Anyways read review, you know the whole jazz. btw- the characters Josh Williams, Vance Wilson, Shiloh Wilson, Skylar Summers, and probably any others you don't recognize don't belong to me either, they're character made by some friends of mine for our RPG~~

At the Malfoy Manor, it was calm and peaceful. A few house elves scuttled around quietly gathering master Draco's things and placing them properly in his trunk, careful not to mess anything up thus angering him. They knew the shadow was there. She had always been there, watching everything but hidden so well she looked only as a shadow. Draco had seen her once or twice but brushed it off as an illusion. She was there all the same however. Living in the Manor their whole lives but hidden so perfectly only the house elves who served the Malfoy's knew about her besides her parents, Lucius and Narcissa. They allowed Krystal to wander around the manor but she could not be seen by anyone which was fine with her. She disliked being stuck in her room, the one that she quietly stalked back up to, but it left little to lose things in as Draco constantly did in his own. When she got up to it she placed her thick black and green crushed velvet cloak over her shoulders and clasped together the silver snakes, hooking it so that they twisted together and an M placed where the bodies met. Her favorite house elf rapped quietly on the door and peeked inside. "You may take it down, Trion. You don't need to worry," the little elf was told as she bowed and used her magic to take the trunk downstairs and put it into a corner before going to let Master Lucius know that Krystal was ready and that they should probably leave before Draco was ready as well.

The Burrow was madness as trunks and clothes and numerous other things and people were running around it trying to gather all their things. They had all somehow managed to sleep in and forgotten to pack the night before. A few Ministry cars waited outside loading their trunks as they got passed up. It made it just slightly more difficult with the Twin's shop items lying around the house as well, grab your wand and it turns into a rubber chicken, reach for a book you think is yours and it starts barking, once Ginny even grabbed a Headless Hat and ate a Penguin Pasty at the same time so they had a headless penguin running around in circles squaking with Mrs. Weasley scolding Fred and George as the others tried to catch Ginny.
Not too much later they were all straightened out, Ginny was now a human again and had her head back, all wands had been found and proper books located and they were on their way to Platform 9 3/4. The twins went with the four who were heading back to Hogwarts and also accompanied by Mrs. Weasley. Crookshanks and the two owls were properly restrained after learning their lesson the last time.

At King's Cross Harry was looking around for that girl they had seen at Diagon Alley and nearly ran over a muggle woman with his cart. Appologizing quickly as they reached the platform he could have sworn he saw a quick flash of the platinum blonde waves but it was gone before he was positive. Shaking all thoughts out of his head he ran to catch up to the others who were at the platform, Hermione and Ginny already heading through with Fred. George followed after with Ron, and Harry went with Mrs. Weasley.

"Watch where you're going, Potter!" was the first thing Harry heard as he stepped through. Looking up to see the face of none other than Draco Malfoy. He was at least a foot away from Malfoy but of course he just loved causing trouble so it didn't matter. Mrs. Weasley apologized before Harry could say anything and steered him off towards where the others were loading their trunks. "Thanks," he muttered to her as she gave him a quick hug and helped him put his trunk onto the train as the whistle blew. The doors were shut and students were hanging out the windows waving goodbye as the train left the station, bound for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Wandering through the carts to find an empty one they came upon one that had a blonde Slytherin that Hermione scowled at, recognizing her as Skylar Summers. The other girl was the one Harry had searched for. The one known as Skylar looked up and frowned, "What do you want, Granger? Dragging Weasley and Potter along on a little joy ride?" "As if it's any of your business," Hermoine huffed and crossed her arms, turning away. "Relax, Sky. They're allowed to roam, no rule that says they aren't. If there are then Draco's been breaking them far too often," the other girl said smiling as she rested a hand on Skylar's shoulders who started laughing. As did the other two girls and two boys in the cart. One recognized as Lavender Brown from Gryffindor. "Lavender? What are you doing in here?" Ron asked, his mouth wide open in shock. She smiled at him, "I'm sitting with some of my friends. This is Josh Williams, Ravenclaw 7th year, Vance Wilson, the same, Krystal Malfoy, Slytherin 6th year, you already know Sky apparently." As she went through the names pointing first to a dirty blonde haired boy with green eyes, then to a spiky black haired boy with hazel eyes sitting next to the one known as Krystal, the platinum blonde hair falling down her shoulders and silver-green eyes sparkling, then to Skylar, blonde as well with blue eyes. Ron walked in, somewhat transfixed by the two Slytherin girls, "I'm Won Reasley--I mean Ron Weasley. And this is Garry Hotter and Permione Hranger..." Harry rolled his eyes, "Actually it's Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger." The two smirked at each other and Krys stood up, pretending to be in awe, "You mean THE Harry Potter? The one who defeated you-know-who? Who saved all of Wizarding Kind? Oh my, catch me Sky I might just faint from the excitement of it all!" and she did a mocking faint right onto Sky and Vance's laps who were laughing so hard they all nearly fell out of their seats. She soon stood back up and brushed her hair out of her eyes before saying, "Do forgive me Mr. Potter for not worshipping you like the rest of your fan-club but it really doesn't matter to me and I also don't exactly care for fame and the fame of a simpleton's scar. I have several scars but you don't see me making the front page of the Daily Prophet because of them. Now if you'll excuse me I do believe that we should be changing into our robes right about now and you're standing in front of my trunk." Harry, Ron, and Hermione seemed shocked at the speech made by the apparently unknown Malfoy, the last name not really making it's way into their brains to be processed had, as some would say, gone in one ear and out the other. He apologized and the other two joined him in moving out the door to contemplate things.
