Friendship First

Harry, Ron and Ginny all sat there on the damp grass near the lake talking amongst themselves about what had happened to them over the summer. Ron and Harry were now in their seventh year along with Hermione and Neville, who was now classed as one of their 'close friends'. They were all starring at the figure in front of them who was frantically pacing backwards and forwards on the grass, leaving a trail of mud behind her.

Ginny turned to face Hermione,

"Oh, come off it Hermione. Why can't you just accept Draco as being our friend now? He helped use concer Lord Voldermort, without him we might not have succeeded!Everyone else has excepted him, even Neville!" Hermione turned to Ginny and frowned.

"I can't come off it." She snarled, "Because unlike the rest of you I still remember what an evil, vicious, little bas…"

"Okay Hermione, I think we all got your point. Anyway you'd better get used to him because he coming over right now." Harry said enthusiastically.

"Hi guys." Draco said turning to beam at each one of his new friends with an over the top smirk on his face. "What you all up to?"

No one reply but each of them starred at Hermione. " What?" She shouted, "Will you all stop staring at me?"

But still everone continued to stare at Hermione.

"God!" She screamed "What is it with you guys? Your supposed to be my friends"

Draco's face had developed a evil smirk that he had wore all of the previous 6 years that Harry, Ron and Hermione had known him.

"Not you!" She shrieked and stomped off towards the school.

As she did the smirk slowly dropped off Draco's face and he started to laugh. he had an evil laugh that made you think that he was laughing at you. Ginny looked away her face blushing red. She remembered a time when Draco had used that evil laugh at her.
