Kagome ran down to Harry's compartment, watching the light push the dark and evil creatures out from the room, when the creature was pushed farther down the corridor by a man much older than herself, she snuck past him and inside the compartment room. "Harry!"

Hermione caught her as she entered the room, holding her in a tight hug as she trembled nervously over the fall of her closest friend over the last two years. Kagome hugged her back, she had only known Harry for a year, but he was as good a friend as any, and she wanted nothing to happen to him...nothing to hurt him.

"Hermione, what happened?!"

"Dementors, they came in, it was so cold, I don't know what happened to Harry, but he started screaming out for his mother...he is out cold, looks so pale..."

"Oh...Harry," Kagome moved to her friend and placed a hand on his shoulder, giving a slight nudge, she tried to wake him from his dreadful slumber. "Harry, please wake up,"

"He will be fine with a little time, come,"

Kagome turned to see the man from earlier, her eyes turned about the room and she searched out a clue to his name, assuming the trunk on the shelf belong to him, his name was R. J. Lupin, "Professor Lupin," She said, turning back to him, "Are you so sure he'll be okay?"

"Yes, a Dementor is a nasty thing, they suck the happiness out of you; eating away at every happy thought and happy memory you may have had...horrible creatures...with a little chocolate though, he'll be good as new."

"Ch-chocolate?"

"That's right," Lupin smiled, "Now, I'll take you back to your compartment, and then I'll take care of Harry. I'm sure your friends are equally as worried for you as you were for Harry."

Kagome smiled and followed after him, turning to Hermione, she called, "I'll meet with you guys once we get to school,"

Hermione nodded and went back to Harry.

Draco was standing up talking with Blaise and Honey when their compartment door was opened by Kagome. Draco took her by the hand and pulled her inside where he and Blaise both hugged her, checking to make sure nothing was broken or missing on her.

"I'm fine!" She snapped when Blaise tried lifting her robe.

Blaise laughed, "Just making sure," he stopped laughing and gave her a serious look, "We were really worried Kagome, you can't fight off a Dementor..."

Kagome smiled, "Well...I can't yet...but there is clearly a way to do so."

"Yeah, a way that we'll learn of once we are sixth or seventh years." Pansy scoffed, still not too keen on the 'forgo hating Kagome', idea.

"You guys can wait...but as for me, I don't plan on waiting for four or five more years to learn a defensive spell that could ultimately save my life!" Kagome snapped.

Draco sighed, sitting down, he pulled Kagome down beside him and let his head rest against her shoulder, "I'll learn with you, just...not today...not this week...lets get to school and, I don't know...have a class before we go rushing into another adventure...and don't say we wont," He stopped her as she made to open her mouth and protest. "Learning something like how to fend off Dementors is just begging for a bloody adventure, and you like the idea of running around the castle and intercepting danger before it reaches Harry."

Kagome laughed, "Alright, we'll wait, but I plan on confronting Professor Lupin and asking him to teach me how to perform...whatever it was that he preformed,"

"Right..." Blaise sighed, "But this time you take me on your adventure!"

Draco frowned, "You complained last time, saying you didn't want to do any more adventures, you didn't even want to go into the abandoned girls' lavatory on the third floor."

"That was different!"

"Not," Draco called back to his Italian friend.

Kagome stood abruptly, "Oh, shut it you two! We are almost to Hogwarts, Pansy, Ginger, Luna, Astoria, would you like to join me, I'm going to go change, we can give the boys a little bit of time to sort things out while we are gone."

Honey stood and followed after the girls only for Blaise to grab him by the color of his shirt and pull him back.

"Where do you think you're going?" Blaise stared the honey haired boy down.

"Not to do what you're thinking, I would rather not be in here while you guys are changing! Let go of me, I'm going to return to my compartment, Ginger will return as well once she has finished changing."

Blaise huffed, but let him go.

Draco pulled his shirt off as he looked at Theo who was already changing, his robe in hand as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

"What's his deal?"

Draco smirked, looking at Blaise, he turned to Theo and caught his eyes, watching his other friend shake his head before he gave a small nod and continued to get dress.

Ginny turned as Honey walked back in, she had just finished changing into her own uniform and was pulling her robe on; she, Honey, Ginger, and Neville had been sharing a compartment, when ginger and Neville had gone out looking for his toad, the train had slowed to a stop, Honey had gone out looking for his sister, and that was when the Dementors had attacked...or, well, whatever they had been on the train for.

"Hey, where is Ginger?"

"Changing," Honey slumped back into his seat, the one he'd been in before the train had been stopped.

Ginny sat down beside him and nudged him a bit, she wasn't necessarily friends with him, but she would be an idiot to consider him an enemy of any sort. "you seem down, what's wrong,"

Honey smiled charmingly, his bangs brushing his auburn eyes as he looked at her, "Ha, I keep asking myself the same question. You'll have to get to know me a little bit better before I go telling you all of my problems though; for now, I'll just say that I'm a little confused. Maybe, by the time you and I know each other a little bit better, I'll be able to give you a better answer, and have a better answer to give myself."

Ginny looked a little confused, sometimes she felt like she was talking to an adult, and not a student like herself, he and his sister always sounded so much more mature, and they had a way of making her feel like a little kid...which she was, but...well, so were they!

"Alright then," Ginny smiled, stepping out of the compartment, she turned and faced him, "I'll give you some time to change, I'm going to go find your sister."

He nodded and watched the compartment door shut before he started to change his clothes.

Kagome stretched as the train finally came to a stop at the Hogwarts Express Station, racing Blaise out of the compartment, she was at the exit doors before they were even open. She saw Hagrid on the other side waving at them and smiled, waving back as the doors swung open and let the students off. "Hagrid!"

"Èllo there Kag'me," He grinned happily as she gave him a hug.

"How was break, Hagrid?"

Hagrid looked surprised, turning at Draco's voice. He knew the boy had said that they would all miss him, but it was still hard to conceive that a Malfoy of all people could miss someone of his race...a half giant.

"Ah...it was good, though, ya migh' wanna go home once ya hear what Dumbledore has ter say at dinner t'night."

Draco frowned, "Why's that?"

Hagrid gave him a tired look, "I'd tell ya m'self, but I got ter tend to the first years, yer lot best be on yer way,"

Kagome and Draco moved on and he led her towards a carriage where he climbed in. Kagome saw Luna standing before the carts and moved towards her loony friend. "What are you doing Luna?"

"Petting the Thestrals,"

"...Thestrals?"

"Yes, that's right..." Luna gaze a dazed smile, "Oh, hello Harry, how are you feeling?"

Kagome turned to see Harry standing beside her, "Hi Harry,"

"Hi Luna, Kagome, what are you two looking at?"

"I'm not looking at anything, Luna is, a...Thestral..."

"I see you both don't believe me, Loony Lovegood..."

Kagome smiled, "Not true Miss. Loony, I believe you, I know well enough, that just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there. I just wonder why you can see them...and I can't..."

"Well, I assume its because you haven't witnessed death."

Both Harry and Kagome shared a look, asking the silent question of 'have you witnessed death', and to their silent inquiry, they gave a silent answer in the form of a head shake.

Luna smiled at the display, "They can only be seen by people who've seen death...I guess you should consider yourself lucky, hope that you never do see them," she gave a final pat on the invisible creatures head before she climbed into the cart.

Kagome frowned, walking off towards the cart with Draco, Blaise and Pansy; she gave a final look back at the invisible creature pulling their cart. '...they can only be seen by those who have seen death...who has Luna seen die?'
