Weeks soon passed and we were suddenly on our way to King's Cross Station. I made my way to Platform 9 ¾ with Malfoy and my father behind me, discussing about something in a whisper. My father came along only to carry my luggage and the birdcage that held my beautiful snow owl, Kristel. Malfoy set his luggage down next to the other Slytherin luggages as my father did the same with mine. I hugged my father as he held me close. I guess I am a daddy's girl after all. I smiled and hugged him back as well.

"Your mother and I will miss you Mindi. You be good and come back for the holidays, okay?" father asked as I smiled and let go of him.

"Of course," I replied as he stroked my hair.

"Good. Now run along. I need to have a word with Draco here," he said as I got on board the Hogwarts Express, but grew curious as to what my father wanted to say to Malfoy that he couldn't say in front of me. I stayed close by an open window that they were by and listened.

"Draco, take care of my little Mindi, okay?" my father asked as Malfoy looked around.

"Mr. Frey, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we hate each other," Malfoy said as my father laughed.

"Ah, to be young and in love again. Draco, I know Mindi's got quite a temper, her mother was like that too at her age, but that didn't stop me from trying. Even with her temper, maybe if you get on her good side, she'll warm up to you," my father said as Malfoy gasped.

"How much do you know? Does she know?" Malfoy asked. Whoa, stop this crazy train a minute! What did he mean by that? The whistles started to blow as the doors started closing.

"I know enough, but you must hurry along and board the train now boy," father said as Draco quickly walked to the door. I started to head down to the Slytherin compartment before he could see me. I quickly got to my compartment and sat down by a window, watching the outside move like a blur as the train picked up speed. I heard Malfoy come in as Parkinson acted like a giddy schoolgirl and called for Malfoy to sit by her. Well, wasn't she just an attention seeker? If its not me she's try to befriend, it's the conceited arse she wanted to impress. Talk about a bloody double-agent. I pulled out my book and started reading until I heard the compartment door open and close as people sat in front and next to me. I looked up and saw Adelia and Acacia there, smiling at me.

"Hey! The Slytherin princess is still alive! And here we thought we'd have to join Parkinson unwillingly because she died a horrible death that is the presence of the devil spawn," Acacia said as I laughed.

"I had to remain alive for your sake. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you to become Parkinson clones," I said as I heard something that burned my ears.

"How was your holiday Drakie? Did you miss me?" Parkinson cooed as I looked at Adelia and Acacia. We all shivered in disgust as a response.

"It was bearable thanks," Malfoy said as Adelia shook her head and started talking about her summer holiday. We shared a couple of laughs, but I really didn't comprehend any of it. I couldn't concentrate on a single word because I felt someone staring at me the whole train ride, but whenever I looked in that direction, I never found out who it was. I ignored it for the rest of the train ride, assuming that maybe it was my paranoia kicking in. I put my robes over what I was wearing and decided to take a little power nap until we got there, hoping Adelia and Acacia would wake me when we arrived at Hogwarts. I heard a bit of ruckus until I finally dozed off, strangely dreaming of that devil spawn Malfoy being the person that wakes me from my power nap. It changed to when we were younger, before we started Hogwarts.

*I ran around the tree, hiding behind it so Draco wouldn't find me. We were playing hide and seek and no matter how many times he begged not to be it, I won in the end. So now he was done counting and was out looking for me when I suddenly saw us, Draco and I older, looking at each other. By the looks of it, we were twelve. Draco seemed mad at me and I saw myself crying with my hair sapphire blue, meaning I was sad.

"You're a freak Frey; I wouldn't ever fall in love with you. I'd sooner fall in love with that Weasley girl or that Mudblood Granger before going to you," he said as I cried more.

"I was born like this Draco…I can't change that, nor can I change the fact that I love you," I said as he laughed harshly.

"Well, good luck with that Frey, because I'm not about to change how I see you, you freak," he said as he walked away.

I was woken up by Draco, who smiled at me, yet his eyes looked worried.

"Hey, I found you! Did you see something again Mindi?" he asked as he hugged me close.

"No, I just accidentally dozed off," I said sheepishly as he pouted.

"It didn't take that long for me to find you, did it?" he asked as I laughed.

"Yes it did. That's why I fell asleep," I said as he started tickling me.

"You lie! Mindi, tell the truth!" he exclaimed as I laughed.

"Okay! Okay! You didn't take that long! Stop! That tickles!" I exclaimed, still laughing as he stopped and smiled at me. I couldn't tell him what I saw, no matter what.*

I slowly woke up to someone carrying me and getting in the carriage. I opened my eyes and saw that the person who was carrying me was Malfoy (damn, it came true….).

"What the hell are you doing Malfoy?" I exclaimed as he looked down at me.

"I had to get you off the train since your two drones didn't want to wake you and I'm pretty sure you don't want Zabini carrying you back to Hogwarts," he said, letting go of me. Well, he got that right, Zabini may be my friend, but that guy was crushing on me! Who knows what he would have done to me in my sleep! I got up and sat away from him, holding my book still.

"Thanks," I murmured as he nodded in my direction.

"Did you see anything in your sleep?" he asked as I opened my book.

"I saw nothing of your concern Malfoy. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you," I said as he looked away.

"You're worse than that Mudblood, always reading…are you sure the Sorting Hat put you in the right house?" he asked as I rolled my eyes. Are you sure you belong on this planet and not from some other planet that got rid of you from birth because of your stupidity?

"Yes, the Sorting Hat put me in the right house Malfoy. Just because the rest of you idiots don't want to do your own work doesn't mean I'll do the same. I'm a freak remember?" I said, venom laced in those words as he flinched at my tone, but masked it completely.

"Yes, that you are Frey," he said as the carriage came to a stop. I got up, hit his head with my book and got off the carriage. Yes, that vision I had when I was nine came true in my second year and ever since that fateful day, I started to hate him with everything I had. Ever since that day in our second year, the Slytherin house split in half, one side supporting me, the other supporting that idiotic git. I caught up with Adelia and Acacia on our walk to the Great Hall.

"Why didn't you two wake me?" I asked as Adelia looked at me.

"Mindi, we wanted to, but he insisted that he'll carry you to the carriage himself and that we should go on ahead," she said as I felt that tingling feeling that help me know my hair changed colors.

"And you let that git carry me? What if he killed me Adelia?" I asked, furious at them for letting him carry me.

"We told him we'd hex him if you didn't come back," Acacia said as I shook my head.

"Don't let it happen again," I said as they nodded. Yes, I do realize that I made a mistake for not telling them to wake me when we arrived, but I assumed that they knew! I didn't know that they'd actually let Malfoy get his hands on me. I thought that Malfoy would have to get through their dead bodies before he could lay a finger on me, but I guess I should have reminded them. I changed my hair back to normal and listened to their chatter again, trying to get a hold of reality again before it slipped away.
