There was one hour left until the train departed, and Sasuke was already ready. He wore Muggle clothes with the Uchiha clan emblem on the back. He called the Alpha elf to take him to Platform 9¾.

As soon as he boarded the train, he was greeted by all his housemates. They invited him to sit with them, but he declined. Sasuke searched for an empty compartment and, upon finding one, decided to take a short nap until his friends arrived.

40 minutes later

Zacharias and Luna appeared. Sasuke woke up when he sensed their presence outside the door.

Luna: It's been a while, Sasuke. How are you?

Zacharias: How was your vacation?

Sasuke: First of all, I'm fine. As for the vacation... most of it was very nice, but the last week was a nightmare.

Luna and Zacharias looked puzzled and asked for an explanation. At that moment, the train began to move. Sasuke explained that he spent most of his vacation in another country, but they were more interested in why the last week had been a nightmare.

Sasuke: It was a nightmare because I was invited to a party at the Malfoy Mansion and then found out it was actually a blind date event. They were looking for a wife for me, and those foreign girls wouldn't stop bothering me.

Luna started laughing, imagining the emo's frustrated expression, while Zacharias felt a twinge of jealousy, though it soon passed.

Luna: Who do you think the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be?

Zacharias: I don't know, but let's analyze the pattern so far.

1. A fraud

2. A werewolf

3. A Death Eater

4. ???

Sasuke: Maybe it'll be a giant.

Luna: It could be a Heliopath.

Zacharias/Sasuke: A what?

Luna: Heliopath. They are fire spirits.

Sasuke: Like ghosts.

At that moment, the snack trolley passed by. Sasuke got up and bought some sweets for them.

After the trolley moved on, Sasuke took out another bag he had brought and told Luna and Zacharias to help themselves. Inside the bag were various sweets and Muggle treats like cookies, chocolate, caramel, gum, snacks, etc.

Meanwhile, in another compartment, Neville, Ginny, and Harry were gathered when the door opened, and Ron and Hermione entered.

Ron: I'm starving. - He placed Pigwidgeon next to Hedwig and grabbed the chocolate frog from Harry's hand. He bit the head off the frog and leaned back against the seat, eyes closed as if he had had a tiring morning.

Hermione: There are two fifth-year prefects in each house. - She said as she sat down. - One boy and one girl.

Ron: Do you know who the Slytherin prefect is? - He asked.

Harry: Malfoy. - He replied instantly.

Ron: Of course. - He said while finishing the rest of the chocolate frog.

Hermione: Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. I don't know how they became prefects if they're dumber than a troll.

Harry: Who are the Hufflepuff prefects?

Ron: Ernie Macmillian and Hannah Abbott.

Hermione: Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil are the Ravenclaw prefects.

Ron: We have to patrol the corridors from time to time, and we can punish students if they misbehave. - He said with a mischievous grin. - I want to catch Uchiha, Crabbe, and Goyle doing something...

Hermione: You shouldn't take advantage of your position, Ron.

Ron: Yeah, right. As if Malfoy wouldn't take advantage of his position. - He said sarcastically.

Hermione: And do you think you'll be any better than him doing the same thing?

Ron: No, I'll just make sure to catch his friends before he catches mine.

Back in the emo's compartment, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle entered and greeted everyone. Zacharias returned the greeting coldly, while Luna was very cheerful and invited them to sit down.

The three accepted Luna's invitation because they didn't want to make the emo angry by refusing. Luna offered them some sweets as they chatted. Crabbe and Goyle eagerly tasted the treats, happy to discover that the trolley lady had brought new delicacies.

Crabbe/Goyle: We need to go buy more of these new treats before they run out. - They thought.

Draco was sipping soda, thrilled by the flavor and the bubbly sensation in his mouth.

They talked about Quidditch practice, and Draco said that if the emo needed anything, he should talk to him. Draco had much more influence now that he was a prefect. The three stood up and said goodbye to leave the compartment.

Some time later, the train was already approaching its destination. Zacharias and Sasuke left the compartment so that Luna could change. Afterward, they both entered, and Luna had to leave.
