"Hi, Y/n!" Hermione ran over to me, pulling me into a warm embrace. She was followed by Harry and Ron who were both waving.

"Hi, Hermione!" I grabbed her and squeezed her tightly, she let out a muffled laugh.

"Where's our hugs?" Harry smiled, I laughed before letting go of Hermione and fixing her hair slightly before going over to Harry and Ron and giving them a quick hug each. I let them all go and went back to standing next to Hermione.

"So how was everyone's summer?" I asked.

"Great to be honest!" Hermione responded, "I've been studying so I've found out a couple of interesting things." She giggled.

"Of course you did." I grinned at her, she gently pushed me on the shoulder resulting in both of us laughing.

"What about you two?" Hermione pointed at Harry and Ron.

"Harry stayed with me almost the entire summer." Ron put his arm around Harry and pulled him into a sort of hug before letting him go.

"Yeah it was awesome, we played Quidditch and it was great." Harry laughed at Ron, "What about you y/n?" Harry asked.

"I went home and spent some time with my family, I didn't do much else though." I shrugged, "Honestly I wish we could of all me-" I was then cut off by a recognisable, annoying voice,

"Well well, looks like the Freak Show is back in action. Potter, Jones, Granger and Weasley. The useless bunch." He scoffed.

"Leave us alone, Malfoy." Harry said, anger seething through his voice.

"Or what, Potter?" Draco walked over to Harry getting into his face, "what are you going to do."

"We will make you." Ron clenched his fist tightly.

"Tut tut. We don't want my father to hear about, do we?" Draco looked at Harry and then Ron, he pushed him on his shoulders. Ron was preparing his punch, I quickly recognised this and thought it would be best if I tried to stop it.

"Malfoy." I ran in front of Ron gently pushing him behind me, "Dumbledore wouldn't want to hear of this either, so please back off. We don't want to fight." I got in his face a little more just for him to know that I was serious.

"Tsk- Jones, always getting involved, saving their backs." Draco grumbled, "I have better things to do than waste my time on you freaks. Crabbe, Goyle let's go." Draco yelled, he looked me up and down once more before he hit me with his shoulder while walking off.

"Ugh, Malfoys." I frowned.

"Are you alright?" Hermione ran over and put her palm to my face, rubbing my cheek.
