"I knew you're a spoiled brat Malfoy, But I didn't know you were oblivious too"

First person's POV
After the awkward lunch, Y/n and her friends went to their next class, Defense Against The Dark Arts. Except Y/n all of the female second years were looking forward to the class. Many were happy that Y/n didn't like Lockhart like other people at school. She knew Something others didn't know after all.
Because of Hermione, Y/n had to sit in front seat of the class. Ron and Harry right behind them. Hermione was muttering something about Lockhart to Y/n. Hermione made her promise that Y/n didn't have to like Lockhart but she can't stop Hermione to talk about him. Y/n agreed without thinking and now she was regretting her decision.
"Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.....Me" A voice came from the doorway of the office right above in the corner of the class.
"Gilderoy Lockhart....Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of The Dark Force Defense League" He winked himself from the big photo that was painting a picture of himself.
'He's so full himself.....Uncle Eric has Order of Merlin, Second class and HE is the honorable member of Dark Force Defense League. But he never showed-off..like this git' Y/n thought to herself.
" and five times winner..of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-smile Award." He grinned. Hermione and others girls were simping over him. Y/n stared Hermione with a face of slight Disgust.
"But. I don't talk about that..I didn't get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at him" He laughed and waited for others to join..But no one did..Even Hermione was busy for staring at him that she forgot to respond.
"I see you have brought a complete set of my books - well done..Now I thought we'd start today with a little quiz " He announced and everyone looked at each other, surprised for a unexpected test.
"Nothing to worry about.. just to check how well you've read them" he passes a paper to Hermione " How much you've taken in" He said passing the page to Y/n
"What if we never opened any of your books???" Y/n asked savagely, many of the male students laughed.
"We would have to learn everything in details then" Lockhart grinned and winked at Y/n while she stared at him with a unpleasant face. she looked at the paper in her hands ignoring the man she has to call 'professor'
Y/n regretted to read the questions for the quiz
'1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
3. What, in your opinion, is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date??? '
It went on and on for three pages. Y/n looked at Lockhart with disbelief but he didn't saw the daggers she was sending him.
After 30 minutes, Lockhart collected everyone's test papers. Y/n had wrote anything but the correct answer. Hermione was beaming thinking she wrote everything correctly. Y/n leaned towards her
"Hermione, How many times you've read his books?" Y/n whispered
"I don't remember.. I took a quick scan before the class.. That's all I remember" Hermione whispered back
"That wasn't a quick scan, Hermione. you've been reading it all day!! what is so good about this git's book-- AHH" Y/n groaned earning few attention from the class. Hermione had kicked her leg.
"tut, tut!! hardly any of you remember that my favourite color is Lilac..but Ms. Hermione Granger--" Hermione flinched and went red when his called her name. "--knew my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and market my own range of hair-care potions...good girl" He winked at her.
"thanks" Hermione beamed while Y/n bit her lip trying to stop her gag.
"Ms. Kim" Lockhart turned to Y/n "I have heard that you are one of the top students for Defense against the Dark Arts...but you did not wrote any correct answers for this quiz" He said. Y/n was about to say something but cut her off "No need to worry, you had said earlier that you were busy enough to read my books, we will learn everything in the class, so you would be the top student again" He grinned
"I wasn't busy to read your books, I chose not to read your books, Professor" Y/n said. Ron and Harry snorted along with other males. Y/n smirked a little.
Lockhart looked at her. thinking that if he said something to her, he will easily get into trouble and He did not want to offend a Kim. 1st Female Kim to be exact. He knew that Eric Kim would not forgive him. He walked back without saying anything.
Y/n smiled victoriously and looked back to face Harry and Ron. Both of them had a proud face. Lockhart put a big cage covered in cloth on table and pulled out his wand.
"Now.. be warned..It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind." He tapped the cage and it rattled on its own. most of the class were interestingly listening to him, except Y/n. she was sitting there boringly. she knew what was about to come.
"..You may find yourselves facing your worst fear in this room...know only that no harm can befall you whilst I'm here.....I must ask you not to scream.." He warned, many of the students were already scared for what was coming.
"It might PROVOKE THEM!!" Everyone held their breathes, including Y/n as Lockhart whipped off the cover. There were small blue creatures inside the cage, trying to get out.
"Cornish Pixies??" Seamus snorted
"Freshly caught Cornish Pixies" Lockhart said and Seamus couldn't control his laughter. half of the class chuckled and Y/n sat straight in caution. Hermione looked at her and Y/n just nodded, Hermione took the hint and sat alertly too.
