Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 14 Fairness

Pansy did a wonderful landing as well, but due to Harry being a split second faster, he won.

"I win, Draco." Harry said. Draco shrugged his shoulders and went towards Pansy.

The Gryffindor students except for Hermione rushed towards Harry and began cheering loudly. Ron even tried to carry Harry and was shouting the loudest.

Similarly, the Slytherin students went towards Pansy. Pansy looked at Draco and said, "I am sorry, I lost."

She wanted to take on Harry since the whole situation happened due to her picking up the Remembrall, but she didn't think that she would lose to someone who has never even seen a broom in his life.

'If Draco was in my place, he definitely would have won.' She thought

"Are you an idiot?" Draco said, Pansy looked sad, ready to get some scolding but it never came. Draco slowly caressed Pansy's hair, "You did your best, and I never knew you were so great at flying. I couldn't have done better myself."

"Yeah! that was awesome." Daphne and Millicent said holding Pansy's hand.

"Okay! I admit that it was slightly wicked." Theodore said smiling a little.

"You guys!!" Pansy wanted to cry but more cheers from the Slytherin students came,

"Yeah, it was really amazing the way you did that nosedive."

"I think you will be a really awesome chaser." A boy said

"No, I think she can be a great seeker."

"Yeah, you should join the Quidditch team."

Draco smiled looking at Pansy who was blus.h.i.+ng slightly due to all the compliments. 'This is why I love Slytherin, we never accept defeat even when we lose.'

Hermione also went over towards Pansy and both of them smiled at each other in understanding.

"HARRY POTTER!" "PANSY PARKINSON."

Suddenly, Professor McGonagall came rus.h.i.+ng toward them. Harry's leg was trembling to see McGonagall and Pansy was a bit afraid as well. Draco held her hand and gave it a little squeeze, Pansy looked up at Draco's face who was giving her a rea.s.suring smile. Pansy felt calm seeing his smile and nodded at him.

"Never -- in all my time at Hogwarts --"

Professor McGonagall was almost speechless with shock, and her gla.s.ses flashed furiously, "-- how dare you both -- you could have broken your neck --"

"It wasn't his fault, Professor --"

"Be quiet, Miss Patil

"It was Malfoy's plan to play the game." Suddenly Ron shouted and McGonagall glared at Draco who was standing there looking innocent.

"You are too clever, Mr. Weasley" Theodore said with a surprised expression, "How could you blame others so easily, when you were the one who started the game... you challenged us, and we only accepted it because you kept insisting that Gryffindor were better than Slytherin. You even called us thieves."

"Yeah! We are not afraid to admit our mistakes, Mr. Weasley." Daphne added looking righteous as well, "But we are not kind enough to take the blame for other people. You were the one who started it but now you blame Draco, such shamelessness."

"Yeah! Yeah! it was him who started it." All the Slytherin student started putting the blame on Ron.

"No, I wasn't the one," Ron shouted back.

All the Gryffindor student were surprised by the Slytherin's shamelessness.

"Enough!" Professor McGonagall said "Potter, you and Mr. Weasley come with me and Ms. Parkinson and Mr. Malfoy please wait here awhile, I will come here with your house head, Professor Snape. He will decide both of your punishment."

This whole time Draco stayed silent and looked calm.

"Follow me." Professor McGonagall said coldly.

Harry glared at Malfoy, then threw the Remembrall towards Ron. "Can you hold it for me?"

Ron nodded but as soon as he caught the Remembrall, it cracked and shattered into pieces.

Professor McGonagall turned around to look at the shattered gla.s.s in Ron's hand, "Be careful, Mr. Weasley." she said turning back again.

Everyone was surprised as to why the Remembrall broke and they all looked at Draco.

Draco's innocent smile was slowly turning into a slightly evil grin, "Oh! How could you break the Remembrall that belonged to Mr. Longbottom? Mr. Weasley, I figured you were jealous of him having it but I didn't think you would break it."

