All four eighteen-year-olds decided to go redo their year at Hogwarts. Andromeda and Bianca had both decided not to redo sixth, because even with the low learning quality they had gotten okay grades, and were joining the other four who were redoing seventh.

When they got on the train after saying goodbye to their families, they shooed some second years out of a compartment and climbed in.

It was packed, so Bianca pulled a protesting Andromeda onto her lap, freeing up space and causing the other four to crack up. Andromeda glared at them all before accepting it and snuggling up to the taller girl, causing multiple 'aww's, much to her displeasure.

Blaise grinned, and shoved Cassiopeia, who was half on Draco and him because of the lack of space, into Draco's lap. She scowled at him, before repositioning herself with her head on his lap and her legs bent over Blaise, trapping him in place. He scowled at her as the other four cracked up again.

Andromeda repositioned herself do that her back was against the window and rested her feet on Pansy, who in turn put her legs up under Cassiopeia's on Blaise's lap, and rested her book Andromeda's legs. Blaise looked at Bianca.

"Sis, help me!" He pleaded.

"I would, if I didn't have a Malfoy on top of me." She replied smirking at him.

"Hey, you're the one who put me here." Andromeda mumbled going to get off.

Bianca grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back down.

"Yeah, and I did it for a reason. Now stop struggling and sit still." Bianca replied. At that moment, Harry and Ron entered the compartment, stopping short when they saw the six seventh years sprawled all over each other.

Ron scowled at them all in disgust, as Harry stared at the two he didn't recognise. Ron turned to them thinking that they would be the easiest to talk to.

"Have either of you two pretty ladies seen my sister and her girlfriend? My sister looks like a girl version of me and her girlfriend has long wavy white blonde hair and a dreamy attitude." He asked, wincing both times he said 'girlfriend'.

"No, but if I had, I would tell your sister that her brother is a homophobic asshole. I don't know her, but I already feel sorry for her." Bianca said.

Ron glared at her and turned to Andromeda.

"How about you, babe? Have you seen them? Also, what's your name?" He asked.

She looked like she was trying not to be sick, but he didn't notice.

"Okay. 1, no, I haven't left her side once in the past year or so, so we would see all the same thing, 2, didn't you guys mention you have a girlfriend?" She replied.

The other four nodded, Harry joining in where Ron couldn't see.

"3, my name is Cassiopeia Malfoy, and she's Bianca Zabini. 4, Bee and I are dating. So don't try anything with either of us." She leaned over and pecked Bianca on the lips.

Ron looked grossed out.

"Cmon, Harry, let's go." He turned on his heel and left, slamming the compartment door behind him.

Harry, on the other hand, stayed behind.

"Her-Cassiopeia, I just wanted to say I'm sorry, and Ron never deserved you, and I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I was just shocked and still sore about Sirius and that's why I snapped. Sor-" Harry was cut off by Ron reentering the compartment and grabbing hold of his arm.

"Cmon, mate, we gotta go, you don't want to end up with a broken nose without Luna there to fix it, do you?" He said, glaring at Draco.

Andromeda and Bianca both let out a little snort but quickly covered it, while Draco looked up at Harry apologetically.

"I don't mind." Cassiopeia said.

Harry looked at her gratefully, while Ron took it the wrong way.

"I think it's really rude to not mind someone else's nose being broken without someone to fix it. Let's go, Harry."

This time, the two 17 year olds were unable to hide their laughter, and then Cassiopeia joined them, followed by Pansy, then Blaise, then Harry, though a lot quieter, then finally Draco let himself join in. Ron scowled and dragged Harry out, leaving the six still laughing uncontrollably.

Draco was the first to calm down.

"Hey, Bianca, I'm wondering what happened to your dreamy attitude. I mean, removing a glamour doesn't change your personality." He said.

"You mean like how the nargles and the waffletores are fighting over your lunch?" She asked dreamily. Then she returned to her normal voice. "I'm just a great actor. If people think you're crazy, then they're going to bother you a lot less."

Blaise grinned.

"Yup, you're definitely my family member. Now Cassie, can you get off me?" He asked.

"Nope." She replied, yawning. "I think I'll go to sleep now." Blaise groaned.

"Bee! Help me!" He cried.

"A, still got Andy, and I ain't planning on chancing that, and B, I don't care."

"Yup, definitely your sister." Pansy and Draco chorused, Draco stroking Cassiopeia's hair.

Cassiopeia fell asleep for the rest of the journey, as did Andromeda, so Pansy was the one to slip out and grab the other three some food, and they bet on which house the next person to walk by would be for food.

Pansy ended up with most of it, mainly because Bianca wasn't hungry and gave most of hers to the other girl.

The only other significant thing that happened that trip was when Ron discovered a fillibusters firework in his luggage at the end of the trip, which he managed to set of and sen the whole train into a panic.

Andromeda and Cassiopeia woke up fro the noise, and cracked up when they found out what it was.

"I don't know how I ever could think that I was actually related to that!" Andromeda said, laughing.

"And how I thought that he was suitable dating material." Cassiopeia added.

"Sheesh, I thought you had standards, hun." Joked Pansy.

All six cracked up, earning themselves a glare from Ron as he chased past after the firework, at one point with his pants on fire.