"Laugh if you will, Mr. Finnegan..but pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters..Let's see what you make of them. He opened the cage and the pixies flew right the second
The pixies shot in every direction like rockets. they proceeded to wreck the classroom. They grabbed ink bottles and sprayed them in the class. they shredded books and papers, tore pictures for the wall
"Come on now, round them up, they're only pixies" Lockhart snorted. but then two of the pixies grabbed Neville by his ears and lifted him in the air. Lockhart was shocked. The children in the class ran out saving themselves.
Y/n had a chance to run way from the class but she stayed for her friends since they were busy to fight these little devils. A pixie grabbed a bit of Hermione's hair
"Get Off Me!!!" She screamed
"Stop! Hold Still" Harry said and smacked the pixie with a book
"Peskipiksi Pesternomi!!" Lockhart chanted. nothing happened except a pixie smacked the wand out of his hand. It flew at the ceiling and blasted the holder that was carrying the Dragon skeleton. Lockhart ran towards his office and fought with pixie that was taking his photo frame somewhere. But it was no use. he turned to the remaining students
"I'll ask you three to just nip the rest of them back into their cage"
SHUT
'He ran away!!!! That git RAN AWAY!!!' Y/n thought smacking and hitting the pixies around them.
"What do we do now??!!" Ron asked hitting the pixie that grabbing his robes. Hermione and Y/n pulled out their wands at the same time
"Immobulus!!" They yelled in unison and with flash spark, all the pixies were flying still, not moving an inch. Both of the girls looked at each other with a sly grin.
"why is it always me?" Neville asked hanging from the ceiling and Y/n chuckled
"trouble really likes you" Ron snorted
"I'll help you get down..... Glissioaco" Y/n said and light appeared from the end of her wand. The light turned into dust and formed into a ladder. "It is temporary...get down fast" She said with shaky hand.
"Does it use your strength to make the ladder strong" Harry asked and Y/n nodded focusing at the ladder Neville was using. Hermione saw that Y/n hands were shaking and the ladder was blury now. Hermione grabbed Y/n's hand helping her, The ladder went back to its color.
When Neville successfully climbed down. Y/n stopped the light and putted her wand back. her hand was hurting. She looked at Hermione with a smile.
"Do you still like him?" Y/n asked sitting down on near bench.
"He just wants to give us hands-on experience" Hermione replied pulling the pixies back into the cage by their legs.
"Hands-on?? Hermione.. He didn't have a clue what he was doing" Harry said to her
"Oh..rubbish!!!! you don't know cause you didn't read his books!!! look at all those amazing things he's done" Hermione Said slight offended
"He say's he done" Ron muttered loud enough for four of them.. Y/n and Harry chuckled and Hermione quietly pulled the pixies.
"There is a thing I know for sure" Y/n said earning attention of other three "I hate that guy!!!"
...
Rest of the week went by normally. It was Saturday, Y/n had planned to sleep all day long. and she was keeping her words. She was sleeping peacefully in her girl's dorm. Until, there was few taps at the door and
"GET UP Y/N!!!!!!!" That was enough make Y/n flinch and fall out her bed. She angrily looked at the person with puffed eyes
"What are you doing here, Wood!!!!!????" She growled at him which had no effect on him
"Quidditch practice!!!! come on now!!! get ready" Wood said
"Wood,,You-you-you're not su---supposed to be HERE!!!" Y/n yelled covering Hermione face with the blanket she was covering.
"What do you mean 'not supposed to be here'... I'm your captain and I have to make you perfect for the first match."Â Y/n looked at every girl in the room, no one was awake and then she turned to look out of the window. There was thin line of sunlight in the dark sky
"Wood...Its crack of dawn" Y/n whimpered
"exactly...its perfect time for training..I just woke Angelina up and now I'm going to wake Harry up...get ready..see you in common room..If you won't get up I'll have to come back here--"
"JUST GET OUT!!!!" Y/n growled and Wood left. Y/n looked around. No one got up by the voice. She looked at everyone with jealousy. she wanted to sleep too. She banged her head at the mattress few times and slumped back into the ground.
After few minutes, Y/n managed to wear her Quidditch robes without messing up. She grabbed her broom under her bed and walked out of the room, yawning.
When she entered the common room, she saw her team all over the room. they were laying or sitting trying to get some sleep. Y/n made her way to her brother, who was hugging his broom while dozing off on the couch. Y/n grabbed his broom away and laid next to him. cuddling her brother. Jake hugged her back.
