Harry's P.O.V
     I was practically buzzing with excitement as Ron, Hermoine and I all got onto the Hogwarts express for our final year of school. I was excited to see all my friends again but I was also terrified of who I wouldn't see. The war had taken the lives of many brave people who didn't deserve to die, and I couldn't help but blame myself. The thought of people dying because of me, haunted me like a demon, it was a terrible thing.
     Just as we all sat down in an empty compartment we heard a knock on the door. Hermoine got up from Ron's loving grasp to find at least twenty students waiting outside our train compartment with eager eyes. There was a moment of silence before those gathered outside burst into excited screams and yells. Before I could comprehend why so many students were outside our compartment, I was being asked a million questions at once.
     "How did you kill the Dark Lord?"
     "Do you have a girlfriend?"
      "WHAT SHAMPOO DO YOU USE!?!?"
     I was less than happy about what was happening, I don't like being famous and honestly I believe that those who died fighting should get more admiration than me. Before I was able to react to the questions and calm the mob of fangirls, Hermoine was able to get things settled in a more efficient manner.
     "LISTEN UP!! I know that you are all very excited to see Harry, however we must do this in an orderly fashion. Please get in a single line! Okay, each of you will get two minutes to meet with Harry. We have to keep it short to allow everyone to see him!!" As Hermoine finished with instructions, people began to form a line and come into the compartment. For the next two hours, I answered question after question and signed countless pictures. It was horrible!!! I hated all the attention I was getting, but to turn down all those people seemed extremely rude, so I just sat there with a forced smile as the constant flow of people slowed and finally stopped.
     Ron and I heaved a sigh of relief as all the commotion stopped, as Hermoine closed our doors for what was likely the first time that day. Ron and Hermoine had also had fans stop by, so they were just as exhausted as I was. Not two seconds after Hermoine had sat down, there came a knock at the door.
     "ITS UNLOCKED!!" Hermoine shouted rather irritability. I heaved a sigh and forced myself to sit up and greet yet ANOTHER fan, however I didn't have to. Because at the door stood, not another student but, a hooded figure dressed in black.

Draco's P.O.V
     I couldn't believe the school year had come to start so soon. I was extremely worried about attending with the current physical state I was in, so I attempted to disguise my disgusting firm. I gathered two of my father's inky black robes and a set of my mother's favorite midnight black gloves, they were silk and had lace around the cuffs, which I didn't mind in the least. The gloves were also one of the only things I had left of her and they fit my slender hands perfectly. Using these materials I was able to cover myself, the cloaks were far too big, even though I was extremely tall I was still sickeningly thin.  They covered up my thin frame well, leaving only my scarred hands showing, so I used gloves to cover my hands.
     I apperated to the station in my strange attire and quickly boarded the train. I found an empty compartment, which wasn't hard seeing as everyone wished to go see the Griffindor Golden Boy. However, when the commotion died down people began to return to their compartments, which meant that people were beginning to notice me. This is the last thing I wanted to happen, I couldn't stand the thought of anyone seeing me in such a hideous situation, malnourished, dirty and scarred.
Therefore, once people started to notice me, I quickly took off in look for an escape. If I said anything then my voice would be recognized, so I had to be fast so that I would not be questioned. I found a seemingly empty compartment and rasped on the door. I couldn't hear a response over my heartbeat, which was pulsing in me ears. So I opened the door, to find the Golden Trio staring at me in shock. Shit.
