(Ophelia's POV)
This summer has...interesting. There's a bunch of Death Eaters in the house, and I'm pretty sure someone is locked in the basement. Besides that, it's been alright.

I know, I know, my priorities are shit.

But I'm glad Draco and I are back together. But there's one thing we forgot. We forgot to tell Blaise and Pansy.

Today is the first day back. Like the five years before, we board the Hogwarts Express. This time, without Eliott being on the train.

Of course, Pansy and Blaise were sitting next to each other at a table

"Hey guys," Pansy says, confused about why Draco and I were together

"Oh right, uh...we'll explain later," I say as we sit down. How are we going to explain this?

Most of the train ride was pretty awkward. No one knew what to say. Suddenly the whole compartment goes black.

"What was that? Blaise?" Draco asks, abruptly standing

"Dunno" Blaise responds as he stands too

"Relax, it's probably just a first-year messing around," I say

"Come on boys, we'll be at Hogwarts soon" Pansy adds

"Hogwarts, what a pathetic excuse for a school" Draco scoffs

"I think I'd pitch myself off the astronomy tower if I have to continue for another two years"

"What's that supposed to mean?' Pansy asks

"Let's just say, I don't think you'll see me wasting my time in charms class next year" Draco responds, Blaise sniggers

"Amused Blaise? We'll see just who's laughing in the end" Draco says. We all exchange looks.

Suddenly he looks up, where our bags are.

"What?" I ask looking up too

"It's nothing," Draco says

We finally arrive. Hagrid outside beckoning the first years to come out.

"You coming?" I ask

"You three go on, I wanna check something," Draco says

"Ok, what the hell happened?" Pansy asks the second we get off the train

"Yeah, last term he didn't even want to breathe the same air as us, and now he's acting friendly?" Blaise adds

"As I said, we'll explain later," I say nudging them forward into the carriage

"Also why didn't you answer my letters all summer?" Pansy asks

"I was...at the Malfoy Manor" I mumble

"Ok, I am so confused" Pansy chuckles

"Oh...did you guys? Ya know?" Blaise smirks

"No! We didn't!" I exclaim

"Come on! You stay the whole summer at your boyfriend's house and you didn't do anything?"

"No, because I am a respectful human being and I don't 'do it' at his parent's house, while his mother and..." I paused before I could say Death Eaters

"And?" Pansy asks

"Just his mother. While his mother and him are in the house" I correct myself. That made no sense.

"Besides Blaise, why do you care?" I ask

"Just making sure you were having fun during the summer" he winks
