The loud whistle of the Hogwarts Express echoed off the walls of Platform 9 ¾s. Nico Sangre had to yell just to speak.

"You have to understand Marie, it's not that I don't love you, because I do. I'm just moving on in my life, to dangerous things, and I don't want you to get hurt," Nico explained to the girl standing in front of him. He pushed back his platinum blonde hair out of his light blue, almost silver eyes as he smiled at the younger girl. "You understand don't you?" The poor girl opened her mouth to say something in return, but she was shoved aside by two boys.

"Get lost will you?" One of the boys, Elliot, snapped, "He's already dumped you hasn't he?" The girl looked at the trio of Slytherins and bolted off.

"Who was that?" Rabastan asked as he glared at her passing figure.

"Marie Lockheart," Nico explained. He watched both boys turn at him with their eyebrows raised. "She's a Ravenclaw," still no change, "Gilderoy Lockheart's sister." The two Slytherins put two and two together and they both nodded.

"She's a pureblood right?" Rabastan questioned as he narrowed his dark eyes at Nico who returned the look with a deadpan expression.

"Obviously," he snapped at Rabastan as he pushed away from the two. Elliot sighed and turned back to Rabastan.

"So much for that, I guess I'll see you at later," Elliot said as he and Rabastan climbed onto the Hogwarts express.

"Why?" Rabastan asked as and Elliot shoved some first years out of the way.

Rabastan shook his head in disgust,

"I can't believe you and Johanna became prefects last year, I mean you two… Neither of you ever do your rounds."

"I know, it's great!" Elliot chortled, "I'm going to get the new prefects to do it." Rabastan shot Elliot an angry glance and sighed. "Fine, I'll see you in the compartments. Maybe I'll go find Hadrian and Kalim. You want to come Nico?"

"I'll meet up with you a bit later, there's something I have to do," Nico explained as he walked to the front of the train.

"He means there's someone he needs to do," Elliot grinned. Rabastan shook his head and patted Elliot on the shoulder,

"Come and find me when you're done with prefect duties." The two sixth years went their separate ways down the train.

"I am telling you Lauren, it was the best day of my life! It should be the best day of all of our lives!" Tabitha Knight explained her brown eyes gleaming as she pushed her dirty blonde hair back. "You should have been there, why weren't you there?" Lauren Prince shrugged and pulled her blonde hair back in a ponytail.

"I had to do some last minute shopping with Severus." Severus Snape and Lauren Prince were cousins and like Tabitha, both in Slytherin house.

"Oh…" Tabitha remained silent as she and Lauren walked down the corridors. She wasn't too fond of Lauren's cousin. The two opened a door to a compartment and inside were two girls. A shorter girl, about 5"2 with dark brown hair and brownish black eyes. Next to her was another girl with long black hair and glinting blue eyes.

"Hey Tabby, Lauren," the first girl spoke.

"Lydia," Tabitha responded, "It's good to see you, it's been a while." Lydia Stone and Tabitha Knight had known each other since childhood. They were as close as family yet they were each others main competition. Both girls would do anything to join the ranks of the Death Eaters.

"How was the party?" The other girl, Emma Nightshade asked. Emma came from a well-respected family, just not the type who associated with Death Eaters. Emma and her older brother Michael were the only two who were interested in Voldemort.

"Good, I saw Michael there. He's a full fledged Death Eater now huh?" Tabitha asked.

"Yeah, he's been kicked out of the family too."

"It's worth it though," Lydia interjected, "To work for the Dark Lord." The three girls nodded in agreement with Lydia. The train started to roll down the tracks and the girls took their seats. About an hour or two into the ride the sliding doors opened. Johanna King walked into the compartment. She squeezed in between Tabitha and Lauren and sighed.

"I fucking hate Potter and his friends. Black is such a git, if I wasn't going to loose us point I would have hexed him."

"He's an arse," agreed Lauren. She hated the four marauders, as they were known. Lauren could be considered a prankster, but those four boys always outsmarted her. "Regulus is lucky he turned out normal."

