Disclaimer-I own none of this. Chances are the story line isn't unique
either.
Chapter 1- A New Friend
The compartment was silent. The six occupants, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, and Luna Lovegood, all seemed to be in their own little world. The scene was identical to when they left Hogwarts two months ago. The silence was abruptly broken when Draco Malfoy opened the door.
"Oh, it's already full in here," Draco said softly, "I'll find another car."
"Nonsense," Harry and Ginny replied in unison.
"Scoot!" Ginny said to Hermione and Luna as she made room for Draco.
"At least I have you guys," Draco replied mournfully.
Last term Draco lost his parents when his father attempted to sacrifice him to Voldemort. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Neville, and Luna were there rescuing Hermione and Viktor Krum. They found Draco and brought him back with them. Viktor had been kidnapped in order to lure Hermione to Voldemort. Despite everyone returning to safety, not all was good. In the explosion Harry used to vanquish Voldemort, Viktor and Ginny were injured. Viktor's were so severe that he can no longer play Quidditch professionally. Ginny was bedridden for a month. The event so altered their friendships that the only regular correspondence that summer was between Harry and Draco.
Changing the subject quickly, Ginny blurted, "Do you think they will hold the Tri-Wizard Tournament this year?"
"I don't see why not," Luna exclaimed, "it has been three years."
"I doubt it," Harry retorted angrily, "even with all the protections Dumbledore put in place Cedric still lost his life." Cedric's death still wore heavily on his heart, even more than Sirius'.
"But that had nothing to do with the tournament," Neville chimed in. "And Voldemort isn't ..." Neville trailed off as he saw the array of angry looks come across everyone. Obviously the Dark Lord was a touchy subject for everyone.
And like before Draco entered the compartment, silence filled the air. It remained that way for the duration of the trip to Hogwarts.
