Ginny moved down aisle after aisle until meeting up with Serena Port, her best friend, a tall blonde who looked like she should be a model. Hermione had gone straight to the Head carriage to discuss tactics with the Head Boy a Hufflepuff named Brian Creeser. After meeting up the best friends ran into their favorite person in like the whole wide world (insert sarcasm).

"Ginny, Serena how are you guys?" said Romilda Vane in a fake concerned voice. Serena knew how to play cool though.

"Oh my gosh! Romilda we're so well. I think we saw you the other day actually! You see this girl was was stuffing her bra in the middle of diagon alley and we're sure it was you!" said Serena sweetly.

The fake smile instantly rolled off Romilda's face, completely shocked that they had seen her. In a desperate attempt to make Ginny look bad she asked "So Ginny, hows Harry?" with one of those pure bitchy looks in her eyes. " You, know I hate to tell you this GinGin but, Harry and I totally hooked up this summer. We're super serious about each other. But don't feel too bad Cho Chang and Michael Corner broke up so you can always have another ex back." said Romilda giggling.

"Oh Romilda you're so funny!" said Ginny trying to keep it cool. "If Harry is hooking up with you, then why did he give me a key to his flat?" she said in mock confusion. Trying to stifle her laugh at the look of pure anger and embarrassment on the younger girl's face.

"O! Romilda, she got you!" said one boy from Ravenclaw.

"Yeah, Romilda, everybody knows you're nothing to guys but a stalker" said Richie Cootes.

Ginny grabbed Richie and Serena's hands before walking away from all of the cackling boys.

Once the trio found a compartment they were finally able to relax.

"Wow! Not even on the train five minutes and we're already causing drama" laughed Serena.

"Hey, if you guys didn't cause drama and be the girls everyone's talking about you wouldn't be you!" said Richie with his arms around both girls in a platonic way.

"too true" said Ginny with a smile. "Would you guys be mad at me if I said I totally wish I wasn't coming back to Hogwarts though?" Ginny said quietly, almost ashamed of what she just admitted.

"No." said Richie "Not completely anyways" he laughed as Ginny gave him a shove.

"Well one thing is for sure, this is going to be one hell of a year" said Serena

"Yeah. Hopefully in a different way than last year" said Ginny as she, Serena, and Richie dug into their piles of licorice wands and pumpkin pasties.

"Gin, honestly. How could this year go wrong?" said Richie in his usual laid back voice.

"you're back with Harry, Moldy Voldy is dead, Serena's back at school, and well now I've got to get a girl to go out with me!" he said laughing.

"Richie, honestly there are a ton of girls who would love to go out with you" said Serena in her flirtatious tone. But of course, being a guy, Richie was too thick to notice it.

"Thanks for the confidence booster Serena" said Richie seriously. "See this is why you guys are my best friends. You guys get it. Even though my guy friends don't get how I can be best friends with the two of you and never have done anything dirty." he said laughing when Ginny cringed and when Serena pretended to cringe. But Richie would never know the difference.

"Well enough of this rubbish pep talk from Mr. Casanova over here, I want some food!" said Ginny in the most Weasley -ish way possible.

"Hey Harry" said Alex Heath, a fellow auror trainee and Ron and Harry's roommate. They had met Alex at orientation and had hit it off the best out of all of the rest. He was American and didn't know that much about Voldemort or who the famous boy-who-lived was, and to be quite frank, he didn't care. That was their favorite thing about Alex. He was laid back.

"Whats up mate?" said Harry popping open a butter beer from their fridge.

"Webber called, we've got to get down to the ministry for some sort of meeting." he replied leaning back in one of the kitchen chairs.

"fan-bloody-tastic" said Ron coming out from his room.

"What's he want this time?" said Harry.

Harry had never met anyone like Logan Webber in his life. The man was like the ultimate drill Sargent. He kept all of the trainees on their toes.

"I don't know, guess we'll find out won't we?" he said pulling his ministry uniform shirt over his head.

"Yes you will now let's get moving boys" said their trainee group leader Heidi Stan, who although stood only 5'2 was one of the toughest woman you would ever meet in your life. She could easily kick Harry, Ron, and Alex's arse's put together in about five minutes.

Which is exactly why Alex hit on her every single time he saw her.

"Yes, Heidi, we should get moving, I mean we have things do, don't we" said Alex slipping an arm around her.

"One more word Heath and you'll find yourself infertile." said Heidi in an absolute serious tone while Harry and Ron sniggered in the back round as Alex moved a good three feet away from her.

"I'm glad we understand each other, now let's get going, the Lestrange trial will be starting in ten minutes" she said flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulder before walking out the apartment door with Harry, Ron, and Alex following behind.

A/N: so this is the 2nd chapter in the longer fic. I really hope you guys enjoy it. Please review!! And thanks so much for your previous comments.