"I never knew you liked to cuddle" Jake whispered in his morning voice.
"Its only okay if its with you" Y/n replied
"Why me?" Jake asked
"Because You are my brother" Y/n replied making Jake smile. He hugged his little sister tightly, promising himself that he will protect his little queen no matter what happens.
"HEY!!! I didn't called you here to doze off....come on.. I asked the elves if they could give us breakfast early. they agreed let's go" The Captain said "We will practice by the new program, and I think it is great to start today."
"You could've started from yesterday by telling us when we were awake" George said and Wood wasn't pleased by the question.
They ate the breakfast at great hall which was empty. Only 7 Gryffindors in Scarlet Robes were there. Y/n was sitting between Harry and Jake. They were just eating, not knowing they were eating, without knowing the taste.
The team took an hour and thirty minutes to eat. Wood was getting angry so they rushed towards the end. Now they were walking towards the pitch to practice.
"I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program, we're going to train earlier, harder and longer" Wood explained
"that's a kind of life we have" Y/n muttered making the team laugh
"What? I don't believe it.." Wood grunted looking at Slytherin team that were walking towards the pitch.
"Where you do you think you're going, Flint?" Wood asked standing in front of them.
"Quidditch Practice" Flint said like it was obvious.
There was no girl in the Slytherin team. Only Y/n and Angelina were standing shoulder by shoulder with the males in the team.
"I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today" Wood said clenching his jaw, Y/n caught that sight.
'wait...that was a little hot---' her thoughts were broke when a hand shoved her head lightly
"Don't even think about it..ever" Jake whispered.no... threatened
"Easy, Wood!!! I've got a note" Said the Slytherin Captain giving Wood a scroll. Wood opened the scroll.
"I, Professor Severus Snape do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need of train their new seeker." Wood read the note. Y/n looked at Ron and Hermione who just joined them.
"You've got a new Seeker, who?" Wood asked the team with no interest. The team stepped aside for Malfoy to come forward. Many were surprised to see him.
"Malfoy?" Harry muttered in laughing tone
"That's right" Malfoy smirked "And that's not all this year" He showed his broom. It was glowing new. all of them had the brooms
"Those are New Nimbus 2001's...How did you get those?" Ron asked looking the brooms.
"A gift from Draco's father" Flint replied nastily
"You see Weasley, unlike some. my father can afford the best" Draco spat
"I knew you're a spoiled brat Malfoy, but I didn't knew you were Oblivious too" Jake savagely said from the back of team. He stood next to Y/n and showed both of their brooms.
"You two have Nimbus 2001's too?" Harry asked looking at the sibling's new broom.
"When did you get those?" Ron asked admiring the brooms ignoring the presence of the other house's team.
"Uncle got us this..the day they came out. I didn't want anyone to know yet" Y/n explained
"She said that it felt wrong talking about them to others and I agree with her.. There's no need for us show-off" Jake said "unlike some" Jake glared at Draco.
Malfoy was annoyed but smirked a little "Of course there's no need for you to show-off. you two have way more better things than these broomsticks" He said
Jake and Y/n looked at each other both thinking the same things. 'Does he know about Dragons?' Both at them looked back at Malfoy when he continued
"Your family is far more respective than some of the families" Draco looked at Ron and the Weasley twins. " Who call themselves a Quidditch player while riding a Cleansweep fives" He chuckled darkly looking at the brooms half of the Gryffindor team were holding.
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in....They got in on pure talent" Hermione said sharply making Y/n smirk. The smug face Draco had turned into disgust. He walked towards Hermione
"No asked for your opinion...you filthy little Mud-blood" Draco spat.
The Gryffindor team gasped. Y/n and Jake gripped their brooms tightly glaring at Draco. Hermione too was giving Draco a dark look. Harry didn't knew what it meant but he knew it was bad.
"You'll pay for that one, Malfoy." Ron broke the dark silence. Y/n looked at him
"Ron don't--" her words were cut off by "EAT SLUGS!!" Ron yelled and with a light he fell back. Y/n and others ran towards him.
"You okay, Ron?" Hermione asked worriedly. Ron was pale his mouth full of something
"Say something" Hermione said but Ron spat a slimey slug out his mouth. Y/n was more than angry now. She looked at Draco with a death stare. without knowing she walked towards him and stood right in front of him.
"Apologize" She said in low deathly tone. There was a Violet current in her iris barely visible but Draco caught a glimpse of it.
"What?" He whispered
"I said apologize....to both of them" she nodded her towards Hermione and Ron.
