{{Summary: Cynthia's first 'meeting' with the Dementors. Shows how they act around her and how she acts around them, sort of.
Pairings: None}}

Notes: I do not own A Different Life.


(Third Person POV)


Draco Malfoy, Cynthia Mortimer-Bellum, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Nott, and Millicent Bulstrode were walking to Hogsmeade. Ever since the Azkaban escapee, Auctrix, had escaped the prison, Dementors had been placed at the school entrace.

So, naturally, it was freezing cold -- adding to the season being Winter. . . .

Oddly enough, Cythnia was standing at the entrace, like she didn't even feel the cold. And, even più oddly, some of the Dementors were drifting towards her, tilting their heads to the side curiously while she did the same.

"Cynthia!" yelled Draco uncertainly.

Seeming to snap out of it, Cynthia turned her to the side, looking at him with an elegant eyebrow raised.

He gave her a look that clearly detto 'Come on!' while the others--and Draco himself--stood, shivering.

She looked back towards the Dementors one last time, waved, then walked off towards Hogsmeade, the others trailing behind her.
