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.

Note: I would like to apologize to all of you out there who have read my story and have waited forever for an update. To let you all know, soccer season is over so now I have free time, and hopefully I'll be able to update more often. No fear, I have not abandoned the story.

Reviewers Everywhere!

I would like to apologize for neglecting you for so long. Due to family stress, school and friend drama, my boyfriend moving away, a car crash, and my computer crashing, I've been particularly preoccupied the past months. I do plan on updating again, as soon as my creativity allows. And now, on to the review responses.

Gryffindor620: I am happy to hear you liked Chapter Six. I hope you enjoy this one.

Lannall86: I am glad you like liked Chapter Six too.

Blackhand The Destroyer: Aren't twists just wonderful? They arrive so easily from such a twisted mind such as mine!

Scorpio-1983: Yes, it seems there are some similarities between those two, coincidence perhaps? Wait and see. And perhaps they'll be friends but time must run its course, right?

Comments Of The Day:

Ditches are not forgiving: Drive slowly in the country! (Ouch! Whiplash!)

No I didn't make it up! That is his real name, stop laughing!

Why do I always pick the ones that move away?? (cries)

Chapter Seven: Perfect Prefects

To say that upon entering the Prefects compartment we got a not so warm welcome was an understatement. Don't think that just because Draco and Blaise were being civil means the rest of the Slytherins followed their example. In fact, the inter-house rivalry was nearing its peak at this point in time. Following the demise of Voldemort that summer by Harry, parents of Slytherin students were thrown in jail left and right. This obviously did nothing to rectify the ever-expanding rift between the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses.

Ah yes, the final battle. The demise of Voldemort at last. Just as the prophecy declared, Harry defeated Voldemort, alone. Ron and I both accompanied Harry to Godric's Hollow, the same place Voldemort set the events in motion all those years ago. Unfortunately, Death Eaters immediately accosted us, so while Harry went on Ron and I held off the Death Eaters. We were both looking rather gruesome and were worn down before long. We had beaten more than half of the Death Eaters when Lucius Malfoy stalked toward us with a fire in his eyes that would scare the devil himself. He was just about to strike with the remaining Death Eaters just behind him when Draco showed up, to save the day as it were. He killed his father and stunned half of the remaining Death Eaters, while the others scattered.

Ron and I were both hurt badly and were unable to go and help Harry. My head was split about two inches above my ear forming a gash five or six inches long. I remember looking over to Draco to thank him and then swaying and falling. The last thing I remember before waking up in the hospital three weeks later was Ron and Draco's faces hovering above mine with concerned looks on their faces.

When I woke up I was informed about the rest of the nights events, though not Harry's fight with Voldemort. The only one Harry's talked to about that was Dumbledore. I heard then how many were dead, on both sides, and the damage that was done. I also heard that day how Narcissa Malfoy was thrown in Azkaban for life because of her association with Voldemort's League.

So when the four of us walked into the compartment there was a mixed reaction. People either avoided making eye contact with Harry, or you had Pansy, who immediately tried to start something with us but stopped herself as McGonagall followed us in.

"Right now, everyone get settled," said McGonagall as she closed the doors to the compartment. I trust you have all met our new student by now, but those of you who have not," she stated, glancing pointedly at Pansy, "I would like you to meet Danny Fulton, who is a transfer student from, well it's rather complicated. He is in Slytherin House and will be an honorary prefect."

I noticed Pansy looking him over so I edged in front of him slightly, smirking at her slightly. Danny looked down at me confused so I motioned form him to bend down so I could whisper something to him. "Pansy is trouble, I'd stay away," I whispered.

Danny nodded, "I had planned on it," he said grinning at me. Then McGonagall turned her attention to us.

"I believe you are already acquainted with Mr. Fulton, correct Miss Granger?" asked McGonagall.

"Yes, I am." I replied to her with a smile.

"Good, then Miss Granger you will have no trouble helping Mr. Fulton with anything he needs here this year," She said to me. Then she turned to Danny, "Miss Granger is at your disposal, she is at the top of her year and is a responsible student, I believe with her help you will fit in here quite nicely."

"I have no doubt Professor," replied Danny with a smile. "She has always been more than helpful in the past," he said wrapping an arm around my shoulder and looking down at me which earned me a glare from Parkinson.

"Well then, I believe that is all I had to tell you, you know your duties Prefects, I expect a better year than last, from all of you." She said and then left the room.

"Leave it to McGonagall to choose Granger for a job. She's such a muggle lover, it's no wonder she'd choose her Perfect Prefect for the job." Pansy said with a sneer as she got up to leave.

"I think you're wrong, what was it again? Ah yes, Parkinson's the name. But in any case Mya is my Perfect Prefect for the following year. So it is no concern of yours. I know I'm new here, but perhaps it'd be a good idea to watch what you say. I don't believe your father has the means to protect you anymore, does he?" said Danny. Parkinson simply sneered and headed for the door. "No please allow me, we were just leaving. Have a pleasant ride. After you Mya." Danny said as we left, with Ron And Draco right behind us.

We walked in silence for a minute when Ron couldn't stand it anymore. "Right well, who's up for a game of Exploding Snap then?" Ron asked to break the silence.

"What? You don't want to play ERS?" I inquired with a grin.

"No!" the three boys yelled in unison.

"You can take on Voldemort but not a simple card game, geeze." I said and we all laughed back to the compartment and played what Ron liked to refer to as "civilized games" for the remainder of the ride. And what a fun ride it was.

I know, I know, finally an update! But read above for my apology. You know what makes me happy? Reviews of course! They encourage the ego penguins to write more, but like before, don't worry, updates aren't dependant upon reviews. Just my own crazy schedule! Until next time- ciao!
