(A/N: Well, there's gonna be some G-rated brotherly fluff in one or two of the later chapters, but some people cannot deal with incest or yaoi, so I'm being nice to them. If you want anything more than that, go imagine it for yourself, heh heh, that's what I do if I'm dying for some Elricest. So love you all, hope you don't stop reading, and… I just realized that Draco somehow manages to know exactly which carriage Harry and co. are in every time… weird, anyways, ENJOY!!!)


Chapter 5: Hogwarts!

Soooooooo… Arina has her stuff and just read the other damn chapters if you want to know what else happened. It's time to go to Hogwarts. Oh! I forgot to tell you that Harry and the rest of the golden trio are excused from classes and so on to look for the horcruxes but that is not relevant to this story 'cause this'll be 'bout Al and not the golden trio. On to the story, they're on the train, and looking for a compartment (Arina, Ginny and Harry, Ron Hermione are prefects and have to go to the prefects' compartment). They find one with Luna in it.

"Hey, Luna, can we sit here? The other compartments are full."

"Sure, Ginny. Who's that girl with you?"

"Oh, this is Arina. Arina, meet Luna, she's in Ravenclaw."

"Hello." Arina waved shyly.

They put their luggage overhead and sat down. Arina and Luna were talking, Ginny and Harry were having a conversation, and, ummm, Ron and Hermione were somewhere… okay, fine they're still in the prefects' compartment. Then, Draco and his goons come. Dun dun dun dun….. (Draco: Hey! I'm not that bad! Me: Or so he says… Draco: whacks me on head)

"Potty, Loony and the blood-traitor Weasley." He smirks, "Where's the mudblood and the Wea-"

"Hello, Mr Draco!"

Draco paused. Where did he recognize that voice from? The beautiful Ms Mustang (A/N: The very thought makes me laugh, 'cause I start imagining Roy Mustang as a girl… I'll be having nightmares for a while.) whom he met at Diagon Alley.

"Why, Ms Arina, what are you doing hanging out with," he paused, "filth like this? Come and share my compartment with me."

"It's alright really. I'm just fine here. In fact, I was discussing a rather interesting subject with Luna of whether or not vampires should be counted as 'creatures' since they are similar to humans." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Perhaps I'll see you at Hogwarts then. I bid you well." And with that, he left. Harry and Ginny were staring wide-eyed at Arina while Luna was just looking curiously at her.

"How do you know Malfoy?" Harry asked more than a little bewildered.

She blushed. "I met him in Diagon Alley while Dumbledore was looking at socks. He was quite nice to me although he was rather rude to you."

Hermione and Ron came soon after, and perhaps 20 minutes later, Hermione said, "We should be arriving at Hogwarts soon, we should change into our robes." The girls went to the bathroom to change and soon came back. The boys had changed by then of course. (A/N: By the way: I'm actually listening to Jay Chou's "Listen to what Mama says" while I'm typing this! I love that song! It's so cute…XD)

Then they arrived at Hogwarts.

They got off the train and saw Hagrid.

"Hey, Hagrid! Do you know where Arina should go?"

"Aye, 'Arry. She should go to Professor McGonagall."

"Thanks, Hagrid."

And I'm getting bored with this crap, so…

They take carriages, Arina sees Thestrals, Hermione says they can only be seen if you've seen someone die. Ron asks who Arina saw die. Hermione whacks him for his lack of tact. Arina says the first person she saw die was her mom. Hermione takes note of the fact Arina said 'first' person, implying that she's seen other people die too. They're at Hogwarts. Golden trio and Ginny go to Great Hall and Arina follows McGonagall (this is the correct spelling, I checked the books -) to her office. McGonagall says to come into the Great Hall when her name is called and explains some Hogwarts crap essential for the mission. They go back, Arina waiting outside Great Hall and…
