Ron blushes hard as he stared at you, "Y-you don't have t-to." He shuttered.

"But if you need any help, tell me. Alright?" You finished applying his injury.

Harry rolled his eyes. Hermione saw everything which made her sigh.

"Anyway, Y/N, I think you should get back-"

But then there was a tap on the dark window.

"It's Red!" You said, hurrying to let him in. "He has Charlie's letter!"

The four of them put their heads together to read the note.

'Dear Y/N,

How are you? I miss you so much. Thanks for your letter. I'd be glad to take the Norwegian Ridgeback, but it won't be easy getting him here. I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week. The trouble is, they mustn't be seen carrying an illegal dragon.

Could you get the Ridgeback up the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday? They can meet you there and take him away while it's still dark.

Send me an answer as soon as possible.

Love,

Charlie'

They looked at one another. "We've got the invisibility cloak," said Harry.

"It shouldn't be too tricky - I think the cloaks big enough to cover two of Norbert and us. "

Then the boys looked at you.

"Are you two that close?" Harry asked.

"I'm close with everyone-"

"-Mostly the boys." Hermione finished my sentence.

"Thank you, and yes, mostly with boys. I feel close to boys, it feels like in my past I have brothers, maybe?" You said.

"I'm close to Bill too; I gave so much trouble to Bill and Charlie when they used to be here." You added.

"FURTHERMORE, Y/N. It's late, and you should go to your dorm now." Hermione patted your back.

"Oh shoot, Knight will be furious." You stood up and about to leave, but you turned around.

"Good night, everyone." You winked and left.

I quietly went inside our room; the lights were off.

I couldn't see if she's awake or asleep, but I hope she's sleeping.

"Where were you." The lamp suddenly opened, revealing wide awake Kayden Knight.

"Uh, sleepwalking?" I shrug.

"Honestly, Y/N." She rolled her eyes and went towards me.

"Go to sleep; it's dangerous rooming around at the castle late at night." She mumbled.

Then I noticed something on her lip; there was blood.

"Kay? Are you alright? Why do you have blood on your lip?" I was about to wipe the blood off, but she moved away.

"It's nothing, probably just candy or fruit I ate a while ago." She quickly wipes it away.

But... Weirdly, I can smell it... Its .

"Are you sure that it's nothing?"

"Yes, it's nothing just some food/snacks I ate a while ago. Now let's go to sleep, alright?"

I nodded, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, changed to my pyjamas too.

"Good night."

"Good night."

"Y/N?"

I perked up and saw Cedric standing in front of me; I looked around.

All Slytherin students in our table are looking at him, "Hey, Ced. Is there a problem?"

"Can I perhaps talk to you?" I nodded and smiled.

"I'll be back," I inform my friends, the four of them nodded and smirked.

"See I told you, she's into older guys." Kayden laughed as the four others joined.

I narrowed my eyes at them. I grabbed my book and smacked their heads.

"Bloody hell." They groan.

"Let's go." I smiled at Cedric; both of us walked out of the great hall.

And walked to the garden, "is there any problem?"

"Well, um, yes, I heard you're outstanding in potions. Since Professor Snape always brags about you at the class being able to do what we are learning."

"Oh, Merlin, and potions is one of my favourites; all the professors have been teaching since I was small. And I read books all the time." I chuckled.

"Really? Wow, that means you're smart then. Can you perhaps teach me?" He asked.

"Like tutor??" He nodded quickly.

"Sure, why not. Let's meet in the library." I grinned.

His eyes widen "for real?! Helga! Thank you! Thank you so much. Y/N!" He hugged me.

I patted his back "no problem, so does this mean. You're horrible in potions then," I smirked.

Both of us pull away; he frowns at me "yeah, don't make fun of me." I laughed at him.

"It's alright. Also, I'm surprised you asked for my help instead of Cho Chang. I heard she fancy you." I faked my smile.

"Yeah, I know. I don't even know how to respond to it, sure I used to like her too, but now I'm not sure." He looked down to the ground.

"Oh, do you perhaps fancy someone else now?" He looked up and stared at my eyes.

Both of us are having an eye contact battle "yes I do." He said not even looking somewhere else.

"What's going on here." Both of us turned around, and it was Draco.

"Malfoy."

"Y/N, the others are looking for you." He ignored Cedric; he grabbed my hand and started dragging me.

"Bye, Ced! I'll see you later!" I bid him goodbye while Draco was dragging me back to the great hall.

"Don't talk to him."

"And why is that? He's nice to everyone and friendly.."

"He's only using you." I yanked my hand away from him and narrowed my eyes, "Stop uttering nonsense Draco."

"Whatever, but you better be careful. I heard he's a big flirt."

"Draco."

"Yeah?"

"Are you jealous?"

He turned around and faced me; his face is a blushing mess.

"Shut up." He hisses.

"Alright, then." I giggled.

"So you want to know about your parents?" Harry asked.

I nodded "yeah, I want to know how they look like."

"There's probably a picture of them here in the castle; after all, you are professor Dumbledore's grandchild, of course, he has a portrait of his son or daughter." Hermione patted my back as she calms me down.

"But they have no portraits of them in the castle or any part of this place; it's so strange," I mumbled.

"I just feel a bit jealous over it; even Harry saw his parents in the mirror while I dont," I said while I play with Red.

I didn't tell them about the family I saw at the mirror at that time, they spoke to me.

"That's odd; mails are early today," Ron said, all of us looked up, and an owl was flying towards us.

