After what seemed like an age of Ron and Tim chatting as though they had been friends all their life and Harry looking blank and eating chocolate frogs, Tim got up and announced that he had to go to the toilet and would be back soon then winked at Hermione and walked out. There was a small popping noise outside the door but none of the three inside heard it.

'Thank god he's gone!' Sighed Hermione taking her head out of the book she had been reading all the time Tim had been in the room, 'He gives me the creeps!'

'I think he's really cool' announced Ron tucking into one of Harry's many chocolate frogs 'we got on really well, I hope he's sorted into Griffindor!'

'Well I don't!!!' Cried Hermione, 'he's really slimy and I don't want you to be friends with him anymore.'

'Hermione sit' said Ron.

'Have a chocolate frog, they jump' said Harry, both Ron and Hermione stared at him, Hermione reluctantly sat down.

'Look if it really bothers you that much, I won't be so friendly with him' said Ron looking Hermione in the eye 'but I can't freeze the guy out, he hasn't done anything wrong. Anyhow lets not fall out over it, we're really at Hogwarts we should get changed.'

They got changed into their Hogwarts robes and got ready to leave the train and travel up to school.

"I know Ron likes that guy, but there's something about him that, that, oh I don't know! Something that feels wrong. I really hope he stays away from me when we get to Hogwarts!"

'Malfoy' bellowed a voice, 'MALFOY!'

'Yes, yes master' came a quivering voice.

'People are recognising me Malfoy, I need you to provide a' here the voice stopped it seemed its owner was thinking about something, 'I need you to provide a distraction, you know the people who might recognise me and also could you alter my appearance slightly, ONLY slightly as I have already made contact with the subject' the person then let out a harsh laugh. 'I wish to maintain my youthful looks Malfoy, DO YOU HEAR ME!!'

'Yes, yes master, of course' Replied the person named Malfoy.

'Good, I ALWAYS want to remain youthful, youth is the key to eternal life' said the voice smiling. 'Now Malfoy quick, be quick with the potion, I have about' at this point the voice looked at his watch 'about 10 minutes'.

'10 MINUTES!!!'

'Are you arguing with me Malfoy' said the voice coldly.

'No, no master, the potion will be ready in 5, leaving you time to…do whatever you wish… 'Malfoy trailed off.

'Excellent. And the distraction' asked the voice.

'It will be seen to my Lord, all will be in place for when you arrive at Hogwarts'.

'I look forward to it.'

Hermione, Ron and Harry left the Hogwarts train and got on to the horseless carriages that would take them up to school.

'I wonder where Tim is' said Ron 'He said he was only going to the toilet!'

"Wherever he is I hope he stays away from me" Hermione turned to look out of the window.

They arrived at Hogwarts and watched the sorting ceremony still there was no sign of Tim.

"Good! Maybe he's decided to go back wherever he came from!"

Hermione shovelled down the rest of her food and made her way up the stairs to the Griffindor common room with the rest of the Griffindors.

Only when she was tucked up in bed did she feel totally safe…
