(I do not any of the characters in this except Fleur Isobel Rowland. Everyone else belongs to J.K. Rowling)

Well, here I am again, yet another year at Hogwarts. My name's Fleur Isobel Rowland, I'm in my 6th year here at Hogwarts. I was sorted into Hufflepuff 6 years ago, but sometimes I feel like I don't belong. I have a very bad temper compared to my fellow Hufflepuffs, sometimes I feel like I could be a Slytherin. But, that's crazy, all Slytherin's are evil. I despise them.

Hogwarts Express

I sat down finally when I found an empty compartment. "Finally!" I sigh in relief and slouch against the comfy seat. I close my eyes for a just a moment when someone knocks on my compartment door. I groan and mutter, "What? What do you want?!" I open my eyes and see Luna Lovegood and Hermione Granger standing at the door waving.

I sigh, but smile and gesture for them to come in. Hermione and Luna, my two best friends; we'd been best friends since last year when we all joined Dumbledore's Army. The funny thing was, we couldn't have been more different.

Hermione was a brown, curly haired, brown eyed Gryffindor who was a complete bookworm and teacher's pet. Luna had white blonde hair and silvery grey eyes. She was a Ravenclaw and the looniest person I know. She's also a year younger than us. Myself, well I have black hair, blue eyes, I'm a Hufflepuff and well I'm not a complete bookworm or crazy. I'm just in between.

The girls both give me hugs and sit down across from me. "How was your summer?" Hermione asks. "Did you catch any interesting creatures?" Luna asks.

I laugh, "My summer was good, I mean as good as an orphan's summer can be!"

"Luna, I don't go Nargle hunting or whatever like you!" I joke.

Luna giggles, "Well of course no Fleur, you can't see Nargles." Hermione rolls her eyes, "Anyways, did you hear the news?" she asks, practically beaming.

I shake my head confused, "No, what news?" I ask her.

She smiles and points to the 'P' badge on her robes. I gasp, "Bloody hell Hermione, you're prefect!"

She smiles and nods, "That's right. Ron and I are the Gryffindor prefects this year!" she boasts.

I smile and hug her, "Congrats babe, you deserve it!" I'm just about to ask how their summers were when the door swings open.

Standing in the door way were Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise Zabini.

"Malfoy…" Hermione grumbles under her breathe. Luna looks up at them and just stares coldly.

I glare at them, "Can we help you?" I ask Malfoy annoyed. I despised the Slytherins, though I had to admit, Malfoy was fit.

Draco smirks at me and glares at Hermione, "Just dropping in to say hello." He winks at me.

"Well hello, now goodbye." I stand up and start to shove him out the door but he stands his ground.

"Leave Malfoy." I grumble.

"Now, now babe, don't be like that!" He grabs my hand and I smack him away. Draco had been flirting with me since year 3 when I finally grew out of my baby fat and baggy clothes.

Someone taps Draco on his shoulder and he whips around, "What?!" he shouts but stops when he sees Harry and Ron.

"She said leave Malfoy." Harry death glares Malfoy.

Ron smirks, "The pretty girls don't like you around them Malfoy, go sit with that toad Parkinson."

Draco turns red, "My father will hear about this." He mutters and hurries off.

I smile at them, "Thanks, Malfoy is such a creep!" Harry nods at me, "No problem Fleur."

I turn to see Hermione beet red. I giggle, "Why are you so red?" I ask curiously.

She glares at me, "I am not!"

Luna smiles, "You are very red Hermione. Did you eat something spicy?" she asks, which just makes Hermione redder.

"Will you two shove off?" she grumbles and stands up, "If you don't mind, I need to go the prefect's cabin. I will see you when we get to Hogwarts." She sticks her nose in the air and storms away.

I burst out laughing, "She is just too easy!" I joke to myself. Harry and Ron chuckle, "Be careful Fleur, Hermione's wicked good at curses." Ron warns.

I smile and hold up my wand, "Ya, well so am I!" I wink at Ron and wave my wand around a bit. Harry smiles and Ron looks down the hallway.

"Well, I should be heading to the prefect's cabin too." He says sadly, "I guess I'll see you ladies later." He waves at Luna and I and pats Harry on the back before leaving.

"I guess I'll stay with you ladies." Harry laughs and sits beside me.

We talk for a couple hours, all three of us, about everything from our summer, to our O.W.L. marks (I had gotten 7 outstanding's and 1 exceeds expectations), and even about last year and Dumbledore's Army.

The sun was starting to set when Harry stood up and yawned, "I need to stretch my legs. I'll be back shortly." He explained before walking out the door and disappearing down the hallway.

I looked out the window at the sunset and sighed, "It's so pretty out here. So much better than that dull, grey orphanage." I mumble sadly.

Luna smiles out the window dreamily, "It is lovely isn't it?" she agrees.

She turns and stares at me, and I get the strange feeling she's staring into my mind and soul, "Luna, you got to stop bloody doing that! It gives me the creeps!" I joke.

Luna just looks back out the window, "You know, you could always stay with me and Father." She says, "My father said he'd love to have you over, I'm sure it'd be better than the orphanage." She smiles a bit.

I almost choke, "Really? You would let me?" I ask in shock.

Luna keeps staring out the window, "Of course Fleur, you are my best friend." She says simply.

I smile, "That's really, really nice of you Luna. I-" I stop talking when I realize how little she's paying attention.

I sigh and laugh to myself, "Well, we should probably get our robes on. We'll be there shortly I reckon." I suggest, changing the subject.

We change into our robes, Luna in her blue Ravenclaw and me into yellow Hufflepuff and then we wait.

Luna stands up suddenly, "I believe I'll make another round with the Quibbler." She says, grabbing a stack of magazines and skipping down the hall.

About the same moment she leaves, someone else knocks on the door. I sigh annoyed, but mutter for them to come in.

The door slides open and I see Neville Longbottom. I smile and sit up, Neville's one of my closest friends. He's so kind to me.

"Hi Neville, how was your summer?" I ask happily.

He shrugs, "All right, I suppose, nothing too exciting just my Gran going off about all the stuff going on with the Ministry." He explains.

I smile, "Must be nice having a wizard to talk to all summer." I sigh.

Neville sits down uncomfortably, "It's not that great… how was your summer though Fleur?"

I merely shrug, "Nothing special ever happens at an orphanage." I laugh.

Neville frowns, "Fleur, does the orphanage know you're a witch?"

"Only the head nun; Dumbledore explained it all to her my first year." I explain.

"Oh…" Neville nods in understanding as the train lurched to a stop.

I smile in excitement. We're here!
