Safe House

Forth year - Ten

September 1st 1994

It Was the first of September, and I, among the other Hogwarts students was riding the Hogwarts Express back to school.

I was sat in a compartment, Theo beside me, Blaise and Draco sitting opposite.

They were currently catching me up on the week I had missed whilst I stayed at home. Mum was in no way happy when we had got home and babied us all a little extra.

"So how interesting was your week without us then?" Draco asked, kicking my shin to pull my attention from the window

"Well getting shot at and questioned by a much of Ministry wizards on account of a dark mark, Is very hard to beat, The house was loud, by all ten of us being back in the house, Fred & George kept trying to get me to be their test subject for Wesley's Wizard Wheezes, Charlie told me a whole bunch of interesting stuff about Dragons and life in Romania" I shrugged "Ron decided to tell everyone about Adrian, because some prick" I pointed at Draco before kicking him hard "Decided to tell because he was being an idiot, Do you know how annoying it is to have six brothers? I had to sneak out just to see him because they wanted to "meet" him, well Percy... not so much"

"Do you ever stop to breathe?" Blaise asked me, my cheeks blushing red at the realisation of how fast and long I was talking.

There was a knock at the door before it was slid open, Ron was stood there with a face of thunder.

"Weasley, what the hell do you think you're doing here?" Draco asked him

"I'm here for my sister" He said

"What is it, Ron?" I asked

"I think Mum's packed this by mistake, Its either yours or Ginny's" He held out a Maroon fabric with a mold covered lace frill, It was horrible looking.

"That's not mine, get it away from me before something crawls out of it"

"Well its not mine"

"Are you that thick Weasley" Blaise asked my brother "Its dress robes, do you even look at the list? their permitted for this year"

"What?" He blinked at my friend

"ugh come on lets leave I gotta go see someone anyway" I stood up

"What your "older boyfriend? He seems like a dick, Keira" He glared at me as we walked out the compartment.

"Please, Honestly Ronald, you've never met him" I huffed, pushing him out of the door "and he's only in the year above"

"He's a Slytherin, what else is there to know"

"I'm a Slytherin!" I glared at him "Look, Mum gave them to you for dress robes, I guess somethings going on at Hogwarts this year just like Bill, Charlie and Mum were hinting at, now go back to Harry and Hermione and stop being annoying"

"Whatever." and with that he left.

I started my search for Adrian, looking through the compartments without actually looking through them so people wouldn't notice, It was only the fact that I walked into him that I eventually found him.

"Keira, Hey!" He grabbed me by the shoulders to steady me "I missed you, I heard what had happened at the game, crazy"

"Yeah, It was frightful, but everything's cool now" I shrugged

"Yeah, d'you wanna go somewhere more privately?" He asked, taking my hand and leading me down the hallway to find an empty compartment, we had walked past my one and I quickly adverted eye contact, don't ask why, I don't really know why.
