As seemed to be a pattern Harry ran into Draco first at the station however today Luna was standing beside him.
"Oh Harry thank you for the book. There were some wicklulss on it but I cleaned them off."
"That's good." Harry had sent her a book that she could note all her creatures in it. "Hey Draco."
"Did you have a good holiday?"
"It was great, My godfather brought me a Firebolt."
"Wait that's who it's from?"
"You got one too?" Harry asked surprised.
"Yeah no note." Draco looked to the train where the broom must have been. It was great that he got a firebolt. Especially after his father had taken his nimbus.
"Well he is still wanted by the ministry."
"Good point." Draco admitted. "So what have you done with your nimbus?"
"I've left it at home." Harry began.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Everyone turned to Hermione; all the colour drained from Harry's face.
"I'm going to look for Ron."
"Coward." Harry shot at him as the blond hurried off.
"Hi Hermione."
"Harry."
"Look I-"
"NO MORE PRESENTS." The girl demanded.
"Hermi-"
"EVER. You hear me Harry. EVER."
"I don't see what your problem is."
"Harry I love it; god I do but…"
Harry smiled trying to defuse the situation. "Hermione I swear to you; on my own life if that's what you want. I swear I didn't spend a Knut on it."
"Harry?"
"It was my mothers. You're like a sister to me Hermione. My mother would have been happy to let you to have it."
"Harry the power in it."
"It's one of the pendants of the heavens. All it does is show you the sky."
"You promise that's all it does." Hermione brought out the tear shaped necklace from under her robes.
"I promise. I just thought you would like it. Its technically useless. It's just a magical trinket I swear Hermione."
"It just feels really expensive."
"It might have been; I don't know." Harry shrugged. "It's been sitting in Dads vault for who knows how long. I won't wear it."
"Harry?" A whisper came from behind him.
"I'm fine now Draco." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"You're one scary female Hermione."
"You made that sound like a complement."
"It was."
"Hermione I heard that all the way by the Barrier." Ron told her. "I thought I was going to come over to see Harry a gibbering mess."
"He gave me an enchanted necklace."
"All I got was a chest." Ron laughed.
"Really you laugh?"
"Please it's not like we can stop him."
"Come on let's get on the train." Luna smiled. She had been calmly watching the whole time.
"Oh hi Luna."
"Hello Hermione, Beautiful necklace. Blue is your colour."
"Thank you Luna."
"Your Carriage will be gone if you don't get on the train in the next three and a Half- Minuets."
"Thanks." They headed for the train.
"Ronald?" Luna asked sweetly. "Have you seen your sister?"
"She was looking for your other friend."
"Thank you." Luna began to skip away.
"She's a strange one."
"But wonderful." Harry agreed.
Hermione say beside Ron and Draco beside Harry. It was a comfortable train ride but tones of people came in to talk to them. So they didn't get a lot of time to talk about their animagus progression.
"Hey guys, I'll be right back." Harry skipped out of the room; he needed to pee.
Lee Jorden spoke from inside Fred's head lock. "Hi Harry."
"Hi Jordan."
"Harry what are you doing out?" Fred asked.
"I've got to pee." Best to be direct when dealing with Fred and/or George. He rushed past them and escaped into the small toilet.
When he walked out Fred, George and Jorden were gone. Harry was still drying his hands on his jeans as he headed back to his compartment.
"Get back here you snake." Harry heard the voice. It was familiar a seventh year Gryffindor Thanh Dam. He was a half blood and his mother was Asian- Harry didn't know what area. Or much else about the boy at all really.
"Guys look at this." Benjamin Sheppard another Gryffindor. "Levicorpus."
Harry saw the small Slytherin boy being dangled upside down. He screamed looking like he was going to be sick. He couldn't have been more than a second year but didn't really look old enough to be at Hogwarts at all.
Harry push passed Adriel Damrosch; He was a Ravenclaw and was friends with the two. "Hey what is going on here!"
"Oh Evens… its nothing."
"Put him down this instant."
"Come on its just a game." Thanh was not the smartest person in school.
"Help." The boy choked.
Harry looked between the three boys on the ground who were doing nothing. "Liberacorpus." Harry looked down at the kid. "Are you okay?"
"I feel sick."
"Sit down and take a deep breath." Harry then turned to the sixth years. "Now why on earth was that necessary?"
"It was just a bit of fun right kid."
"Do you really think I'm that stupid?" Harry glowered at them. "How about I do that to you and see how you like it?"
"Come on Evens."
"Why?"
"He's a Slytherin." Benjamin spoke this time; once again not the sharpest tool in the shed.
"That's your excuse! You're despicable."
"Why do you care?"
"Apologies to him right now; or I will make sure you live to regret it."
"Look Evens just because everyone else bows at your feet doesn't make you anything actually important."
Harry tilted his arm just right to bring his wand out of its holster. "Disputatio retrorsum."
"Now hey… what's your name?" Harry had turned to the young Slytherin boy.
"Zachary." He told him; the boy was crying. "Everyone calls me Zack."
"Well Zack I'm Harry." Harry nodded to the boys. "I've hexed them; they won't be back to normal until they apologies to you."
"Oh."
Harry nodded. "Don't worry, if you need anything just come to me."
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because you need it." He blinked at him. "Did they ambush you?"
Zack nodded. "Cause I'm a Slytherin."
"Okay- do you have friends around here."
"Umm yeah. Toby- he's a Hufflepuff."
"I'll walk you back to his carriage."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it." Harry put his hands on the boys shoulder. They walked away leaving the three boys gibbering. Not a single coherent word came out of their mouths.
If they didn't apologies it never would.
