Harry:

Hermione started running the moment she saw Harry on platform 9 3/4. She was so exited about going back to school after the war. Another year at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron were less exited. They only went back because Hermione had prepared a 40 minutes speech about how they would never find a job or be successful if they didn't finish school. So they gave in.

Hermione hugged Harry and looked very pleased about getting him to do this. Suddenly they saw Ron walking in their direction with a frown on his face. „I just ran into Malfoy!" he looked as though he was going to vomit. His friends looked at him confused and curious at the same time, waiting for more information. But Ron looked just as confused.

„Why is he back? He went to school last year. Didn't he?" , Harry asked.

Hermione, as always, answered as though it was the most obvious thing in the world: „He was torn into all that dealing with „you know who" so he probably didn't focus on schoolwork much. And you know his parents! He can't end up as a failure. His parents would pretty much kill him if he wasn't successful".

„You're probably right", Ron said eye rolling , „But it's still going to suck having him around for another year."

„It might not be that bad. I mean when things came to their worst and he had to make a choice, he saved my life.", Harry replied.

„Yeah, if that's not gonna make it worse...", Ron added concerned.

„How on earth would that make it worse?", Hermione questioned confused.

„Well I don't know!", Ron snapped angrily at her, „But he's Malfoy for Merlin's sake. We don't know what the bloody hell is going on in that stupid brain of his!"

The train made a whistling noise and they all jumped. They had completely lost track of time and hurried to the nearest entrance with their luggage. All their stuff was safe in the train with Ron and Hermione when the train suddenly started moving. Ron tried to grab Harry's hand to pull him inside, but the train was already moving to fast.

Draco:

Draco got on the train just last minute - it had already started to move - and was about to close the door when he heard someone scream. The blond stuck his head out of the door to see what's going on. Harry fucking Potter was running along the train, trying to grab Weaslebee's hand but the train was going to fast and the tunnel was almost there. Granger pulled the Weaslebee inside.

Harry looked panicked. Without thinking Draco stuck out his hand and shouted: „Potter!". He reacted in the last moment and Draco pulled him inside just before the tunnel. He was breathing heavily and Draco felt a huge desire to smash him against a wall and snog the hell out of him.

„You okay, Potter?", He managed to ask instead.

„Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks a lot by the way.", he stated.

Draco didn't really know how to respond so he just awkwardly nodded at him.

Suddenly Granger and Weaslebee pushed the door open.

„Oh god! I'm so worried! How is he supposed to get to Hogwarts without his wand!", Hermione whined and then smacked the back of Weaslebee's head.

Draco couldn't suppress a laugh and Harry chuckled.

The two members of the golden trio just stared at them until Hermione dashed forward to hug Harry.

„Oh thank Merlin I was so worried about you!"

Harry grinned at her and apologized while scratching the back of his neck.

Ron hurried them to get a move on and search for a free compartment before the witch with the food-trolley would miss them. After an eye-roll and a scowl from Hermione, Ron just left, the other two running after him.

Just before fully leaving Dracos sight, Harry turned around again.

„Er.., thanks again. I'll...er...see you around I guess", he forced his face into something like a smile.

Draco tried to give him a smile back but it looked a lot more like a kind of pathetic, weird smirk.
