Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 133 Burn Pt.1

Draco was completely annoyed by Lockhart and he couldn't really control his anger anymore, he was looking at Lockhart as if he was going to rip him apart in pieces. Daphne and Pansy looked worriedly at Draco while Theodore, on the other hand, went behind Draco and *Bam!*

Theodore slapped Draco's back as hard as he could causing Draco to flinch and snap out of his angry state. Draco looked back at Theodore with his lips twitching wondering whether he should hate him or be thankful that he managed to control him.

Everyone in the cla.s.sroom was busy taking care of themselves as this was nothing less than a traumatic event for them, so they barely had a chance to notice Draco's change, everyone except, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Daphne, and Pansy. All of them could feel the sudden change in Draco, even though nothing around him changed, he still gave the vibe of a completely different person which gave them a s.h.i.+ver down their spines. But after Theodore slapping his back, he completely returned to his usual self as he stared at Lockhart again, the intensity of anger in his eyes hadn't changed much but this time they could tell that it was still Draco himself.

"I've had it with you." Draco said looking back at Lockhart gripping Daphne's wand tightly, "I have already controlled myself way too much."

"Dr- Draco, it's okay... I know you're probably scared due to the incident so let's all calm down okay." Lockhart said waving his hand as quickly as he could, making sure Draco doesn't do anything irrational, even though he liked to bluff and believed that the story about Draco's was overly exaggerated like his's was but he wasn't willing to take that chance, "Also Draco, you aren't allowed to use magic remember, I'll let that one slide since it was necessary but the other..."

"The other what?" Draco said narrowing his eyes.

Lockhart flinched a little not being able to maintain the gaze with Draco. He gripped his wand tightly as well, looking around at the other students, who were wondering what was going on and what was going to happen. Lockhart knew that he couldn't sacrifice his reputation in this cla.s.sroom being afraid of a second-year wizard, he knew if he backed down all the rumors already spreading around about Draco blowing him up would be valid and people would start doubting him.

"Mr. Black, I suggest you keep your wand down, otherwise-" Lockhart said thrusting his chest out, looking at Draco bravely, "Otherwise I will have to take some necessary action, I admit you're a good student but that doesn't give you the right to disturb cla.s.ses and disrespect your teacher."

"Draco don't..." Hermione came pulling Draco's robe wanting him to stop and so did Daphne and Pansy.

"Draco, he's not worthy for you to get in trouble for." Pansy said, "Leave him be since the Pixies didn't harm anyone... just let it go."

"Yeah! Draco beside you already know what kind of person he is." Daphne added, "It's better to get used to him rather than keep arguing and fighting with him every day, and besides he is a teacher so we are at a disadvantage here."

Draco seeing the girls face began to calm down a little as he glanced at the c.o.c.ky expression on Lockhart's face, looking as if he had got a one up on Draco.

"Fine!" Draco said as he dropped all of his Lockhart's books down on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lockhart asked getting confused, similar to him all the other students were confused as well.

"I am boycotting your cla.s.ses from now on." Draco said smirking, "I have had enough of your stupidity. Today's the first cla.s.s of this year and you've already shown us what you're capable of... hiding under the table because you were afraid of a couple of little pixies, are you sure you defeated vampires?"

"I-I did indeed do those things... th-this time I was testing the capability of my students of course."

"So you needed to hide under the table for that?" Draco asked mockingly.

The rest of the students were silent, wondering the things Draco just said.

"I--"

Before Lockhart could come up with another excuse, Draco didn't even let him finish as he chanted, "Incendio"

The book on the ground immediately caught on flames. "You're free to join." Draco said leaving the cla.s.sroom.

All the students were confused wondering what to do and what was going on.

"It's an open invitation, you know," Theodore said as he picked up his book and dropped in on top of the fire. The fire grew larger as another pile of the book was added. In a similar manner, winking at Lockhart, Theodore left the cla.s.sroom as well.

Pansy and Daphne looked at each other and sighed. They too picked their books and burned them along with the rest and left. One by one, the Slytherin students stood up from their seats and threw their book on the fire and walked away, since Draco was their Idol following them was the more efficient way than following Lockhart. The remaining Slytherin girls were a bit hesitant at first but figured it would be better to support Draco than betraying the Slytherin group as a whole. Soon only Gryffindors were left, who didn't know what to do.

Some looked at Lockhart who was standing there like a statue, some looked at each other wondering whether they should join Slytherin in this mess or not. One of those people were Harry and Ron, especially Harry who already had enough of Lockhart bothering him and with this cla.s.s, he was sure there was nothing better Lockhart could teach him. Harry took a step forward carrying his books as well only to be stopped by Hermione.

"Hermione let me go." Harry said, "It's my only chance."

"Don't do it." Hermione said, "Draco has the strength to back up what he said but do you?"

Harry stayed silent for a while looking at Hermione, "But all of the Slytherin students are gone, I am sure I am better than quite a few of them."

"You are but have you looked at the Gryffindor students?" Hermione said, "The girls are head over heels for Lockhart at the moment and the guys are just too scared to make a move. Believe me, you don't want to stand out."

"But..." Harry looked at Ron who just shook his head.

"Don't look at me, I am already in enough trouble because of the car." Ron said not looking at Hermione at all, "Besides, even though I find Lockhart annoying, I don't think we should trust Draco on this. He is sure to get in trouble because of it, A student boycotting a cla.s.s in Hogwarts... I've never heard of it before."

"So aren't you going to go?" Harry asked Hermione, "Isn't Draco your friend?"

"He is and I am sure he already understands why I won't join him as well." Hermione said.

Harry just stood there not knowing what to do, as he finally let go of his books, sighing. The bell rang and one by one all the Gryffindor students left the messy cla.s.sroom one by one looking at Lockhart who seemed like he was stuck in place, not moving at all.

-----------------------------------------

"That was cool and all but do you think we aren't going to get in trouble for it." Theodore said to Draco as they were walking towards the Slytherin common room, "I am sure someone's going to stop us before we even reach the common room."

"Do I look like I care and besides if something does happen, I can deal with it when the time comes." Draco said, "Leaving that aside, why did you slap my back?"
