AN: Here I am to save the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, first of all, my extreme apologies go out to you guys for leaving you with only two chapters for, like, three weeks. Secondly, I'll give you my reasons for not updating for so long:

(1) I'm moving, so there are a lot of people coming to look at my house and I have to be out of it for those periods of time, plus the minor detail of packing all my stuff up.

(2) I've been concentrating on other, more popular, stories called Me and Emily and Emily and Amanda. You should read them if you haven't already: Me and Emily is finished, and Emily and Amanda, its sequel, is still a WIP (work-in-progress).

(3) I've been away a lot: from June 27 to July 9, I was at summer camp and then the beach. Then, I was back and forth between my dad's house and mom's house, so it was hard to type the chapters, since I prefer to type them at my mom's house, and my mom's house is really stressful with moving at all that. And, this past weekend I was visiting my grandparents.

So, there you go, I have valid reasons for not updating, but I WILL try to update more frequently throughout the summer. Once school starts, though, (if this story is still a WIP by then), updates will be less frequent, because of school (obviously) and homework and after-school activities.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who reviewed: rocket4477, centaur219, LiLy NiCoLe pOtTeR, avid, kay345, emikae, Maggy A., kate, Emily Malfoy, xXSakkaiXx, Eve Granger, Idiot.On.The.Edge, dreamingmaggie, HPFanatic04, bubblesara, saxistwriterchick, and lil-whitelighter111488!

As the train got farther and farther toward Hogwarts, the sky got darker and darker, illuminated only by the light of the starts and moon. Zillah was really getting tired, as she had gotten up very early that morning to get to the train station on time. Eva, however, was overcoming her tiredness by gabbing away with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Zillah barely heard her, she was lost in her own thoughts about how great it was that she was actually going to Hogwarts. She didn't even notice when Hermione was calling her name.

"Zillah. Zillah. Zillah! Oh for gods sakes, ZILLAH!" yelled Hermione, finally snapping Zillah out of her dreamlike state.

"What?" asked Zillah, turning her head away from the window.

"We'll be at Hogwarts in about 15 minutes, we were just going to change into our robes," said Hermione.

"Oh, good idea," said Zillah, grabbing the robe that Hermione had set aside for her. Only then did she notice that Harry and Ron had already vacated the compartment.

"Um, Hermione, aren't there uniforms that you're supposed to wear under your robes?" asked Eva.

"Well, yes, the girls are supposed to wear skirts and blouses, I didn't think of that . . ." said Hermione, bending over to pull these items out of her trunk as well.

=/=

Five minutes later, all three girls were in Hogwarts uniforms, except for the fact that Zillah and Eva were both fussing with their ties.

"Hermione, how can you do this every day?!" said Eva, exasperated.

"I don't get it any more than you do, Eva," said Zillah, trying valiantly to knot her tie and failing expertly.

"Oh, for heavens sake," said Hermione, doing up Eva's tie and then Zillah's. By then, the train was slowing down.

"You guys should button up your robes, it gets pretty cold here at night," said Hermione, remarking on their open robes exposing their half-bare legs. The skirts only came to their knees, after all. Just when they had finished securing the last clasps, Harry and Ron re-appeared in the compartment.

"You guys look nice, I didn't think Hermione's robes would fit you so well," said Ron.

Zillah blushed, but Eva snapped back, "Ron, don't even think about trying anything, I already have a boyfriend back home." Ron seemed rather surprised.

"Ron, come on, we have to go to the front of the train to lead the first years out," said Hermione, practically dragging him out of the compartment.

"I see Ron has learned a bit more flattery since fourth year," said Zillah.

"Yeah, he's just practicing on you guys, though. He's got his eye on someone else, and he wants to see if his 'technique' works on other girls so he can try it on Hermione," said Harry, then instantly covered his mouth. "Dammit, I should NOT have said that . . ." he said angrily. Zillah and Eva just gave each other a knowing glance.

"Harry, have you forgotten so quickly that we already know all about what has happened with you, Hermione, and Ron for the past five years? We could easily tell from context clues that Ron and Hermione are going to be together," said Eva knowingly.

"Oh. Well, now I don't feel as bad," said Harry with a small smile. Zillah glanced at Eva and smirked. Eva nodded.

"Um, Harry, there is something that the books don't tell us, and something that every Harry Potter fan bickers about, and we are DYING to know for sure what the answer is," started Zillah.

"Okay . . ." said Harry.

"Well, we were just wondering if there is a sort of, well, love triangle thing with the trio," continued Zillah.

"Like, Ron likes Hermione, but you like her too," clarified Eva.

"What?" said Harry. "Where would you get an idea like that? Hermione's my best friend and nothing more, so you can get the muggle world straight," said Harry. Zillah and Eva could tell he was being truthful.