"Why would I?" Draco stepped back
"So you won't....It would be good you did" Y/n said and out of nowhere the mud from the ground flew up and turned in small balls. It was like Y/n was controlling them. The Slytherin team was shocked to see this sight.
"Hey..Kim---what are you---?" Draco muttered but his were interrupted when the mud balls flew at him and hit him.
"Y/n Let's go to Hagrid's!!!! He might help us" Harry told Y/n and with a last glare at Draco she went with them ,throwing her broom to Jake who caught it perfectly.
They went to Hagrid's hut. He was shocked to see Ron in this situation went inside to get something.
"This calls for a specialist's equipment" Hagrid passed a huge bucket to Ron "Nothing to do but wait till it stops, I'm afraid " Ron pulled another slug from his mouth. "Better out than in...Who was Ron trying to curse anyway?" Hagrid asked and Y/n looked at Hermione. She looked hurt
"Malfoy, he called Hermione....um..well...I don't knew exactly what it means" Harry said unsure. Hermione stood up and walked away hiding her tears.
"He called me a Mudblood" Hermione said in broken voice
"He did not" Hagrid gasped
"What's a Mudblood?" Harry asked out loud
"It means 'Dirty Blood'.. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who's muggleborn...someone with non-magic parents. Someone like me....Its not a term one usually hears in a civilized conversation" Hermione explained with tears in her eyes.
"See, the things is , Harry...there a some wizards, like Malfoy Family who think they're better than everyone else just because they called what people say Pure-blood" Y/n explained him
"That's horrible" Harry said disbelief and Ron threw up another slug.
"Its disgusting" Ron said maintaining the conversation. Y/n pat his back.
"And its codswallop to boot. Dirty blood..." Hagrid rolled his eyes "why, there's a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less....More to the point, they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do" Hagrid said and Hermione smiled
"Come here...Don't you think on it, Hermione, Don't you think on it for one minute" Hagrid patted her hand making her smile.
"That's right Hermione" Y/n walked to her "Malfoy knows that you are 10x more better than he could ever be..and he is jealous for that.....You are one of most powerful witch I've ever seen" Y/n said and Hermione hugged her tightly. Y/n felt little droplets on her shoulder. She hugged her friend back
"what did you do back then?" Hermione asked her
"What did I do?" Y/n asked back confused
"You threw mud balls at Malfoy....without making them wit hands.." Harry told her
"Hey.. I just thought about that in my mind..I didn't actually do it" Y/n chuckled alone and everyone was staring at her "What?"
"You did that -blurg- not in mind- blurg- in reality" Ron managed to say
"I did???? I don't remember doing that" Y/n sat beside Hagrid.
"You must be really angry if you don't remember......you've got a really nice friend, Hermione" Hagrid said to Hermione. And she beamed
"Maybe......" that was all what Y/n had to say.
She did something she doesn't even remember.....just what happened earlier.
'I need to talk to Jake about this' Y/n thought
After a cup of tea. The four Gryffindors left Hagrid's hut and went back to school. They saw Professor McGonagall on their way.
"Your detention will begun now...Mr. Weasley you will be helping Mr. Flich in polishing the trophies in the Trophy room....Mr. Potter and Ms. Kim...you will be helping Mr. Lockhart with whatever he wants to do" With that Professor left.
.....
"Harry, Harry, Harry..oh and Ms.Kim....." Said Lockhart for maybe thousandth time according to Y/n. "Can you two possibly imagine a better way to serve detention...by helping me to answer my fan mail?" He asked them
"Not really" Replied Harry
"Cleaning the bathroom is better than this" Y/n muttered closing the envelope. Harry heard her..he controlled his laughter.
"Fame is a fickle, you two...Celebrity is as celebrity does...remember that" Lockhart gave his highly used grin
"Like Uncle Eric??..or Professor Dumbledor?" Y/n asked him smugly and he nodded
"That's right" He replied like he was forced to do so.
"Why did you ask me here???? If I remember correctly..Professor Snape said that my detention was going to help him...Why did you asked me to come here instead?" Y/n asked him again
"You see, Ms. Kim....You have popular image that I want help you maintain..that's why I called you...perhaps if you like to clean Cauldrons than addressing the mail..then I'm sorry" He chuckled
"I guess this is easy work" Y/n shrugged and Harry nodded agreeing. All three of them went back to their work..not knowing what's coming ahead
'I wonder when will Harry hear those messages' Y/n thought
"come......come......to me....come to me"
'Wait A Damn minute'
