asked. Ron rolled his eyes. "Yeah you'll face the boggort and reveal your greatest fear which could be very personal." He replied, nodding his head. "I'm pretty sure spiders is not that personal." Moon replied with a smile. Ron raised his eyebrows. "You're scared of spiders?" He asked. She nodded nervously. "Thank Merlin! I hate those little demons!" He exclaimed. She shone him a big smile and nodded in agreement. "They're horrid." "Anyways, have you all finished the essay for Astronomy?" Hermione asked, flipping through multiple pages pinned together with a magical spell that could unpin at any given time. "What essay?" Ron asked. Harry sighed.
Moon and Hermione turned to Ron. "The essay. The one due this evening." They said in sync, both exasperated. "Oh." He said softly. Harry sighed. "Yeah I finished, one page, Astronomy is kinda boring." He shrugged. "Is not! I wrote five pages!" Hermione said, slapping the essay pages together. "I can't even write that much for school. I barely got in two pages." Moon noted, her eyes wandering around. Suddenly she heard cheering. The group leaned forward and caught site of the commotion. Pansy and Wren were standing in a hall glaring at each other. "What in Hogwarts?" Harry muttered. A crowd was quickly gathering around and Pansy said something inaudible go the group, which made cheers rocket throughout the crowd. Wren took a threatening step towards Parkinson and yelled at her. "Shut up you fucking brat!"
