"Well if it isn't Potty Wee Potter" Draco's steel voice called. Harry's blood began to boil at the sound of Draco's voice. He found himself standing in the Slytherin section of the train. He felt the door behind him trying to find the doorknob. Instinct told him to go for his wand but he knew he'd kill Draco. After witnessing Draco's feeble attempt to kill Dumbledore all Harry knew was death and revenge. "Why the rush Potter? Don't you care to join me" Draco said smiling in such a morose and sinister manner.
"What the hell are you doing here Malfoy? Shouldn't you be getting your soul sucked out in a desolate cell in Azkaban?" Harry asked his eyes clouding with anger. Draco laughed and then slowly moved his hand to his pocket. Before either Harry or Draco could blink their wands were at each others throats threatening cut through their skin.
"You know the answer to that. They think they'll be able to keep an eye on me. It's one of those keep your friends close, your enemies closer thing. They don't realize that I'm not the problem. He's com-" Draco was interrupted by a loud "ahem."
"I suggest you stop before you both make a terrible mistake" Professor McGonagall said. Neither Harry nor Draco lowered their wands. "NOW!" she hissed. Harry and Draco lowered their wands slowly.
"It's far from over Potter" Draco mouthed.
"Harry please leave now. I will wait until you leave" Professor McGonagall said with strained patience. Harry left and stormed through the next two carts until he stumbled upon Hermione, Ron, and Neville.
"You look like hell Harry" Ron remarked absentmindedly. Ron and Hermione were discussing some seventh year event that Harry wasn't particularly interested in at the moment. He'd much rather find out what Draco was about to say about another person being the problem.
"I ran into Malfoy and the rest of his losers" Harry said raking a hand through his jet black hair.
"What! He can't possibly be here! How can they let-" Hermione stopped mid-sentence realizing Neville didn't know what had happened the night the Dark Mark appeared over the school.
"We'll discuss it later. Hey Neville how're you?" Harry said trying to ease the sudden tension that had just built up.
"I...I'm fine" Neville stammered.
"Neville...I'm so sorry! Malfoy crushed your plant when I was returning from the bathroom. I went to give it water. But don't worry I'll replace it" a beautiful girl said upon entering into the cart. She caught Harry's eye immediately. She had such a dark and mysterious beauty, and there was an elegance and gracefulness about her that she was completely unaware of.
"You know Malfoy?" Harry blurted out. "Yes. I do. Childhood...we'll I've known him since I was a young girl. So yes we know each other. You'd better come with me," Viviana said taking Harry's hand in her own. "Where are we going?" Harry asked. He wasn't mad, just confused.
"Go with her! You don't want to-" Ron was interrupted by a door hitting his face.
"Where is Potter?" Draco demanded storming in followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
"None of your business" Ron yelled with a bloody nose.
"Ron! Are you okay?" Neville asked coming over with his wand. "Here, let me help you!"
"No! Neville, I'm fine" Ron said as Neville tried to heal his wound with his haphazard wand work. Draco looked around for Harry as Hermione followed Draco around making sure he didn't go in the corner where the girl and Harry were hiding.
"By the way, I'm Viviana" Viviana said trying to shake Harry's hand. It was nearly impossible since they were in the corner standing hip to hip with minimal breathing room.
"I'm Harry...Potter" he said taking her hand. Standing so close to each other, allowed Viviana and Harry to get a better look at one another. Harry saw dark brown eyes, long and thick eyelashes and pink lips. Viviana saw a strong jaw line, big emerald eyes and a small lightning scar. She ran her finger over the scar.
"Well I'm going to check to see if the coast is clear" Viviana said slipping out of the corner.
"Viviana! What are you doing here? With the Mudblood and her useless boyfriend?" Draco asked stepping close to Viviana.
"Draco please leave" Viviana asked mustering sincerity and patience.
"Awww I don't get a kiss?" Draco leered.
"Back away and get out!" Harry yelled coming out from the corner.
"Potter! Just who I was looking for. I-" "Draco...leave now. This isn't the time" Viviana said pushing Draco away. Something about the way she spoke and even moved reminded Harry of someone he had seen grow up or grown up with. He just couldn't think of who.
"Viviana you don't have to try to protect me" Harry said moving closer to Draco, "this is between me and Malfoy."
"I'm not protecting you, I'm protecting him" Viviana said motioning towards Draco. "Draco leave now"
"NO-"
"Before Professor McGonagall sees you in here...she's coming around again and if I remember correctly your two carts down...she's three carts away" Viviana smirked. Everyone in the cart looked through the small window in the door and saw Professor McGonagall talking with Hannah Abbott and some other Hufflepuffs. "Well..."
"Fine. Let's go. Viviana I'll see you in Slytherin" Draco said turning to leave with Crabbe and Goyle, "as I said earlier Potter...this isn't over." Nobody could comment on what Draco had said because Hermione began to shriek.
"Merlin! Ron look what happened to your nose!" Hermione immediately took out her wand to fix Ron's pig nose. "Neville what did you do!"
"Sorry I tried to stop the bleeding but then he ended up looking like a pig. I'm sorry!" Neville cried.
"It's okay Neville. Hermione will fix it" Viviana consoled, "just don't try that again...ever." Viviana put her arm around Neville and gave him a peck on the cheek. Harry raised his eyebrows at this peculiar sight.
"That's the only time that's ever going to happen" Ron whispered to Hermione. Hermione finished fixing Ron's nose and then tapped him on the head with her wand. "OW! What was that for?" Ron hissed.
"That was for that comment" Hermione snapped.
"Hey! Put your robes on...we're almost there" Ginny said popping her head in.
"Hey aren't you coming in?" Ron asked.
"No...I have places to go and people to see!" Ginny said excitedly slamming the door behind her. As everyone was changing, Viviana sat back and watched.
"You aren't changing?" Hermione asked in a scolding tone.
"No...I don't want to wear robes until I find out what house I'm in" Viviana said.
"Oh. I thought Draco said you were going to be in Slytherin" Neville said nonchalantly. At the mention of Viviana being in Slytherin Hermione, Ron and Harry took a step back and became suspicious.
"I may or may not be. I'm going to wait and see. Why would you stop talking to me if I was? Of course you would. That would make all of you idiots, I'm here for a reason. I didn't just come in my seventh year because I thought a change would be nice. You all have no idea what secrets Hogwarts holds." And with that Viviana took her bags and left.
