Disclaimer: I don't own any of the character and stuff from Harry Potter. I just bend them to my will. Mwahahahahahaha. (Ok that was a pathetic evil laugh)
"Argh I'm bored," Ron cried to the group making Elana jump at the sudden out burst issued from the red head sat opposite her.
"Read a book then." Hermione suggested looking up from her own.
"Erm no," Ron replied, "these are the last few hours of freedom that I get do you seriously think I'm going to waste them reading?" He asked her.
"So you not wasting your time now?" She retorted looking slightly hurt and angry.
"Erm no. I'm enjoying my last few hours of freedom from books and stuff"
"I thought you said you were bored," Hermione said a triumphant smile flitted across her face. She had won, she knew she had.
"Err, umm, that's not the point. The point is-"
"The point is Weasley," The heard a familiar drawl from the door of their compartment. Each of them looked around to face it and there stood Draco Malfoy flanked as usual by Crabbe and Goyle, both of who seemed to have grown considerably over the summer. "That you are still as much as a trap as ever. I see that your parents still can't afford anything decent" He finished a smirk on his pale face.
"At least my fathers not in Azkaban, like the scum that he is." Ron retorted his ears turning red. He looked ready to punch Malfoy but Hermione held him back.
"Yes but as I've said before, he won't be in there for long. The Dementors have left, remember? There's nothing to keep any of them in there."
"That's funny if that's true why aren't they out already then?" Harry asked.
"You'd best watch your back Potter. I mean that."
"Oooo I'm scared. What are you-?"
"Well I suggest that you get out" Came a voice from next to Harry cutting him off.
Malfoy jumped and looked at her, having obviously not noticed her before.
"Ah and who's this we have here?" he said stepping forward slightly approaching her and looking her up and down.
"I'm Elana, that's all you need to know."
"Well Elana, I suggest that you leave young Pot Head here and come with us. We know who the better people are." He extended a hand for her to shake.
She reached out her hand as if she meant to take his in the hand shake, then took it away putting it instead around Harry's shoulder. She looked at Harry Ron and Hermione and then back to Malfoy. "I think I already found the better people thanks." She said before waving and adding "You can go now."
Malfoy looked madder than ever. "This is not the last you'll hear of this." He told her before turning on his heel and leaving the compartment.
Harry, Ron and Hermione all broke into applause as Malfoy stalked away.
"That was amazing Elana." Harry told her.
"It was," agreed Ron nodding.
"I'm just a little worried about what Malfoy might do though," Said Hermione looking slightly worried.
"Come on Mione it's not like Malfoy's ever really done anything that bad to us." Said Ron trying to reassure her.
"I suppose" She said though she still looked worried.
"You suppose what?" Asked Ginny as she entered their compartment and slumped down on Harry's other side.
"Oh, Malfoy just threatened Elana. You know same old same old." Said Harry handing her a pumpkin pasty.
"Ooooo your first Malfoy threat. It's always the best." Ginny smiled. "It's like an initiation into Hogwarts. He probably threatened us lot more than anyone else in Hogwarts though, well these three-" she indicated Harry Ron and Hermione. "More than me but that's not the point. After a while it becomes a fun distraction in your otherwise boring day." She finished sounding a lot like Fred and George.
"Oh and if he starts on you just call him a ferret that'll shut him up." Ron told her before cracking up obviously remembering something extremely funny.
Harry, Hermione and Ginny joined in. Elana just sat there looking confused.
"Err what-?"
"Oh yes, in our fourth year Malfoy was transfigured into a ferret by our defence against the dark arts teacher, well someone pretending to be him, but that's not the point. The point is that that experience thourghly embarrassed Malfoy and he doesn't like being reminded of it." Hermione told her over the other threes laughing.
Elana joined in with them as she imagined a sleek blonde ferret. But there was something else running through her head.
Malfoy.
She had heard that name before but where?
"So Gin how's prefect duty?" Harry's voice crashed into her train of thought.
"Oh ok I suppose. I mean I would much rather be sat doing nothing, rather than walking up and down, and up and down all day. You two never told me how boring it was." She said turning to Ron and Hermione. Both of them had only done one patrol during the whole of the journey, opting instead to sit with Harry and Elana.
"Oh come on Ginny it's not that hard. Plus you get loads of perks when you're at school and stuff." Ron said through a mouthful of chocolate frog.
"Hello again everyone." Came a voice from the doorway of the compartment. Luna had come back to join them accompanied by Neville. Both of them had been sitting in the compartment before Malfoy had turned up but Luna wanted to go and check something with someone or other and Nneville had gone with her.
"Hi" Came a chorus from inside the compartment.
"What have we missed since we left?" She asked, "Anything interesting happened?"
"Oh only a visit from Malfoy, but that's not exactly new is it?" Harry informed her.
"Well I'd best go." Ginny said somewhat grudgingly leaving her seat. "I'd best go and see Dean" She said with a less than happy look on her face.
"Gin if your not happy with him then why don't you end it?" Hermione asked watching her closely.
"It's not that. I doesn't matter." She said. Hermione still looked un convinced.
"See you later." She said to the group, leaving the compartment and shutting the door behind her.
"So Ron what was the point?" Hermione asked turning to face the red head in question.
"Erm- I." Ron went red and Hermione merely laughed.
A/N: Ok so I might carry on for a bit only because I have bits written and I don't want to waste those bits.
So, what are you waiting for? Review. You know you want to.
