Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, places, ideas, etc. that are contained within Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling does. The only thing I can even remotely try to claim ownership of is my part of the plot. So please don't sue me, remember I am a lowly 16 year old girl, I have no money, so you wouldn't be gaining anything. Anything else you recognize from any other place, I don't own that either, sometimes these ideas fly into my head before I realize where it came from. Thank you. I think that covers everything, I hope.

Chapter Six: Riding In Trains With Wands

Danny and I sat in the spacious compartment for about thirty minutes playing various muggle card games like Egyptian Rat Screw also known as ERS, Uno, and Speed. The first person to finally interrupt our very competitive round of ERS was Harry. He walked in just as Danny and I started arguing over the game.

"You need to take off your rings when you play! It's bad enough with your fingernails, but when you slap the cards with your rings you draw blood!" Danny said while nursing his scratched knuckle.

"Fine. I'll take off my rings if you stop hovering over the cards!" I replied.

"I don't hover."

"Yeah you do."

"No I don't."

"Yeah, you do."

"No I don't! Now shush it and play."

"Cheater." I whispered under my breath, but Danny didn't catch it. He slapped down a card and we started playing again.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Harry said from the doorway. Danny laid down a Queen on top of my Queen absentmindedly and looked up.

"Hah!," I said slapping the pile of cards. "Of course not Harry I'm just whipping Danny here in a game of cards." I told him with a smile. Harry was leaning against the door frame holding one handle of his trunk in one hand, smiling.

"Damnit!" exclaimed Danny.

"Love the lip ring Harry." I said getting up and walking over to him to give him a big hug. He dropped his trunk handle and hugged back. It felt nice to hug him then, something familiar in all the change my life has recently gone through. I hugged him a little longer than usual and inhaled deeply, loving the security I felt from him. Apparently Danny had felt left out enough because all of the sudden I felt his long arms wrap around Harry and me in a tight hug as he yelled, "Group Hug!"

After about a minute of this I was feeling very squished and despite my previous pleadings Danny wouldn't let go. Just as I had all but given up I heard Ginny's voice in the hallway. Score! Help is on the way!

"Ginny! Help us please! I'm being squished to death!" I yelled as loud as I could, but it didn't come out too loud seeing as my face was squished.

"Hermione?" Ron's voice said.

"I'm here. Help me, Ginny, Ron, please!" I begged.

"Nah, Group Hug!" Ron yelled as he launched himself on top of us knocking us to the floor, which sent Ginny in a fit of giggles, as well as everyone else. We were in a giant heap on the floor, all tangled up with one another, Ron landing on Danny and Harry and myself landing together. Ron and Danny quickly untangled themselves and stood up, but I was laughing so much I couldn't get up off of Harry. Harry was laying on his back on the floor and I was laying on my stomach on top of him face to face.

"Come on guys get up." Said Danny.

"Can't… get… up. Laughing… too funny… ow!… side hurts." I managed to say through a fit of giggles.

"Ginny," Ron moaned, "Help her please."

"Oh okay." She replied.

"Bad idea." Danny warned.

Ginny walked over to us and tried to pull me up, but I being ticklish everywhere just started cracking up even more, and flailing. Ginny in fear of being hit backed away quickly. I rolled off of Harry finally and rolled around laughing. Harry finally got up and stood over me, along with everyone else. I couldn't stop laughing for the life of me, tears were rolling down my face. I heard more voices in the hallway and enter our compartment. Neville's face appeared next to Ron's. Then Luna's next to Ginny. Lavender and Parvati walked in and settled next to Ron.

"What is going on in here? I heard laughing all the way down the hall!" said Lavender.

"Harry…Group Hug! …Ron jump…fall down…funny…tickled…so funny…can't stop." I tried to explain unsuccessfully. You try to explain something while laughing. It's harder than you think.

"Huh?" said Lavender. I for one wasn't the least bit surprised she didn't get it. If I wasn't myself I wouldn't have understood myself either.

"I'll explain after we get her," at this point he points at me, "under control." Said Ron.

"I'll get her. Come on Mya." Said Danny as he leaned towards my still laughing self.

"It tickles!" I scream as he picks me up and puts me on my feet. I almost collapse as I start to wind down my laughing but Danny keeps me standing up. "Thanks" I manage to stammer out between my rapidly decreasing laughs. I look around and not that everyone is staring at me.

Lavender opened her mouth to speak, "Hermione, what have you-" But she was cut off as two more people came into the room. It was a good thing we picked the biggest compartment. Draco and Blaise walked in, managing to get past Harry, Ron, and Ginny's trunks without major injury with eyebrows raised while taking in the scene before them.

"What are you all gawking at, seriously?" asked Blaise.

"Hey Danny." Said Draco by way of greeting.

Danny opened his mouth to reply but Lavender and Parvati cut him off. "Who's Danny?" they chimed in unison. I was about to explain everything when the train lurched forward and we started off to Hogwarts. Everyone faltered and nearly fell, lucky for them they have balance. I pitched backwards and nearly fell again when two arms grabbed me and steadied me.

