Harry grabbed my arm as I let out a low growl. Lucius turned and sneered at us.

"Impressive, your knack for escaping. Almost... snakelike.." he said. Harry glared.

"We're good at that. Escaping. I've been doing it for years. Living on the streets is quite a bore." I snarled. We were having a staring match, and he said something to me, not out loud. that look.

We're going to get you back for this. We'll kill both of you. I smirked.

I'd like to see you try.

When we left, I was furious. ember wanted to hunt him down and kill him then and there.

Harry and Arthur managed to drag me back to Grimmuald place without me turning around, but when we got there a large dummy was conjured, which I promptly shifted and ripped to shreds. Ginny stared as I shifted back ,panting.

"What's up with her?" Sirius asked.

"Lucius Malfoy." I replied, still ticked. Fred came over.

"Are you expelled?" he asked worriedly.

"We both got off." Harry said, and the good mood returned. The twins and Ginny were doing a sort of war chant going

"They got off! they got off! They got off!" and everyone was celebrating.

Without the dread that I may not ever go back to Hogwarts, the last hours of summer were wonderful. My trunk packed and Sierra at hogwarts already from giving the results of the hearing to Hagrid, we drank one last mug of Butterbeer before going to sleep.

The train ride was fairly uneventful, but the sorting hat's song was different.

In times of old, when I was new,

And Hogwarts barely started,

The founders of our noble school

Thought never to be parted.

United by a common goal,

They had the selfsame yearning

To make the world's best magic school

And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach"

The four good friends decided.

And never did they dream that they

Might some day be divided.

For were there such friends anywhere

As Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless it was the second pair

Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,

So how could it have gone so wrong?

How could such friendships fail?

Why, I was there, so I can tell

The whole sad, sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those

Whose ancestry's purest."

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose

Intelligence is surest"

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those

With brave deeds to their name."

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot

And treat them just the same."
