(Chapter 2(

Trinity patted the seat next to her and smiled. "C'mon handsome, it down!"

Fred grinned sheepishly and sat down next to her. "Uh . thank you.

Fred helped the girls off of the train. "I suppose that you are going to have to take the boats across the lake with all the other 1st years. But I will see you in again, in there! I'm in Gryffindor with all the rest of my family! Well I've got to go now or I'll miss my ride up to the castle! Bye!" Fred jumped into the last of the horseless carriages, unfortunately there was a, well, rather disagreeable person in this one. To be specific, the person was Draco Malfoy (strangely without his two cronies Crabbe and Goyle).

Fred was goingt ot get back out again when suddenly Draco had turned over a new leaf! "Oh, come on Weasley get in we don't want you to have to swim or walk all the way to the castle!"

Fred stared at Draco "Wha-what did you just say Malfoy?" he asked incredulously.

"I said, get in Weasley we don't want to have you swimming or walking all the way to the castle! So get in, sit down and please stop asking any questions! Oh, and my name isn't Malfoy . anymore that is . " Draco looked out of the window sad and wistful.

Fred got in and sat down, but did not shutup or stop asking questions. "What do you mean your not a Malfoy anymore?"

Draco looked at Fred almost angrily and glared mumbleing something about disownment. Fred started when he heard the word. Draco? Disowned? But his father practicaly adored him! What was going on? "I-I'm sorry Ma-" he paused "I mean Draco. I'm sorry."

"Oh, well you didn't know so I don't blame you for asking. I just wish I could get away from my old life completely!so I wouldn't have to be remined of it!" Draco sighed and looked at his feet.

It now seemed like a long way to hogwarts and Fred felt quite bloody awkward siting here next to an enemy who wasn't as mean as he had thought!

Fred got out of the carriage as fast as possible and then went straight into the entrance. He saw all of the 1st years and exchange students crowded into a room across from the hall. He spotted Trinity and waved. She waved back and shot him a smile and a wink. He thought he felt his stomach start to play quiditch and get hit off course by a bludger! He quickly hurried into the Hall and on down to the Gryffindor table where he felt much better! And started to laugh and joke with Ron and George, because his little fancy was in another house! Thank god! Unfortuneatly he kept blowing her kisses and winking at her for the rest of the evening! Fred thought he was going to be sick!
