hard to love

"Dont have to tell me twice"

"Well go on then." Mrs. Weasley said to Fred & George.

Fred & George ran through the stone wall, with their trunks and owls and into platform 9 3/4.

Ginny went after them, hesitant at first to go through.

Mrs. Weasley hugged Ron. "Have a great time at Hogwarts." She pulled me & Harry into a tight hug and she walked away.

"Well you guys ready?" I turned to Ron & Harry.

They both nodded.

We all ran towards the stone wall, trunks in front of us. I ran through first, and landed in platform 9 3/4.

"That was fun." I turned around to see Ron & Harry. Where did they go?

I checked my watch. 7:30.

They missed the portal.

I looked around me, young witches and wizards were surrounding me, and some parents, too.

I heard the Hogwarts express whistle. The train was here. I grabbed my stuff and raced towards the Hogwarts express, almost running into a couple Wizards.

I walked up the steps of the train and went searching for a compartment.

I walked by a couple of Hufflepuffs, then I saw Hermione sitting in a compartment by herself.

I slid the door open & plopped my stuff down.

"Hey Y/n, where's Harry & Ron?" Hermione shuffled in her seat.

"They missed it." I said.

"The train?!" Hermione looked out the window.

"No, they couldn't get through the barrier." I informed.

"Oh my goodness, how are they going to get to Hogwarts? The ride there is already long enough on the train."

"I haven't seen Potter or Weasley yet, I hope they missed the train." I heard a sneering laughter, and knew exactly who it was.

Footsteps were coming towards me & Hermione's compartment, until I saw him, Draco Malfoy. He stopped to see me looking at him.

He had definitely grown another foot, he still had the same cold grey eyes and pale face, and of course his hair was gelled back. Next to Malfoy was his same friends, Crabbe & Goyle, who were always at his side.

"Where's your boyfriend, Diamond?" Draco mocked. "Did He miss the train?

"Ignore him." Hermione whispered into my ear.

Draco shot a look at Hermione. "What makes you think you can talk to a pure blood like Y/n, mudblood."

"She can talk to whoever she wants to." I stood up and got near Draco. "Now, get the hell away from us before I tell everyone you fancy Pansy Parkinson."

Draco glanced at Crabbe & Goyle and shuffled away from our compartment.

"Nice one Y/n, you should threaten him like that more often." Hermione said.

"Don't have to tell me twice." I smirked.

The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was pretty boring, Hermione wasn't very talkative because she had her nose in a Herbology book. So I just took a nap. I had a pretty weird dream too, I was on the train when I looked out the window and saw Ron & Harry, in a flying car, funny right?

Once we all got off the train, I saw Hagrid.

"Hello Hagrid!" I waved. Hermione stood next to me.
