Rylins P.O.V

I woke up with a jolt. I glanced outside and by the looks of it we still had a few hours until we made it. "This window isn't too comfortable." I scowled at the window. "You could use me as a pillow." Fred suggested jokingly. "You know what? I think I will." I hopped up and plopped next to Fred putting my head in his lap. Smiling up at him I said "Thanks buddy!" He smiled as I giggled. "No problem pal." He looked out the window while absent mindedly stroking my hair. This made me fall asleep ten times faster.

Freds P.O.V

She looked so cute when she slept. And she kept smiling and snuggling closer which made me wonder what she was dreaming about. "So George, you excited for school?"

"You mean our gigantic playground? Yes, very. What do you want to do to the first years this time?"

"Hmmm. Good question. How about we switch their schedules around? Everyone knows how panicky first years are about their schedules. Make them all late or end up in the wrong classroom."

George put some thought into my idea.

"It's a start." He smiled. "And will you stop stroking your girlfriends hair? It's getting creepy."

"Hey! She isn't my girlfriend. And why? It's helping her sleep isn't it? She is so tired all the time. Have you noticed that? She deserves to sleep."

George had noticed. He knew as much as I did that Rylin was always extremely tired. Especially in the beggining of the year. So I continued to stroke her hair as she slept.

Rylins Dream (And her P.O.V afterwards)

My mom was on vacation from the ministry and spending time with me and dad. We were all smiling and laughing and just enloying eachothers company. There was no anger. No hatred. Nothing. Just love and happiness. Like a family should be. Then suddenly it was just me and mom. Walking through the woods that are behind our house. "So how do you and your father get along?"

"We are great! We rarely fight and we love spending time together. I mean it would be nice to have you around more, but i'm happy enough." I smiled meaning every word. I was just feeling pure joy. We laughed and talked more about moms job at the ministry and about school and life in general. I was having a great time when-

End dream

I gasped and ooked around slowly, realizing I was still in Freds lap. 'Only in dreams Rylin, only in dreams' I sighed. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost. About ten minutes away." George replied. I was too lazy to sit up and get out of Freds lap, so I didn't. He didn't seem to mind too much. "Have you guys thought of any pranks for the first years?"

"Well we think we are going to switch around their schedules. Make them Miss classes and go to wrong classes."

"That seems so complicated."

"What do you mean?"

"It would take forever to get a hold of ALL the first years schedules..."

"Good point. Do you have any better ideas?"

"Why not just take Harrys invisibility cloak and make them think they are haunted? It's a lot simpler. Terrorize them. It's worth a shot." I smiled innocently. Fred got really close to me. "You really are an evil little girl aren't you?" I stuck my tongue out at him. He smiled and leaned back. "I'm not little." I mumbled.

"Yes you are dear." Right as he closed his eyes the train came to a stop. "WE'RE HERE!" I yelled and jumped up excitedly. Apparently too excitedly. I turned around to see Fred doubled over groaning in pain and George laughing hysterically. I gasped and asked innoently, "Did I do that?" This made George laugh even harder. "Shut up mate! It's not funny!"

"It's hilarious!"

Fred groaned again and I snuck out of the corridor.

No ones P.O.V

Rylin grabbed her luggage and ran off the train. She was very excited to be back. But there was one thing she was not excited for at all. Draco Malfoy. Unfortunatley, Rylin was forced to socialize with this git because of the stupid "Pureblood" relations. Also, her father loved the Malfoys. he even tried to convince his wife to allow an arranged marrige for Rylin and Draco. Luckily forRylin, her mother was a strong believer in love and forbade any arranged marriges. She wanted her daughter to be able to choose who she wanted to get married to. Rylin was very grateful for this. She hoped she didn't have to see much of Malfoy this year. Of course with how her luck is, she found herself face to face with him when he, Crabbe, and Goyle placed themselves in the carrige she had sat in. Draco across from her, Goyle next to her, and Crabbe next to Draco.

"Get out."

"Not friendly."

"GET OUT MALFOY!" She yelled this time. "Well we can't do that. The carrige is moving. Which means if we jumped out, someone would get hurt. And everyone knows Rylin Night couldn't hurt a fly." He smirked obviously proud of himself. "I can make an exception." She said through clenched teeth and leaned forward threateningly. His smirk went away but he too leaned forward. "I'm not afraid of you Night." Now it was her turn to smirk.

"Oh but you should be."

"Is that a threat?"

"Oh no no no. Of course not. It's advice." She had no idea where this wave of courage came from, but she liked it. "Stay away from me Malfoy, i'm different. And trust me, you won't like the new me." Her eyes flashed with excitement. She loved this! She felt so strong. Like nothing could knock her down. Draco leaned even further, their faces only inches apart.

"I never liked the old you. And I don't know where this whole bravery thing came from, but you better back down Rylin Night. Learn your place." Rylin absolutely LOATHED when people told her to 'Learn her place'. Her cheeks flushed red as anger built up inside her.

"I know my place! I believe it is you who needs to learn his! Like I said before, my family is just as powerful as yours DO NOT SPEAK TO ME LIKE YOU ARE SUPERIOR I AM NOT BELOW YOU!" The poor girl had lost it. She had finally snapped. Tears of anger threatened to fall but she wouldn't let them. She refused to let Draco know he had gotten to her.

"Don't be stupid Night. Everyone knows that the Malfoys are a much more respected family. Your mother already practically turned your family into blood traitors. Becoming friends with muggles and mudbloods. Even the Weasleys. It's disgusting!" Rylin slapped Draco across the face hard.

"Do. Not. EVER. Speak about my mother that way!" She grabbed her things and jumped out of the now stopped carrige and made her way to the school. Wiping away the tears that had managed to slide down her cheeks, she frantically searched for any signs of the twins. Finally spotting the abnormally tall brothers, she ran to them and told them about the fight with Draco. The angry blonde raged until she finally felt better and took her seat in between the two red heads as supper was about to begin in the Great Hall. Finally, she was home.
