Cornish pixies
(Y/N) POV
I woke up early but I'm not feeling good. You know whatever happened yesterday was not good. Professor McGonagall might have send letter to my parents they won't be happy about it but I'll try to explain them and i know they will hear about it but i still don't know why my head was paining this badly but i still have classes I can't miss them.
So i got up from my bed did my business and got ready as i got out of bathroom Hermione was already awake when she saw me she told me to wait for her and went inside of the bathroom for getting ready. I sat down on my bed hoping my day won't be too bad as I'm already not feeling well. After 20 minutes she came out and we left for the class which was of Professor Sprout.
Professor Sprout is dumpy little witch with flyaway grey hair who wears a patched, frayed hat and shabby robes, often covered in dirt due to the time she spends tending plants in the greenhouses.
"Good morning, everyone." professor sprout said as she came in the greenhouse the house was already filled with noise. We share this class with Slytherin as well but i don't like it, i want to stay away from them as much as i can.
"Good morning, Professor Sprout." we all said in unison.
"Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Gather around, everyone." she said and i was excited for this class. Hell i like Herbology. I felt as if someone was staring at me at first i decided to ignore it but after sometime i decided to look for it. I scanned around all the student at last i saw at my front Draco was looking straight at me and when i looked he gave me a quick smile and everted his gaze, i found a hand on my wrist and i looked at it and i already knew whose hand was it i looked at the person standing beside me none other than harry, he was glaring at draco , i guess he saw that.
"It's okay" i said as i reassured him that he meant no harm. He looked at me and i smiled lightly he calmed immediately.
"Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes. Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" as we all looked at the strange looking plant that was sitting at the table infront of us and as always Hermione's hand shoot up even i knew about it but i chose to stay quite.
"Yes, Miss Granger?" professor said.
"Mandrake, or Mandragora......is used to return those who have been Petrified to their original state. lt's also quite dangerous. The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it." she explained. Oh what do you expect from her she is a bookworm.
"Excellent. Ten points to Gryffindor." professor said and we already can see that proud smile on her face.
"As our Mandrakes are still only seedlings......their cries won't kill you yet. But they could knock you out for several hours, which is why l have given you earmuffs......for auditory protection. So could you please put them on, right away? Quickly." she said and we quickly put it as none of us were ready to be knocked out.
"Flaps tight down, and watch me closely." she instructed as she pulled her gloves down adjusting it perfectly.
"You grasp your Mandrake firmly." she grasped the mandrake's upper part.
"You pull it sharply up out of the pot. Got it?" and then she pulled it out and i swear my ear drum would have been explode by that horrible cry.
" And......now you dunk it down into the other pot.....and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm." she put that mandrake into another pot and pour the soil as she said, and suddenly we heard a loud thud and guess who was on the ground. If your guess was Neville then you are damn right.
"Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs." professor said. Why the hell every time something happens its always with Neville.
"No, ma'am, he's just fainted." Seamus said, who was standing beside neville.
"Yes, well, just leave him there. Right, on we go. Plenty of pots to go around." she said and ushered us to continue our work.
"Grasp your Mandrake and pull it up." we did as she told us but the crying noise just was too much to bare with and Malfoy was dumb enough to put his finger inside his mandrake and his finger got stuck inside its mouth all i could do was laugh. How the fuck does his brain work?.
~~THE GREAT HALL~~
"Say it. l'm doomed." ron said as he was trying to join his wand with tape. We are all sitting in the great hall.
"You're doomed." i said and laughed at his miseries while the others snickered.
"Shut up you idiot" he replied glaring at me while i gave him a look.
"Hi, Harry." suddenly a small boy came infront of harry and snapped his picture while harry was shocked due to it being out of blue.
"l'm Colin Creevey. l'm in Gryffindor too." he introduced himself.
"Hi, Colin, nice to meet you." harry greeted him smiling lightly. Oh boy how cute he looks like that. I blushed at this absurd thought of mine.
"Ron, is that your owl?" someone said i didn't paid attention to who it was...i was busy looking at harry.
"Bloody bird's a menace." i snapped out of my thought as Errol crashed into foods that was placed infront of us.
"Oh, no." i said as i saw a howler.
"Look, everyone. Weasley's got himself a Howler." Seamus said and Malfoy and his minions started laughing, as ron who panicking and i was scared as hell, it won't be good.
"Go on, Ron. l ignored one from my gran once. lt was horrible." Neville said and ron nervously started to open the letter.
"Ronald Weasley! How dare you steal that car! l am absolutely disgusted! Your father's now facing an inquiry at work......and it's entirely your fault! lf you put another toe out of line......we'll bring you straight home!" it growled right infront of ron's face while i was trying my best not to get too scared from it. It was scary as hell i swear, i never want to go through this situation as ron.
