It was a grey, dull day when September the first arrived. Both Harry and Remus stayed locked in the pantry the night before just in case vengeful brothers or cousins attacked them in their sleep. Remus sat there gulping down tea and keeping his breakfast very close to himself knowing Sirius might attempt to poison it. It didn't help that Tonks came in and kissed him on the cheek.

"Where were you last night" she whispered hotly in his ear. "I was waiting for hours before I fell asleep"

"Your darling cousin is attempting to murder me for stealing your innocence. And the Weasley brothers were trying to kill Harry for the same thing. We ended up playing go fish in the pantry while eating all the biscuits and cakes."

Tonks sat down and looked up at the glaring Sirius. "You know Siri if you wanted to kill who stole my innocence you should kill Charlie Weasley. He was my first. Remus is my third"

Sirius choked on the piece of bacon he was eating, Mrs Weasley smacked him on the back.

"You better not hurt my Charlie" she hissed

"And I know full and well that Harry and Ginny have gone no further than first base. Ginny's been complaining about it"

Harry turned bright red and the four Weasley brothers that were there began to choke. Fleur looked disgusted.

"Tonks I don't want to know what my leetle brother has been up to. It's too…… too…..

"Disgusting" Bill said

"Oui, Môn Cheri"

They were on the platform, Sirius was in his Padfoot disguise running round and barking at random people, Tonks was standing nearby resting her head on Remus's shoulder, Mad-eye Moody was standing there glaring at people as they walked by.

"goodbye leetle brother" Fleur said kissing Harry's cheek and pulling him into a long hug "write to me, look after Ginny and stay out of trouble" she moved on to Ginny "look after him and do make sure that he stays out of trouble"

Mrs Weasley held the three Weasley boys in a tight embrace "stay out of trouble and if I hear one word I swear to god I will write a thousand howlers." She then pulled Hermione, Ginny and Harry into a hug "do be good dears"

"Goodbye guys" Tonks said hugging them all.

"Take care, good luck on the OWLs and the NEWTs" Remus said

"Constant vigilance kids" Moody said.

They got on to the train and as it slowly started to move they leaned out of the window and waved goodbye. Soon the platform disappeared.

"Well me and George got to go, business associates to see and all that" Fred said picking his trunk up and went off with George following him.

"I and Hermione have to go to the prefect meeting" Ron whispered looking like he would rather jump out of the train.

"Well see ya, me and Ginny are going to find a carriage" Harry said taking Ginny's hand.

They walked along trying to find an empty carriage.

"Look he has the nerve to come back!"

"I heard he killed Cedric"

"I bet she's he's next victim"

"Ginny Weasley should dump him"

"Liar"

"Prat"

"Slut"

"Ignore them Harry" Ginny whispered

"I'm trying to Gin, but that git has just called you a slut"

"Leave this to me" she said winking. "all right you lot" she shouted "you believe the ministry if you want to but no one and I mean NO ONE should talk about me or Harry behind our backs if you have a problem say it to our faces"

No one said anything they just stared at them as they walked past.

"Hello Ginevra, Harry. I thought I heard you yelling Ginny."

The turned to see Luna stretched out on the seat her legs on Neville's lap.

"Hey Luna, Neville. Mind if we sit with you?" Harry said

"Of course" Neville said happily

Harry and Ginny sat down opposite them. The minutes ticked by in a peaceful silence, Neville was gently massaging Luna's feet, and Luna was reading her father's magazine, while Harry and Ginny curled up together.

"Hey Harry guess what I got for my birthday?"

"Another rememball?" Harry asked

"Nah, though I do need one, I lost another one last year"

"It's a good thing you did" Luna said "rememballs take away memories and send them to the ministry so they can use them against you, that's probably why you keep forgetting things dear"

Neville smiled and quickly kissed Luna's hand. "No I got this new plant called a

Mimbulus Mimbletonia"

"It's a very interesting plant" Luna said "you're very lucky to get one Neville"

"Shall I show you one of its defence mechanisms? Luna and me discovered it last week when we were….." he trailed off blushing.

"When we were making out and accidentally knocked off the bedside table" Luna said calmly causing Harry and Ginny to chuckle.

"I'll just show you" Neville mumbled passing getting up and pulling out a grey plant, he pulled out a quill and poked the plant with it. Suddenly green smelly liquid spurted out covering everyone in it.

Ginny laughed again at the look of Harry's face. "Aw poor baby" she teased wiping some of the stinksaps off of Harry's face and kissed the spot she cleaned. No one noticed the Asian girl watching from the outside……

It was roughly an hour later when Ron and Hermione came in. Ron threw himself into the nearest seat and helped himself to a chocolate frog muttering darkly about Malfoy. The journey continued uneventfully, but when they go to the carriages Harry spotted the dark skeletal horses……. Neither Ginny or Ron or Hermione can seen them.

"You're not insane" Luna said dreamily "I can see them too"

"No offence, but that doesn't comfort me much"

"I can see them too" Neville whispered "people who's seen someone die see them. I don't know they're name but I've been seeing them since I started Hogwarts"
