"Are you two going to get along this year?"

"Yeah last year was a bit annoying, especially when Umbridge was always our backs"

"Then, when we got back to the common room, Draco and Evie were arguing again"

"Same old Salamander different day"

"For merlin's sake Blaise stop being such an Hufflepuff" Draco shot up from the soft train seats and stormed out the open doors.

"10 out of 10 guys, well done" I whispered "you should really consider making 'fucking up' your future jobs. They do that at the ministry a lot; you guys could work there" leaning forward in my seat I stared straight at Blaise, Canyon and Modesty. Rolling my eyes, I leant back in my seat again.

Arguably Draco and I did a great deal of bickering. We were also very aware that it annoyed the rest of our group. Blaise, Canyon, Modesty, Draco and I had all been friends since year one. Draco and I argue over the smallest things, a missing quill, not submitting a piece of homework, a late friend. Last year it got a lot worse when Umbridge was here, we were all annoyed at him for joining her little army, she made our life a living hell.

Draco and I where the most Slytherin in the group, despite us all being in the house. Canyon is extremely clever and spends most of her time with a book; she was made for Ravenclaw. Modesty was brave and had lots of friends; in and out of Slytherin. She was meant to be a Gryffindor. Blaise knew every magical creature ever discovered, definitely a Hufflepuff.

I am a pure-blood, 5 generations of wizards and witches. My family has its flaws, flaws that we tend to keep undercover, secrets I suppose. My brother is a squib, he became a huge disgrace to our family, and mum and dad take it in their stride to hide him from the wizarding world. I felt terrible when coming here without him, the doctors said that its very rare that only one twin should have magical powers, they think I have taken the power that he had, I guess that's why I am in Slytherin.

"Is someone going after him?" Blaise asked.

"You're his best friend and you messed up, so you go" Canyon snarled, she looked short of temper today, we all did.

Blaise sat up from beside Canyon, the rhythmic vibrations of the train making him wobble on his feet. He shut the sliding doors behind him, carefully, not wanting to slam them.

"How was your holiday!" Modesty shouted, she was obviously grateful that the boys had left the train cabinet and I began to wonder if she meant for that all to happen, just so the girls could get a second alone.

"Not good, Voldemort has a plan to get in here this year" pushing myself forward again I levelled my face with theirs "we need to be extra careful this year, more than ever"

Canyon moved uncomfortably in the seat, she squirmed under the mere thought of Voldemort getting into the school. The thought of him killing someone within the school. The mere thought of him.

We can't worry about it though girls, dad taught me some defensive spells in the holiday, ones we definitely missed last year with Umbridge. He taught me how to protect against minor to moderate jinxes and hexes, and a few spells. Such as expelliarmus. I'll teach you them in the dorms later."

"When will he attack, and how big will it be?" Modesty was shaking slightly, this worried me as she was the bravest of us all.

"Dad isn't sure, Voldemort doesn't want to involve him in this, I think he's onto dad" Dad was one of Voldemort's followers, but this time he is deciding to work for the good, and convey any information he might have on Voldemort's plans, to none other than Dumbledore himself. "I think that its either going to be a full-blown attack, or sneak in unnoticed, get one thing or another, then leave without anyone realising at all."
