Chaos at the Hogwarts Express

"I can't believe it! How can Professor Mcgonagall let that happen! I'm going to talk to her first-hand after we reach Hogwarts. For Merlin's sake! He's a bloody death-eater! He's a murderer! He killed – my parents." There's a designated train compartment for the returning 8th year students and the moment the door closed its Hermione's voice that can be heard. All returning 8th years just stare at her afraid that if they try to calm her down, she'll hex them. Of course! She's a war heroine. The brain of the Golden Trio. And just her presence gives them the creeps given the state she's in right now.

"And I can hear you Granger, you know?" Here comes the voice of Draco Malfoy. Sitting at a secluded corner sounding very bored.

"Merlin please.! And he found his voice. Why doesn't he just shut his foul-evil-mouth! Please kill him now before I do it myself!"

"Hermione – "

"Harry Potter! You're not going to take his side again! It's enough that you acted as his witness in his trial but this time I'm not going to allow that. You understand?! I don't bloody care if his mother lied to Voldemort saying that you're dead when you're not."

Everyone flinch at the word. "What?! Still afraid of the evil-ass Voldemort?! He's dead for crying out loud! Harry Potter, you're not taking his side. Understand?"

"Herm – "

"Understand?!"

"Hermione!" Harry had enough. "You will calm down and listen to me this instant! Do you think they will allow him to go back to Hogwarts if he convicted a crime?"

"Oh please?! So killing muggles including my parents is not a crime then?!"

This time Ron found his voice. "There's no evidence that support such theory Hermione."

"Ronald! The evidence is weak!"

"No Hermione! You're just blinded by your anger to see the truth. And they say you're the smart one."

Hermione's eyes scan the room. Harry, Ron, Luna, Blaise, Parvati, Neville, Lavender, Ginny, Malfoy and herself. Ten returning 8th year students. "Lavender! Your parents have been killed right?" Lavender just nodded her head. "Then why are you all so calm? It's their fault. They're lot –"

"Death-eaters, Granger. We were called Death-eaters."

"Shut it Malfoy! Next time I hear you speak you'll gonna regret you're being born that you're going to beg me to drag you to Azkaban instead! You'll be happy there! You'll be reunited with your Father! To your murderer friends! You-foul-evil-little-cockroach!" Hermione said through gritted-teeth. Her anger is so much everyone's afraid that even her friends cannot handle her.

Ginny stand this time making her way to Hermione. "Let's get you out of here first Hermione. I think you need some air – "

"No Ginny! I'll stay here until I get my revenge!"

"It's not his fault Granger." It's Blaise that speak. "Having a Father like Lucius automatically got you a ticket to Azkaban. Being raised with muggle prejudices and hatred and a great follower of the Dark Lord. It's not his fault. Potter, Weasley, a little help will do here you know? Try to calm her down. Breathe Granger."

"No one asked your opinion Zabini."

Malfoy face her and for a few seconds, they're eyes lock. Gray meeting a very furious brown. Until Draco broke the contact and said "I thought you're the one who's going to be understanding in matters like this Granger. But according to what I'm seeing, Potty and Weasel seems to get it faster than you."

"Shut up Ferret!" Ron and Harry said in unison.

"And here they say you're the smart one Granger."

No one notice Hermione waving her wand until they feel a force throwing them out of the compartment. Lavender and Luna stumble and landed face first outside the compartment door. They hear a click and the door locked leaving a very angry Hermione and a smirking Malfoy inside.

The first one to speak is Neville aiding an aching arm from a bad fall. "Is it just me? Or I'm feeling someone's gonna end up in the Hospital Wing tonight?"

"Oh Merlin! Harry, Ron please call help." It's Ginny and when neither Ron nor Harry move she scream. "Now!" The two stumble to their feet and run to the corridor looking for the professor's compartment.

Wide eyes, they watch through the glass door as Hermione lifted her wand to Draco's heart. "Weaslette, tell me Granger's not planning to kill him." Blaise said.

"Let's see. She killed a dozen Death-eaters. Help round up the rest to be thrown to Azkaban. She's a bloody good Auror in the making. Plus, she's too stubborn for her own good. I'm afraid she's planning to kill him."

"Ow. Poor Draco."