"Okay then. That's a good thing. But it's such a shame, all those poor Harry-Hermione shippers out there on fanfiction dot net. . . did you know that there are more Harry-Hermione parings than Ron and Hermione or even Draco and Hermione?" said Zillah to Eva.

"No, wow! You'd think people would be a bit smarter . . ." said Eva.

"Did you say 'Draco-Hermione' pairing? And what is 'fanfiction dot net'?" asked Harry. The train came to a screeching halt just then, however, so Zillah and Eva couldn't answer his questions.

"We'll tell you later, when Ron and Hermione aren't within hearing distance," said Eva, as she exited the compartment, followed by Zillah. They weren't even halfway towards the end of that car, however, when they were confronted with none other than Draco Malfoy.

Oh great, the part I was most looking forward to by coming into the HP series: Draco Malfoy in person, thought Zillah sarcastically.

"Oh look! It's Dumbledore's pet, Potter! And it looks like he's got two more little mudblood friends, too!" said Draco with fake joy. Harry showed signs of retorting, but Zillah beat him to it.

"Move it ferret boy, or you won't be sitting down for a month," she said angrily. Eva knew that you should never test Zillah's temper, she was set off very easily.

"Oh really? And what is a stupid little mudblood like you going to do to a pureblood like me?" said Draco.

That's going to do it, thought Eva.

She was right – Zillah snapped.

"You insolent bastard!" said Zillah, and before he could react to that, she punched him square on the jaw. He stumbled and fell over, now sporting a bloody lip.

"Harry, give me your wand," said Zillah.

"Zill, I – I don't think . . ." started Harry.

"Harry, don't play games, give me your wand," demanded Zillah. When Harry hesitated, she reached into his robes and got it out for him. Just in time. When she turned around, Draco was standing about six feet from her, his wand at that ready.

"Iverte Statura!" he yelled, and as the jet of white light came towards her Zillah took Harry's wand and immediately reacted.

"Protego!" she shouted, drawing her wand downwards and deflecting the spell back towards Draco, who promptly jumped out of the way. The spell hit a window instead, shattering it. Once the shield faded, she pointed her wand directly at Draco, breathing hard.

"Never, ever call me a mudblood, Malfoy," said Zillah, her wand remaining at Draco's chest. For once, she detected fear in his eyes. He abruptly turned around and headed for the exit of the car.

"Way to go, Zillah!" said Eva, applauding.

"Zillah, do you have ANY idea how much trouble you could get into for that? You could be suspended!" said Harry.

"Harry, since when do you care about breaking rules?" said Zillah, starting to walk out of the train.

"I'm just saying, you're a brand new student here and you're already getting into trouble! I wasn't always so carefree with punishments! I thought I would be expelled after my first two weeks here!" said Harry, stalking after Zillah with Eva close behind him.

"I know Harry, will you stop your ranting? I just gave Malfoy what he deserved for once without the interruption of a bloody teacher!" said Zillah. They were approaching the carriages, and once they got there, the three of them found Hermione and Ron saving a carriage for them.

"Where were you guys?" said Hermione, once Harry, Zillah, and Eva were in the carriage with Ron and Hermione and they were rolling up to Hogwarts.

"Yeah, we thought you had disappeared or something," said Ron.

"Well, all I can say is that you would've loved it, Ron," said Harry.

"What happened?" asked Hermione, although it was more of a command rather than a question.

"Um, well, we met Malfoy on the way out of the train, and I, well, um . . ." stuttered Zillah.

"She punched him and dueled with him," supplied Eva.

"You WHAT?!" said Hermione, at the same time that Ron said "Way to go Zillah!" and applauded.

"If Dumbledore finds out about that, you're dead!" said Hermione. "I cannot believe you would do that, Zillah, I just can't believe it!"

"Why? You did the same thing in third year," said Eva.

"Firstly, I didn't punch Malfoy, I slapped him, and I simply threatened him with my wand, I didn't actually use it," said Hermione.

"Oh, I keep forgetting that they changed so much in the third movie," said Eva.

"Movie? What movie?" said Harry.

"Oh, yeah, we forgot to tell you, movies are in the process of being made about the HP series. They've made three so far, and in the third one, Hermione punches Malfoy instead of slapping him," said Zillah. "And plus, the only reason I used Harry's wand was self defense! He sent a spell at me and I used the Protego spell to deflect it!"

"Still, you shouldn't have punched him in the first place," said Hermione.

"He called me a mudblood Hermione, and I didn't have Ron there to defend me like YOU did the first time he called YOU a mudblood, so I had to defend myself," said Zillah.

"Well, Zill, if I had been there, you can be sure I'd have sent a curse straight at Malfoy. No one insults my friends without paying for it," he said with a smile.

"Thanks Ron, that's nice to know," said Zillah. The carriage stopped then, and they all got out of it, Zillah and Eva now with jellyfish in their stomachs.
