"Hi you two" Daphne says walking into our carriage with Pansy and Astoria
"How was your summer? how was your birthday?" Pansy asks taking a seat next to me. We haven't told anyone about the engagement, but mum and dad weren't happy that we wanted to wait, so here I am wearing the ring and fiddling with it
"Oh you know the usual. Birthday was good" I smile, but it quickly fades when Pansy looks down to my hand. Quickly I place my right hand over my left so she can't see "what about you? how was your summer"
"Oh it was amazing. Blaise came to stay at mine and ..."
"Do I want to hear this?" Draco mutters, I nudge him. He places his arm over my shoulders just as the others walk in. Blaise takes a seat next to Pansy while Crabbe and Goyle sit opposite. Once again Pansy looks down
"What's gotten into you. Your hiding something"
"No I'm not"
"YN just tell them. They're going to find out at some point. Can't bloody hide the thing" I sigh, Draco's right no point in hiding things now. I remove my right hand from my left to reveal the ring
"Holy shit" Pansy takes my hand in hers to examine the ring. Daphne squeals with excitement
"How did it happened? how did you ask her Draco? don't you think your a little young?" Astoria blurts out while also looking at the ring
"It, just happened. Didn't really ask her, one day she didn't have a ring on the next day she did"
"What do your parents think?" Blaise asks
"They are thrilled. We're the ones telling them we want to wait till we're older for the wedding. Mum said she wants us to get married at 18"
"She wishes it would be before"
"Yeah well that's not happening" I pull my hand away from Pansy and cross my arms. The rest of the journey to school consists of questions being asked about summer, our engagement and how we are this years prefects.

When we arrive Draco and I get off the train and spot Potter in front of us
"I'm surprised the Ministry's still letting you walk around free Potter. Better enjoy it while you can. I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name on it" Harry's fist clench and he goes to punch Draco, but Ron stops him "what'd I tell you? Complete nutter" Draco takes my hand in his and we walk off as Harry shouts
"Just stay away from me!" we get into a carriage with the others and we head to school where we eat our dinner
"Good evening, children" Dumbledore interrupts "now, we have two changes in staffing this year. We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank... who'll be taking Care of Magical Creatures... while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave" Dumbledore stands up in front of us all as we continue to eat "we also wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... Professor Dolores Umbridge. And I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the professor good luck. Now, as usual, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you..." Professor Dumbledore gets cut off. The woman walks to the centre of the stage
"Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright, happy faces smiling up at me. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends. The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school... progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged" I frown not understanding  "let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected... and prune practices that ought to be prohibited" the woman giggles then walks away. Dumbledore claps, to which  everyone else follows
"Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating"
"My fathers talked about her before, she's a pain in the back side but if you get on her good side she'll leave you alone. Even reward us" Draco says to our table and we turn our attention back back to our food
"Im just confused, dad said that the Ministry would be having more of a say here. Progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged" I mock Umbridge making the others laugh
"This will be a fun year" Pansy says in a bored tone
"As if it will be. You think I will allow that to happen? please. We're going to have so much fun" i smirk already thinking of ways to make this year exciting, such as a party with fire whisky.
