--------------------------------------------------------------

CHAPTER 1

"Hermione, over here!" yelled Harry Potter, the famous boy who lived. He was standing next to his good friend Ron Weasley, waving his arms trying to get Hermione Granger, his other good friend's attention.

Hermione heard her name and saw Harry swinging his arms getting her attention. Smiling to herself, she pulled her trolley along and walked over to him and Ron.

"Hey guys, how was you summer?" She hadn't been able to visit them on account of her parents taking her on a trip to America to visit her aunt, uncle, and cousins.

"Oh Hermione it was great. Everyday we played quidditch and Fred and George showed us some of their new products," said Ron Weasley, his blue eyes twinkling and his red hair waving around as he talked excitedly. Ron had grown to be about 6'2, well muscled, and more of a well filled out body than lanky. His red hair was shoulder length and framed his face. In his 6th year, once he realised he was considered highly attractive by other girls, slowly got over his crush on Hermione (which had lessened over 5th year) and was now happily a babe magnet, getting attention from majority of Hogwarts females.

"How was your summer Hermione? When you wrote us you said you went to America, was it fun? The Dursley's went one year and they said they had a great time," asked Harry. He had spent the whole summer with Ron since the Dursley's were to busy to pay much attention and had decided to treat Dudley to a cruise. Besides, they didn't want Harry around and if they could get rid of him, it was fine by them. Harry had also grown to become one of Hogwarts hottest guys, number 2 on the list. His green eyes were loved by all the girls, and his hair, still messy and untamed as ever, was also considered one of his great assets. Like Ron he was tall, filling out at 6'1, but was a little bit more lanky, but still muscular.

"Oh, it was great. I saw my cousins and shopped and I got a bunch of new clothes," replied Hermione. She had spent a good length of her summer in California with her two cousins, Erin and Taylor shopping and cruising the beaches. Because of that she had a nice golden tan, but her hair was still a brown color, but she had learned to tame it. It now fell in ringlets to mid back. She had grown to 5'7", which was better than she thought she would be, and had curves in all the right places.

After chatting more about there summer vacations, the trio got on the Hogwarts Express and found there normal cabin and started talking about the upcoming year. This was there 7th and final year at Hogwarts. With the threat of Voldemort gone, he had been defeated in the Christmas Break over 6th year. It was a surprise attack to kill Harry and Dumbledore without all the students being there. However, Harry fulfilled the prophesy and defeated Voldemort. However, people were lost on both sides. Anyways, after their 6th year, the trio planned to have a great 7th year without the worry of Voldemort of Death Eatters, even though they were still about. The Death Eatters were now in hiding or locked away in Azkaban.

After about an hour of discussion, Neville, Luna, Ginny, Seamus, Dean, and other friends of the Trio joined the group and they all discussed their summers more, as well as school, and just gossiped in general.

--------------------------------------------

Draco Malfoy purposely walked down the sidewalk and boarded the Hogwarts Express. He was still as cold as he was before, but he had matured, not too much, but enough to where it mad differences in some things, like his arguements with Harry and Ron were less. He still had his cold, emotionless, silver-blue eyes, and his blonde hair had grown just past his ear. It could still be gelled back, but he had developed the habit of running his hands through his hair, when he was bored, which was often, so he just let it hang down, plus sometimes it would fall in front of his eyes and since he had seen girls swoon at him when it did, he decided to leave it like that. He liked having all the girls' attention.

"Draco!" screeched Pansy parkinson, her pug face even uglier than the last year, as she ran to him. Okay, maybe he didn't care for all the girls' attention, as long as it wasn't Pansy or Milicent, he was fine.

Draco quickened his pace hopping to lose Pansy, but he had no such luck.

"Drrrraaaaacccccccooooooo, why didn't you wait for me? Couldn't you hear me?" asked Pansy in her annoying tone, which she thought was cute, but he found highly annoying.

'How could not have heard you screeching like a banshee. And I wasn't waiting for you because you are an annoying cow' thought Draco, but instead said, "Of course I heard you Pansy, I was just trying to find Crabbe and Goyle," answered Draco.

"Oh, well that's forgivable. Let's go find them," and with that Pansy walked off expecting Draco to follow her.

