Hogwarts Express No POV

Wade was sitting in a compartment with Penny, Tonks, Chiara, Ben, and Talbott.

Luna: Quibbler?<knocks on the compartment door>

Tonks:<opens it>

Luna: Quibbler?

Tonks: we'll take... <looks back> four of them.

Luna:<hands her four>

Tonks: thanks, Luna.

Luna:<keeps walking>

Tonks:<gives the other three to Ben, Penny, and Chiara>

Ben: wow. The Quibbler is so much more interesting than the Daily Prophet.

Penny: that's Luna and her father for you. Interesting.

Talbott: Andre and I always felt bad for her when she gets bullied for being herself.

Chiara: as you should.

Wade: anything interesting in there?

Tonks: until I find out, not so much. The Twins wanted me to tell you that if you ever go to their store, anything there is free of charge for you.

Wade: I'll thank them the next time I see them. Have you guys seen Merula or her cronies?

Talbott: they're farther ahead on the train, why?

Wade: excuse me. <gets out and heads to the front>

Elsewhere in the train

Merula, Barnaby and Ismelda were sitting on an open table that was next to Draco's table where Pansy and Blaise were sitting with him. Suddenly some blue smoke covered the entire caboose making everyone chatter in surprise.

Draco: what was that? Blaise?

Blaise: I don't know.

Pansy: relax, boys. It's probably just a first-year messing around. We'll be at Hogwarts soon.

Everyone settled down as the smoke cleared.

Draco: Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse for a school. I'd pitch myself off the Astronomy tower if I had to continue for another two years.

Pansy: what's that supposed to mean?

Draco: let's just say I don't think you'll see me wasting my time in Charms class next year.

Blaise:<chuckles>

Draco: amused, Blaise? We'll see just who's laughing in the end.

Draco looked up and saw something move his briefcase. Wade walked over as he stood next to Merula's table.

Merula: Torchwick.

Wade: May I sit?

Merula nodded as Wade sat down next to Merula.

Wade: are you all okay?

Barnaby; we're fine.

Ismelda: we should been asking you that question.

Merula: how was... how was the... will reading?

Wade: it was... fine. My dad left me his fortune and the house along with the land and all his possessions.

Merula: will you be okay?

Wade: I'll be fine. <takes some snacks out of his pocket> these are for you. <grabs one snack and tosses it to Malfoy>
