I boarded the Hogwarts express feeling more alone than ever, I mean I have always felt lonely going back to school as I don't really make friends that easily but this year it was a different kind of lonely. I made my way towards my usual compartment on the train and take my seat not really expecting anyone to show up, as no one ever sits next to me on the train. To my surprise I notice three third years at the door of my compartment. I recognized them instantly they were non other than Hermione Granger, Harry potter and worst of all Ron Weasley. 

Just great i thought to myself. You see I don't exactly have a good relationship with the Weasley's as the twins are in the same year as me and we are practically always at each others throats. I remember the once where I got told off by Professor Snape for telling George that I would hit him around the head with his own beater's bat in our next quidditch game. Needless to say I got detention and about 50 house points taken from Gryffindor. 

"Hey, sorry to bug you but do you mind if we sit here everywhere else is full." Hermione asked.

I just simply nodded my head in response not really feeling in the mood to make conversation. The three of them sat down and began to immerse themselves into a conversation. I decided to use this time to try and catch up with some of the work I was supposed to do over the summer term because lets be honest who actually does school work when you aren't at school. I chose to begin by looking over some of the potions that Snape had asked us to memorize. I don't mind potions that much to be honest, it's more or less Snape that's the problem and the fact he sat me next to George Weasley. I was about to change books when I noticed all three of them staring at me.

"Something up?" I questioned with my eyes fixed on the floor trying to find my care of magical creatures book.

"You are a filthy slut you are." Ron snickered.

"What do you mean?" I asked genuinely confused as I pulled my book out of my bag. 

"You know exactly what you have done." Ron responded angrily. 

"Ronald, have you ever thought for a moment to not listen to stupid rumors." Hermione said. 

"Hang on, what the fuck is going on, what rumor is he talking about?" I asked Hermione as I switched my gaze to meet her eyes. 

"You haven't heard?" I shook my head, "Apparently you slept with Jackson in year six." Hermione replied calmly.  

"What the hell, I think I have spoken with him like once." I half screamed at her by accident. "Sorry" I said solemnly. 

"Yeah, yeah we all know you did so stop lying and shut the hell up." Ron practically growled at me. 

From that point on I decided to just ignore the three of them despite the fact that Hermione and Harry had given me a supportive glance, as if to tell me they didn't really believe the rumors. I just couldn't believe it, we haven't even started the school year and the rumors had already started. It was probably the stupid Weasley twins, they have always started rumors at the beginning of the year but they never usually started this early and this bad. I pushed the thought of the rumor to the side and began to look over my care of magical creatures book. I quite enjoy care of magical creatures as animals have always been an interest of mine, I remember when I was little and my mom and dad took me into the forest near our house to go and see what animals we could find. I wish that memories like that could stay forever but the sad reality is nothing lasts forever. 

Halfway through the train journey I noticed that the trolley lady hadn't came around. Weird I thought to myself by now she has usually made her way around the whole off the train. That's when I had realized that the train had came to a halt. What on Earth is going on?

"Why are we stopping, we can't be there yet." Hermione stated as harry got out of his seat and made his way towards the door of the compartment. 

Suddenly, the train shook moving Harry back into his seat. I decided to swap books yet again at this stage as I had looked over what I thought I needed to remember and anything I didn't, well I could just ramble my way through some kind of an answer. That's when everything went dark. No lights, nothing. 

"There's something moving out there." Ron scaredly complained as he moved his way towards the window as the lights flashed. 

That's when the train went back into darkness as it began to shake itself once more leaving all of us on edge. Then, the window started to freeze over and thee whole train went freezing cold and an uneasy feeling washed over me. That's when I noticed a black shadow like creating slowly moving towards the door, it took me a moment to realize what it was. It was a dementor. I quickly grabbed my wand and held it in my hand just incase anything happened. The dementor curled its fingers around the door and pried it open, before taking a quick moment to look around. That's when it locked eyes with Harry and began to suck all the happiness out of him. The feeling you get when there is a dementor near can only be described as a sense that you will never experience joy, happiness or even love again. Before I even had time to realize what I was doing, I found myself conjuring a patronus charm that was only just about big enough to scare the dementor away. 

Once it was gone, I looked around to see if Hermione and the Weasley were ok before shifting my focus over to Harry, who had passed out.

"Harry can you hear me?" I questioned in a calm tone as I didn't want to scare him if he were to wake up at that moment. 

"Oi he doesn't need your help you slut." Ron sneered at me before Hermione calmed him down, trying to explain to him it was natural for someone to be worried if they had just witnessed someone pass out from a dementor attack. 

After about a minute, Harry had finally came around.

I gave him his glasses back to which he thanked me. "Here eat this it will help you feel a bit better," I said after pulling some chocolate out my bag, he gave me a weird glare. "It's alright it's only chocolate."

Hermione gave Harry a small nod as if to tell him it was ok to eat it. Ron on the other-hand just gave me a dirty look. I just ignored him I mean no point trying to make friends with a third year anyway and I would definitely not be caught dead making friends with a Weasley. He's probably just like Fred and George.

"What was that thing?" Harry asked me pulling me out of my trail of thought. 

"It was a dementor." I replied softly.

Harry nodded his head in response and began to eat the chocolate that I had given him. They then started to talk to each other again which left me alone with my thoughts for the rest of the journey to Hogwarts.
