I must've fallen asleep because the next thing I remember was being jolted awake by someone repeatedly saying my name. As I groggily opened my eyes I saw a girl with shoulder length light brown hair standing over me with a copy of the Quibbler and it looked like she was about to smack me with it
"Whoa! Hannah, seriously now! I'm awake already dammit! What do you need me for so urgently anyway?"
"Ah! So finally you wake up after I yelled your name a kapillion times?" (I could hear the groans from my other friends in the carriage) She continued on with her rant "Basically I would like to know what our Charms homework is and yes I know it's due in the first day back but thanks to my wonderful new pet Nargal I haven't had a chance all summer to complete it so please can you help me?"
"Erm… Hannah? You do realise I'm in Slytherin don't you? Which means that I really shouldn't be helping you; but seeing as you're such a nice (I refrained from using the word 'kooky') friend then yes I will help you."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you GG! You're the best!"
"I know I am. Now then why don't you budge up next to me and I'll help you with it." I caught Hermy's eye and the look on her face was somewhere between happiness and jealously. I would never understand why she felt jealous of me, it wasn't that uncommon to have two cousins as bright as each other nor a smart Slytherin, so what was her problem? Next to me I could hear Hannah digging out her parchment, ink and quills; after what felt like forever she appeared behind the mountain of supplies and grinned her far off smile at me, she was so much like Luna it was scary, (well as we know cousins can be very similar). "Lets get started shall we? The title of the essay is 'Why could Cheering Charms be used to great effect?' "
"Seriously? That's the title? Wow Professor Flitwick must be losing his touch!" Hannah scoffed.
"Well fine! If that's the way you feel you go and ask some other poor sucker for help!" I turned to look at her angrily.
"S-S-Sorry GG I wasn't thinking at all. Please help me I promise I'll shut up and listen."
"Right, good I'm glad to hear it." So with that we spent the rest of the train journey completing Hannah's Charms essay we had just finished the last paragraph and Hannah was putting a full stop at the end of the last sentence when the train pulled into Hogsmeade station.
Once we'd all disembarked the carriage and the train a boy with brown scruffy hair came running up to me waving a card in my face
"GG! Hey wait up I have something to give you.. from Draco"
I turned around and there right in front of me was Jack Knight, a pure blood like Draco.
"Hang on a second Jack, why would Draco give you anything to pass onto me?"
"I… umm… may have said I wanted to be a part of his gang…"
"WHAT?!" Came the reply from everyone's lips including mine.
"Give me that!" I yanked the card out of his hands and sure enough it was one of those changing ones (like the badges that had 'Potter STINKS' on them the year before) written on this was: 'I'm sorry Georgia.' Which changed into: 'HAHA! Like hell I am!'
"That's it!" I muttered under my breath. "Draco's crossed a line!"
"What are you planning on doing to him?" Came Hermy's shocked reply.
"Ah, now that would be telling cuz. But lets just say I'm not a Slytherin for nothing am I?" I turned round and smirked at them all. Behind Hermy came Ron's sheepish remark
"Do you really want to mess with Malfoy? I mean I know you're both in the same house; but I guess I'm just worried that he might threaten all our families and do you really want that on your conscience?"
Aww Ron's so cute when he's worried about me! I thought in my head.
"Ron, Ron. Please calm down everything will be fine – I promise." I smiled at him. "Malfoy will be putty in my hands after I've dealt with him just wait and see!"
"That sounds like a plan!" said Izzy smiling a knowing smile.
"Now then," I continued "lets get Fin onto the boats and then we can grab a carriage and get this year started!"
So with that we headed off to make sure that Fin knew where to go and I told him what would happen when he got up to the school and then we all went to find an empty carriage and there we planned our revenge on Malfoy, Izzy looked like she was enjoying it a bit too much!
