A/N: I randomly came up with this idea while hanging around with my Boyfriend, weird eh? I don't know how long this will be, so xD

I waked down the corridor of the Hogwarts Express, Draco was following behind me, being as quiet as ever, he didn't talk much, which bugged me. I really wanted to get to know him better. It was just after our 4th year in Hogwarts, and because of the Triwizard tournament it was quite eventful.
"You will visit me over the summer, won't you Draco?" I asked looking at him, curiosity in my eyes.
"Maybe." Was his only answer, what was that supposed to mean?
"Oh come on, you're my boyfriend!" I protested.
"And? I may have things to do." Draco sighed, glowering at me.
"Oh fine, be like that!" I said and stormed off down the corridor and disappeared into a empty cabin.
I was soon joined by my friends, Kristina O'Connell, Crystal Dreessen, Athena Merritt and Seraphina Dickinson. Oh and my name is Cassidy Carlisle.
"Hey Cassie!" Athena grinned and sat down beside me, her long black curls falling over her pale face.
"hey Athena." I replied, staring out the window.
"Draco giving you a rough time?" Kristina asked, though it was more of a statement. Her short blonde hair framed her face perfectly.
"Yep! As always." I snorted.
"I don't know why you bother with him…" Crystal rolled her eyes and plopped down opposite me, I turned to her and glared. "I was joking!" She quickly said and looked to the floor.
"Sure you were." I snapped. Just then Draco walked casually in and sat beside me, as if nothing had happened. "Oh typical Malfoy behaviour!" I sighed heavily and folded my arms tight across my chest, turning on my defensive side.
"I'm sorry? What do you expect me to say?" Draco looked at me, he looked really tired for some reason.
"Oh for the love of magic! What is up with you?" I glared at him.
"I just have a lot to do over the summer, you should know that!" Draco glared back. "If you are going to act this way, then I don't know why we are together."
"Are you breaking up with me?" I tilted my head, still glaring.
"Well… No." Draco's eyes widened slightly.
"Good." I sighed.
"Good?" Kristina smiled slyly.
"Oh shut up Krissie!" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Somebody loooves Draco!" Athena wiggled her eyebrows.
"What…? Oh for flip sake!" I growled and buried my head in my hands. Draco smirked and looked at me.
"Well, do you?" He asked.
"I don't know! You keep acting like a royal prat!" I snapped, looking up at him.
"Oh thanks." Draco snorted.
"It's true though." Crystal muttered under her breath.
"Oi, I heard that." Draco shot a glare at her.
The wild fields outside were turning into neatly cut fields quickly. I stared out the window for the rest of the journey, not really bothering to listen to the conversation that Athena and Kristina had started up, Crystal had gone quiet and Seraphina hadn't said anything at all from the moment she entered the cabin, well then again, Seraphina never talked to people much. Or anything really.
"I think I can see the station!" Athena smiled, standing up to get a better look out the window.
"Good… I can finally get out of this stupid train." Seraphina drawled. We all looked at her, then burst out laughing. Seraphina just gave us a look that said 'what was so funny about that?'
"Oh Sera… Why do you always say that? Every year! Honestly." Kristina giggled.
"Oh… Oops." Seraphina rolled her eyes.
We all stood up and pulled our trunks off the shelf and walked out into the corridor in single file. A lot of people had already got off the train, because they had walked out of their cabins way before the train even stopped. I could see my mother and father and my little sister, who would start Hogwarts next September, standing on the platform. Kristina's parents were talking to mine, just like they always did while waiting for me. I clambered off the train and raced over to them, hugging my sister, we were very close.
"Hey Kallisto!" I said, letting her go.
"hey Cassidy!" she grinned up at me, she was only 4ft 7" while I was 5ft 6".
"How have you been, eh?" I asked her, as I waved good bye to my friends. Draco was standing with his parents.
"I've been bored! School was boring too!" Kallisto sighed and folded her arms.
"Well, Hogwarts is going to be way better!" I assured her. I noticed Draco staring at me, and when I looked at him, he walked over, well more like strutted over.
"Mother says I can visit you for a few days sometime this summer. Is that okay?" Draco asked.
"Of course it is! Right Mum?" I looked to her.
"Yes, it's definitely okay." My mother smiled at Draco. Draco nodded at her, and then turned back to me, "Well I'll write a letter to tell you when I'm coming, so 'til then, bye." And with that he gave me a short but meaningful hug before strutting back to his parents.
"Gosh. I'm actually going to miss him…" I admitted to myself before following my family out of the platform and then out of the station itself.
I was quiet for most of the trip back home, there wasn't much to talk about, a part from the Triwizard tournament, and I wasn't really fond of that anyway, so all I said was that it was pretty good, but it didn't really have a good ending. They seemed to accept that I didn't want to talk about it and didn't push me any further into discussing the topic. When we finally got back home, I hopped out of the car, grabbed my trunk out of the boot and skipped into the house. Kallisto followed eagerly, we normally had a welcome home feast when I got back from Hogwarts. Yeah, I guess we are rich. But I'm a Slytherin, it's stereotypical, right?
Seraphina was in Ravenclaw though, and Kristina was in Hufflepuff, but they were both purebloods so Draco didn't really have a problem with me hanging around with them during lunch and after classes. Though even if they weren't purebloods, I'd still hang with them. Both Athena and Crystal were in Slytherin too, so I had some fun at night time too.
I stared around the house, some things were new in the house…. Well they were new to me, because they weren't there last summer. I remembered last summer when Draco didn't bother his butt to come visit, so we ended up sending a whole lot of letters to each other, most of them I still had, tucked away under my bed. I had thrown some off them away, because what was in them wasn't very nice, because I had seemed to of said something to annoy him.
I ran up the stairs and let myself into my room, it was exactly as I left it, a part from the curtains being closed, obviously I had forgotten to close them before I left for Hogwarts, again. I sat down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling, wondering where Draco was now. Probably back in the Malfoy Manor, a place I had yet to visit. I'm not sure if his parents like me, but if they let Draco come visit me for a bit, they mustn't hate me, right?
I pondered this as I listened to the commotion going on downstairs, apparently my dad had knocked a vase over downstairs, and was getting yelled at by my mother. Well, nothing is new there. My dad was very clumsy, and apparently I took after him, cause I seemed to always knock things over at Hogwarts, which earned me quite a few detentions when I was in potions, the worst one was when I knocked someone's cauldron over and the whole thing exploded on the floor, I got a full weeks detention for that. Snape could be so mean sometimes. I got back up and walked over to my mirror and picked up a bobble. I tied my soft golden brown curls into a ponytail, and sighed. 'What am I gonna do this summer?' I wandered in my mind, as I made my way out of the bedroom and back downstairs.
Kallisto was sitting in front of the fire, parchment and quill in hand, she was obviously writing a story, like she always did when she was bored, it was one of the only hobbies of hers that I liked, her writing inspired me to write, and so I had a story going on upstairs, that I had started after my first year at Hogwarts. I normally worked on it after finishing all my homework during the summer.
"How far have you got now?" I asked her.
"Six chapters!" She grinned up at me and then went back to her writing.
"Let me read it when you've finished. I need inspiration." I smiled back and then walked into the kitchen to get something to eat and drink before I headed to bed. I chose milk and a banana and then walked back upstairs with them. We didn't have a house-elf, I didn't see the need for one when we could do the things ourselves. I set the milk and banana on my bedside table and then changed into my Pjs, that my mum had left out for me. Drinking my milk, and eating the banana, I climbed into bed, and turned my light off, sleep enveloped me quickly and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
