𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗬 got off the Buckbeak they were riding on. Everyone clapped happily when they saw Cassie and Harry return.

Draco who was leaning against the tree trunk and hearing him felt jealous because everyone was praising his enemy. He threw the green apple from his hand.

"Seriously!?" Draco then walked quickly arrogantly towards Buckbeak.
"You must be just a lame animal, you idiot!"

Draco's impolite treatment made Buckbeak angry and by reflex made Draco fall to the ground and step on his arm.

"It's killed me! It's killed me!!!" Draco shouted frantically holding his hands with his eyes tightly closed.

"Buckbeak!!" Call Hagrid and send the poor Hippogriff away.

"Quickly take him to the infirmary!" Hermione shouted with the intention of not making matters worse.

Hagrid finally carried Draco and left all the students.

Cassie smiled crookedly at Draco.
"I didn't hit him in the face..."
"But at least, his arm is broken. HAHAHA!"

Ron frowned with a sour face. He turned to Harry. "Harry, our best friend is very rude..."

Harry just chuckled hearing Ron, when Cassie who was holding her arms approached him and said.

"You should at least learn that, Ronald."

Ron just replied to Cassie with a crooked smile.

"Come on, isn't it time for lunch?" Hermione asked. "Let's go to the Great Hall."

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯۰ ۪۪۫۫ · 🌊

In the Great Hall for lunch, all the students gathered. Of course they sat on long chairs that had been provided for each of their homes.

Gryffindor is the home of four friends. So their line up in the middle with the Slytherin line up to their right.

Cassie, with Ron, Harry and Hermione side by side on the other side was quietly eavesdropping on the two Slytherins' lewd conversation.

"How does it feel now?"
asked 'Pansy Parkinson'
She is a white-skinned girl with black hair who asked Draco next to her.

Draco whose right arm was now bandaged because it was broken answered.

"Still sick of course, wait until my father hear about this!"

Cassie narrowed her eyes and faced her friend. "Can I hit his arm?!"

"That's right! He's clearly exaggerating this matter."
Hermione agreed.

"This matter wouldn't be finished if Malfoy's father heard about it."

"Hey, Sirius Black shows up!" Suddenly one of their Gryffindor friends came in with the Daily Prophet newspaper.

The Golden Four immediately gathered at their friends who had brought the Daily Prophet with their other friends.

The boy pointed at the picture on the newspaper that he laid out on the table.
"Look, Sirius Black is back!"

"Sirius Black is back?"

"Yeah. And here says he's made it to Dufftown"

Hermione who heard him suddenly said. "Dufftown? It's close from here."

The atmosphere among the Gryffindor students was even more chaotic.

"He couldn't have gotten into Hogwarts, could he?"
"With the Dementors outside. How come?"

"Dementor? Come on, he's been through it."

"I don't know. The point is..Black could be anywhere."

Those words made Cassie turn to Harry, but not Harry himself. Cassie saw the seriousness on her friend's face.

However.. for some reason Harry's appearance today without a robe, the messy collar of his uniform and then the sleeves of his clothes being rolled up... made Cassie feel something different in her heart.

Cassie's different look at Harry was seen by Hermione who was secretly smiling.

After lunch, it was time for the defense against the black arts lesson taught by their new teacher.

Who else besides the Professor Remus Lupin!

After everyone had gathered in the small hall, Professor Lupine gave a speech on his first day teaching at Hogwarts.

"Welcome, everyone."
"On this sunny afternoon, I am very happy because I can be your teacher!" he said excitedly.

"Okay. Today you will learn how to fight your fears."
"When fear strikes you, cast the spell. 'Ridiculous!'"

All the children seemed hesitant to talk to each other to their friends. Draco in the corner of the room who was leaning back muttered in his annoyance.

"This class is so ridiculous."

"Alright! Let's start with Neville Longbottom!" Professor Lupin continued to choose Neville because the boy was at the forefront.

Neville with a scared and doubtful face was asked by the Professor. "What are you afraid of, Neville?"

"P-professor Snape..."

Neville's innocent answer made everyone laugh. "Haha, Professor Snape does make a lot of people feel scared."

"Okay, let's get started."

Said Professor Lupin then pointed his wand at an old cupboard with a glass in front of it. The wardrobe is in front of everyone.

The cupboard was open. And from the cupboard the fear of the person in front of it will emerge.

Because in front of the cupboard was Neville, and Neville's fear was Professor Severus Snape, so what emerged from the cupboard was Professor Snape.

Professor Snape's face looked angry, it frightened Neville. Snape came up to Neville.

"Cass the spell, Neville!"
Get Professor Lupin excited.

"Ridiculous!" Neville said the spell and sure enough, the Severus Snape he was afraid of turned into Snape wearing a very cute granny dress.

"Haha Good! Come on, continue." Guided Professor Lupine excitedly and started to put on some music.

Ron's turn, automatically Professor Snape, who had been wearing a dress, now turned into Ron Weasley's fear.

A giant spider.

Ron looked frightened but he finally cast the spell. "Ridiculous!"

And the eight spider legs wear colored skates. "Continue!"

This time it was Cassie's turn. Cassie was already in place but nothing had changed at all.

"Uhm, Cassie.. you should think about your fears."

Cassie then turned to Professor Lupin who said her name.

"Uhm...there's nothing I'm afraid of."

Lupin then laughed at Cassie's answer. Hermione who was twice behind Cassie shouted.

"Cassie has nothing to fear!" She said laughing.

Cassie smile a moment then returned to try to focus. She remembered a few days ago while playing the sound game with her Gryffindor friends.

A large snake appeared in front of her. Slightly surprised but she immediately chanted the spell. "RIDICULOUS!"

Then the big snake that had scared Cassie turned into a clown game.

"Furthermore!"

Harry's turn. Cassie hadn't lined up in the back row like Ron. The hilarious clown game was moving slowly...and slowly.

Then turned into a Dementor.

Cassie had a feeling this Dementor would really suck Harry's face again. Going on instinct, Professor Lupin confronted the Dementor in front of Harry.

"Here!"

The dementor turns into a full moon at night. Lupine was silent for a moment then cast his spell until the full moon disappeared into a balloon.

Cassie was still frowning in confusion. 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘤a𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 a 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯? She thought.

"Okay, okay. Done for today!
I apologize and go back to your classes! Sorry!!"

All the students finally returned to their respective dormitories. Harry was still silent in front of the cupboard, his mind felt so confused.

Cassie tilted her head to see Harry, she walked over to her beloved best friend and tapped him on the shoulder. "Harry."

Harry looked up from his reverie. "Cassie?"

"There's nothing you need to be afraid of.." Cassie said with a smile.

Harry looked down and took a deep breath.
"Yes... yes." Harry looked up and smiled holding Cassie's shoulder.

"I'll have nothing to fear. I'll be like you."

Cassie chuckled at Harry's words. She then replied.

"Hey Harry. I'm the one who's going to be like you. You're brave, you've always had the nerve to face You-Know-Who, Harry."

Harry smiled sweetly in return. He took Cassie's hand and held it.
"Lets go back."

And with that, the two beloved bestfriends are going back to their Gryffindor Room.
