As Scarlett and her parents arrived at Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Shouts of 'goodbye' to loved ones echoed through the station. Excitement trailed through Scarlett's body as the train drew closer to the platform.

Scarlett was nervous of course. She doesn't know what this year will bring. No one knows what this year begins. Everyone still seems pretty shaken up since last year's incident with Cedric Diggory and the Triwizard Tournament.

When Scarlett looked to her right she saw her parents patiently waiting for the train and to her left Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, and Draco huddled in a group talking. When she looked over her eyes locked onto Draco noticing his features such as his platinum blonde hair, sharp jawline, and his cold grey-blue eyes. Scarlett would be lying if she ever denied that he wasn't attractive.

As the train came to a quick stop a loud screech echoed through the platform causing Scarlett to get out of her trance.

"Please be careful and don't get into any trouble Scarlett," her concerned mothers' voice spoke, reaching in for a hug which Scarlett accepted. She bid her goodbyes and I love yous to her parents before stepping onto the train. Scarlett placed her trunks along with the others and headed out on her mission to find Luna like every year.

The Amaras and the Lovegoods have always been close since Scarlett and Luna were still in diapers and sleeping in wooden cots. Scarlett always thought of Luna as a sister and Luna felt the same way. Once Luna's Mother died, Pandora. Scarlett would hang out with Luna a lot making sure she was okay and her parents looked out for Xenophilius to make sure he was okay too.

As Scarlett was strolling through the long carts of the train she passed by Draco's. Pansy and Blaise were conversing while Draco was giving Scarlett a death stare. Like a predator watching its prey waiting for the right moment to attack. His gaze never left her as she passed. Him noticing her dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and her little spotted freckles on the bridge of her nose along her cheeks. They have never gotten along.

Draco being prejudiced, arrogant, and selfish. While Scarlett was selfless, humble, and fair. If Draco hated her so much why can't he just leave her alone? He can't. It's not in the Draco nature of course.

Before he knew it the moment to attack was long gone.

"Look who decided to show her face this year. I wonder who she's doing this year? I think a Weasley!" Pansy declared, not so loud so Scarlett couldn't hear her. Draco still had his eyes pinned on her back watching her walk further away from their booth. Blaise silently shook his head thinking of a snotty remark to make, but Pansy already said it for him. He'll think of something.

"Maybe even Potter," Blaise laughed.

"She's already done that," Pansy nudged into Blaise. 

"Oh please," Draco scoffed, while his face rose in disgust. His lips curled and his brows furrowed.

He tried to look at something other than the two people before him so he turned towards the window. When he looked out the window all he saw were parents waving goodbye to their kids which made him even more revolted.

I fucking hate this place

"Scarlett!" a familiar voice chimed from down the cart. It was Luna Lovegood. She had on a kind smile and her blond hair flowed just past her shoulders a little. Luna started waving Scarlett in her direction to follow her towards her compartment. When Scarlett looked into the compartment she saw Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom.
