CHAPTER 5: Hagrids Hut

“10 points from Gryffindor.”

Violet looked up from her Potions book at Snape. “For what? All I'm doing is sitting here!” She said exasperatedly. “You are blocking the corridor, Miss Black. Now move before I give you a detention.” He said in a cold, monotone voice.

“There is five feet right there!” She gestured at the open hallway. “Just go around!”

“Detention tonight.” He said gliding swiftly around her. She crossed her arms, leaning back against the stone wall. “Now was that so hard?” She mumbled picking up her book again.

Violet was tired of the loudness of the common room, so she decided to study in the corridor near the Great Hall, not her best choice. Ever since the night before in the Hospital Wing, Snape had been particularly cold to her. To both of their astonishment, Snape had yelled at her for asking a simple question to Draco. She stormed out of the class, livid, after he took 50 points for “being insignificant”.

They had double Potions again today, Friday, with the Slytherins, so she had missed most of the second half. The only thing she had to look forward to was meeting Hagrid that afternoon.

She groaned, realizing she had to get up, and slammed her book down. “My first week and I'm already in a bad mood.” She grumbled, getting up and heading towards the Gryffindor common room.

Violet realized something as she walked through the portrait; she hadn’t written to Abbey all week. “She'll be furious!” She exclaimed to the surprise of the small crowd in the room.

“Harry! Ron! Here, sign this, and write a small note. I forgot to write to my friend and she's going to kill me!” Violet rambled on, handing them a piece of parchment out of her bag.

“Who's Ab-Oh!” Ron's ears went pink as he remembered the scene she caused at his house. “Yes Ron, that Abbey.” She laughed and he wrote his name and a little note. Next was Harry, “She's the one that we would sometimes go swimming with, remember?” She told him when he looked at her questioningly. “Oh, yeah.” He said signing the paper.

“Thanks! And want to come with me then we can go down to Hagrid's?” She asked dropping her bag on one of the chairs. They both nodded and she smiled. “Okay, lets go then!” Violet said and took off towards the owlrey.

“Take this to Saint Mary's Orphanage in Surrey and give this to Abbey. Thank you Lynx!” Violet called as the barn owl took flight. “Okay, are we ready?” She asked the boys standing near the stairs. “Yeah, lets get going.” Ron said.

They walked down to Hagrid's hut at around 3:00. Harry stepped up and knocked on the door, hearing baring from inside. “Back Fang- back!” Hagrid shouted from inside. He let them in, struggling to keep a hold of Fang's collar.

“Here, I've got him.” Violet said hugging the large dog around the neck. “I've always loved animals.” She said smiling. “Fang's really likes firs' years. 'Specially you it would seem.” He said.

“Make yerselves at home,” Hagrid said, watching Fang as he went to lick Ron's face. “This is Ron,” Harry said pointing to the ginger. “Another Weasley? I spent half me life chasin' your twin brothers away from the forest.” Hagrid said, offering them rock cakes. “And this is Pur- oops. Violet.” Harry corrected himself with a smile.

Violet raised an eyebrow and went back to attempting to bite into one of the rock cakes. She decided it was better not to break a tooth and risk another trip to the infirmary and now was pretending to enjoy them while petting Fang.

Around twenty minutes later they were walking back to the castle, weighed down heavily by the rock cakes they were too polite to refuse.

The next morning they had flying lessons with Madame Hooch. Violet was having an inner battle with herself as she wanted to see Harry get the Remembrall like a snitch,but she was so tired and she could just learn how to fly from the twins and Oliver.

In the end she decided to go, and set off to where they were being held. Violet stood next to Ron and waited until Madame Hooch arrived.

“Well what are you all waiting for?” She barked. “Everyone stand by a broomstick, come on, hurry up! Stick your right hand over your broom and say 'Up!'” She called, and everyone tried. Violet noticed that Harry's broom went into his hand on the first try and she kept going. “Up!” She shouted for the third time, and it went into her hand.

When everyne had a broomstick in hand, Madame Hooch called, “When I blow my whistle, you will all kick off from the ground, hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and come back down.” She was about to blow her whistle and Neville kicked off.

He kept rising further and further up until he slipped and landed with a 'THUD' on the ground. Violet looked at him with a look of sympathy as he was taken to the Hospital Wing, and everyone was told to stay put.

And here it comes. Violet thought as the Slytherin's burst into laughter.

“Did you see his face, the great lump?” Draco laughed.

“Shut up, Malfoy.” Parvati Patil snapped at him. “Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom? Never thought you'd like fat little crybabies, Parvati.” Pansy Parkinson taunted.

“Look!” Draco raced forward and grabbed Neville's Remembrall off the grass. “It's that stupid thing Longbottom's gran sent him.”

“Give that here, Malfoy.” Harry said quietly. Everyone now turned to watch- whatever was about to happen. Draco smiled menacingly. “I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find – how about- up a tree?”

Draco climbed on his broomstick and flew up high.

“Draco! Get back down here!” Violet called back up with a glare as Harry mounted his broom.

Neither boys relented so she sat back with a groan, passing the time by cleaning off her gasses on her robes.
