His Emerald Eyes

On the train

       It was 10:47 when Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express.  As he was climbing into the train, he peered out into the amazingly large crowd of kids and adults, remembering when he was in his first year, about to board the brilliant train.  He was with Mrs. Weasley and Ron at the time, and he was afraid to go any farther than two feet away from Molly.  Then Ronald Weasley, his soon to be best friend, had dragged him on the train. 

       He had been standing in the way of the sliding door to get into one of the compartments for a moment now without realizing it until a measly second year Slytherin boy barged past him nearly hissing " Out of my way Harry Potter " emphasizing the words Harry Potter.  He snapped out of his flashback when the kid said that and climbed abord the train.
        
          Harry found a empty compartment and sat down on one of the seats, having Ron and Hermione join him shortly.  They walked in holding hands, and greeted him.  " Hey Ron, 'Moine, did you by any chance get a hair cut recently?" He asked as they sat down beside him.  Hermione's hair was up in a small ponytail, with her bangs swept the side.  " Yes, I got it cut short because it was always in my face and I needed something new, and I decided it would be easiest to have it shorter. " She responded happily.  Harry had been visiting graves of the people he loved and who had lost their lives for him, along with trying to get away from reporters who were bombarding him with questions about the war for most of the summer (besides him going back to the Dursley's to pack up his things, which he didn't have much of anything besides basic things, and leaving to try and find somewhere to stay for a while), so he had to catch up on things with his friends.
      
       Soon Nevile, Luna, and Ginny had joined them in their train compartment and everyone was talking, except for Harry, who was staring out the window.  " What's on your mind Harry?  You're over there sulking, you okay? " Ginny asked, worry and kindness spread across her freckled face.  " It's... Nothing.  Just thinking about what I'll eat for dinner. " He told her, faking a laugh.  He had broken up with her just before the war, and it clearly had hurt Ginny, but she was determined not to let it take over her life.

    Harry looked over to the door of their compartment, and saw a wisp of blond hair.  " Bloody hell " He mumbled to himself.  It was Draco Malfoy walking by.  He hadn't thought about the guy in a few months, considering how much he hated him... Or was this hate Harry felt for Malfoy? 

       Nevile broke Harry's gaze by saying " Hey mate.  How was your summer? " " Oh, uh, hello Nevile, my summer was... Ok I guess " Harry answered barely noticing him speaking.  Ginny was sitting next to Luna... A little closer than usual Harry noticed, and they were engaged in a conversation.  " So, who is it you like? " Ginny asked out of curiosity.  " Well, since you asked, it's a certain redhead, and they've got these brilliant brown eyes... " Luna replied blushing lightly.  " Now who do you like, Ginny? "  "It's a blondie, a really light blondie I must add, and they have a bubbly personality, and their eyes are this light gray/blue-ish color that I just adore. " 

       Suddenly Seamus and Dean ran by, causing everyone to look over to see who was making such a ruckus.  By the looks of it, they were heading down to the bathroom.

          Harry just got back to his thoughts when suddenly he remembered he had to change into his Hogwarts uniform.  " I'll be back in a minute to change into my robes, not that any of you care, but I'll be in the bathroom if you need me. " Harry said quickly.

        He had ran into a first year girl who was also heading to the bathroom (literally ran into her).  " Oh, sorry sir- " she turned around and gasped.  " Your Harry Potter aren't you?  The Boy Who Lived, or The Chosen One?  I've read so much about you.  Did you really defeat, uh, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?  And did you- "  " Ok, enough questions, yes, I'm Harry Potter, and yes, I did defeat Voldemort. "  She flinched at the name.  " Oh, you must not be used to using his name directly. " He realized.  " Um, well, if you would so that my friends would know that I actually met you... " She said nervously, her voice trailing off.  " Could you sign my shirt? " " I, uh don't have a pen on me, " Harry said, saying the first excuse to come to mind.  " Your a wizard, you don't need a pen silly, you can magic it on " the girl said eagerly.  ' Oh shit, I didn't think of that, need to get out of this conversation now ' he thought to himself.  " Here, " Harry waved his wand around as if he were casting a spell.  " Now, uh, you'll... Smell like me... For a month " the child gasped again " Really? Will I? Oh thank you, thank you, thank you" she said before running off to her friends.

          Harry had finally got into the bathroom, but what he saw was definitely not supposed to be seen.  Dean had Seamus pressed up against the wall, and they were making out like mad.  Harry walked past them pretending like he didn't notice (though it was hard not to), and went inside one the stalls.  It was silent for a moment, then one of them grumbled " See, I knew we should have hid in one of the stalls " before the door opened and closed, then there was silence again.

     He changed out of his muggle T-shirt and changed into his white polo with the Hogwarts sweater over it.  Then the bathroom door opened again, this time the only thing to be heard was someone murmuring somthing about hating school.  There was a ruffle of clothes, as if they had been thrown down.  Then, the person who had entered the bathroom spoke again.

      " I hate him, I hate him, I hate him.  But at the same time I want to snog him, then slap him, and then- oh my God what am I thinking, I don't know any more, I don't even think I'm living anymore, is this Heaven, or is this Hell? " The guy stopped to take a breath.  Harry knew the voice, yet he couldn't put a finger on it.  " I'm pretty sure this is Hell, so welcome my friend, whoever the hell you are. " He said without thinking. An aerie silence fell over the boys.  " I said that out loud, didn't I? " The guy that clearly had a panic attack said " Potter? ". " Malfoy? "  Harry responded immediately  ' Shit ' both boys thought at the same time.  By now Harry had come out of the stall.  The enemies stared at each other menacingly.

     ' What's Malfoy doing here ' I thought to myself.  ' And why isn't he wearing a shirt? '.  So, there I was, in an empty bathroom, with the person I have disliked since first year.  ' I just hope he doesn't have his wand with him  ' I thought not liking the idea of repeating the ' bathroom incident ' from sixth year, when I almost killed Malfoy using the sectum sempra spell.  " Is... Is it okay if I leave? " I asked.  Malfoy's face softened for a second.  " Please do Potter. " He said stepping away from the bathroom door towards the sink.  ' That's... Odd.  Usually he would want to fight me '. I took advantage of it and speed walked to the door.  Surprisingly, Malfoy had no interest to hex me today.  The rest of the train ride to Hogwarts went smoothly, without any disturbances.

       ' Why of all people does he have to be here '  I questioned myself.  Can't I just have a panic attack in an empty bathroom, without him being involved in this.  " Is... Is it okay if I leave? " Potter asked. ' Why did he want to leave, was he going to bring back his friends and fight me? ' hopefully he doesn't, I just want a peaceful last year of school.  " Please do Potter " I told him stepping out of his way.  He walked to the door and left.  I sighed heavily.  " Please, let this be a good year without any fighting or bickering, or anything of that sort. " also
' Note to self, stop talking to myself out loud '.

          

       Ok, this is the first update on this story and it is probably really bad.  I only have one request, please do not post hateful comments on this, though I will accept comments about if somthing is confusing, or isn't right.  Also, if my grammer is bad please do tell me because I don't usually speak with much detail so it's a bit hard to type like this.  Thank you for reading this, it really does mean lot to me.  One more thing, I will update every Friday, or when else I just feel like updating. :)

Actually... I will probably only update when I remember to... So don't expect that much from me.
