Albus was dreading gong back to school. The summer hadn't gone as well as it could be, but he rather still be home. The only good thing about going back was seeing Alek. Alek was his best friend. He was from Bulgaria,but he went to Hogwarts. Albus still wasn't sure why, but he was happy he did. Alek helped him a lot, since they were both Slytherin. A Potter in Slythin? Yeah it sucked. It was his fifth year so there was less of that. Once in a while someone would make some crud remark, but it wasn't often.
Albus sat in a comportment in the Slythin section on train. It wasn't long until Alek found him. "Alek! It's so good to see you. I missed you over the summer." Being around Alek made him feel better. Alek always protected him.
"My parents were a pain, but summer was normal. It's good to see you again too."
Albus could tell there was someone wrong, but he didn't want to push it. It was just something in his friend's voice that he could tell he was lying. Of course Albus was lying too so he wasn't going to push it.
"What do you think about the muggle war?"
"Let the muggles do what they want. It's not like it effects us," Alek said. He looked concernd. "Are you sure everything is okay? You look nevous."
"N-no. Everything is fine. Why do you think there's anythin wrong?" Albus cursed himself for stuttering. "I can't talk about it okay? Just drop it."
"But you tell me everything."
"Look I'll tell you all about it, just not right now."
Alek sighed. "Alright, but I'm holding you on telling me later."
"Let's just enjoy the ride to school and being back together."

Luis sat in his compartment with Ciel. They were both only in their fourth year, but they were close friends. "How was your summer? You stopped writing me half way through the summer," Ceil asked.
Luis looked uncomfortable. "There was an accident. I got hurt working with the dragons. I spent a good deal of time in the hospital. I'm still not as good as I was before the accident. I'm scared I won't be as good as I was before getting hurt at Quidditch." Luis was,by far, the best seeker in the school. He lead Hufflepuff, his house, to winning the quiddich since his thrid year. Everyone thought he would go into professinal quidditch, but now that was uncertain. "I have to find away to stay strong. Everyone needs me."
"I'm sure you'll figure it out," Ciel said. Luis liked Ciel, but wasn't sure if the other male like him or not. Luis had a problem. Being the only male veela had it's problems. Men were attractive to him as if he were a full veela female. He had issues dealing with that. It was the problem that caused him not to share his feelings for his Ravenclaw best friend.
"Your brother went to war didn't he? That must be scary knowing he's in danger all the time," Luis said. Probaby not the best subject, but he didn't want to talk more about his own problems.
"Yeah. He knows what he's doing."
"Molly is probably going to be keeper again." Again, changing subject again. Molly was what people would call a whore. She didn't that work. She said she wasn't getting paid so she wasn't a whore. She didn't mind slut cousin slept with a men, and, one or two girls, a lot. They even said she was so good with broom because she was good at riding things.
"Your cousin sure it good at it. She has trouble going agaist James though. He's probably the best keeper the school has. There are a lot of your family on quidditch teams aren't there?'
"Yeah. I know James gets upset when he loses. Gryffindor has been known to be the best quidditch team, that or Sytherin. I like that Hufflepuff is winning."
Ciel leaned back into the couch. "And don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine at Qudditch. I have faith in you."
"Thanks."

James was hanging around the rest of Gryffindor Quidditch team. Lily and Rose were there as well. It was nice to have family on the team. Dominique, Roxanne, and Albus were all on the Slytherin team. Then there was Luis. The blonde kid was on the Hufflepuff team and did damn good. "Good summer?" Asher asked. Asher was James' best friend. The two had been close since their first year here, meeting on that train.
"You know it. I worked hard, and made Lily work hard, at qudditch. We're going to win the cup this year. I'm sure nothing will stop it."
Asher laughed." It's good to hear you so positive." Asher crached his arm, like there was something there.
"Is something wrong with your arm? Want me to loo-
"No," Asher cut in. "Everything's fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all."
"You're lying," James stated.
"Look I can't tell you anything right now. Let me try and figure things out and I'll tell you everything. Right now, it's dangerous-"
"If it's dangerous you need to tell me so I can help," James cut in again.
"You can't help this. It's too big,"Asher said. "Give me time. I promise I'll tell you everything soon."
"I don't like this. You better tell me me soon or I'll be on your case about it."
"Is everything okay?" Lily asked, walking over to them.
"Everything's fine," Asher said. "Just talking about our summer."\
"If you say so.'' Lily said going back to talking to Rose and the rest of the team.
