Kaeli sat across Dean on the velvety seats in the open train car that the Slytherins usually occupied. The car wasn't even a quarter full yet, but it was still plenty early enough that it wouldn't be. Most of the Slytherins and the occupants of the other houses that were at the platform were milling about outside of the train greeting old friends and helping younger siblings onto the train as well as new students. The Prefects were heading to the front car that got all to themselves. There was a new addition on the train this year. A small end car that was dark. The shades pulled down and it had a reserved sign on the door into it. She looked out the window at the platform where Draco was with his father watching as Erin Black came through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. She was surrounded by the Weasley's as well as that Granger girl that was first in their year, and, of course, Harry Potter. There was no mistaking him even from this distance. The group split and Erin as well Harry headed towards the reserved carriage. She noticed a tall wizard had his arm around her waist though leading her to the train. There were just too many of them around her to try anything, even now. Kaeli had been worried they might try something. They meaning Draco and Lucius, she was worried about something happening to them. It was hard to just sit there while they had a job from the Dark Lord to do.
"Are you sure about this?" Harry murmured to Donovan.
"I'm sure. Pretend nothing's wrong. All right, Tonks?" Donovan said not even looking in Harry's direction. He didn't want to give anything away.
The black haired girl nodded once. "Got it under control, Don, don't worry."
Draco and his father were heading towards them, but looking like their intent was just to get to the train. Erin and the others disappeared into the reserved carriage at the back of the train. There was still plenty of time before the train set off. Draco and his father got onto the train heading for the very back. Donovan went out going passed the two without looking in their direction. They went in and closed and locked the door behind them. At the other end Erin and Harry looked up in surprise, "Two for the price of one, eh, Draco?" Lucius asked his son with a bit of swagger.
"Right," The young man said looking a little afraid, his wand out.
"Come quietly, Erin, the Dark Lord needs a word with you." Lucius felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned in time to see Sirius punch him hard.
"Don't threaten my daughter, Lucy."
There were a few bangs and flashes from dark carriage and then Lucius was thrown out onto the platform by Erin. When people turned to look she just waved, "Sorry, just a little family dispute." She said before going back inside the train. Draco was similarly kicked out of the last car.
Kaeli looked up as he came in sporting a rather large bruise on the side of his face and a bump on the head. "Draco, what's wrong?" Pansy asked from where she had saved a seat for him. She got up. "Here, I can help, make it all better—"
"Leave me alone!" He snarled at her until he backed off and he sat down beside Kaeli who took out a small vial and gave it to him. He drank down the liquid inside and started to feel better. There was still the black eye, but he felt better at least. Dean looked up at him from the paper he was reading, but didn't say anything, not even when Blaise sat down beside him. Even Blaise knew enough to keep his mouth shut.