The Slytherin understanding that it might be Draco's doing, grinned from ear to ear,

"I am surprised, with your sly behavior, you could have been a good Slytherin." Theodore commented

"You.." Ron was clenching his fist in anger. Harry also looked angry but he couldn't do anything right now, since McGonagall turned her back again with an angry expression, so both of them followed her giving an angry glare to Draco.

After they were gone, Hermione came in front, "Why did you break it?"

"I didn't." Draco said tilting his head,

Hermione narrowed her eyes, "Then why did you say that to him."

"I was just pouring some salt in his wounds." Draco said, "Besides, the ball probably broke after all that fight."

"Yeah! Hermione." Pansy surprisingly spoke with Hermione without a sarcastic tone, "I could feel the ball was already cracking a little when I hold it, and after Potter kicked the ball from my hand, it may have cracked even more, Maybe all it needed was a little push which was provided when Potter threw it towards Weasley."

Listening to Pansy's explanation, Hermione nodded slightly believing what Draco said.

Theodore was the only one skeptical about it, He knew the ball wouldn't break so easily but he didn't say anything. Daphne was on the sideline looking at Pansy who was talking to Hermione with a surprised expression.

The thing about his mana control was a secret which he wasn't ready to tell anyone. Even if he wanted to do it, he wouldn't be able to, as he himself didn't know much about it.

'Sigh! Too much has happened, within these 11 days since the school started, I need to manage my time properly.' Draco thought.

"Poor Neville." Hermione said. "He broke his wrist and now his Remembrall which he got just today, broke as well."

"Well, the broken wrist can be fixed with a potion so not a big deal, but the Remembrall was kinda my fault...I guess." Draco scratched his head, Even though he broke that Remembrall to satisfy his vanity against Potter, he still went a bit overboard. Since Neville wasn't at fault. "I will find a way to make it up for him."

"You better." Hermione said,

"Well the Remembralls aren't that expensive so I will buy him one." Draco said. Hermione glared at Draco with a 'Really?' expression, "And maybe I will give him a nice gift on Christmas as an apology."

Hermione finally nodded satisfied, "All that's fine, but I didn't think, you guys were so shameless though."

Theodore laughed, "Are you talking about me? It was Weasley's fault... we played a game under the consent of both parties, but he was the one to spill the beans, and put the blame on Draco. Really that red-headed Weasley has no sense of sportsmans.h.i.+p."

"Hmph! His rat is probably more intelligent than him." Daphne snickered.

'Oh! How right you are Daphne!' Draco thought to himself.

Draco smiled and he looked at Hermione, "By the way, do you not have any friend in Gryffindor."

"No... I have some friends." Hermione said looking awkward.

"As Weasley said you are a Gryffindor. Remember you have to stay in the same room as them for 7 years so getting on their bad side, isn't really a good thing. Like today no one from Gryffindor supported you and since you sided with us today... there might be some people in Gryffindor who might not like you." Draco said with a bit of concern, he didn't want Hermione to get bullied by other Gryffindor students.

"Hmph! You don't have to worry about me." She said snorting a little, trying to hide her red ears, "You should worry about yourself, you might get expelled."

"Yeah! Draco. What do we do?" Pansy asked she was blaming herself for the whole mess.

"Don't worry, even though we did break some rules... we didn't cross the line too much as well." Draco said stretching his arms, "And besides Professor Snape won't give us any harsh punishment either."

As Draco said that, Filch came with an ugly smile on his face, "You both come with me, Professor Snape is calling for you."

Draco waved others goodbye and walked behind Filch with Pansy,

"Why are you so confident that they won't expel us?" Pansy asked

"Do you really think, Dumbledore will expel our dear little Mr. Savior." Draco said

"You mean.."

"Yup, since we got in trouble along with Potter, we are less likely to be expelled." Draco said, "Maybe that's one benefit of being the friend of Mr. Savior, You might get punished but you won't be expelled."

"Sigh! Thank Merlin." Pansy said, "I didn't know how I will face aunt Narcissa in the future if you got expelled because of me."

