Draco and I got up from the couch early in the morning.
"Time to pack." I say as I stretched.
Draco yawned which made me yawn.
"Let's go." I say as I stood up from the couch.
We headed to our dormitories.

I quickly packed my trunk using my wand.
I take a quick shower and change into everyday clothes.
I grab my trunk and headed out of the dormitory.
I didn't take O/N's cage because she has an extra one at home.
Speaking of, she probably already made it home.

"We should eat something before we leave." Draco suggested.
We all nod and we left our trunks outside of the common room so they could be taken to the train.

We went to the Great Hall and surprisingly, it was packed.
We found an empty space at the Slytherin table and sat down.

We served ourselves some of the food as we talked and laughed about what is to come.

"Those who are heading home for the holidays, please make your way to the carriages. First years, will head to the boats. Happy Christmas!" Professor McGonagall announced at the stand.
Usually Dumbledore dismissed us but I guess he was busy or something.

We got up and followed the crowd to the carriages.
We find an empty one and climb in.
Soon the carriage began to move.

"It sucks that we don't have any quidditch matches. It's all practice." I tell them.

"Yeah. It's the decree about the student organizations. Umbridge agreed to let the Slytherin team reform, but not anyone else." Draco pointed out.

"My love for quidditch is dying out if I'm being honest.
It's just not fun anymore." I confessed to them.
"Are you thinking of quitting?" Draco asked.
I shake my head. "I don't think so. I'll just finish this year and I'll think about it next year."

We arrived to Hogsmeade Station and we climbed out.

"Hurry on inside." Professor Flitwick shouted as he stood on top of a high platform.
I chuckled at the sight of Professor Flitwick as I headed on inside.

I head to the back of the train and found a compartment.
We sat down and made ourselves comfortable.

"Is your father picking you up? Or are you going home alone again?" Draco asks.
"I'm probably going home alone again. He didn't say anything in the letter." I sigh.
"My father and I can take you home. I'm sure he'll say yes if we ask him." Draco suggests.
"Are you sure? I can just walk home. It's only about a 30 minute walk." I say.
"I am not letting you walk home alone. I'm sure my father will be okay with it." Draco says.
I nod as I mouth the word "okay" with a smile.

Well at least I have a ride home.
The rest of the ride, we joked around.
It came to a point Crabbe had to eat a handful of Bertie's Botts Every Flavor Beans.
He spit them back in the box and made a disgusted face.
Goyle and Draco were laughing so hard, I swear they peed themselves a little.

Awhile later, the train comes to a smooth stop.
We gathered ourselves as we head out of the compartment.
As we walk off of the train, we say bye to Crabbe and Goyle.
We get our trunks and Draco looked around for his father.
"He's over there. Let's go." He gestured to his father.

We walked over to Lucius who was standing by the exit.
"Draco. y/n." He greets in his rough voice as he places his walking stick on the ground.
"Your father has asked me to take you home to your mansion. He said he forgot to mention it in the letter he sent you." Lucius explained.
"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. I hope I'm not a bother." I say to him in a polite voice.
"Not at all, y/n. Now, let's go."
Draco grabs my hand as Lucius holds Draco's shoulder.
I quickly hold on to my trunk before we apparated.
