My Life Alone

When I awoke the next day I couldn't help but feel squeamish about what had happened yesterday, I crawled out from under the covers and made the bed, walking over to my trunk I pulled out a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, quickly pulling on my black converse hi-tops that were given to me last Christmas by Hermione I snuck downstairs as quietly as I could hoping to be able to sneak out and get my motorbike from the park before anyone else woke up. But when I arrived downstairs, I saw a dark haired girl sitting at the kitchen table sipping her coffee, I walked in uncomfortably, she looked around and smiled.

"Hey Harry," she said, nodding I sat down opposite her, trying to figure out if it was Parvati or Padma, catching my gaze she looked up and smiled again.

"It's Padma," she said amusedly, I nodded and smiled embarrassed, hearing movement upstairs we both looked up at the ceiling, next second Parvati came downstairs, still in her pyjamas, our eyes followed her into the kitchen where she sat down with her head in her hands, Padma smiled and shook her head.

"So how do people tell you two apart outside school?" I asked curiously, Parvati and Padma looked at each other, Padma answered

"I have lighter hair, Parvati's dyed hers a few darker shades," she said looking at Parvati, "and she has a pierced belly button." I nodded, and looked at Parvati who was holding her head up with her hand and had her eyes closed.

"If you're so tired go back to bed!" Padma said scornfully to her sister, Parvati opened her eyes and glared at her

"I can't, I couldn't sleep at all last night, so I doubt I'll be able to fall asleep if I go back,"

"Welcome to my world," I muttered, but Padma continued

"Why couldn't you sleep?" Parvati rolled her eyes

"Because Mother," She said annoyed, "There are people today I'd rather not see, one person in particular and I was thinking of ways to avoid them,"

"Who are you trying to avoid?" I asked

"Seamus," she muttered, I shot Padma a confused expression, picking up on it she answered the unasked question

"They were going out and he cheated on her with an older girl."

"She was only a year older," Parvati muttered darkly

"Who was it?" I asked

"Cho Chang," Padma said, Parvati stared moodily at the table's surface,

"Ravenclaw slut," she murmured, Padma glared at her

"Oi!" she said angrily, while I swallowed a laugh.

The trip to King's Cross was short, Padma had rung up the taxi service and we arrived at the station much better than I had in fourth year when the fireworks had gone off and crookshanks had gone crazy clawing his way up the drivers leg. I brought three trolley's over to the girls and helped them load their trunk onto them. Walking casually to the barrier, dividing platform 9 and 10, slipping through quickly, we arrived right in front of the train, its usual smoke billowing out of it and smothering around the people who were crowded around, waiting for to board, those who were already on were fighting over carriages and seats. Parvati and I wheeled our trolleys along until we were able to find an a less over crowded doorway in order to push our trunks in without being pushed ourselves, it took a while to get them in securely so that they wouldn't come back down on us as soon as we turned around, suddenly a voice erupted from behind me that was a little too familiar.

"Hello Harry," turning around I came face to face with no other than Cho Chang, folding my arms I looked at her

"What are you doing here didn't you finish last year?" I asked coldly

"I'm dropping off my younger sister, she's starting this year," she said.

"Hey Harry, Ron and Padma have saved us a compartment," Parvati had just walked out beside me; there was a thick tension that surrounded us. Cho was first to recover

"Well, well Parvati Patil and Harry Potter never would have thought," she said with a smirk,

"No I haven't got a boyfriend Cho but I'll tell you when I do, maybe you can fuck him next," she said scathingly, Cho smirked

"Don't blame me if your boyfriend ran to me for excitement," Cho said calmly, "I gave Seamus something on more than one occasion that you could never give him." Parvati acted so quickly that I had barely anytime to register what she was going to do until it was too late.

SMACK!

Parvati had slapped Cho as hard as she could across the face, Cho staggered backwards, next thing she lunged at Parvati, Parvati withdrew quickly with a hand to her face, removing it I saw two pink scratches down her face, next thing they were at each other hitting, scratching and punching everything within reach. As soon as Parvati came within reach I grabbed her around the waist and hauled her away from Cho, but this didn't stop her, she was still trying to get back and continue trying the catfight, I threw her over my shoulder which made it impossible for her to continue fighting, carrying her onto the train I looked to see where Ron had saved the compartment, I saw a girl with long red hair walking a little way in front of us.

"Hey Ginny!" She turned around

"Hey Harry," she said looking Parvati who I was still holding, "Err, Hi Parvati,"

"Hi, Ginny," Parvati replied, "Harry can I get down now please,"

"Nope," I told her, "I'm not putting you down until the train is moving," Parvati sighed and kicked me in the thigh, I knew where she was aiming for so I took hold of her ankles, to stop her from doing it with more precise aim and turned to Ginny.

"Do you know where Ron is?" I asked

"Yeah, he's two compartments down but you better knock first who knows what they're doing," she said amused. Thanking her I moved down the train more too where she said, unable to use my hands I knocked on the door with my foot, Padma answered,

"Oh Harry, Parvati what are you doing?" she asked

"What am I doing?" Parvati replied outraged, "It's more what he's doing!" I rolled my eyes and entered the compartment, throwing Parvati down onto the seat; the train lurched and started moving slow from the platform. I looked at Parvati who still had the dark pink scratches down her face and a bleeding lip.

"Oh my God Pav, what happened?" Padma asked shocked, staring down at her sister.

"She got into a fight with Cho Chang," I muttered, smiling. Parvati crossed her arms in a huff and glared out the window, Padma shook her head and sat down next to Ron

"Why did you get into a fight, that proves nothing Parvati?"

"She provoked me, so I slapped her,"

"She provoked you, that's all!"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW, FUCK YOU'VE NEVER BEEN CHEATED ONE, YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU, SO YOU DON'T EVEN TRY!"

With that she stormed from the compartment, without a backwards glance, leaving Padma sitting there as though she had been slapped upon the face just as Cho had.

Sorry it took so long, I will try and have the next chapter up quicker, I have big plans for this story believe me! I can't wait to continue, PLEASE REVIEW!
