Chapter One: Old Friends and New Beginnings
Harry, Hermione and Ron made their way into the empty compartment, after being stopped by several people, asking them about two new girls who had come from a school no-one had heard of.
"God, I don't think I've ever known this train to be so packed!" Ron moaned as the trio finally found an empty compartment to sit in.
"Well, in third year we had to share with a teacher, remember?" Hermione stated, making Ron slightly embarrassed.
"Oh, erm, I forgot about that year…and what was that about two new girls?" he muttered.
Hermione and Harry just shrugged and sat down. They started eating when…
"Oh, sorry. We didn't realise this compartment was occupied" Apologized a petite girl, with dark brown hair, violet eyes and glasses. She also had a lip piercing.
"No, that's fine, come and sit with us, everywhere else is full anyway" Hermione smiled to the two newcomers.
"Thanks, everyone else just ignored us or gawked at us, like we were bloody freaks." answered the second girl, who was roughly Harry's height, had shoulder length brown hair and hazel eyes.
"I'm Natalya by the way," the first girl said as she introduced herself.
"And I'm Raini… no jokes please! What are your names?" the second girl asked.
"I'm Hermione, this is Ron, and this is Harry" Hermione answered before the boys even opened their mouths.
"Oi, Herm, we can speak you know!" Ron moaned as Harry chuckled.
"Erm, you are Harry Potter aren't you?" Natalya asked
"Yeah…. Why do you ask? You're not a stalker or anything are you?" Harry asked, sounded slightly concerned but chuckling at the same time.
"Noooo, that's Raini's job… just kidding chick!" Natalya said hurriedly as Raini went to slap her...
"It's well… we went to Muggle School together… Miss Hitchen's class?" Natalya asked.
"Oh my life! Natalya! Bloody hell…" Harry smiled as he gave Natalya a big hug.
"Well, well well…. Potty and the Weasel have friends!" drawled the infamous Malfoy as he leant against the door.
"And just who might you be?" Raini challenged Draco before Natalya could stop her.
"I might ask the same thing, what's a girl like you doing hanging round with mutts like these?" Draco sneered.
SMACK!
"You bitch! What was that for?"
"Those mutts happen to be my friends, and great and gorgeous ones at that, so fuck off Malfoy. At least we have mates, and not bodyguards." Raini said with a look of utter disgust on her face, as she looked the three Slytherin cronies up and down.
"You'll pay…."
"What for? Good day to you Mr Malfoy" Natalya said innocently as she slammed the door shut, on Draco's fingers, who could then be heard muttering insults under his breath as they stalked off.
"What a fucking jerk! Gggrrrr, that's really pissed me off!" Raini growled.
"Oi, its ok hun, calm down… he's not worth getting pissed off over" Natalya soothed as she hugged Raini.
"I know, I know…. OOH! Is that Hogwarts!" Raini suddenly squealed, making everyone jump.
"It certainly is Raini, it certainly is…"
