The train ride home was long and yet too fast. I did not, repeat, did not want to go to the Dursley's. Of course, before I went there, I stopped by the Malfoy's to see father.

*At the Malfoy's*

"Father!" I yelled, running through the house, only to smack into him as I rounded a corner.

"Slow down," he smiled and I laughed.

"Oh my Merlin," I whispered and then hugged him.

"We did it!" I yelled and then did a victory dance.

"Calm down, child," he chuckled.

"This is totally awesome!" I said in awe and he shook his head.

"Any way, where's Barty?" I asked and he grimaced.

"I plan on having Bellatrix bust him out after I bust her out," he shrugged.

"Oh I get to meet Bella," I said, wiggling my eyebrows and he sneered.

"Yes, and?"

"She's your girl," I said teasingly.

"I don't know where you heard that," he shook his head, and I saw someone round the corner.

"Mm!" I gasped, and she looked at me sheepishly. I looked at dad, who had an emotionless expression, but his eyes told the story; she was here for him. That's just too cute. I looked back at mum and she seemed happy, but I wonder where Frank was.

"Where's Frank?" I asked bluntly. Her smile dropped and she shifted. She bit her lip and sighed, opening her mouth and then closing it.

"Cant you just admit it? Obviously I didn't get my abrupt honesty and bad girl vibe from you," I snorted.

"Don't speak to me like that young lady," she said firmly and I snorted again.

"What are you, a muggle? I'm no 'young lady'," I snickered, and father did too.

"Behave, dear. However, Leah's right, besides she's higher up the ladder than you," he shrugged and I stared at mum.

"Any way, basically you're cheating on that weirdo Frank," I said, wrinkling my nose.

"No!" mum gasped and I frowned.

"I was almost proud of you," I teased.

"Why are you here then?" I asked and she sighed.

"I figured you'd want your family together...and I'll try to be more badass," she said.

"Thank Merlin," I said, and we were actually a family for a bit; something I've never had before.

*Back on the Train*

"We're at Kings Cross," Potter said dully, and I groaned.

"I hate muggle's," I complained and Potter shook his head.

"I see Voldemort in you more and more everyday," he admitted.

"Gee thanks," I said sarcastically, lugging my suite case along with Alisana. Alisana hooted when I almost dropped the cage, and I ignored it, knowing she was fine. Hedwig was eyeing up Alisana and I wondered if Hedwig was secretly a boy. What if Alisana is a boy? No, she's already all cozy with Draco's Eagle owl. We could see the Dursley's, who looked miserable, and then Draco ran up.

"Wait," he panted and then lightly kissed me.

"Have a great summer, and if you don't write me, I will kill you," he teased.

"I'll take you up on that," I smirked and Potter glared in the opposite direction; jealous git.

"I'll visit," I promised.
