Girl power

Chapter 4

Hermione was getting on the train with Ginny and Neville when Ron and Harry dragged them into a compartment. Hermione, Neville, Hannah, and Luna had a temporary glamour charm on them. Ron looked mad. Harry looked at Ron and said, "They are here now, so what is wrong? Why are you so mad?"

Ron sighed and looked at Ginny for help. She threw her hands up and yelled, "No, I will not explain for you. He is your friend, not mine." Then she got up and stormed out muttering under her breath, "I wonder if the twins told Lee yet, probably not. I'm going to find Hannah and Luna. Besides, Hermione and Neville already know this information."

"Oh, spit it out, Ronald. It can't be that bad." Hermione says after 5 minutes of everyone just staring at Ron waiting for him to explain.

"Okay, so I got a letter from Mum last night saying that Dad had broken off the marriage and she has gone back to her maiden name. Percy and I are the only ones from our siblings that will be living at the Burrow and our last names have changed to Prewett." Ron explains rather poorly.

"Why did your Dad break off the marriage?" Harry asked looking confused.

"He and Mum would have fights late at night about money. All my siblings knew this for years." Ron explained

"So, your last name is Prewett now?" Neville asked already knowing the answer.

At that moment Draco decided to pop up for his 'Golden Trio train ride torture' as he liked to call it. He really does it to check up on Hermione and any of their friends that are stuck with Ron and Harry. "Well, is it?" He asked having heard the question.

"What does it matter to you, Malfoy?" Ron asked angrily.

"Just wanted to know if I would have to change my insults," Draco stated calmly leaning on the doorway already knowing the answer.

"Fine, yes my last name is now Prewett. You happy now?" Ron asked having lost his temper once more.

"Very," Draco smirked. "your siblings just showed me their letter and explained the situation to me. They said the Weasley family has tons of money and the reason they were poor was that all your siblings had to live off of was the Prewett fortune." Draco smiled and left having got proof from Ron for the Slytherins to use.

"Neville and I are going to sit with Ginny for the rest of the ride. We are almost halfway there anyway." Hermione stated standing up and leaving.

((((((((((Time Skip))))))))))

The train has just pulled up to 'Platform 9 and 3/4'. The 8 friends got off the train in groups. The 3 Weasleys, Hermione, and Neville were first as they are all Gryffindors. Next was Luna and Hannah talking quietly trying to strengthen their sister bond. Lastly, Draco stepped out, flanked by Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. Blaise and Theo discovered their friendship by accident but, have supported it 100%. Lee Jorden, Seamus Finnigan, and Dean Thomas followed having known of the friendship since day one. Those 5 were known as the 'The Protectors' to the 8. They know everyone in both groups and cover for them if needed. The first group headed towards Mr. Weasley while the other 3 headed towards the Malfoys.  They had got a letter at breakfast telling them the plan. The letter had read:

'Dear United 8,

When the train arrives you need to come out in 3 groups. First, all 5 Griffindors are to come off together. Then, Luna and Hannah will come off talking quietly (they can choose the topic). Lastly, Draco you need to uphold your reputation so have Blaise and Theo get off the train with you. The 5 lions will head towards me and the snake, eagle, and badger will head for Mrs. Malfoy, don't worry she has been told of your friendship. We are then going to meet up at the Riddle Manor. Tom is going to be waiting for us.
