--In Between Chapter--

This Will not appear at the end of Chapter Three so its an In Between Chapter--

The next morning it was time for the Trio and Ginny to go to Hogwarts. Arthur had borrowed the Ministry of Magic car so he could expand it and fit everyone and everything in the car.

Harry had spent quite some time getting ready, as did Hermione. After twenty minutes of debating, Harry finally settled on a pair of jeans and a green sweater and Hermione settled on a t-shirt that said "Brown eyed goddess" and a pair of tight jeans.

Everyone brought down their belongings and gave them to Arthur for further packing and sat in the car. Four across was not comfortable even in an expanded car so Hermione decided to sit on Harry's lap after they took off to make more room for everybody except Harry, who didn't seem to mind.

Once at Kings Cross and at Platform 9 ¾ they all said thanks and goodbye to Molly and Arthur (except they called them Mr. and Mrs. Weasley or Mom) and ran inside.

They loaded their stuff onto the train and found an empty compartment. Harry and Ron took the window seats and played wizard chess, Hermione sat next to Harry, and for a little while Ginny sat next to Ron before leaving to go be with her friends.

For a while Hermione watched the two play but after Ron beat Harry four times she started to read a book.

Pretty soon Ron was tired of beating Harry and they put the game away. Ron layed across the two or three seats and almost instantly fell asleep, odd but whatever.

Harry rested his head on Hermione's lap and looked up at her big brown eyes from his perfect green ones.

Hermione stroked his hair with one hand and holding her book with the other. Hermione was doing this until she not only heard Ron snoring but Harry as well. Hermione realized that they were only halfway to the school but still close enough that she could use magic.

She conjured up a pillow and blanket for both Ron and Harry which was conveniently placed under each of their head of over their bodies. Hermione closed her book and went for a walk around.

She found Ginny talking to a couple of her 5th year friends in one compartment, she saw some of her other friends in random compartments who waved as she passed by, she saw the prefects compartment which looked like a meeting was going on. Still bored Hermione went back to her compartment to see that they were close.

Since Hermione did not feel like walking to the bathroom to change, she simply tapped herself on the head and her robes appeared. Hermione woke up the two sleepy heads, and then went to get Ginny so she could do the same.

Once all of them were dressed they just patiently sat in the compartment until they felt the train slowing down.

Once off they got into the carriage and went over to the school and into the Great Hall where the Sorting Hat sang, and then proceeded to sort the first years. The Gryffindors received about twenty-five new first years.

Hermione seized this opportunity to lean over and whisper to Ron and Harry "Hey do you realize that Malfoy isn't here?"

Harry and Ron glanced over their shoulder and saw his seat was empty. This is when Dumbledore got up to give his annual speech, "Welcome, Welcome. This year I would like to make an announcement." The Hall quieted down "This year one of our very own has crossed over to the dark side, for fear of the safety of the students, they will not be returning for the remaining of their time here at Hogwarts."

Looks of happiness were found all around the Great Hall since many realized that Malfoy was missing and put two and two together and now they were happy that they did not have to deal with him this year. The Slytherins looked quite upset though...

"For a reminder for old students and for knowledge of the firsts, the Dark Forrest..."

The trio stopped listening to finally let it sink in that Malfoy would not be returning.

Dumbledore clapped his hands and the food appeared. Also while the food appeared a letter appeared in front of Harry.

Harry,

After you are finished eating please come to my office. The password is "chocolate drops"

Dumbledore

Hermione and Ron looked at him and Harry replied, "later". The trio caught up with old friends met some of the new ones and had a wonderful evening. Once Harry saw that the teachers were leaving he left and went to Dumbledore's office, said the password and then went up.

"Good evening sir"

"Good evening Harry. I'm sure your probably wondering what I want you for and I will get down to the point. Draco as you heard and probably figured out has crossed over, I however, will not allow him back into the school and he has promised revenge and I immediately thought of you. For safety you will not be sharing a room with the other sixth year boys, you will have your own room, accessible though the common room but also its own enterance. Any questions?

"Not at this moment"

"Great, let me show you your room then."

They exited Dumbledores office, passed the Fat Lady and a picture of a Goblin was there, Dumbledore said the password mystical water and entered. Inside it was decorated in Gryffindor colors and a large king sized bed. It was wonderful

"Thank you Sir, this is absolutely amazing"

"Your quite welcome Harry, if there are any problems please let me know. Good night Harry"

"Good night Sir"

Harry immediately fell asleep in his bed.

The next morning they all awoke and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, Harry had explained to Hermione and Ron about his new room and Ron was a bit jealous, and he promised to show it to both of them later on. Once everyone was seated Dumbledore clapped his hands and an envelope appeared in front of everyone naming their classes. The Gryffindor Sixth years had Care of Magical Creatures, with the Slytherins.

A/N: soooo sorry about that guys...as I was writing I remember the feast and saying that Malfoy crossed over but like I said it probably got deleted during the transfer so I made it again and fixed it...review about it, such as mistakes or anything else in the future. Thanks!
