The next few days went by fast I was getting ready for school. Finally it was the say to catch the train.

"Alright Cat its platform 9 ¾. You go between 9 and 10." I smiled at my father and said

"Alright, I'll see you all at either at Christmas or at the end of the year."

"Don't forget to write." Mary said smiling. "You have to tell me what it is like because I will be there next year."

I smiled back at her. "Don't worry I will write."

I gave them all hugs and walked to the train followed by my father who was going to make sure I got on the train.

When I got on the train I found an empty booth and walk in and sat down pulling out my CD player and putting in my favorite CD. The train started to leave the station. I sighed lightly and looked out the window.

"Hey Cat!" I heard from behind me.

I turned around to see Ron, Harry, and Hermione, I took my headphones off my ears and smiled.

"Hello guys, how have you been?"

"Fine how about you?" Hermione said.

"I'm fine. Would you like to sit down?" I said moving over.

They came in and sat down, Ron next to me, Hermione across and Harry next to her.

"Did they tell you what house you're in?" Ron asked.

"No they said I would be sorted before the first years."

"We all are Gryffindors. Ron and I are Prefect." Hermione said.

"Now why would you want to be a Gryffindor, let alone sit with these Mud-blood lovers?" A voice said from the door.

"Go away Malfoy." Ron said.

I looked at the door and giggled.

He looked at me and said, "Miss O'Callaghan what is so funny?"

I shook my head trying to hide my laugh.

Flashback

"You know that Draco kid we where with?" Jess said while I was getting all my stuff together to go to Hogwarts.

"Yes, I really didn't like when he kissed my hand." I said placing my broom in my trunk.

"Well doesn't he remind you a little of a ferret?" She said with a laugh.

"A ferret?" The way she said it made me laugh.

"Yes a pretty little white ferret."

We both started laughing at that time.

End Flashback

I calmed myself down from laughing and said, "You're not mad about me beating you while horseback riding are you?" I said glancing at him.

"You like to horseback ride?" Ron said looking at me.

"You wouldn't know a horse if someone gave it to you Weasly."

"Ah, on the contrary!" I said with a sly smile. "We where all just talking about coming to horseback ride over winter break and Ron had just joined us so he didn't know I ride horses. Isn't that right Ron?" I said glancing at him.

"It is." He said looking at me.

Draco looked at me oddly. "You sound much like a Slytherin." He said flashing me his smile. "Well Ms. O'Callaghan I should be getting back to my car. If you would like to talk to some real people I'll be in car 5." He closed the door behind him.

I shook my head and muttered "Ferret." I started to giggle again. I looked at them. "You would like to know why I am laughing wouldn't you."

"Yes we would no one does that or has that we have seen laughs at Malfoy." Hermione said looking at me.

So I sat there and told them the story of Jess and how she said he looked like a ferret. They looked a little shocked when I was done but they where laughing.

"He was turned in to a ferret last year." Ron said.

"Well I guess I'll have to tell Jess next time I see her. Where can I go to get changed? I was told to change in to my old robes and I would ware my new ones when I got sorted."

"I'll show you." Ron said. "I need to change mine anyway."

I picked up my old robes and followed him to get changed. I walk in to a separate room them him and changed in to my old robes. They were dark green made the same way as the Hogwarts robes. My uniform was very similar except underneath I wore a white collared shirt and a grey skirt. I walked out of the bathroom and Ron was waiting for me.

"Your uniform is very different then ours." He said looking at my uniform.

I nodded when I did the train gave a jolt. I fell down on him and we both went to the ground.

"I'm sorry." I said looking at him. I stood up and helped him up. I felt pain coming from my arm. I leaned back against the wall and said. "Go get Hermione and say 'red' she'll know what you mean."

"Cat what's wrong?"

"Please don't ask question just please go and tell her."

He took off back to the car. Hermione and he returned a few minutes later. Ron tried to stay but Hermione pushed him out of the car and pulled the shade down and handed me my bag.

"Thanks Hermione." I said opening it.

"No problem. Your lucky I was here you would have had to tell someone else."

I nodded. "It's going to happen again."

"I know. Just be careful around here people come to conclusions fast."

"Don'tworryifI have kept it a secret before I can do it again." I said sporting a smile to her even though she knew it was fake.

We both stood up when I was done and headed back to the car.

Ron and Harry looked at me worryingly.

"Don't worry I'm fine." I said holding up my hands in defense.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"It was sort of like a fainting spell."

Right after I said that the train came to a slow stop. We all looked at each other.

"We can't be there yet." Hermione said looking out the window.

"Dejavu." Ron said looking at Hermione and Harry.

I blinked and looked at Hermione. I swallowed hard.

'No no no!' I thought to myself as it got cold. I pulled my robes around me to keep warm.The pain in my arm got worse. No sooner to when I had do this the door started to open. I quickly placed my hand in my robes and felt around for my wand. The door opened and a Dementor was standing there. I jumped up at the same time as Harry.

"Expecto Patronum!" A Phoenix came out at the same time a stag came out of his. The Dementor quickly disappeared. We both fell backwards into are seats after that. I dug threw my bag and found my chocolate and handed him a piece.

"Here eat this it will make you feel better." I said taking a bite out of my piece.

Ron and Harry looked at me.

"Where did you learn that?" Harry said looking at me.

I smiled at him, "Professor R.J. Lupin, my second year." I said placing my wand back in my pocket.