"Does anyone knows this owl?" I said and looked around; they all shook their heads.

"How odd."

We got the package and mail then the owl started flying away.

"It's for you, Y/N." They passed the parcel to me, and I stared at it carefully.

"What's that?" My friends came over the Gryffindor table; the Slytherin table is utterly terrible.

All they did was talk about status, blood status, and how unpleasant Gryffindors are.

"Come on, Y/N, don't keep us waiting. Unwrap the letter and the package." Henry groan.

"Please be patient, Grey; we have to check if it's safe to open." Ben rolled his eyes.

"He has a point, though."

These people, they seem so nice to each other but either way, they are Slytherin sometimes sarcastic, cold and straight forward.

"Okay, okay, but I'm the only one who should know about the letter," I said, but I noticed how Kayden gave me a look.

"Anyway, go on, open it." Kayden smiled.

I opened the letter first,

I dwindled my gaze to the note and carefully re-read it all over again if it's entirely for me.

I looked at the large parcel and unwrapped it; my mouth hangs open.

"Oh my, how wonderful." Easton chuckled.

"It's a violin," I mumbled and smiled.

"Do you like it?" Kayden asked as I nodded rapidly.

"Do you know how to play it?" Ron asked.

"Of course, we're talking about Y/N here." Ben rolled his eyes.

"So do you know how to play the violin, Y/N?" Hermione smiled. I nodded once again.

"Wow."

꧁☬⋆ᴺᴼ ᴼᴺᴱ'ˢ ᴾᴼᵛ⋆☬꧂

It was a mark of how bad the last week had been that the other two agreed with Harry and Y/N. Anything to get rid of Norbert and Draco.

There was a hitch. By the next morning, Ron's nipped hand had swollen to twice its usual size.

He didn't know whether it was safe to go to Madam Pomfrey would recognise a dragon bite? By the afternoon, though, he had no choice.

The cut had turned a nasty shade of green. It looked as if Norbert's fangs were poisonous.

You three rushed up to the hospital wing at the end of the day to find Ron in a terrible state in bed.

"It's not just my hand," he whispered, "although that feels like it's about to fall off. Malfoy told Madam Pomfrey he wanted to borrow one of my books so he could come and have a good laugh at me. He kept threatening to tell her what really bit me, I've informed her it was a dog, but I don't think she believes me. I shouldn't have hit him at the Quidditch match, that's why he's doing this."

The three tried to calm Ron down, "It'll all be over at midnight on Saturday," said Hermione, but this didn't soothe Ron at all. On the contrary, he sat bolt upright and broke into a sweat.

"Midnight on Saturday!" he said in a loud voice. "Oh no oh no, I've just remembered -- Charlie's letter was in that book Malfoy took, he's going to know we're getting rid of Norbert. "

"WHAT?!" Your eyes widen.

Harry and Hermione didn't get a chance to answer. Madam Pomfrey came over at that moment and made us leave, saying Ron needed sleep.

They left the hospital wing. "It's too late to change the plan now," Y/N told Harry and Hermione. "We haven't got time to send Charlie another owl, and this could be our only chance to get rid of Norbert. We'll have to risk it. And we have got the invisibility cloak, Draco doesn't know about that."

"If you want a faster bird, we could ask for Kayden's falcon," You added.

"But that means he will know about Norbert; he will get us into trouble!" Harry argued.

"As if, also she might even help us to get rid of Draco. You know how much she hates him." You sighed.

Kayden Alexander Knight and Draco Lucius Malfoy, those two hate each other guts to badly.

"That's true though, but what if Knight might betray us? After all, he is a Slytherin." Harry crossed his arms.

The Gryffindor jealousy is on the top, "ugh, honestly Harry. Kayden won't do that and have you forgotten that I am also a SLYTHERIN." You glared at him.

"Enough you two, we don't have time for this." Hermione hand enough with the two bickerings.

They found Fang, the boarhound, sitting outside with a bandaged tail when they went to tell Hagrid, who opened a window to talk to them.

"I won't let you in," he puffed. "Norbert's at a tricky stage, nothin' I can't handle."

When you three told him about Charlie's letter, his eyes filled with tears, although that might have been because Norbert had just bitten him on the leg.

"Aargh! It's all right; he only got my boot -- jus' playin' -- he's only a baby, after all."

"Are you sure uncle?" You asked, worried.

The 'baby' banged its tail on the wall, making the windows rattle. Harry and Hermione walked back to the castle feeling Saturday couldn't come quickly enough.

They would have felt sorry for Hagrid when the time appeared for him to say good-bye to Norbert if they hadn't been so worried about what they had to do.

It was a very dark, cloudy night, and they were a bit late arriving at Hagrid's cottage because they'd had to wait for Peeves to get out of their way in the entrance hall, where he'd been playing tennis against the wall. Hagrid had Norbert packed and ready in a large crate.

"He's got lots o' rats an' some brandy fer the journey," said Hagrid in a muffled voice. "An' I've packed his teddy bear in case he gets lonely. "

From inside the crate came ripping noises that sounded to Harry as though the teddy was having his head torn off.

"Bye-bye, Norbert!" Hagrid sobbed, as Harry, Hermione and Y/N covered the crate with the invisibility cloak and stepped underneath it themselves. "Mummy will never forget you!"

How they managed to get the crate back up to the castle, they never knew. Midnight ticked nearer as they heaved Norbert up the marble staircase in the entrance hall and along the dark corridors. Up another staircase, then another -- even one of Y/N's shortcuts didn't make the work much more manageable.
