Back to the story

Harry Potter stepped onto the Hogwarts Express, ready for his final year at Hogwarts

Harry Potter stepped onto platform 9 3/4, ready for his final year at Hogwarts. The students around him were talking loudly and laughing with their friends, all eager to share their stories from the summer holidays with one and other.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Ron grinning madly at him, Harry pulled Ron into a hug, he hadn't seen him or Hermione all holiday. Sirius and Remus took him to France this summer, he had never been abroad before, the Dursley's used to leave him with Mrs. Fig for 2 weeks, he always hated it. So he got to spend 6 weeks all over France, the Black family had a variety of houses in France, and they stayed in each and every one. They even did it the muggle way, Harry was desperate to go on an Aeroplane because he felt it an experience he had missed out on. So Remus booked the flights and off they went, Harry found it most amusing to watch the two of them on a plane, and in muggle "territory".

"Alright Harry! How was France?"

Harry grinned back at him, "It was brilliant, I had loads of fun, where's 'Mione?"

Harry looked past Ron to see Hermione in deep conversation on a mobile phone.

Ron rolled his eyes, "She's been like that all summer, constantly talking down that cuboid, she always goes out of the room for them aswell, its really odd."

Hermione hung up her phone and beamed when she saw Harry,

"Harry! It's so good to see you! How was France? I love it there, isn't it beautiful? You were careful though weren't you? I know how Sirius can be, you could have wandered off anywhere and he wouldn't have noticed. There may be no more Voldemort, but there are still dangerous muggles about"

Harry smiled and hugged her, "It's good to see you too 'Mione. Shall we go and get a carriage?"

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, "We can't, we have to sit in the head boy and girl carriage"

"Both of you?" Asked Harry shocked. "I thought it'd be you and Malfoy" He said notioning to Hermione.

"Well apparently Malfoy was offered and turned it down!" Said Hermione, ignoring the indignant "HEY" from Ron, cross at Harry for not thinking of him as being head boy.

"Malfoy turned it down? He must be ill, and anyway I didn't think you could have head boy and girl from the same house."

Hermione shook her head in slight amusement. "Harry? Your parents?"

Harry went red, "Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Oh well, I'll go and find Luna and Neville, see you at dinner."

Harry walked along on the train isle, looking for an empty carriage. He eventually found one, put his luggage in the holsters and sat down.


"You're a WHAT?" Pansy cried. Blaise sat smugly and said, "I already knew that."
Pansy turned to Draco, looking to kill. "HE knew before me?!"

Draco looked terrified for a moment and hurriedly explained. "No, I didn't even know until the day before my birthday, I haven't told anyone, I have NO idea what he's on about."

"I figured it out ages ago."

"How?"

Blaise looked at them as if it was the simplest thing in the world, "I was looking at the Veela historical records for history of magic and I ended up on your family tree, simple. Plus have you ever seen hair like that, that wasn't on a Veela?! The clues are all there, you guys just don't look hard enough."

Pansy looked at him in amazement, "You were doing homework? You never do homework!"

Draco laughed.

"So, how do you find your mate?" Pansy asked.

Draco hadn't really made much of a plan of action, he wasn't sure if he wanted to know who it was to be honest. "Well I suppose I'll just know when I see them"

"Well anyhow, it's a good thing your bi Drake, imagine you were gay and you ended up with a girl, or the other way around." Blaise pointed out.

"Yeah, plus you wont ever be old and still single this way" Added Pansy

"Right, just old and with someone I hate for the rest of my life" Draco grumbled.

Pansy tutted, "Don't think so negatively, you might end up with someone decent"

"Anything off the trolley dears?"

Draco reached into his pocket, "3 pumpkin pasties please"

"That'll be 11 sickles darling"

Draco munched on his pasty thoughtfully, 'maybe Pansy's right' he thought, watching Pansy and Blaise argue over who got the biggest pasty, 'maybe I'm being to negative about this whole situation, it could always turn out better than first thought'


The train eventually came to a halt; Harry picked up his bag and stepped out of the train doors and onto the platform. As he walked through the busy crowd he began to wish Hermione and Ron weren't headboy and girl, it meant he couldn't spend time with his best friends, and no more sharing a dorm with Ron, he has his own quarters now. He couldn't really hang around with Dean and Seamus; they're a couple so that would make him a third wheel, same with Luna and Neville. With his heart slowly sinking, he realised this year might not be as good after all. He ended up sitting in a coach full of giggling 3rd years, constantly whispering about him, he just tried to ignore them and think of the positives about this year. For starters, Remus was coming back to teach DADA and Sirius would be about the castle too, Harry then became suddenly excited as the thought of quidditch crossed his mind. He loved quidditch, and he loved being captain, 'There' he thought 'That's where I'll focus all my attention, quidditch.'

The coach stopped and Harry shot out of the door as fast as he could, he petted one of the thesterals as he went passed and got weird looks off the people who didn't know they were there.

Hurrying to the great hall, not really watching where he was going, his body collided with another.

An angry "Watch it Potter!" Came from the persons mouth.

"Sorry Pansy" Harry said meekly and sped off through the students.

Draco caught up quickly with Pansy, "Who was that?"

"Potter" Pansy replied, "Bumped in to me, told him to watch himself"

Draco nodded, he could just see the back of Potter, but he looked different, Draco couldn't describe how, but he just did. They slowly made their way to the great hall and took their seats.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, lets begin with our sorting ceremony" Dumbledore announced

At these words, the great hall doors flung open and Mcgonnagol and a group of 1st years arrived.

"Aston, Araminta."

A timid blonde girl sat on the old stool and the sorting hat was placed on her head, covering her eyes.

"RAVENCLAW"

Ron looked along the table and whispered. "Anyone's siblings from Gryffindor this year?"
Most people shook their head, some people just ignored him.

"Thankgod," He muttered to Harry. "No more Dennis Creaveys this year"

Harry smiled lightly back at Ron.

"Johnson, Abbie"

"SLYTHERIN"

Harry watched as the pixie eared girl sat down at the Slytherin table.
As he scanned up and down the table, his eyes locked with someone elses.

Draco felt his breath stop as Harry met his gaze, his peircing green eyes bored into him, Draco felt weird,
'He's amazing, theres so much power coming from him'

Harry's skin was tingling, 'Why's he staring at me?'

Draco's eyes watched his face, his gorgeous brown locks tumbling onto his face in that messy look, his amazing green eyes looked at him in confusion, his lips slightly parted. He had the sudden urge to touch him.

Draco suddenly realised what this meant.

"Oh you got to be kidding me"

R&R?

I'm kinda slow at thinking, sorry it took at while
I also think it still could have been longer and better, but i wanted to end it here, seemed like a good place to end the chapter.
