There may be a slight TW, but I don't know.

Eliza's POV:
I was tossing and turning in my sleep, and then I woke up with a jolt. Sweat dripping down my forehead, I had been having a lot of nightmares recently. Ever since all of these death eaters have been around the mannor, I have felt on edge. The time was 5:45 a.m., 'just great.' I thought, whenever I have nightmares, I can never get back to sleep, so I just laid in my bed staring at green canopy. The only light in the room was from the candle on my bedside table. I was staring at the canopy for 15 minutes, and I couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to get up. Normally, Matt was up by now.
I have nicknames for all of my friends well their more like my family, but I gave them all nicknames:
Thomas is Tom or Tommy (but I'm the only one aloud to call him Tommy)
Mattheo is Matt
Void is Sti
Theodore is Theo
Draco is Dray
Pansy is Pans
Peter is Pete
Five is Veeves,
Blaise is Bini
Lorenzo is Enzo
And to the other, I'm Liza, but some have different nicknames for me, but I'm normally Liza.
I put on my nightgown and grabbed the candle off my bedside table, left my room, walked down the hallway, and knocked on Matt's door. I stood there for a few seconds before hearing footsteps inside his room, and then he opened the door. He was in a pair of slytherin pjs, we were all given them last year at christmas my mother thought that it would be a good idea so she got us all matching pjs. The first thing he did was pull me inside and sat me down on his bed. He took the candle out of my hand and placed it on his bedside table, then he kneeled down in front of me, took my hands in his, and looked me in my eye, I  was by far the shortest out of group the youngest and the shortest kinda funny if you think about it. "Have you had another nightmare?" He asked. All I did was nod. This had happened more than once, and it was the same thing every time I  came into his room because he had nightmares as well. We helped each other get through them. After I nodded, he pulled me into a hug, and we stayed like that for a while. Then he pulled away and said, "Do you want to talk about it?"No, can you just destract me?" He just nodded, and then we started talking about Quidditch and all the classes we were looking forward to this year and the ones we wish we didn't have to take. And before we knew it, it was 7:00 am. We decided to go and get ready for the day he gave me one more hug and said, "You go and get ready, ok? Everything will be alright once we're at hogwarts, I promise." I nodded and then went back to my room. Onceni got ready. I put on my robes for hogwarts and put the last little items in my trunk. Then the house elves came and took my trunk downstairs. I had just finished my hair when there was a knock at my door. I go over and open it just to find Enzo standing there with Theo, Dray, and Matt. Enzo asked. "You ready for breakfast?" "Yep already I was just about to go down," I replied, "Well, now you can walk with us." Theo said with one of his usual smirks. "Come, one we're gonna be late, and my Father, the malfoys and  you mother won't be very happy if we are late" Matt said beginning to walk away from my room Enzo then held his arm out for me which I took and we both walked down to breakfast with Theo and Dray not to far behind us talking about who knows what. Breakfast went rather quickly, then before you knew it, it was 9:30 am, and we were all being told to hurry up. Once we arrived at Kings Cross station, my mother looked directly at me and said, "Do not bring disgrace to our family name, do not get into trouble, and you better pass all of your OWLs and NEWTs or else, you have been warned now go" I only gave her a slight nodded and hurried off with the others not to far behind Pans came up to me and linked our arms together she whispered to me "don't listen to her, you just have fun this year nothing will happen" I looked up at her and said "thanks Pans". Once we all found a compartment to sit on, we all put our stuff in the overhead bins and took our seats. Theo was sitting next to the window with me in between him and Matt, then Enzo, Dray and Pan's were next to him, and on the other side was Blaise, Five, Void, Peter and Tom.
I was leaning my head on Theo's shoulder when he rapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him a bit more, and soon enough, I fell asleep. It was peaceful, but that was short-lived as I soon heard the compartment door open and someone poked their head inside and I could tell by how Theo stiffened up that it wasn't someone we liked I slowly opened my eyes when Dray spat out "what do you want Pottah?" I finally opened my eyes when Harry says "nothing malfoy, I was just looking for a free compartment" Tom then says venomously "Well your in the slytherin part of the train pottah no one down here is going to let you sit with them now are they?" Harry looked at Tom with the biggest death glare I have ever seen. "Maybe try somewhere else, Potter. I don't think you will find a seat anywhere down here." I said politely, trying to defuse the tension. His head snaps towards me, and he says,"No one was talking to you, Rosier." I shrink into myself and lean more on Theo in which he tightens his grip on my shoulders, sorta like a small hug, now when Harry said that he flicked a switch in everyone's brains that is when you attack or say something about one of us you have to deal with all of us. Void immediately jumps to my defense and says "pottah if you know what's good for, I would leave, now." He says, looking directly at Harry, and if looks could kill, Harry would definitely be dead, and plus, with the amount of people glaring at him.
Harry says, "I was just leaving Stiles." Then he turns on his heel and walks back out with Ron and Hermione following him. Five looks at me and says, "He had no right to say that you were just being nice" then Tom pipes up and says "maybe a little to nice, Liza you know that was pottah right. The same one who we all hate, including you?" I reply "yea I know. I just didn't want to start off the year with an argument" they all look at me and then Theo squeezes my shoulders and says "well he doesn't matter so technically you haven't started the year off with a fight." I smile at him, and then soon everyone goes back to their conversations. Soon enough, we can see hogwarts as the train gets closer once the train stops the boys. Get me and Pansy's trunks for us, and then we all exit the train and head for the carriages. I can tell this is already going to be a great year as long as I have my friends with me. Nothing bad can happen.
