Chapter 6

The Slug Club

The morning we went off to King's Cross was actually not as scrambled as usual. After breakfast, it only took me twenty minutes to shut Gwendolyn in her cage, shut my black cat Hellion in her crate and packed my trunk, my pets' cages and broom into the Ministry car provided again (Diablo was going to be riding on my shoulder.)

Harry didn't look at me as he stepped into the car next to Ivy. (Ivy was on my one side, Dommie was on the other.) and I got confused as him, Ron, Hermione and ivy were arguing quietly all the way to King's Cross station and onto the Hogwarts Express. Leaving me to read The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as Dominique chatted away happily over how excited she was to go back to Hogwarts as a real student.

I was just getting to the part with Sir Henry Baskerville decided to woo Ms Stapleton when Harry gave me a boot to the backside.

"Get your nose out of Sherlock Holmes and get your trunk out of the car." Harry ordered.

I stuck my tongue out as I stowed away my book for later and getting my trunk, Gwen's cage, Hellion's cage and my broom onto a trolley.

I groaned. Large quiet bearded Aurors were waiting when we got out of the car.

"We'd best take the barrier one by one." Mrs Weasley said "Harry, you first."

I sighed. Harry was always first. First born, first Triwizard Champion called, first to be named in our title. It was annoying.

"Hannah!" a young girl's voice squeaked before I was grabbed around the legs and hugged.

"What in the?" I asked, looking down and seeing a twelve year old girl with long black hair and ice blue eyes beaming up at me, her necklace charm (That matched her eyes) and bangle bracelets shone in the sun.

"Willow!" I said, kneeling down and hugging Willow James properly.

"My parents just dropped me off!" she said happily "They say as long as I'm with you, I'll be fine." She beamed "And check me out! My mum let me buy dragon hide boots!" she said, extending her leg to show me a pair of boots like the ones I was wearing.

"Nice." I said satisfied. "Check this out." I said, digging into my pocket and pulling out my Captain's Badge "I had to tell you first." I said, handing the badge to Willow.

"This is the Quidditch Captains' badge!" she exclaimed "You got it!?" she said excitedly.

I nodded, smirking.

"And I'm the first outside of the family and Ivy? Not even Draco knows?" she asked, beaming.

I nodded "You're the first person I had to tell." I said again.

Willow screeched and tackled me in a hug "Hurray! My big sister's a Captain!" she squealed.

I smirked "Now, you can't tell anyone until I make it public, all right?" I said.

Willow nodded "HEY, BLAIR, AKANE, HIYORI, MERISSA, DESIREE, LUCAS, YUUKI, ROSE, EUAN, NATALIE!" she shouted, waving to Blair Webing, Yuuki Kuchiki and Akane Circa second year Slytherin girls; Hiyori Kuran, Euan Abercrombie and Natalie MacDonald, Gryffindor second years; Merissa Grey, a second year Ravenclaw student; and Desiree and Lucas Burke, and Rose Zeller, second year Hufflepuffs.

"I gotta go. I haven't seen anyone in ages, I have a lot of 'hey's to get in." Willow said, rushing off "SEE YOU, HAN!" she shouted.

I waved and suddenly, I felt someone grab my arm and spin me around. Before I was able to say anything to what I thought was an Auror coming to lead me into the barrier, I was met with a kiss from familiar lips.

I sighed and wrapped my arms around Draco's neck, smiling into the kiss as I secretly pocketed my Captain's badge.

Draco broke the kiss and pressed his forehead against mine "Ah, Hannah, I've missed you." he said seriously.

I smirked "I missed you, too, Draco." I said "Thank you for the Pygmy Puff." I said, kissing him quickly.

Draco smirked "You're welcome." he said before becoming serious "Have you been keeping safe?" he asked.

I nodded "Of course!" I said, heading towards the barrier with Draco "I've been in the confines of the Burrow for seven weeks." I said.

Draco nodded "Excellent." he said as a house elf of his ran his trunk through the barrier.

I smirked, going pink when Draco grabbed my trolley and kissed my cheek.

"Come on, the train won't wait forever." Draco said, forcing me to sprint through the barrier to meet the Hogwarts Express, his mother following.

"Goodbye, Mother." Draco said, kissing Narcissa on the cheek "I'll see you at the end of term." he added.

Narcissa nodded and kissed Draco's cheek back "Be safe, Dragon." she said before smiling warmly at me before walking off.

Draco put my trunk, cage and broom up in the Prefect's compartment along with his, him keeping his extra case with him.

"OI, BLAISE!" Draco shouted, rushing over to Blaise Zabini, who was walking over to us.

"Hey, Drake, sup, Han?" Blaise said, bumping fists with Draco and hugging me.

"Same old, same old." I said as Draco glared at Blaise, me looking at Draco confused.

