"Up, up, up, everyone up!" A voice yelled down the hallway. "We have a train to catch"

Ginevra groaned and pulled her covers over her head. She didn't want to go back to Hogwarts. Her friends all loathed Slytherins, Ginevra hadn't told her friends about her relationship with Draco and she was worried they might treat her the same way. She didn't have to long to worry about this because her mother came into the room and pulled her covers right off of her and heading to her closet and started pulling out clothes for her to wear. Her mother threw them onto her bed before leaving and closing the door behind her.

Ginevra scrambled out of bed and sleepily put on her clothes before going downstairs. Molly was already running around the kitchen with scrambled eggs and bacon filling people's plates. Ginevra sat down and was having food forced at her when Ron bounded down the stairs. At least someone was excited to go back to school and see their friends.

Molly pushed them out the door with their trunks and into the car. A last good bye to the rest of her brothers who had to return to their jobs sent them on their way. It was only Ron and Ginevra going to Hogwarts this year. Ron was in his final year. It was a pretty quiet drive apart from the occasional piece of random muggle information from Arthur that no one really cared about.

They arrived at the station with 15 minutes to spare but Molly being Molly she was stressing and yelling at everyone to hurry up! They casually walked through the wall onto the misty platform. Ginevra could see Luna up ahead and run to talk her leaving Ron stuck with their parents.

Ginevra and Luna put their trunks on the train, said goodbye to their parents and got on the train to look for Collin and Neville. They found them a couple of compartments down. Neville was helping Collin determine what the plants were in him photographs. Luna sat next to Collin and pulled out a quibbler and Ginevra sat opposite them. They were already in their robes and the train had only just left. Neville and Collin got stuck into her about her holidays. She had written to them all when she broke up with harry at the beginning of the holidays and they wanted to know about. Ginevra thought of it as a bit weird that her 'guy' friends were asking her about this but let it go. Even Luna was listening in, glancing at them from over her magazine as they talked.

"So why did you dump him? Did you have your eye on someone else?" Collin asked leaning in.

Ginevra didn't reply she just went a shade of red.

"Ohhhhhh" Neville and Collin said together grinning evilly.

"So who is he, does he know you exist, has he talked to you, are you going out?" Neville started as Ginevra started turning a deeper shade of red.

"It's ok you can tell us later" Collin said giving a warning glance at Neville.

As the sun was starting to set Luna was almost asleep, Collin and Neville were talking about weird boy stuff and Ginevra was staring out the window to the world going past. The train was pretty quiet the excitement of being on the train and heading to school had worn of hours ago. Ginevra eyes were getting heavy and she was about to drift off to sleep when the compartment door slid open and in walked a boy who set himself down beside her and swung his arm around her shoulder. She smiled at him.

"Better get changed soon we will be at Hogwarts in half an hour" he said before kissing her on the cheek and standing to leave.

"Oh, wait Draco" Ginevra said before he could leave. "Can you meet me in the astronomy tower after dinner?" she asked quietly.

"Yeh sure" He said giving her friends a glance before leaving.

Ginevra looked at her friends. Collin was staring at her with wide eyes, Neville had his jaw and the floor while Luna just looked amused at the boy's faces.

"Stop staring Collin and close your mouth Neville you're not a cod-fish. You guys are like stuffed mullets are you ok?" Ginevra said sounding more confident then she felt.

"D... D... Dr... Dra" Collin Stuttered before Neville interrupted

"You're dating Draco Malfoy!" Neville blurted.

"Oh calm down, he actually seems kind of sweet" Luna said in her wondrous little way.

"Sweet? Draco Malfoy, sweet? I don't believe it!" Neville said throwing his hands in the air.

Neville started pacing the small room. Collin sat there staring at the floor pale and eyes wide. Luna sat there amused at their reactions.

"Neville, please" Ginevra said very quietly

"No Ginny! You don't understand. You're dating a Slytherin! You don't understand the effect this will have on the school. Gryffindors have always hated Slytherins. And it's not just any Slytherin. No you had to date Draco Malfoy! I don't know what the Gryffindors will do to you but honestly I don't want to be a part of it!" he practically yelled at her

"When then maybe you should leave" Ginevra said, starting to gain some confidence.

"Fine I will" He said and swept out the door with Collin following him. Collin gave one last apologetic look before being pulled down the corridor.

"Aren't you going to leave to?" Ginevra spat at Luna harsher then she had meant it.

"No" came Luna's calm reply

Ginevra slowly started to break into sobs. Luna came around and sat next to her carefully soothing her. Ginevra's worst fear's had some true. Neville and Collin had abandoned her.
