Note: Of Course I don't own any of the characters used from the Harry Potter Universe - JK Rowling does. All I own are my OCs!
Also forgive me, if my writing isn't stellar - but this is my first attempt, and I hope you guys like it! :)

'Miss Serena, please, please wake up now! Oh dear, oh dear, you'll be late for the train! It's the first day back to Hogwarts Miss! And you musn't be late!' whimpered Missy the house elf as she continued to knock furiously on the door.
'Missy please, 5 more minutes' yawned Serena half asleep. 'It's only half past six, I'll be down for breakfast in 20 minutes tops! I promise' she mumbled into her pillow, attempting to drown out the sound.
'But Miss it's already seven, and you promised your father you would'nt be tardy again.' Squeaked Missy urgently as she tried shaking the sleeping form from under the mountains of pillows and covers.
' What?'!? It's seven? Oh shoot, why didn't you wake me up earlier Missy?' said Serena as she tore off her covers and ran to her wardrobe. Looking around, she grabbed a simple strapless white sundress and shot a beauty spell that transformed her bundle of messy behead into silky black waves.
'Missy is sorry Miss, Missy will go punish herself now!' replied Missy with giant tears in her eyes.
'No- no, forget what I said. I didn't mean it Missy, you're doing a wonderful job! I'm just running a little late as usual. Is my trunk and my driver ready?' said Serena, shuffling off her silk nighties while pulling on her sundress.
'Yes, Miss!' beamed Missy proudly
'Alright, well I'll be down in a few, heat up a bagel for me will you? Said Serena as she finished straightening out her dress and rushed around her room trying to find her single missing heel.
'Already done, Miss' said Missy as she tugged on the back of Serena's sundress, 'Here it is Miss'. Said Missy as she pointed out the heel hidden beneath her various bags.
'Oh! Perfect. You're a doll Missy, what would I do without you? Smiled Serena as she hugged the house elf. 'Oophm' let out the house elf, as the girl finally let her go with a twinkling laugh.
'Hurry first Miss, I'll see you on break! squeaked Missy as she began to usher the girl out of her bedroom.
'Alright, see you then! Say goodbye to father for me!' yelled Serena as she half ran down the mahogany staircase limping as she attempted to put on her heel while doing so.
'Yes, Miss!' replied the house elf as she passed the breakfast to the girl at the front of the mansion steps.
'Bye Missy! I'll miss you!' yelled Serena, waving furiously as she got into the car.
The house elf smiled as she watched the black chauffeured car drive off and disappear with a pop.
Looking out at the Hogwarts train platform, Serena couldn't help but pause. She felt her heart clenched and she realized for the first time in while she was nervous. She would be seeing everyone again, her classmates, her teachers, him. What would she do when she saw him again? How would she handle that?
Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself in advance. Muttering a quick spell, her trunks levitated behind her, and she began walking towards the train in the calmest demeanour she could put on, to hide the fact that her heart was thumping a hundred meters a second. In a flash, she had made it to an empty compartment and she finally let out a breath of air she didn't know she was holding in. She made it to the compartment unnoticed right? Perhaps she could make it to Hogwarts unnoticed too.
Glancing at her nails, Pansy was not listening to her mother at all. She wasn't interested in playing along with her fake pretense of motherly love any longer. She had grown sick and tired of this charade a long time ago, and couldn't hide her contempt for her mother any longer. The sooner she was done with her mother, the sooner she could get on the train and find her Draco.
'That's right my Draco.' She smiled at the thought. Finally a year after that awful Serena slut left, Draco had finally gotten over that slut and given himself to her. 'It's my year now, and no one can take that away from me.' Her smile widened at the thought, and she looked around to see if she could catch a glimpse of her man and her friends. When suddenly a face caught her eye, she double took just to be sure – and her eyes widened in the process. 'No it can't be. What the hell is that skank doing back in Hogwarts?!' A fire grew in her eyes. Hogwarts would have to bear the fury that was Pansy Parkinson.
'Stop it! Bloody hell George, It's not funny! MMOOOOMMMM!' yelled a disgruntled Ron as he waved his arms around, making unsuccessful grabs at his trunk.
'RONALD WEALSEY WE DO NOT USE THAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE IN THIS FAMILY!' shrieked a furious Mrs. Weasley at her son. 'Behave yourself this instance, or I will drag you both back home right this instance, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?'
'Yes Mum' replied both boys as they silently glared at each other.
'Now Harry, You be good this term. You hear? And you're more than welcome to come over for Christmas break!' said Mrs. Weasley as she hugged the boy goodbye.
'And Hermione, keep an eye on the boys for me if you can, won't you dear? You come over as well' smiled Mrs. Weasley as she hugged her goodbye too.
'Behave yourself this term, or you can bet your arse that I will be sending howlers to each and every one of you, understand?' she threatened as she stared pointedly at each one of her children. 'Yes mum' they chimed in unison 'Alright I love you too' smiled Mrs. Weasley as she wiped a tear and hugged her children goodbye.
'Aw mum, we'll send you mail and see you real soon!' mumbled Fred as he got smothered in his mother's hug.
'Goodbye!''Goodbye Mrs. Weasley''Goodbye Mum' yelled the Golden trio as they made their way to the train to avoid the extra hugs Mrs. Weasley was handing out to the twins.
'Glad we made it away before the kisses on the cheeks came out' said Ron annoyed 'I don't think I could handle that embarrassment again this year. I mean, what a way to start a year!' He shuddered at the thought.
'Ron! That's your mother! Show a little respect!' lectured Hermione, as Harry chuckled.
'Sorry Mum' mumbled Ron out of habit. And just as Hermione opened her mouth to tell him off again, he whispered 'Bloody Hell.'
'Ron, what did your mother just say about cursing?'
'No, look!' said Ron with a look of shock as he tapped on Harry's shoulder and pointed. Harry whipped his head and stared at the girl who held his heart since the day he met her. 'She's back' he whispered.
'Yes mother' he grumbled as he half listened to whatever his mother was going on about. It was the same speech every year, same notion of having to listen to father and uphold the Malfoy name. Bored, he let his gaze drift around and that's when he recognized a familiar face.
'But there's no way, she left me – I mean Hogwarts in year 4. How could she return without even so much as a single owl? She's actually back?' His cold piercing eyes trailed her pinkish-red lips to her long lashes framing her sapphire eyes.
'She's nervous. She should be.' He thought, as his signature smirk broke out.
Who's going to find her first? We'll see! ~ xoxo VL
