Hello again!!! Enjoy!!!

\\\\\\\\$$$$$$$$////////\\\\\\\\$$$$$$$$////////

On September first, I stand in King's Cross Station in London, watching families cross the platform. I'm nervous, and my fingers keep tapping my legs. I shove my hands in my pockets. I wonder if my fellow students will shun me, because I was a Death Eater?

I gather up the nerve and discreetly head toward the barrier, tugging my trunk along behind me.
I wait a minute after a group enters, then cross the barrier myself.

I see people bustling about, goodbyes and hellos being given. There is only one person I would care to exchange those with, and Blaise is not visible in my line of sight.

I head into the train, and change into my robes before sending my away to the baggage compartment. I search for my friends, but I cannot find them. Then I look instead for an empty compartment to think in.

The return letter had said I was chosen to be Head Boy this year. Why me? I was a Death Eater during the war. Why would they make me a Head Boy?

I'm so consumed by my thoughts that I don't notice the compartment I sit in is already in use until I hear a throat clear and a girl's voice.

"Hello? Draco? Are you alright?"

The voice is soft, feminine. I look up to see Luna Lovegood staring at me with concern. I nod, looking away.

"Y-Yes. I'm fine. Sorry. I was just thinking."

"Are you sure? I said your name four times. You looked...Lost...There for a minute." Luna sits back. She shakes her head. Her hair sways with the action, the blond strands catching sunlight from the window, all shining. "Another year, huh? It's going to be a good one, too, because my letter told me I'll be Head Girl this year."

I nearly choke. "What?"

"I said- Oh, hi! Come in!" Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Ginny walk in and eye me sitting on the bench. I stand.

"It was nice talking to you, Lovegood," I say, nodding to Luna.

"And to you, Malfoy," she says.

I leave the compartment and the door slams shut behind me.

I don't think the Golden Trio like me any more than they have in years.
