A/N: ~I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!~

Well here we go again, R&R if you so wish. On with the magic!

On September 1st, the Malfoys went to Kings Cross. They got there at 10:27 and they were wondering where Hermione was when she snuck up behind them and tapped the boys' shoulders. They jumped about a foot in the air. Hermione laughed at the pair.

"Hey guys! What's up?" she asked.

"The sky," replied Draco.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Dude, that joke is getting old."

"Anyway, I finally decided on a name for my owl," Hermione showed them the black owl she bought at Diagon Alley with them. "She's named Midnight."

"I think it fits her perfectly," Harry and Draco said at the same time.

"We should probably be getting on the train now," Harry said after looking at his watch. "It's 10:48."

"How do we get on the platform?" Hermione asked.

"Run at the barrier between nine and ten," Draco answered.

A few minutes later, the trio were searching for an empty compartment. They found one, and sat down.

"Which house do you suppose you'll be in?" Hermione asked.

"I'll probably be in Slytherin," Draco said.

"I'm hoping for Gryffindor, like my parents," Harry said. "What about you?"

"Probably Ravenclaw," Hermione said.

Suddenly, the compartment door burst open, and behind it was a red-headed boy.

"Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full," he said.

"Sure," Harry said.

The boy put his trunk away, and sat down.

"I'm Ron Weasley. Who are you?"Ron said.

Rude much? Harry thought. "I'm Harry Potter," he said.

"I'm Draco Malfoy, and my family adopted Harry," Draco said.

"I'm Hermione Granger, and Drake and Harry are my friends," Hermione said.

Ron's mouth was hanging open slightly. "You're Harry Potter?"

"Hermione didn't believe it either when I told her," Harry said, and showed him the lightning-shaped scar.

Ron recovered, and the four sat talking and laughing until the lunch trolley came. Harry bought a lot of sweets to share with his brother and friends, though Ron devoured most of them. The train ride to Hogwarts was a lot of fun for the four friends. Harry, though, had devised a plan that would have to wait until the sorting for everyone to see.

A/N: mostly in not going to post her authors notes unless they have important information, so don't worry, you won't miss anything that's important. I changed a few things in this chapter, a bit of wording change and one or two line changes. As well as the usual layout/spelling/grammar every once in a while. Till next time
