He Will Be Loved - Farewell
"Well, I can certainly see why we're trying to keep them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn, sting, and bite all at once?" – Draco Malfoy
Ginny Weasley was very frustrated. There she was, standing at the train station, and when there was only three minutes to get onto the train, her mother was still gushing over her.
"Mum," Ginny interupted her mother while she was talking about washing underwear every week,"I've really got to go. Amber's probably waiting for me on the train, and the train's going to leave soon."
With a last goodbye to her mother and a kiss on the cheek, she quickly boarded the train and made her way down the aisle, looking for her two bestfriends.
Finally she got to the last compartment on the train. She decided this must be where Amber was because she wasn't in any of the other compartments. She quickly opened the door, obviously excited to see her after three months.
Inside she was surprised to see Amber, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, her brother Ron, and Luna Lovegood, all together. She rolled her eyes to see Harry and Ron already into a game of wizard's chess, not a care to the world around them. Hermione Granger was reading a book, her legs crossed beneath her. Luna was reading The Quibbler obviously intrigued in the newest edition, featuring a story on the discovery of the Hornpuckles. Amber was sitting seperately, her head rested on the window, staring outside.
Ginny sighed in content, and sat down next to Amber, just as she felt the train move below her.

Draco Malfoy stood as stiff as a statue waiting for his father's approval before he boarded the train.
"Yes, I suppose you are ready to go. But I won't be so nice boy, if you don't beat that mudblood Granger in studies." Lucius Malfoy snapped.
"Ofcourse father." Draco repeated for about the millionth time, not because he agreed, but because it was the right thing to say to his father.
"Very Well." Lucius approved, and with a curt nod to his son, he turned around and swept out of the station.
Draco looked at his mother, who stood there with tears in her soft eyes.
"Mother, don't cry, I'll be back before you know it." Draco said softly, taking Narcissca's hand and squeezing it.
His mother nodded, unable to say anything because of the soft sobs escaping her lips. She choked up, "Draco..."
Draco leaned over quite a lot, considering he was 6'2'', and kissed his mother's cheek.
"I've got to get going Draco, your father must be waiting for me." She said hastily, wiping away the tears flowing down her cheeks. Draco's eyes hardened at the mention of his father.
"Mother, if he does anything to you, anything, tell me. Tell me, and leave him. I will deal with him later, do not stay for me. Agreed?" Draco ordered.
His mother simply shook her head, and slowly took her hand from Draco's, and left the station with small quivering steps.
Draco sighed, and turned towards the train. He paused before boarding the train, and made his face expressionless. He was a master at that, it was like a thin layer of ice covering his face so well, that no one, not even his father, could break through the ice to reach a pit of emotions.

Amber looked up from the window when Ginny sat down. "Ginny!" she squealed, as she hugged her.
Harry looked up from the chess game and smiled. "Hey Gin," he said, before casting his eyes back to the game. Ginny rolled her eyes but responded nevertheless with a cheeful "hi!"
Hermione looked up from her book as well, and started to ramble on about her adventures she had while visiting the United States. Luna hadn't even noticed the talking going on in the compartment, and seemed to be lost into her magazine more than ever.
Amber and Ginny looked at eachother and nodded.
"We'll be right back," Amber announced, as they left the compartment and walked down the aisle.
"So Ammie," Ginny said using the nickname for her one and only bestfriend,"You excited about our sixth year?"
"Hell yeah!" Amber smirked, a common Slytherin trait, supposedly.
Yes, Amber was a Slytherin. Why would a Slytherin want to be friends with a Gryfindor? And a Weasley? Ginny doesn't know. But Amber wasn't like the others, she was kind, funny, and loyal, and Ginny loved her for that. Amber had caught Micheal Corner shagging Pansy Parkinson while Ginny was dating him, and she told her right away. They hit it off, and soon were best friends.
Ginny passed a compartment, and saw Micheal Corner snogging Cho Chang sensless. How he went from Pansy to Cho, Ginny didn't know, but she knew one thing. She couldn't let Amber see them snogging. Sure, Ginny had a really explosive anger, but she knew there was no reason in getting involved with this problem. And Amber was the one who would get worked up with this. Amber is definetly not a pretty sight when she's angry.
Ginny sped up their pace, grinning and laughing, trying to distract Amber from that compartment. Ginny sighed with relief as they passed it, glad that Amber hadn't noticed.
Suddenly, Amber gave a fake smile towards Ginny, doubled back, and opened the compartment door in a flash. In a second, she was all over Micheal and Cho, yelling at them and kicking Micheal in the shin every millisecond.
"You bastard!" Ginny winced at Amber's use of language. She felt bad for Micheal. "You dumped Ginny for this?! THIS?!" she exlaimed, poking a long finger into Micheal's chest. "First you lead Ginny on, then you shag Parkinson, and now what're you trying to do? Shag Chang, and then choose another victim?!"
She turned to Cho who had a look of surprise on her face. "Look here, Chang" she spat out,"I suggest you stay away from this son of a bitch, because he's gonna rip out your heart and stomp on it until you won't have a heart at all." And with that being said, she haughtily turned around, and stomped out of the compartment, slamming the door behind her.
"Well," Amber huffed, "that went well." And with a genuine smile, she led a laughing Ginny away.

Draco sighed. He's gonna have to deal with those two lumps of flesh, Crabbe and Goyle, and the slut, Pansy Parkinson. He just wanted to be alone for the moment, and not be tailed by someone every second of his life. He sighed once more.
"Draco darling, are you sad? I could warm you up a bit you know," she said with an attempted seductive wink, a nudge with her hip.
"Pansy, not now. I'm going for a walk." He said abruptly, and left the compartment. He wanted to find his actual friend, and not a lump of flesh. He walked down the aisles looking inside every compartment, trying to find Blaise.
Looking into the compartment on his right, he bumped into someone. He saw a girl about to fall from the force of the collision, and he quickly wrapped his arms around her tiny waist before she could fall.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ginny had just bumped into someone, and was about to fall when she felt strong arms tighten around her waist, pulling her back up. She turned around to thank her savior, and found herself looking into the silver orbs of Draco Malfoy.
They just stared at eachother for a minute or two. His eyes amazed Ginny, they showed no emotion, but she was sure, so sure of it, that those eyes held so much more the he masked to anyone who looked.
Amber coughed. Ginny leapt out of his arms, and turned on him. She sighed, and was about to thank him when he smirked that stupid smirk, and raised an eyebrow.
"Wow, Weaslette, I never thought you'd get a chest." His smirk grew bigger, if that's possible.
"Wow, Ferret. I never thought you'd get a brain. Oops, my bad. You don't have one." Ginny retorted. Amber snorted behind her.
Draco's eyes raked over her grown perfectly shaped body, and long legs. She was wearing simple jeans, straw sandals, a black t-shirt that had a cow on it, and said "Moo". It was so simple, but somehow enhanced her beauty. Her straight red hair clung to her back, and shoulders, glinting gold in the light. Her chocolate brown eyes had angry sparks in it while she stared at him with hate.
Draco looked a bit disheveled instead of his normal self. His hair didn't seem to be slicked back as much, and actually seemed a bit unruly, but just a bit. He was wearing loose jeans, and a long green t-shirt that simply said "Love me." He had dark circles under his eyes, and seemed exceptionally tired.
Draco shook his head. "Good bye Weaslette, Amber" he said, obviously having something else on his mind.
Ginny and Amber stood confused in the aisle staring at Draco's retreating back, surprised that he didn't retort at all.