Draco knew that Blaise and I were friends…why was he acting so jealous all of a sudden?

"That's good." Blaise said, messing up my hair as he let me go. "Ivy!" Blaise said, wrapping Ivy in his arms next and kissing her cheek "I've missed you, baby."

Ivy beamed "Missed you, too." Ivy said, kissing Blaise's cheek in return. "Thanks for the owls." she said happily.

"Someone's in a good mood." Blaise pointed out, giving Ivy an Eskimo kiss.

Ivy grinned and returned it. "That's because I don't have to deal with my stupid aunt anymore." she said "My dad's banned her from the house."

I smiled. "Yes!" I said "I completely forgot Umbridge quit!" I said, overjoyed as Draco lifted me up onto the train before going off with Blaise.

"Draco!" I called "Aren't you going to patrol?" I asked, poking my head out to watch Draco go.

"I'll meet up with you later!" Draco called as Ivy went with Dominique onto a compartment.

Someone tapped my back and I turned around to see Sheila Alexander.

"Hey, Han!" Sheila squealed, hugging me tightly, her New Zealand Firescale lizard Fireball giving me a kiss. "How are you?" she asked.

I smiled "Pretty good, you?" I asked.

"Not bad, you'll never guess what I found out!" Sheila said quickly.

"What?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"MEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" Ramona "She-Cat" Capodebt's voice said behind me before I was tackled in a hug.

"She-Cat!" I shouted, hugging my seventh year friend. "How are you?"

"Pretty good. I saw Snape in a pink bikini again doing extra Divination homework." She-Cat said, laughing "Except there wasn't ponies on his bikini this time…it was Pygmy Puffs. Cute Puff, by the way." she said, petting Diablo.

"Her name's Diablo, Draco got her for me." I smiled as the Head Boy and Girl assigned patrols.

I was bored. My idiot house prefect partner decided to ditch me to be with Blaise (I love Draco, but he could sometimes really piss me off!), leaving me to patrol on my own.

As I walked through the Gryffindor compartments, I heard a pair of airy voices calling "Quibblers, Quibblers."

I turned around from reprimanding a third year boy for using a Bat Bogey Hex on a first year girl, seeing a familiar duo with silvery blond hair.

It was Luna Lovegood and her cousin, Archemedies (though he liked to be known as Arch.)

"OI! Luna! Arch! HEY!" I shouted, waving to the Lovegoods, using my free hand to grab the boy's arm "Don't even think about it." I snarled under my breath.

"Hannah." Luna said, smiling at me.

"Hello, Hannah." Arch said, mirroring Luna's smile

"Quibbler?" Luna asked, handing a magazine out to me.

"Sure!" I said, taking the magazine that read something about free Specraspecs inside "So, The Quibbler is still going strong?" I asked, remembering the interview Harry gave for the magazine the previous term, provoking the blanket ban of the magazine by Umbridge, which was then revoked along with Umbridge's banning privileges.

"Oh, yes, circulation's well up." Luna said, smiling "Have you seen Ramona?" she asked.

I nodded "Yeah, she went to talk to Katie Bell." I said, nodding over to the next carriage behind me.

"Thanks, come on, Arch. We'll go see your girlfriend." Luna said to a beaming Archemedies as she walked past me "Enjoy the magazine, Hannah!"

"I will, thanks!" I shouted back to her before turning back to the third year I was reprimanding. "As for you, I will be in contact with Professor McGonagall, hexing a first year who probably doesn't even know a spell yet! Shame on you!" I said angrily.

Suddenly, I heard a first year girl's voice scream and I heard Annabelle Drosie's voice shout "Give us all your money, you filthy Mudblood!"

I turned to the boy "Don't let your stunt happen again, or I'll give you detention!" I snapped before turning to Drosie (who had a first year girl around the ankles and shaking her) and O'Neil (who was collecting money) "OI! O'Neil, put that first year down!"

I was slightly confused. Why would Drosie call a first year a "Filthy Mudblood" when she herself was one?

I guess I have family trees to look up, then. Maybe Drosie's lying about her blood status. I said.

"Nice face, Potter. NOT!" Drosie shouted at me as she ran off.

I huffed and walked on, promising to get her later and put her in detention.

When I finally got to the Slytherin compartments, my turf, I heard rumours over the Slytherin Quidditch Captain.

"Apparently, the captain's deciding not to show themselves until trails are set up." One person said.

"Do you even think there is a captain this year?" another person asked.

I smirked. They have no idea that their Quidditch Captain is walking past them right now…but I guess a few Slytherins should find out. Draco and Blaise should know, and Pansy. I thought devilishly as I opened the door to Draco's compartment, where Blaise, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Pansy Parkinson were.

"So then I say 'That's not no firecracker, that's a squirrel!'" Crabbe said, biting into a Chocolate Frog as I leaned against the threshold.

