Chapter eight:

Malfoy vs. Clayton

"I can't believe it's time to go back to school already." Hermione said as they all packed.

"Yeah tomorrow is too soon I'm not done my homework." Ron said looking worried.

"Ron that's not funny." Hermione said frowning at him.

"Leave him alone Hermione." Shane said.

"Fine I give up." Hermione said.

"It's getting late I'm going to bed so I'm not late tomorrow when we leave for school." Airean said.

"Me too I bushed" Ron said.

"What about your homework Ron?" Hermione said.

"I'll do it on the train." Ron said getting up to leave.

They'd all been packing together in the hall so they could hang and talk without being to far from the stuff that they were packing.

"I need to get something" Harry said leaving Hermione and Shane in the hall. When he came back they were whispering to each other and when they saw Harry they quieted down. Hermione gave Harry a fake smile.

"What's up with you two?" Harry asked.

"Nothing" Hermione said blushing.

"Really you think I'm that dumb?" Harry said.

"And don't say your talking about me again because I'm just not that interesting." Harry said.

"Fine I'll lie to you then, I was telling her she the most beautiful girl ever." Shane said.

Hermione blushed even deeper. "I going to bed now." Hermione said almost running up the stairs.

"Whatever I'm going to find out." Harry said.

"Being nosey again?" Shane asked.

"No it's only nosey when it's not about me." Harry said.

"Whatever" Shane said.

"Will you just tell me?" Harry asked.

"Fine I was asking Hermione stuff about you for Airean. She has kind of got a thing for you." Shane said.

"W-what?" Harry said.

"You heard me. Now I going to bed and so are you." Shane said dragging Harry into there room.

Then next morning Harry was awakened by someone shaking him and saying

"Hey, Harry get up! Don't want to be late do you?" Airean said smile at him.

Harry's memory was a little fuzzy because he just woken-up but he knew that there was something about Airean being this close to him that was nerve-racking. 'It's that she likes you!' A voice yelled in his head. Harry eyes snapped open and he looked at the girl standing over him smiling. "What are you doing!" Harry yelled jumping put of the bed.

"Waking you up, you're not a morning person huh?" Airean said.

Harry looked around the room. "Where is everyone?" Harry asked.

"Eating, you woke up late." Airean said.

"Oh um…listen um…Shane told me about what you um…think about me." Harry blurted out before he let himself get the chance to think about it.

"Oh um…remind me to kill him latter then, but anyway it's no big I think you're cute but I just want to be friends at least for now ok? It's just I really don't know you yet." Airean said giving him a killer grin.

"Oh ok" Harry said feeling relieved. After last year dealing with Cho he wasn't really ready for another girlfriend just yet.

"Ok well lets go eat." Airean said.

When Harry was done breakfast he went upstairs to get his things. It seamed as thought everyone in the house was rushing to get to King's Crossing even though half the people weren't even young enough to go to Hogwarts anymore.

"We are going to be late!" Mrs. Weasley cried. "Hurry up all of you! Hurry up!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at them as Harry and Ron got into the car. Once everyone was ready they set off to king's crossing.

When they got there they only had five minutes to get on the train.

"Hurry" Called Mrs. Weasley. They went through platform 9 ¾ one at a time Harry first then Ron, Shane, Hermione, and Airean. They train whistle blew and the train wheals started turning.

"Let's go it's leaving!" Ron yelled as he jumped on the train. The others followed. Once they were all on the train they found an empty compartment and sat down.

"Wow this is nice, we took buses to our school." Airean said.

"Yeah I guess I never really thought about it but you'd need a lot of buses to take all of Hogwarts students." Hermione said.

"Well if it isn't the perfect couple, I see you made new friends." Said a cruel voice that reminded Harry very much of Voldemort. Harry turned to see Shane give a boy near the door a death glare. Behind him stud Malfoy, Crab, and Goyle.

"What do you want?" Shane asked he seemed to be having a hard time not yelling and had his fist clenched.

"Just wanted to tell you and your little girlfriend that I've been missing you this summer. Most you though." He said looking at Airean.

"Bug off" Harry said getting annoyed.

"Shut-up Potter! He'll do whatever he wants" Malfoy said.

All of a sudden all four of the boys robes set fire. All of them except the boy who been talking started screaming and running around.

"This is not over Shane." He said and waved his hand making the fire disappeared.

"Whatever Clayton just go" Shane said.

"Let's go before these mudbloods give us their disease." Clayton said turning to go. The others followed him out.

Once they were gone Ron turned to Shane and said half smiling. "Friend of yours from school?"

"Something like that" Shane grunted.

"So who do you think is worse Malfoy or Clayton?" Hermione asked.

"Oh yeah we should get them into a fight Malfoy vs. Clayton winner annoy all." Ron joked.

"He's most likely only hanging around Clayton to get in good with him cause his Dad is the biggest Deatheater ever. Want to be on their good side so they help gets his Dad out of jail I guess." Shane said.

"Oh, well now does that mean Malfoy's got a boss now? That will be fun, seeing Malfoy take order's, even if it is from someone like Clayton." Ron said smiling.


What do you think of Clayton? I know he doesnt seem so evil now but he will get worse at time goes on especial in my sequel which is of course Harry's 7th yr at Hogwarts.

R&R!
