I was walking to the Defense against the dark arts, when I noticed the twins pulling Iris along. She looked furious no doubt someone is responsible. I wonder if Harry would know anything? I sat in my seat when Harry came into view. I write on a parchment and sent it to him. He looked at me with a knowing look. He nods before responding to my note.
'She is mad at Ron and I. We did something reckless and stupid. I will be sorting things out during free period with her.'
I sigh knowing what they did and Iris is probably acting out of fear. The twins should have her calm in a bit maybe she will be more level headed.
Lockheart came out introducing himself. He then passed out a quiz out but the question were about him. They had nothing to do with the dark arts.
After some time he unleashed Cornish Pixies. After they caused some mischief I froze them. Lockhart left it to Harry,Ron,and I to clean up his mess. He is a teacher so we can't do anything about it. "Honestly how he got to be a teacher I don't know." I said Ron made a distasteful remark. "Come on lets just get this done so we can go to our next class." Harry said annoyed by the situation.

I was studying in the library when I heard someone sit infront of me. After a few minutes I pear up from my book on astrology. Sitting across from me looking like a scared rabbit, that is staring down the muzzle of a fox. "What is it Harry?" I said going back to my book. It was another bout of awkward silence as he fidgets in his seat. "Iris I know why you are mad at me. It was reckless and out of line but Ron and I saw no other way. Please I need your help with something." I look up staring him down. "Go on I'm listening." I said slowly. He proceeded to explain the day leading up to the train station. Hmmm the elf he said went by Dobie. Could it be that Dobie that serves the Malfoy family. I sigh knowing only one way to find out. "Go on with your classes I will look into it. I have hunch on who's house elf Dobie is." I said he smiled and walked away. "Why can't I stay mad at people. I can't be nice all the time it's not something a business owner can afford." I said to myself gathering my things.
"You know its not always a bad thing to be nice dear daughter." My dad said scaring the daylights out of me. "DAD YOU NEED TO STOP DOING THAT!" I yell making him laugh. "Come dinner is almost ready and I do believe it's our night to have dinner together."
He said helping me with my bag. I honestly don't know why people say he is a bad guy. I know daddy can be intimidating but he is a nice guy. We walked threw the halls talking about my day and what I plan to do after Hogworts. Though he knows I want to open my own shop. When we got to the potions class room he pulled out a box. "Your mother asked me to give you this when you were preparing to get your own place. It was only yesterday you would cling to me during a thunder storm.
The first time you attempted to make a potion you were just a brilliant little spot waiting for your time to shine. You are still a brilliant little spot and will always be my clever little girl." He said I hug him before opening the box. Inside was an old leather bound book. I recognized it right away. "This was mum's old jernal but I thought...." I couldn't speak flipping threw the pages. Her thoughts still preserved on every page. "I miss her dad not a day goes by that I don't revisit that night. I know mum put me in the closet to protect me. Why did he do it they were his friends." I couldn't hold it in from thinking about it. He held me close to him trying to calm me. "I don't know sweetheart but what's done is done and can't be reversed. I miss her too and always will. Iris she is always here with us though. In our hearts and memories she lives on. I also see her when I look at you and Harry. Don't let what happened corrupt you that darkness will never let you go. You are the one good thing I have done in this life." He said before kissing the top of my head. We sat down talking about the house and the decorations. "Your living room sounds like a peacock. Your favorite colors however has always been blue and green. I honestly don't want to see you move out but I know its for Harry's best interest." He said cutting into his stake when we heard yelling. We rushed from the potions class room down hall. I push threw the crowd to see Mrs.Noris strung up. I see the Janitor go after Harry making me stand between them. "HE KILLED MY CAT! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM OUT OF MY WAY GIRL!" he yelled till I pointed my wand. "You will need to go threw me squib." I said in a threatening tone. This made the students whisper and talk. "Iris that is enough and Filch your cat has been petrified and can be reversed. Professor sprout has a healthy patch of mandrake. We can help her so no need for this." Filch wanted Harry's head and everyone wanted to know what happend to that cat. Lockhart informed headmaster that Harry was late to dinner because detention ran over. The students returned to the dorms leaving the teachers to sort everything out.