"Well I've always said that Black was an anomaly," Johanna explained referring to Sirius, "I mean how could he be the only member of his family to turn out so… wrong."

"His parents had a reason for disowning him," Emma explained. Ever since Michael had been disowned she held a grudge against her father. She understood Sirius' expulsion – nobody wanted to be associated with a blood traitor. In Emma's opinion her father should have worshiped Michael for joining the Death Eaters – of course he didn't.

"I can't believe the Potters took him in…" Lauren said as she settled into her seat, "I mean he's a blood-traitor don't they know what that means?"

"Of course they don't," Johanna snapped, "They don't understand what's happening. Nobody outside the inner circle does. Hell I doubt even the Minister of Magic is truly aware of what's happening."

"He doesn't," a male voice added, the girls turned to see Elliot Crouch leaning against the doorframe. "Not even my father knows."

"Are you sure?" Tabitha asked. She knew Barty Crouch, he was intelligent he had to know something and that worried Tabitha. She couldn't allow anything to happen to the Dark Lord.

"Yeah, he'd clueless. I snuck into his office the other day," Elliot took a quick look around the hallway, "the murders are all dead ends." The rest of the train ride passed quickly. The feast and the sorting were uneventful, with the sigh exception of Rabastan getting caught trying to hex Frank Longbottom's girlfriend Alice. Frank threatened to write him up when Rodolphus and Lucius showed up and insisted it was an accident.

The real excitement of the first day back at Hogwarts began after curfew. The resident sixth and seventh year Slytherins piled themselves into the dark common room. Any left over underclassmen were shooed by Lucius and Bellatrix. As the group got comfortable Lucius stood up and started to address them,

"As you all know this is the last year at Hogwarts for many of us," he glanced at Bellatrix, Kalim, Hadrian, Rodolphus and the other seventh years, "which means that soon we will be joining the prestigious ranks of the Death Eaters." There was silence in the room and all of the sixth years looked up at the seventh years adoringly. "What I'm getting at is that this is going to be our year. This year we will all rule this school. Soon enough all of us will have a place in the new society and we will rule this world." There was a silent appreciation. Lucius continued his speech and once it ended everyone went up to their respective dormitories. Well almost everyone. Before Johanna and Elliot could make it to the stairs Lucius grabbed them both by the back of their shirts and yanked them in front of him.

"We need to talk," he whispered into their ears. Johanna's eyes widened slightly and Elliot blinked a few times at Lucius.

"Are we in trouble?" He asked cautiously. Lucius shook his blonde head,

"Not unless you have a reason to be. I've spoken to my father… I told him how this would be your second year as Prefects. He knows who you two are and who you're related too," Johanna felt that this was more directed at Elliot, "and he informed the Dark Lord." Elliot set his jaw and Johanna frowned.

"And we're not in trouble?" She spoke quietly.

"No… you're not," Lucius repeated exasperated – he swore they were smarter last time they spoke. "He's impressed." It was clear who the 'He' was, it was the Dark Lord. "He would like too meet you both in person. Caius is one of his most trusted advisors and Elliot; he's impressed with your dedication… My initiation is going to be on Halloween; he moved it up from Christmas. You know, it's normally private… but he wants you two to be there."

"I don't know what to say…" Elliot murmured.

"Don't say anything. To any one, not even Tabitha. I know how close the three of you are, but really don't," Once he finished speaking Lucius waved them off. Johanna walked into the dorm and stood in front of her bed.

"Hey," Tabitha whispered, "What took you so long?" She asked.

"Lucius wanted to talk to me about some stuff… he wants me to be Head Girl next year. Not that he can really do anything about it, but he wants me to be on good behavior this year."

"When are you not?" Tabitha joked.

"There was that incident where I hexed that MacDonald girls broom during Quidditch practice… detention for a week," sighed Johanna as she shed her robes.

"That is true… anyway goodnight."

"Night, Tabby."
