So I am back with a new update! I really hope you guys like this. It was a hard one for me to write. However, things are about to get much more interesting. Can anybody guess why? And Snape will be making several appearances during their time at Hogwarts. Well, let me know what you think! :)

Harry woke the next day, and noticed almost immediately that the sun seemed to be shining brighter than usual. He sighed and shook his head. Why couldn't that evil orb disappear? He needed the grey, overcast sky that reflected his dreary mood. He was still angry with Ron, and Harry had no intention of talking to him anytime soon. He felt his blood boil at the simple fact that Ron had scared off Lucky. He wasn't going to quit waiting for the other boy online, but he had a bad feeling that things just weren't going to work out as easily as he wanted them to. Harry flipped open that laptop, but there was no one online, no new notifications...

He moped about the house all day, not a single smile ever appearing on his face. Why should he smile anyways? When Ron tried to talk to him, he walked away, ignoring the redhead. Ron knew he needed to give it time, but he was rather impatient. Still, he couldn't tie Harry down and force him to listen, or even more so, to speak, now could he. Hermione had a hard time getting through to her friend, not because he was mad at her, but because his mind was somewhere else as he thought about Lucky. Perhaps his friends were right. Perhaps Harry was better off without him, so why couldn't he make himself believe that thought as it crossed his mind?

Draco stayed in bed for most of the day. His parents allowed this because they knew that he was really upset. It was easy to tell. Lucius had been peeking in to check on his son ever now and again, and Narcissa had brought his food up to him, worried that he hadn't really touched much of it. She sighed as she spoke with Lucius downstairs. They needed a way to help get his mind off of that person... that James. Lucius thought for a moment as he looked at Narcissa, but a different idea suddenly popped into his head and he smiled. Narcissa wasn't sure that she liked the current expression on her husband's face.

"Why not get him a laptop? It's not like we don't have the money." Narcissa tried not to spoil her son, but perhaps Lucius was right. It wasn't like he had done anything wrong, and it seemed like not having a computer was punishing him for no particular reason. Lucius was relieved when she agreed to it, and he headed out, figuring that the sooner Draco had access to his friend, James, was it, the better. After a few hours, Lucius returned, frowning and empty handed. He had had no success, as it seemed that everyone was sold out with the new school year on it's way. What was it with this bad luck they seemed to be having anyways?

~One Week Later~

It was just about time for the students to be heading back to Hogwarts. Lucius had finally just been able to get his son a somewhat decent laptop, but warned him that if he lost it or ruined it, he wouldn't be allowed another one, and his access to the computer would be limited. He knew that they just wanted to be sure that he took care of such an expensive object. He held the flat object to his chest as he looked around the store for the books that he needed. He was only missing a couple. After a few moments, he spotted them both, and walked over to the shelf to grab them. As Draco pulled them out, he saw Harry Potter on the other side, reaching for the same two books, but not quite fast enough to actually get them. He smirked as he looked at the brunet.

"Sorry Potter, too slow," he spat in a snide manner before walking away with the books in hand. Harry just shrugged and walked away. His mind was still on Lucky. Malfoy found his parents, and after purchasing the two books, they headed back to the manor.

Harry had been missing Lucky, but he had a feeling that Ron had completely ruined the somewhat fragile friendship the two online friends had developed. He was still angry, but after a week, he just couldn't take not talking to Ron anymore. After heading to Diagon Alley, where he had a tense encounter with Draco Malfoy, and returning to the Burrow, they had talked out the problem. Both boys had stated their sides and come to an understanding. Ron had agreed that if Harry and Lucky were to start talking again, he would not interfere this time. Harry explained that he could see Ron's point of view, but it was really his life. After the chat, things seemed much better between them.

The next morning, the three friends boarded the Hogwart's Express with the air mostly cleared between them. Ron was still jealous, but Harry was right. He really needed to learn to let go. They took their usual seats on the train. For most of the ride, Harry stared out the window, not saying much. He wasn't paying attention to what his friends talked about, but if he had, he would have known that they were both still worrying about him. He had been even more different since he had stopped spending time with Lucky. He had become quiet and withdrawn. They had noticed that he hadn't even taken one of Malfoy's baits back at Diagon Alley the day before, which was unusual for their friend.

Harry turned to look around at the car where they had sat for 5 years now. It only took a moment for him to see a sign saying that the Express had set up open Wi-Fi. In a moment, Harry had his laptop out. He kept him on him for fear of someone stealing it. He opened it, and in a moment he was connected to the internet. Hermione and Ron shook their heads and chuckled. They were going to have to get used to it. After all, it wasn't like the computer was really hurting anyone.

Draco was sitting in one of the front cars, sighing from boredom. His 'friends' were having idle conversation, but he wasn't interested in anything that they had to say. He pulled out the laptop and booted up, only to notice that apparently the Express had internet access. It took a moment to connect, and Draco logged into the chat where he had met James. His stomach churned as he waited, and he felt himself tense as he saw that James was currently online. What should he do? Should he log off? Should he...? Too late.

Golden_Griffin: Lucky! Hey!

Green_Serpent80: Hey... Why are you talking to me?

Golden_Griffin: Look, I wanted to apologize for that night.

Green_Serpent80: So you came to your senses?

Golden_Griffin: Not exactly. You don't have to believe me, but... that wasn't me in the first place. One of my friends decided that he was going to try and pose as me to tell you I didn't want to talk to you anymore. I've missed you.

Green_Serpent80: If you ever pull anything like that again, don't expect me to be here waiting for you! I... I'm glad you're back.

Golden_Griffin: That's fair. :) Believe me, so am I. I really thought you were never going to talk to me again.

Green_Serpent80: Computer issues. And I almost didn't. I'm glad that I changed my mind though. :P

And there's the new chappie! Enjoy everyone, and thanks to EVERYONE who has reviewed! ;)
