"Out of my way! Clear it! Let's go!" The voice rang out through the train's corridor. Ginny recognized it any where; Malfoy… She began to walk toward him with her wand raised but Hermione pulled her into the compartment.

"Ginny he is so not worth it…" Ginny nodded and reached for a pumpkin pasty.

"Yeah don't go turning your back on me, going after slime like that." Harry swept a bit of frosting off her cupcake and put it on her nose.

She smiled and kissed him gently on the lips as her brother cleared his throat loudly.

But then she began to become increasingly colder so Harry put his arm around her, it helped a little but not enough for her to cease her chills.

"Oh Ron get a grip they're dating okay?" Hermione said from behind the book she was reading. "You've known for a month."

Ron rolled his eyes and retreated to finding his robes in his trunk.

But then the compartment door flew open and Ron jumped and fell sprawling onto the floor. "Very graceful Weasley. Trying to impress someone?" Malfoy drawled as he stepped into the compartment.

His eyes traveled from Ron still trying to get up as the train swayed, to Hermione glaring at him, and finally rested on Ginny curled up next to Harry as he stroked her hair.

But what Harry didn't see was the slight smile that had crossed Ginny's face when Draco had come in. Malfoy's eyes flashed when he saw Ginny.

"No one wants you here Malfoy now shove off." Harry declared standing up. Ginny looked worried as both drew their wands.

Both spells narrowly missed so Ron took the opportunity to jump up and push the confused form of Draco out the door and land in a heap in the corridor.

The entire compartment was filled with laughter as Draco turned in his tracks and ran to the other end of the train. Ginny was the only one who was aware that Draco had left a piece of parchment in her lap.

She unrolled it and read aloud: "To Miss Ginny Weasley please be kind enough to stop in to Professor McGonagall's office directly after the start of term feast."

"Wonder what she wants…" Ron said gazing out the window. "Blimey I can see Hogwarts come on you lot we better change into our robes."
