as the door slid open for the third time, her brother was standing there, shocked, as if she was a ghost that he didn't know whether to believe was their, but In an instant he turned into a fit of rage that she never really quite seen her brother in before

"Y/N WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?"

Y/N looked at him dazed

"what?"

She said in a small voice

"I TOLD YOU TO BE SENSIBLE? I TOLD YOU TO GO SIT WITH OTHER FIRST YEARS? I TRUSTED TO LEAVE YOU ON YOUR OWN FOR TWO SECONDS AND I TURN MY BACK AND NEXT THING I KNOW YOUR SHARING A CARRIAGE WITH DEATH EATERS?"

her head spun around to Theo and Draco, confused. They looked for very disgruntled, but she could see the temper rising up in Dracos face, his eyes which where once icy blue now resembled a more grey like colour...almost like a dragon.

"I-I-...Harry I didn't-...I didn't know they were deatheaters..."

She said, tears forming and her voice cracking.

"DO THEY LOOK LIKE FRIENDLY PEOPLE?"

He screamed even louder. She could really feel the tears bubbling up now, but she fought to keep them in, with a burst of anger she fought back.

"I DIDNT KNOW! YOU LEFT ME TO GO SIT WITH YOURS MATES AND ALL THE CARRIAGES WERE FULL SO I SAT IN THIS ONE, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON IN HERE AND IT WAS HIM- *she tilted her head to Draco* AND HE JUST READING A BOOK, HE WAS ALONE TILL THEO WALKED IN"

she stared at him, raging, Theo smirking at her and Draco with- a look of slight surprise?

Harry glared daggers into her eyes and grabbed her arm, she tried to pull herself away-

"LET GO"

"Potter why do you care so much"

Draco said cooly, Harry staring at him as if he had asked something utterly ridiculous

"Why the bloody hippogriff do you THINK Malfoy?"

Theo winced

"Draco doesn't do that thinking stuff often Potter"

She laughed, however her brother did not find this funny at all.

"I CARE, because she is my little sister, and as she's the only member of my family left alive and I'd quite like to keep it that way, so leaving her unattended in the hands of future death-eaters is probably not the best way to insure her safety."

Theo gasped

"And the plot thickens..."

Harry wasn't having it, he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the compartment

"Move it Y/N."

He dragged her into a spare compartment and casted a mufliato so as not to be overheard

"Y/N what in Merlin's name where you thinking? I trusted you enough to leave you on your own for a couple hours and that's what you do? they are 16 Y/N...they're parents are deatheaters, they are the next generation of Voldemort supporters, they aren't like us Y/N, they probably want to take advantage of you, their older...much older...and well, um- and your not exactly ugly, also...me and Malfoy-...well...we've had are differences and he might have just been trying to use you to get back at-"

and that's when she lost it.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER. YOU MAY BE THE ALMIGHTY SAVIOR OF THE WIZARDING WORLD BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!! ALL I WAS DOING WAS SITTING IN HIS COMPARTMENT! THATS IT!!! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN"

he didn't look at all convinced...

"Hm. Sure. alright. well your staying down here for now, your staying in this compartment and you are not leaving!"

"your not my dad!"

"Because your dad is dead!"

he said. and all of sudden everything went quite, even the loud sounds of the train hitting the tracks was a mere squeak compare to the thickness of the atmosphere, the kids laughing with there friends and the ruckus of the environment. It felt like the air had been sucked out of their little compartment.

"Y/N I need to take care of you. your all I have left...please promise me you'll stay safe, I need to go back and talk to professor Slughorn about  advanced potions study work this year...please"

Y/N nodded and sighed

"Fine...I promise"

A look of Relief seemed to wash over her brothers face, he thanked her and left the compartment, as Y/N looked around her empty compartment...she could see the rural Scottish countryside fly past her as the train speeds up down the tracks, door slamming from compartments opening, kids shouting and owls hooting...she felt oddly alone, and for the first time, she didn't like it. Her brother had specifically told her not to go back into the slytherin compartment...but did she care?

fuck no.
