Percy p.o.v

I woke up and quickly got ready, grabbed my luggage and headed down stairs. I met Annabeth and Ginny by the couch talking. I gave Annabeth a quick kiss on her cheek and joined them.

"You girls ready for Hogwarts?" I asked. Annabeth merely nodded while Ginny gave me thumbs up. Then red head and Harry came tumbling down the stairs with their luggage in their hands. I smiled at them, Harry didn't seem to notice but red head glared at me. Okay…that was weird. I turned my Attention back to Annabeth and Ginny but came in walking in.

"All ready? Let's go now if you want to catch the train!" she said and we all squeezed into the car.

After a drive to king's cross, we were handed a ticket. I took a short peek at it and noticed the station. 9¾? I thought. I flashed a questioning look at Ginny who just said:

"You'll see later." We made our way to station 9 and 10, then, the twins, Fred and George I think, ran straight for the wall. Instead of crashing, like you normally do, they vanished into the wall.

"All right, up you go then Percy, then follow up Annabeth." Urged. I stared uncertainly at the wall. Then I caught a glimpse of Harry and his friends staring at me with slightly narrowed eyes. So I pulled on a straight face (Annabeth already had) and ran toward the wall, Annabeth right behind me. It was pitch black and then I was at another station, but this time, there was owls and cats in cages and people holding rats. We said our good byes and loaded our luggage. We found a compartment and sat down, but after a while, Harry, red head and bushy had to join us for there was no more compartments left. It was really awkward since clearly, they all didn't like us. Then bushy seemed to remember that they were now prefects and had to go to a special meeting.

"Oh merlin! I completely forgot! C'mon Ron! We have to go to the meeting! Move it Ron!" she said. And together they scrambled out. Harry offered a weak smile that only Annabeth returned.

"So, that was Ron and Hermoine that just left and…" he stopped after that, not knowing what to say. It was complete silence after that. We sat there until Ron and Hermoine came back in. Not long after that, a blond boy who hair was gelled back, opened the compartment door.

"Well, well, looks like potter made some new friends!" he said gleefully. Whoever he was, I was sure that he and Harry were rivals.

"Go slither back under your rock Malfoy!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

"Why of course! After I make sure that the new students don't make friends with the wrong people," He said mockingly. And then turned to us.

"Draco, Draco Malfoy. I don't think that being friends with Potter isn't the best idea. Come join us in our compartment." He said, sticking a hand out. Neither Annabeth nor I took the hand. I was going to say something but Annabeth beat me to it.

"No thank you. So as Harry said, you can go slither under your rock again!" she said, her eyes slightly narrowing. Draco sneered and turned to me.

"Looks like these Losers don't like our company. Let's go now," he said to me.

"I never said I was coming, and anyway, who would want to go anywhere with you?" I shot back at him.

"You'll pay for this," he sneered, "both of you! My father will hear about this!" he said storming off.

Harry p.o.v

I'm no fan of the students, but I had fun watching them sass Malfoy! I looked at Ron and he looked like he saw a whole new light in them. But it soon changed back into a glare and they made a quiet conversation with Ginny. I reminded myself to talk to Ginny when we get the chance. "Really though," I thought to myself, "What are they hiding?"

"Oh goody! We're here! At Hogwarts!" Ginny praised.