"Thanks," I said turning my head to see who caught me, "Blaise."

"Anytime," he replied with a wink. Blaise seemed to be very playful today. Ever since the defeat of Voldemort he seemed to open up a little more. Blaise used to be the sullen, quiet, and contemplative Slytherin. Not one to blatantly throw out insults, though if you angered him he would. I was glad to see he was acting more like a kid.

"Danny, I would like you to meet Lavander, Parvati, Ginny, Ron, Neville, and Blaise. I believe you know everyone else. Everyone, I would like you to meet Danny, my best friend from back home." I said, explaining to Lavender and Parvati who Danny was. The others were smart enough to figure it out already by process of elimination I'm betting. It was then I noticed Danny, Ron, and Harry all glaring at me. No, not me. Blaise. Then it was time for a second realization, Blaise still had his hands on my hips. I was amazed I didn't feel ticklish at the moment. I glanced back at the three of them. Ron of course was the most obvious of them with his ears turning red and hands balled in fists. Harry and Danny hid it better, but I could still feel their glares. Ron and Harry still had a hard time trusting Slytherins. I guess Danny was just acting like an overprotective brother.

"Why don't we all sit down now," said Danny, still glaring at Blaise, who I could still feel behind me. I really don't like being in the middle of this stare down. "Hopefully Mya can keep her balance then," Danny finished, finally diverting his glare at Blaise to a smile at me.

"Good idea," said Harry.

"Yeah Danny, let's finish our game of Egyptian Rat Screw!" I said walking towards our abandoned game and releasing myself from Blaise.

"Or we could not." Said Danny, morosely, looking at his tiny deck of cards.

"Who screwed a rat in Egypt?" asked Ron confusedly.

"No, no Ron, Egyptian Rat Screw, a card game, a muggle card game. Here Danny and I will explain it to you." I said. So everyone sat down, or conjured more seats around our table, and Danny and I explained ERS. Soon everyone was playing.

"Time out! Mya, girls! Take off your rings, they hurt." Said Danny, with all the boys vigorously nodding their heads. They all had small scratches. So did the girls, but we were strong enough not to complain.

"No, besides you're just stalling because I have most of the cards and you don't want to lose." I replied.

"And your point is?"

"Hah!"

"Oh shove it, before you start something you won't like finishing."

"You know how much I don't appreciate idle threats, now don't you."

"Sh-"

"Oh both of you shut up! Bloody hell!" yelled Draco.

"Fine."

"Fine." Five minutes later…

"Damnit al to hell!" yelled Danny as I beat him to the slap finally winning our game.

"You're lucky we didn't bet this time Danny. Remember what happened last time?"

"Yeah." Danny mumbled.

"Cause I think I still have the purple bunny suit..." I said with a smile.

"Shut up."

"Fine, fine. No need to get testy. Who's up for another round?" I ask.

"No!" everyone yelled in unison. I guess they just didn't want to take on the master.

"Excuse me." Came a sever voice from the doorway. We all turned around to see McGonagall standing in the doorway. "But I do believe that Mr.'s Weasley, Malfoy, Fulton, and Miss Granger, have a Prefects meeting they are supposed to be attending." She said giving us pointed looks. "And I believe it would be wise for the rest of you to change into your school robes." And with that she walked off.

Peace bri-alma-libre

To My Reviewers:

Neon:
"Peace bri-alma-libre" is my sign-off. Peace as in tata, goodbye. And bri-alma-libre, which is my penname here at this wonderful website. Hermione's ancestors, or the idea behind them, is mostly my imagination. There is an allusion to 'The Sight' which is a reference to a book series by Garth Nix, (The books are: Sabriel, Lireal, and Abhorsen. Great books.) which I of course own no rights to and inadvertently forgot to write a disclaimer about. It refers to the Clayr, who have the sight. But otherwise it was my idea.

Gryffindor620:

Eventually, yes, Harry and Mya will get together. But not until about Halloween, I'm thinking. Thank you for your review!

Duerre:

Thanks for your review. Cool and weird, well I can handle that, in fact it was what I was shooting for. I love the piercings too! I want some but currently the parental units are ix-nay on the iercings-pay besides the ears. If I were a witch I'd want the sight too.

Justin-4902:

Thanks for the review. I'll try to update regularly.

Scorpio-1983:

Why thank you! Just wait and see what happens next.

Nissy Padfoot:

Thank you very much. Reviews are always nice.

And last but not least----

Miss-Radcliffe:

My multiple reviewer! Don't worry, Mya will cheer up. Thank you for the compliments. I try my best. And as to the plot; yes, very twisted, but then so am I.

To All Of You: (Even the ones who don't review.)

Thank you for reading my fic. I apologize for the writing hiatus as of late. Things have been stressful. But I'll try to update better!

P.S. Could you, would you, please, leave a review? Again, just say hey I read your story. But no fear, updates are not dependant upon reviews, just on my own twisted time schedule! Tata!
