"Severus has informed me that the teachers are as normal, although some have been acting suspicious." Dumbledore stared at the flickering green flames of the fire.

"Then we might have to, take care of them." His caller replied.

"Should I send the friends their latest instalment?"

"Yes, but add a tracker." Dumbledore stared into his callers eyes lovingly.

"When shall I next see you?"

Whenever I feel like it." The call ended, Dumbledore chuckled to himself. That boy always did like to keep him waiting.

Pansy straddled Draco and began to nibble his ear.

"Pansy we have been through this, I don't want to fuck you." Draco shifted his pelvis beneath pansy's weight. He could already feel his body reacting to her hands. She leaned over slightly, revealing an ample cleavage.

"I know your erect Draco, and you didn't mind last year." The train quickly jolted forward, making pansy's pelvis move in a riding motion. Draco stood, not wanting to give in to his throbbing erection. There was a loud thump as Pansy hit the ground. Draco opened their compartment door, leaving a wailing Pansy behind. He walked down the length of the Hogwarts Express. He felt relived when the lump in his pants finally subsided.

Hermione stared at the two idiots she had tolerated for the past four years of her life. She smiled to herself, as Harry and Ron fought over the last chocolate frog. It hopped all over the compartment, until finally Harry cast Wingardium Leviosa and skilfully guided the frog into his mouth.

"Not fair!" Ron retorted, crossing his arms and pouting like a child.

"Oh Ronald, you are such a baby." Hermione said playfully. Ron smiled goofily, grabbing another lolly snake and popped it in his mouth. Hermione smiled again, it was nice to forget the events of last year. You Know Who's return was hard to comprehend, although no one except a select few actually believed Harry. The Daily Prophet not being one of them. Though there was nothing that could be done about that. Hermione was suddenly pulled from her train of thought, with a need for the bathroom.

"I'll be back in a moment." She said. Harry and Ron nodded aimlessly as she closed the compartment door behind her. As she turned she ran into a solid figure, as she looked up she recognised it as none other than Draco Malfoy. He pushed her away from him.

"Get off me Granger; I don't want to get any of your mud blood on me." He sneered as he continued down the train. Hermione stared on after him, quite strangely not feeling insulted by his words.

"He's a strange one, he is." Hermione turned to find Seamus Finnigan shaking his head.

"Yes, he is. How was your summer?" She asked to be polite.

"Me mams been doing poorly. Apart from that it was alright, I guess." He said staring off outside the window.

"Oh, I'm sorry Seamus." She said sympathetically. "Could we continue this later, I have to go to the bathroom." She said smiling.

"Er… sure….." Seamus looked at her strangely and let her pass him. Hermione continued up the train until she reached the bathrooms.

"As many of you know, there has been much confusion on the matter of You Know Who's return. May I just say students, that what you have been reading in the papers is a lie, and that in fact he has returned." Dumbledore stared out across the students. They where all chatting and whispering. He noticed a few of them pointing at Harry, but made no effort to point it out.

"So, tread with caution. You can never know who your enemies really are. Oh, before I forget. Please give a warm welcome to our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Delores Umbridge." Dumbledore smiled and showed off the new piece in his collection. The vulgar woman stood and bowed her head towards the students. For merlins sake he hated the ministry for sending her, but he had to comply with their wishes if he wanted to keep his position. She began to wonder off into a little speech, so he decided to tune out.

………….0…………..

Harry sat and stared at the short and stout woman that was Delores Umbridge. He sniggered at her attire, pink shoes, pink dress, and pink cardigan. She was going to get on just fine in Hogwarts. He sniggered again.

"And sorry to contradict you Albus, but You Know Who has not returned. And I don't think the ministry would appreciate you telling the students otherwise." She smiled out at the students, all the teachers behind her frowned, obviously thinking that she was not sorry.

"Well thank- you for that speech professor. Now let's begin the feast!" As normal the tables filled themselves with plates of food. The first years stared at the food in amazement. Harry chuckled, remembering that he had thought the same when he first arrived at Hogwarts. He piled mashed potatoes and chicken wings onto his plate. He shovelled some of the food into his mouth. Over the course of the meal he occasionally added to the convocation, but he mostly kept to himself.

Draco stared over at the Gryffindor table.

"When had Granger become so damn attractive?" He asked himself. Or maybe he had never noticed before. He sighed; he needed to get those sorts of thoughts out of his head. He could not fall for a mud blood.