"I think it's against the rule to put a prefect through a crappy joke, Crabbe. And I think it's mandatory to share candy with prefects that can kick your ass." I said, smirking.

"Hannah!" Pansy said happily, Crabbe just smirking at me (He was making an effort to be nice to me for Draco's sake, but I saw right through it and I still hated his slimy guts.). "You hear the rumours about the Mystery Quidditch Captain?" she asked.

I smirked and plopped myself next to Draco, Goyle handing me a Chocolate Frog "Thanks, man." I said, pocketing the card without looking at it and taking out my Captain's Badge "Well, I guess you all are going to be in on the Mystery of the Quidditch Captain." I said, sitting on the badge.

"What are you talking about?" Goyle asked.

I smirked and wrenched my arm out of my backside and resting it at my side "You tell me." I said, tossing the badge to Draco unexpectedly, who caught it, gaping.

"No…" Draco whispered.

I nodded "Yep. Hannah Potter, Quidditch Captain."

Pansy beamed, Goyle gasped, Blaise looked as if someone knocked him round the head with a heavy book and Crabbe choked on his Liquorice Wand.

"NO WAY!" Draco shouted, shooting up, picking me up and spinning me around and kissing me hard and passionately. "My girlfriend, Quidditch Captain…" he muttered.

"OH MY GOSH!" Pansy shouted "AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?" she shrieked.

"Tell the entire house about her luck, why don't you?" Blaise asked, glaring at Pansy as some first year walked in with silvery shoulder length hair and blue eyes.

"Um…I've been sent to deliver these to Hannah Potter and Blaise Zabini." the girl said, handing me and Blaise a piece of parchment with purple ribbon and me the exact same thing.

"Who's Slughorn?" Blaise asked reading his letter.

"Why?" I asked.

"He wants us in Compartment C." Blaise said, rolling his eyes.

"He's a new teacher." I said. "I guess he wants to see us." I said, kissing Draco. "I'll be back soon." I said walking out with Blaise.

When I got to the door of Compartment C, I saw Harry and Neville hanging around.

"Hey, Harry." I said. "Neville."

Harry smirked "Hey, sis." he said, ignoring Blaise completely.

"Hi, Hannah…" Neville said, also ignoring Blaise.

"Don't feel bad, Blaise. It's a Gryffindor thing." I said, walking into the compartment with Blaise, Harry and Neville on my tail.

"Ah, Hannah!" Slughorn said brightly, nodding to two empty chairs next to him and smiling at Blaise "And you must be Mr Zabini!"

Blaise nodded. "Yes, sir." he said.

"Well, come in, come in. Do you know everyone?" Slughorn asked me. "This is Cormac McLaggen, a Gryffindor of course," he gestured to a wiry haired seventh year boy, who just nodded at me. (I guess he lived up to the idea that Gryffindors and Slytherins should loathe each other.). "Marcus Belby," Slughorn gestured to a Ravenclaw in fifth year. "And these charming young ladies tell me they know you!" Slughorn said, gesturing to Ginny Weasley, Ivy, Sheila and Ramona.

"Ivy!" Blaise said, going over to Ivy and kissing her as I sat down next to Slughorn, who passed me half a cold pheasant.

Apparently, Slughorn only invited the people there because they were well connected. Blaise had a beautiful witch for a mother, who married seven times, all of her husbands mysteriously dying and leaving her mounds of gold. McLaggen and Belby were connected with people from the Ministry, Neville, well, his parents were highly skilled Aurors. Ivy's mother was an Auror, Sheila's parents worked in the Ministry…and She-Cat…well, she was She-Cat…it was hard not to call her special.

"And now…" Slughorn said, turning to me and beaming after interviewing Harry "Hannah Potter! Where to begin, where to begin? The Slytherin Potter, they call you. And a Malfoy girlfriend! Dear lord, what a talent you are at piano…and a voice on you. I've never taught a girl like you. And I'm very eager to start. And apparently, according to the Prophet, your best friends with a Gryffindor, a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff."

"That's us!" Sheila said, putting her hand up "And we all sing, sir."

I gave them a look as Slughorn looked delighted "Excellent, excellent. How would you four like to sing for us?"

Ivy, Sheila and I exchanged looks, but She-Cat beamed "Sure!" she said, pulling out four pieces of parchment and handing one to me "I managed to write a song about us in my third year." she said, standing up and starting to sing:

A/N: Italic and bolded: Ivy singing

Bold: Hannah singing

Bold and underlined: Sheila singing

Italic: She-Cat singing

Underlined: all four

"Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah" She-Cat sang randomly.

"One!"

"Two!" I sang.

"Three!" Sheila sang.

"Four! Straight As all the way, tough enough to throw you away, flipped a seventh year in first grade!" Ivy sang, smirking.

