Chapter 12

Rilie woke up early and went back down to Ginny's room not wanting Mrs. Weasley to find her in bed with Harry. Harry woke up with her but quickly fell asleep again once she had left. Mrs. Weasley came around to the rooms getting everyone up and of course everyone was up early. The girl's were all getting ready and had the rest of their things downstairs. Harry and Ron took their things down after changing and then had some breakfast. After an hour they left and arrived early to King's cross. They got on the train after saying good-bye to Mrs. Wealsey. They got a large compartment and put their things away.
Finally the train began to move and Hermione, Ron, Rilie, and Ginny made their way to the Prefects compartment. Hermione peaked inside for a moment to see who were the Prefects this year. As Rilie took her seat Hermioine noticed Malfoy sitting in the corner. He looked different some how. His face was paler than usual and when he saw Hermione he didn't say anything, he just looked away. It seemed to Hermione that something had happened to him, something horrible. The meeting was long and boring and Rilie was fed up with the Malfoy who she knew through her mother.
Draco's mother was her mother's best friend and for a while Rilie was set to marry Draco but her father refused and Rilie was happier for it. Draco caught up with Rilie as they left. Ron and Ginny had gone out before Rilie, only because she told them to though." What do you want Draco?" Rilie asked coldly.
" Rilie don't be like that,"Draco said. "How am I supposed to be after what you did to me," Rilie said. "Don't bring that up," Draco said," Look, I'm really sorry about your sister. I heard what happened last night,"
"Draco Malfoy you're lying. That or you want something," Rilie said.
"No, I just. Well, um, I know how you must feel," Draco said. "And how would you know that?" Rilie asked impatiently. She was suddenly furious with him. "Because my father killed my mother this summer and I know what it feels like to lose the one person you love," Draco said.
"Draco, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I haven't been home..."Rilie started.
"Don't be sorry. If you want to talk just know you can talk to me," Draco said." Oh I noticed you with Harry earlier. Is there any way you could ask him to talk to me? I know he hates me but tell him it's important." "I'll do that," Rilie assured him. "And Rilie I'm really sorry for what I did to you," Draco said.
Hermione came around the corner and saw Rilie and Draco saying good- bye. She expected Draco to say something but he just walked away without looking at her. "Rilie you don't want to be talking to Malfoy he is the foulest thing on the planet and Harry's worst enemy," Hermione said.
Rilie listened as Hermioine went on and on about Draco. Back in the compartment everyone was talking and making a lot of noise. Ginny was sitting next to Harry at the moment so she took a seat on the other side of the compartment. It wasn't long before Harry came over to sit by her though. "So, Ron tells me the sixth year Prefects get their own living area," Harry said. "Yeah," Rilie said.
The trip didn't seem to last long although Rilie did fall asleep leaning against Harry shoulder. No body talked much after she fell asleep. Hermione read, Ginny glared, and Ron had bought a ton of food and was quite content to eat in silence. Harry eventually fell asleep as well. Harry and Rilie woke as the train slowed, and were some of the first to get off of the train. Harry was all smiles and Rilie couldn't help but smile along with him. Many girls were talking as they went by and many glared at her as Ginny had done so many times.
Harry saw Hagrid with his great lantern and waved.
"Hello, Harry. It's good to see you," Hagrid said. "It's good to see you too Hagrid," Harry said," Well we'd better go, Bye."

As they walked Harry slipped his hand inside Rilie's and squeezed it tight. She smiled up at him and when at last they were about to enter the Great Hall Rilie heard someone call her name. It was professor McGonagal.
"Rilie I must speak with you. Harry you can go into the feast," She said and led Rilie away. Once inside the professors office Rilie sat and looked at the floor." Ms. Lupin as you know you have been put into Gryffindor house and you have chosen classes for this year. I look forward to having you in my class and I know other teachers do to. Where at all possible we have put you in the same class with Harry," Professor McGonagal explained. "Thank you Proffesor," Rilie said finally looking up.
"I know it is not my business but are you and Harry together. As in a couple?" Proffesor McGonagal asked sounding like a nosy teenager.
Rilie laughed at her but nodded. She finally left with Professor McGonagal to go to the Prefect dormitories. As soon as she entered McGonagal conjured a plate of food for her," The feast is almost over and you need not worry about the first years. You've had a long day no doubt. Eat up and sleep well."