"Don't worry about me and it wasn't your fault either." Draco rubbed her hair a little and said, "So have you thought about joining Quidditch."

"Quidditch?" Pansy thought for a while, "I don't know, I knew I was good at flying but I never thought I was this good myself, so I might join in the future. Besides, I can only join Quidditch, after our first year, so there is still a year remaining for me to decide."

Draco looked at her, "Just so you know, I will support you if you ever joined the team."

"Umm.." Pansy nodded,

"Che...quit your whispering you two." Said Filch, "So finally getting punished huh, I knew this day would come sooner or later, you nasty little troublemaker."

Pansy glared at Filch angrily but Draco, on the other hand, was calm. He knew that Filch hated him. Filch probably hated everyone in the school except for his cat. And due to there being repeated rumors about how Draco tried to murder his cat, Filch hated him more than any other students.

Soon they arrived at Snape's office. Filch knocked on the door, "Professor Snape, I have brought them, Troublemakers here."

"Get in." Snape's voice came in from inside.

Filch opened the door and walked in with Draco and Pansy,

Snape glared at them for a second before turning to look at Filch again, "I will have a talk with them now." Snape said to Filch.

Filch nodded and walked outside not forgetting to give Draco a nasty stare before leaving,

Snape's office was a gloomy and dimly-lit room inside the school dungeons. The shadowy walls were lined with shelves of large gla.s.s jars filled with slimy, revolting things, such as bits of animals and plants, floating in potions of varying colors.

Snape looked at Draco, "Care to explain."

"Potter wanted to show his flying talent in front of everyone," Draco said shrugging his shoulders.

Listening to what Draco said, Snape face turned sour, 'Hmph! Just like his idiotic father.' He thought.

"I won't give you any punishment for now, so leave." Snape said.

Pansy sighed in relief and started walking towards the door, but seeing Draco not following her she turned back.

"I have something to talk with, Professor Snape." Draco said, "Wait for me in the common room."

Pansy nodded and went outside closing the door.

"What is it?" Snape said, "If you want to talk about potions, then we will have a conversation some other time."

"It's not that, G.o.dfather." Draco said since no one was around he preferred to call Snape that, he has been calling him G.o.dfather since he was young. "It's about Potter."

Snape stared at Draco, "Continue."

"Potter similar to us didn't get any punishment but was instead rewarded," Draco said.

Snape glared at him signaling him to go on.

"Potter was selected to be the next seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team."

Snape face got a bit ugly, "Its impossible, he is a first-year student."

"Yes he is, but he is also our dear Mr. Savior. I wouldn't be surprised if Dumbledore favored him more than other students."

Snape considered Draco's word and asked, "How do you know about this?"

"Peeves." Draco said, "Supposedly, Professor McGonagall took Harry to a senior's cla.s.s to meet someone name Oliver wood."

Hearing the name, Snape eyes flinched a little. He knew that Wood was the captain of the Gryffindor's Quidditch team.

Draco continued, "And she took them to a cla.s.s to discuss, Potter's talent in becoming the next seeker of the Gryffindor's team."

"Peeves told you that?" Snape said with a little doubt.

"No, he was singing it." Draco replied.

All the things he said were the events that took place in the book, things might have gone a little bit differently but Draco was sure that Harry was going to become a seeker none the less.

Snape mood was hard to describe, He had a mixture of emotions on his face. After a moment of silence, he turned to Draco once again, "So what do you have in mind?"

"I want fairness." Draco said, "Since Potter could get rewarded for causing trouble then why can't we."

Dear Readers,

I would love it if you stop guessing where the story is going. At least wait till the end of the volume to criticize, things you don't like.

It's not that I hate criticism or anything, its just people are coming up with their own theory like,

"Draco might do this." and "Draco might do that.", " Draco might lose to potter."

When I haven't written anything that will leave the impression of any of the weird situation you guys came up with. It's not even criticism, it's just weird.

Just a complain, Do whatever you want.. I don't care. ?
