Chapter Two: "Here You Are Again"

+---------------+

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you After all
You're still you

--Josh Groban's "You're Still You"

Getting to the Platform 9 ¾ was not an easy task. I had to push my way through the sea of people. My owl, Pop, sure didn't make that easy for me. When I thought that getting on the train would give me some rest, I had to deal with more problems.

"Hey there filthy girl." I heard a voice from behind.

That made me really mad. When I turned around I found myself in front of this older looking guy. He was big and scary looking. From the expressions on his face I could tell that he didn't like me very much.

"What is your problem? I got a name you know!" I replied with anger.

"You know what I mean. Our Lord is back to power and we'll get rid of your kind once and for all. And your stupid Aurors parents are coming down also." At that point steams were coming out of my ears.

I was a no girly girl. With all my might I punched the idiot in his nose. He felt onto the small traveling aisle hallway of the train. All the students were in their own components so no one saw that has happened.

"YOU BITCH!" He screamed with rage. I could tell that he didn't really like me that much right about then.

When he got back on his feet, I saw that his nose was bleeding. Before I knew it, he shoved me against my component's door. My head took a hard knock. Didn't wait to see what he'd do next, I just kept kicking and hitting. For a second there I thought they actually worked, but see that he had a stronger part, he soon gained back his strength. Lastly, having enough of me he launched his big arm toward my neck.

"YOU STUPID GIRL! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!" I thought he was going to hit me, but instead he started pulling off my cloak. I was so frighten that I started screaming.

As he was going to rip off my shirt, I found myself released. I later found my attacker being beaten by another person. The savior was on top hitting the guy none stop. I would of enjoy watching that scene if I wasn't scare that we would get in trouble.

"Stop! That's though! Please stop it! DRACO! STOP! NOW!" I tried pulling the blonde boy up.

His anger was surly speaking through his fists. The dreadful boy finally kicked Draco off of him.

"What the hell Draco? I was just having some fun!"

He gave the boy one hard knock and replied, "Fun?! I didn't find that fun at all! Taking advantage of a helpless girl.

"Helpless? I wasn't helpless!" I wasn't helpless. I was fine. I didn't need his help at all. Thank you very much.

He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Are you protecting this bitch---?" There was a thumping noise, and then there was a boy lying unconscious on the ground.

"Aar! Draco! Now look what you have done!" I spoke in astonish.

Mr. Malfoy turned around toward me and gave me this 'I saved you and now you're yelling at me' sort of look.

"You're welcome." He replied. That was all he had to say to me. On his toes, he went on his way.

I wanted to tell his how appreciated I was of what he did. I really did. But my feet didn't seem to help me with that.

Soon subsequently, my talkative friends found me.

"Cho! There you are. We been looking everywhere for you. You won't believe what we saw. We saw that Slytherin girl, Pansy Parkinson, all over this guy and they were---" Finally, taking their precious time to stop talking and notice the down for the count body on the ground.

"Who's that?" One of them asked.

"No idea." I replied.

"How come you look all mess up" Tieara asked.

"I do? Really? I have no idea." I said with sarcastic in my voice.

"Oh, alright. So, anyway, as were we saying. Pansy and this boy of hers were all making out like crazy. They looked like a dog that had just found a big bowl of bacon. He didn't really look like he was in the mood for snogging time, but she didn't seem to be giving him a choice. He was....*blah*..*blah*" I swear these people would still be talking even if they found out the Earth was on fire.

They pushed me into the component and continue with their story of Pansy and her so called boyfriend.who ever he is. All I really care about was to find a way to tell Draco how much grateful I was of him. But some what my best friend's stare was getting to me. Ariel has been giving me this glare since the beginning. She knew there was more to the unconscious boy's story. She knew there was more to why I was looking untidy's story.

Before I could continue with my thoughts, the train took a hard bump. Suddenly, all the lights on the Hogwarts Express went out.