"And, Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and l are so proud." the howler turned towards ginny and said this while ginny put her head down embarrassed with it, again howler turned towards ron stuck its tongue out (which was ribbon of the letter) and teased ron, and shred itself into pieces.
~~ IN D.A.D.A CLASS~~
"Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Me. Gilderoy Lockhart......Order of Merlin, Third Class......honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League.....and five times winner......of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award." clownhead said as he stepped down the stairs and gave that shit smile of his while bluffing about himself, all i could do was roll my eyes how can someone be so full of themselves! oh i forgot Malfoy's. Even the classroom has his huge photo frame.
"But l don't talk about that. l didn't get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at him." He continued to bluff while showing his so called perfect smile to which i wanted to puck...
"l see you've all bought a complete set of my books. Well done. Now, l thought we'd start today with a little quiz." He said while picking some papers and i really felt like choking him to death, he really is testing my patience which is not much.
"Nothing to worry about. Just to check how well you've read them. How much you've taken in." He said while give us paper which Hermione took it more willingly because she was whipped for this clownhead, while i was thinking about different way in which i could murder him without getting caught.
"Look at these questions. They're all about him." Ron said as he was just behind hermione and i turned towards them while showing my displeasure about it as well.
''What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?''
''What is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?'' they started reading questions and i already didn't wanted to attend this awful quiz.
"You have 30 minutes. Start......now." he said after all paper were distributed and we started attempting it even though all i wanted to do was shred it into pieces and throw it on his face. 😈
~~ After 30 Min~~
"Hardly any of you remembered that my favorite color is lilac. But Miss Hermione Granger knew......that my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil......and market my own range of hair-care potions. Good girl." He prasied hermione as he was looking at our answers i randomly selected answers as i was not interested in that shit.
"Now, be warned. lt is my job to arm you......against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind." He said as he smacked his wand on a cage which was covered with a cloth so we couldn't see what actually was in it, as he smacked his wand the cage started to move on its on not actually move around but on its place.
"You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst l am here. l must ask you not to scream. lt might provoke them." He screamed the last word and i really wanted to smack him but then he removed the cloth and we saw cornish pixies which were screaming or making weird type of noise I don't know exactly what that was doing.
The Pixie was a small, bright blue, mischief-making magical beast.
"Cornish pixies?" Seamus said
"Freshly caught Cornish pixies." Clownhead replied and Seamus started to laugh seeing them.
"Laugh if you will, Mr. Finnegan......but pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters. Let's see what you make of them." And with it he opened the entrance of the cage and all pixies started to fill the room flying everywhere and all of us started to run wherever we could so won't come in contact with one of them. They were sitting on books, tearing its pages and then two of them picked Neville's either side of his ears and in a second he was in the air and then he was stucked in the chandelier.
"Come on now, round them up. They're only pixies." Clownhead said can't i just kill him he is annoying as fuck.
"Please, get me down!" Neville said as he was helplessly hanging on the chandelier.
"Get off me!" Hermione said as pixies started to Pull on her hair.
"Stop. Hold still!" Harry said as he took a book in his hand and swing it across the pixie that was pulling her hair.
"Peskipiksi Pesternomi!" Clownhead said the spell but before he could cast a spell pixie took his wamd away amd went high up where the dinosaur skeleton where many pixies where playing but the skeleton fell as the pixie pointed the wand towards the chain through which skeleton was hanging and that's when the uncasted spelling shot on the chain which caused the skeleton to fall and broke into pieces and everyone left the class as they were trying to get away from them as soon as possible. Clownhead tried to run away but the pixies snatched his photo from the wall, clownhead tried to catch it but was about to fell as he couldn't catch them.
"l'll ask you three to just nip the rest of them back into their cage." Clownhead said and ran away out the class.
"What do we do now?" I asked as i was really struggling with the pixies. One pixie grabbed my robe and i screamed as it was so sudden.
"Wait (y/n) I'll do something" harry said and grabbed my wrist, then pulled me towards him i stumbled upon my own feets and lost my balance fell on top of harry.
"Hey are you okay?" Harry asked and smiled without thinking too much i kissed him on his cheeks and as i realised what i just did i was red...i mean i could feel the blush rising on my skin and both of our eyes widen. That was so uncalled...fuck what just happened?
"Ah-i'm fi-fine" I quickly stood up and gave him my hand so he could stand as well but he was in some kind of trance i cleared my throat once again to gain his attention and it worked he quickly took my hand and stood up while his other hand went straight to where i just kissed him. Oh god why would i do something like that but my worries flew out the window as soon as i saw harry smiling lightly. We brushed the dust from our robes.
"lmmobulus!" Hermione cast the spell which made all the pixies to float in the air. I was beyond flustered by what happened just now.
"Why is it always me?" I heard Neville said as i was quickly heading out the room in hurry not because i was trying to run away from harry or anything but just needed some fresh air to think through.
