Kapitel 135: First lesson Pt.1
"Good morning!"
"So assuming you're here... means you got a pass from your brothers or what?"
"Ye-Well not really." Ginny said, "Mom and Dad sent me a letter, saying they were okay with me being in Slytherin and they would be proud of me wherever I was and they said the same things you told me as well... but Percy and Ron seem to have some problems with it-- I am sorry, I talked a bit too much."
"It's okay." Draco shook his head, "You're heading towards the hall, aren't you? Let's go together then."
"I am sorry, I have some extra work to do, so I'll be off then." Ginny nervously shook her head, she was about to leave but she suddenly stopped and turned around again, "By the way, are those rumors about you true?"
"What rumors?"
"The one where you declared that you won't attend Lockhart's classes anymore."
"Rumors do spread fast around Hogwarts, huh!" Draco said sighing, "Yea, it true... And don't worry about it, nothings going to happen if that's what you're concerned about." Draco was sure where this conversation was leading up to so he decided to get straight to the point.
"Are you sure?" She asked as if she wanted some reassurance.
"Yeah."
"Well, see you later then." Saying that she stormed off, Draco didn't know what was going on with her but he chose to ignore it.
Down in the hall, everyone was looking at Draco differently. The teachers weren't present in the hall at the time but you could tell by everyone's look that something was going down. Ignoring all their gazes, Draco walked towards the Slytherin table and sat beside Theodore and Daphne.
"You don't seem concerned." Theodore said looking at Draco who was fixing himself a good sandwich, "Everyone already knows about the fiasco that went down yesterday."
"I know, I met Ginny in the common room and she knew about it too." Draco said without a worry in the world, "Besides I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, I am surprised it took this long, by the way, where are the professors?"
"They were here at the beginning but left after an owl came for them." Pansy answered instead of Theodore, "McGonagall didn't look pleased with it at all."
Draco nodded taking a huge bite of his sandwich when suddenly Hermione came from behind knocking him on the head.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Draco said looking back, rubbing his head.
"Why did you have to do it?" Hermione said folding her arms, "You know, I heard Lockhart filed a complained against you with the school board."
"Oh! Where did you get that information?" Draco was interested in how Hermione managed to get that sort of information when even he hadn't heard of it.
"I was walking towards the hall with Harry and Ron when Harry was suddenly dragged away by Lockhart into his office." She said, "In there Harry found a letter which was written by Lockhart complaining about your actions in the classroom yesterday, wanting you to be expelled from Hogwarts. Harry said, that he send the letter away right in front of him."
"Cool."
"Cool? That's all you have to say... you're getting expelled for god's sake." Hermione said getting a bit angry.
"Don't worry about it." Draco said rolling his eyes, "If he wants a fight then I'll give him one and besides half of the members of the school board will support me so you really don't have to worry so much."
"But..."
"Sigh! Even though I might've acted irrationally, I still have the power to back it up and you know that." Draco said, "Lockhart doesn't have the right to teach us anything, he doesn't have the right to teach me anything, also I suspected something like this might happen so I've already sent a letter to my father explaining him about the things that went down in detail. And for the third time, Don't worry. Trust me, I've got it. Look at Pansy and Daphne, they don't really worry much because they trust me enough and that's what I need you to do as well."
Hermione stayed silent for a while as she sighed and started walking away.
"You're not still mad at me, are you?" Draco called out.
"No, I'm just hungry," Hermione said walking towards the Gryffindor's table.
"So, What are you going to teach today?" Pansy asked changing the topic, seeing Draco's face she already understood that he was tired of talking about this topic already, "All the Slytherins in our class are excited about it."
"It's not going to be something complicated, I will start teaching spells, which will be necessary for them to pass the exams first." Draco said, "I can't have them failing their exams with me teaching them. So we'll go around that first, then after that, I'll start teaching them some real spells."
"Will you be able to?" Pansy asked
"Don't worry, this guy will be enough for the basics." Draco said patting Theodore, who brushed of Draco's hand looking at him weirdly.
"Again, what are you guys talking about?"
"You'll know soon." Draco said shrugging his shoulders.
Surprisingly the class went good as usual. Some of the professors just ignored Draco as if he wasn't there and some like McGonagall kept staring at him as if they want to say something but didn't. And since Draco didn't have his wand, there weren't any reasons for the teachers to talk to him either. It was the end of the potion class when Snape suddenly asked Draco to stay.
Theodore and the others looked at Draco since after this they had their club activities. Draco whispered something in Theodore's ear as he nodded and went out with the rest of the people, leaving Draco and Snape alone in the lab alone.
"Okay I know I messed up and I know the consequences but I can handle the situation, so you don't have to worry about me." Draco said in a lazy tone, he was already tired of telling everyone the same thing as everyone asked him the same questions.
Snape snorted looking at him, narrowing his eyes, "You do know that this could get you expelled right? Even though I don't like Lockhart, he is still a teacher."
"I know." Draco said, "By the way, why hasn't Dumbledore taken any action or anyone for that matter. I thought he would be the first one to jump on the bandwagon for calling me out and pointing my 'wrongs'."
"With Lockhart complaining against you with the School Board, this wasn't something that Dumbledore could handle alone anymore." Snape said looking grim as usual, "So he asked us to remain calm and silent until the judgment is made by the board. So no professors will be talking to you about this mess, best they can do is ignore you for now."
"I see." Draco nodded. "Well, no matter what Lockhart says or does, it's not going to work, at all... So I don't really have to be concerned about it."
"Remember Draco being confident and full of yourself is two different things."
"I know." Draco said, "And we'll know that Lockhart isn't qualified to be a teacher and that's something I've got going on for me. If anyone questions me, they'll just have to prove them that."
"I hope you can otherwise you'll not only be dragging yourself but also all the students who followed you." Snape said.
Draco nodded in understanding getting out of Snape's office. He then walked out towards the common room, where everyone was waiting for him. Since they didn't really have any special place prepared for them, they had to work with what they had.