"Acting like my little house maid!"

Ivy chased She-Cat off as I started snickering. I liked this song She-Cat wrote. Sheila started belting out something:

"Talking today till tomorrow, talking through all of the sorrow, give me a telephone to talk all day…" Sheila sang giddily.

"Makes you want to run away!" She-Cat interrupted, making Sheila chase off her friend as I started to sing.

"Beauty, baby, it's my star key, I have guys ogling over me!" I sang.

"Let me tell you something about this weirdo, she's in love with Malfoy Draco!" She-Cat interrupted, making me snarl and chase her until Sheila and Ivy held me back.

"You are all out insane!" Ivy said, shaking her head.

"I know that, there's no one to blame!" Sheila sang, shrugging

"Your jokes are just way to lame!" I sang, my lip curling into a sneer.

"Come on, all, shout my name!" She-Cat shouted, putting a hand up to her ear.

"RAMONA!" we shouted together.

"The one and the same! Slither Slytherin named Hannah, grumpy Gryffindor named Ivy, clawing Ravenclaw named Sheila and huffing Hufflepuff named-" She-Cat sang happily.

"RAMONA!" the four of us finished together.

The room went into an uproar, Slughorn leading some applause.

"Wonderful, ladies, just wonderful!" Slughorn said as I sat back down.

When Slughorn finally let us leave, I went back to Draco's compartment and sat down, rubbing my eyes and tightening my robe around myself.

"So, Zabini, what did Slughorn want?" Draco asked as I laid down in his lap.

"He wanted to make up to the well connected people, not that he managed to find many." Blaise said as I closed my eyes and Draco treated me like his cat, stroking some of my hair out of my face.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and smoke, making me quickly shoot up and start coughing.

"Crabbe! Blaise!" Draco called.

"Relax, it's probably just the smokestack thing that's around. Come on, Draco, sit down, we'll be at Hogwarts soon." Pansy said calming Draco down. Draco huffed and sat back down next to me, pulling me against him in an almost protective way.

I smirked, putting a hand on his shoulder as I closed my eyes. I was soon fast asleep.

Draco's POV

I looked down and sighed in relief. I could tell Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise and Pansy what I wanted to say, Hannah was sound asleep.

"Hogwarts…" I said quietly. "what a pathetic excuse for a school. If it wasn't for Hannah, I'd pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower at the thought of continuing for another two years." I said coldly, but still quietly to let Hannah sleep.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Pansy asked.

I shrugged gently "Let's just say I might not be wasting my time in Charms class next year." I said, smirking.

Blaise snickered and I glared at him "Amused, Blaise?" I asked him. "Well just see who's laughing in the end." I said, looking down at Hannah.

"Draco, what are you talking about?" Pansy asked as Blaise fell silent.

I mouthed. "Later." and pulled some hair out of Hannah's face. Despite the fact I loved Hannah more than anything, I loved talking to Pansy about things I couldn't tell Hannah.

The turrets of Hogwarts castle came into sight. "I can see Hogwarts." I said, looking up into the luggage rack…which oddly enough, moved. "Hannah…wake up."

Hannah blinked and shook her head "Oh…" she said, blushing in her adorable way "Must have fallen asleep. My bad." she said.

I rolled my eyes as the train stopped and I fastened my new travelling cloak around Hannah, who waited as Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise packed up and filed out.

"You go on." I said to Hannah, looking up to the luggage rack. "I want to check something. Wait for me outside the train. I'll be out in a minute."

Hannah nodded, her eyebrows creased in confusion as she walked out, me closing the door and shutting the blind behind her, making the rest of the blinds go down with the one I pulled down myself.

I drew my wand. "Didn't Mummy ever teach you it was rude to eavesdrop, Potter? Petrificus Totalus!" I shouted, pointing my wand up to the luggage rack, which cracked and something fell off the table and onto the compartment floor.

I wrenched the Invisibility Cloak off and there laid Potter, unable to move.

"Oh, yeah." I sneered "She was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin." I said before double checking Hannah wasn't around.

I stomped on his face…hard. I felt his nose break "That's from my father." I sneered, taking the Cloak back in my hands and making to throw it back over him. "Enjoy your ride back to London." I said finally, throwing the Cloak onto him before walking out.

And there stood Hannah, just outside where I attacked her brother.

"What kept you?" she asked, smiling.

I smirked "Oh…" I started, kissing her cheek as I walked her down to the horseless carriages "I just had to double check for my wand." I lied.

Oh, Hannah. I thought as I helped her onto a carriage If only you knew what kind of danger you're in now.

A/N: Uh oh…what do you think Draco means? R+R please! And feel free to create an OC for me to use, I swear I'll mention them and have them have at least one thing to say. You can find the form in my last chapter. Do one and I will love you forever and always! Special thanks to the following who submitted characters:
