I Solemnly Swear

Year Five

Today we're boarding the Hogwarts express again, but as fifth years! Woohoo! But I again, have a feeling things will be strange.. Harry had been all over newspapers saying 'the dark lord is back' and they're obviously calling him a liar. I hope he isn't back.. That would truly suck.

I grabbed my last suitcase before heading downstairs "look at our beautiful fifth year!" Mum said proudly "definitely a sight for sore eyes" I rolled my eyes and passed the suitcase to dad "take that to the car will you?" He sighed "yes, your highness" I jokingly slapped his arm and turned to mum "you know.. You don't need to come" she scoffed "yes, I do. And I will" mother continued to act strangely so I could only conclude that she was ill and didn't want to tell me. "If you say so" I took a muffin and skipped off to the car.

After reaching the Hogwarts express I turned to my mum and dad "guys.. Something doesn't feel right this year" their eyes widened as they looked to each other "what do you mean, darling?" I shook my head "I don't know.. I just have a strange feeling" dad just shrugged innocently "maybe it's just your nerves" hmm.. Maybe it is. I nodded and watched as some students began boarding the train "well, I guess I'd better get going.." Mum nodded along with dad "alright then, one last hug and then off with 'ya" I smiled and hugged each one of them "I'll miss you mum, you too dad" they smiled still hugging me "we'll miss you too, remember to write! You didn't owl us as much last year" I huffed "there wasn't much to talk about.. But okay, I'll try" it was going fine until there was a throat being cleared right behind me causing me to turn, it was Draco! "Oh, hi Draco" he smiled "hey, want to board the train with me?" I nodded "yeah one second!" I hugged and kissed my parents one last time "bye! Okay, I'm ready" I walked to the train with Draco.

"So.. Why did you want to walk me to the train?" He sighed and discreetly pointed to the left, I peaked behind him and seen Pug-Face who happened to be with her Slytherin friends glaring at me "would you like to explain why we're getting the death stare?" Draco huffed and shrugged "we kind of broke up" WOAH! "I don't think it was a mutual thing.." I noted "yeah.. I broke up with her, she's probably just jealous" I shook my head as we walked into our usual compartment "why'd you guys break up?" He didn't seem to bothered by the breakup at all.. He obviously dumped her. "She was getting on my nerves" seriously? "I know she can be extreme but honestly, you can't dump someone just because they get on your nerves" Draco turned to look at me "and why can't I? Seems like a perfectly good reason to me" I scoffed "it's really not. Okay, let's say I was your girlfriend.. And I constantly did small things to irritate you like hold your hand all the time, would you dump me?" He looked away before what looked to be blush "no.. I guess not" I sighed "see! I was right!" He shrugged "please tell me you're not one of those clingy girls?" I squinted my eyes "and what if I am?!" He laughed "they're so annoying! Just like Pansy!" I seen red.. Though I hadn't dated anyone yet, I just really like the idea of holding hands and constantly hugging. "Good thing we're not together then!" I shouted.. Yes, I was angry.. But even I knew I was lying. I liked Draco.. A lot.

His wide eyes showed remorse but he said nothing about it. Crabbe came in with Goyle, none of them spoke to me and I was extremely happy for that. I silently looked out the window. Wow, this years already on a great start..