'Well, this is going to be a fun year,' thought Draco. 'Just like all the rests.' Ever since third year Pansy had constantly thrown herself at Draco and he had refused them all, except for the Yule Ball, but that was because he was threatened by his mother to take her, so he did. He actually liked his mother, loved no, liked yes. She was better than his father in his eyes. His father still expected him to bet the stupid mudblood in studies (which he by now reluctently admitted to himself wasn't going to happen unless it was potions or divination, which she wasn't taking. Even without Snape's favortism, Draco had a knack for potions and could do them without a problem, and he was born from a seer, his mother, and had a knack for divination.). He was also expected to beat Potter at Quidditch and catching the snitch, which he had done once and that was because Potter had been sick and not back to full heath. It was the first match after Voldemort's defeat and Harry wasn;t all the way up to par, plus it was raining and Harry's glasses weren't in the best of condition. After Voldemort's defeat, though, Lucius had been taken to Azkaban and Draco hadn't heard of him since. His mother had been hit with a Cruitius Curse by a fellow death eatter on accident (Crabbe or Goyle's dad, he couldn't remmeber) and it left her somewhat not all there in the head, so she was now occupying a bed in St. Mungo's, leaving Draco the sole heir to Malfoy manor and all its riches. He also was lucky enough to not have received the dark mark and since he was not involved in the "war" in anyways except by being a Malfoy, he was able to walk free, but was okay by the fellow Death Eatters, even though he hadn't met any since the "war", because he wasn't old enough to be involved, but they figured if he was old enough he would've join. However, Draco wouldn't have, or he would've to avoid being killed or torture, but would've hated it. He didn't really hate mudbloods and muggles, he just rather ignore them and he wasn't one for killing and maiming and torturing, but he didn't doubt that he could do it if the time called for it. Plus, who would follow some guy who is incapable of killing a baby, and then failing every other time he tries? Draco just though the Dark Lord was pathetic, maybe when Voldemort was younger and not constantly trying to stay alive did he have much of chance, but before he died, Draco would've bet his entire fortune on Potter winning.

"Hey Malfoy. What are you doing?" asked Crabbe. Crabbe was still big and a bully, but he did have some brains to him. After the war he had shaped up and started showing his "intelligence" even if it wasn't much. Same with Goyle, although to both of them, protecting Draco was first on their lists.

Hearing Crabbe talk, caused Draco to come back to moment. "Not much, just thinking about this year," answered Draco.

"Really," asked Goyle. "So what are we gonna do, should we go make fun of Potter?"

"Nah, I'm tired, I think I will lay down. Did you guys happen to see Pansy?" asked Draco.

"Yeah," said Goyle. "She saw Milicent wearing the same shoes and they were dueling and ending knocking each other unconscious. Do you want me to go get her, although I don't thinks he would be much company with her being out of it and all."

"No, please don't. For the rest of the year, try and keep her away from me, I can't stand her. Now I am going to take a nap, do what you want, the food cart should be starting its rounds," said Draco, while walking into his compartment.

Crabbe and Goyle then left him and went on a hunt for the food cart.

---------------------------------

In the compartment, Draco saw a friend of his, Blaise Zambini. He had blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. Blaise and Draco didn't start hanging out and becoming close, well as close a Slytherins get, till 5th year. Blaise and Draco had respect for each other and didn't mess with each other. Besides Zambini had a brain, so it was someone Draco felt he could have a decent conversation with.

"Malfoy," greeted Blaise.

"Zambini," answered back Malfoy. "You plan on staying here the whole trip?"

"Yup. Got myself a book and then will probably sleep. You don't mind do you?" he asked, but wasn't to worried about the answer. As long as he left Draco alone and didn't bug him he knew he could stay.

"No, I am just gonna sleep alittle. Wake me up about 20 minutes before we reach school," and with that Draco turned on his side and went to sleep.

END OF CHAPTER

So what did you guys think, was it good? Please let me know what you think. I know it was kinda boring being, like, the first chapter, but I wanted to give a little background, and I plan to have a new chapter up tomorrow.

Sorry if you wanted me to go into the whole war and defeat of Voldemort, but I really didn't want to, but if you want me to I will add it in later chapters and all. Okay, well that should be it, let me know what you think. :)
