Author's Note: I changed my mind lol. I added a new chapter here and edited my Manuscript. This explains things better as there was a weird gap. Hogwarts will be next chapter (I promise)!

The Prologue (Part Three):

- Six -

"Shall we sit together?", asked Harry politely. He had no certainty over the matter, but he sensed that Draco wanted to be closer than his aloft demeanour would allow.

"Whatever, Potter", huffed Draco. Regardless of what his parents advised, Draco had no intention of chasing around after 'the boy who lived'.

"Great! Let us go then", said Harry as he smiled to himself. He knew Draco would come around.

As they boarded the Hogwarts Express, both Harry and Draco considered the previous night's events further.

Draco was suspicious of exactly why his parents suddenly seemed more interested in stupid Potter than before, and he was also interested in why Snape seemed concerned. He also knew that he had been forced to stay quiet about the Parceltongue incident and knew that they must be connected. He wanted to investigate further, despite the fact that he had no intention of caring.

Harry was slowly stroking Ouroboros (the snake he had received only yesterday), as he thought about everything; he realised that it may be unsafe to show himself. He didn't know what kinds of abilities he had (if any) but he knew that talking to snakes was not regarded as normal.

The way Ouroboros whispered in his ears, and the way she understood him better in one day than anyone had his entire life, made him feel strangely calm. Any anger he had held was gone, and in its place was purpose. He knew not what his purpose was but he sensed that he was special. He always had.

The rest of the journey had been calm. The silence had only been broken by a kindly old lady - with a trolly bringing magical sweets. Both Harry and Draco had more than enough money to buy anything they wished. Harry took Draco's advice and chose chocolate frogs as well as Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans.

He was intitially tempted to buy absolutely everything but Draco had warned against it, "Mother loves you; I'm certain she will be sending both of us more than enough sweets". Draco looked as it he was about to smile, but instead, he merely laughed coldly and looked out of the window.

The silence from before prevailed and the two boys remained relatively bored until a blonde, round faced boy frantically burst into the compartment, "Have you seen my Toad?".

Draco looked at the petrified boy and laughed,"Perhaps Harry's snake has eaten it?". Draco then looked to Harry who had kept his face perfectly straight.

"Hmm, Ouroboros, have you eaten the toad?", asked Harry in mock concern. He paused and allowed himself to watch the boy's morbid expression before continuing, "No reply, I shall take that as a maybe, oh dear!", he replied with sarcasm oozing from his voice.

The boy whimpered slightly as a bucked teeth, bushy haired girl stormed in. "Have you found it yet, Neville?", she said with a patronising air of authority.

"N.. no!", whimpered Neville, "B...but Harry said his snake might have eaten it!".

At this point both Harry and Draco were in tears, though the bossy girl did not seem so amused, "Harry Potter?".

"Yes, that is his name. I wouldn't overuse it if I were you", sneered Draco. He didn't like to be intimidated, and certainly not by a bossy girl!

"I thought you would be nicer, Harry", she glared at him as she said this and tutted.

"Well then you must have thought wrong". Like Draco, Harry was not fond of being intimidated. He also had no intention of letting some silly girl be rude to him.

Draco was in hysterics at this and laughed even louder as the girl grabbed Neville's arm and ran off, "I am really starting to like you Potter!".

Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who has read (and reviewed) this! I really appreciate it. This got a lot more attention than my other fic (Silver Dreams) but I'm still updating both in a fairly regular schedule.
