Making no money on this. Just telling a story to all my friend's
When the day finally arrived to take the train back to Hogwarts it seemed to fast. I wasn't ready and I was scared of what I was going to tell
everyone. They still didn't know about the resorting. Outside of my new circle of friends and family no one had seen me yet. I felt like I would be
sick. Wouldn't that be just wonderful . I could just imagine what people would say. ( Did you see Hermione Granger ? Yea she tossed all over the
train. ) Oh that would be, bloody brilliant ! I just need to calm my nerve's. I told myself to calm down and just breath. Max came into my room
and asked if I was ready. I had packed and repacked my trunk three time's I was sure I had everything . My wand, my shiny new Head Girl badge ,
Crooks was in his basket and I had my carry on with my robe's, a book incase I got bored and some pocket money. " Yes ! " I told him. " Good
let's go then. " He said . I couldn't help but think he was cute. He was excited to have a sister for the first time and he wanted to show me off. It
was a little embarrassing but still, it was sweet. I had never had a brother before so it was exciting for me to. I finally got to have a little of what
the Weasleys have. A sibling and a mum that loved me like Molly loved her children and a doting dad minus the muggle obsession of coarse ,
and I had already found my niche in the family. I was the resident expert on all things muggle.

Max and I headed down stairs and loaded our thing's into a black limo that was to take us to Kings Cross station. Dad had some business to attend and would
not be able to accompany us mum needed to go as well. Appearance she explained. That was something I had learned was very important in
pureblood society .We were being escorted by two large men I had seen before on our shopping trip. I had noticed them right away and mother
had told me not to point them out or draw attention to them, that the family had hired them . Dad had called them security professional's. He had
told me that he had employed this agency many time's and that they where quite good. I wondered if they were as good as the Order. I wondered
if they had followed me earlier this month when I was staying at the Leaky Caldron. Sadly I didn't have time to ask .We had to go or we would be
late. I hugged and kissed my parent's good by and we got into the black shiny limo. The two Guards didn't say anything, they were just watching
everything. Not that I could talk, so was I .
About fifteen minutes into the thirty minute drive I noticed a suspicious vehicle had been following us for a while . They were driving
a dark carry all with blacked out window's .I alerted the man in front of me. " I think we're being followed, " His head jerked up and he spoke for
the first time. " Which one ? Why do you think they're following us ?" Clearly this was a wizard who was not used to muggle tactic's.
" The large dark one with black window's, " I pointed out. "They have been with us for a while, they're staying back but they're sticking right
with us. Big car's set up high enough that they have a good view of the car's around them. Also the window's are blacked out so we can't see
them." I said . They were all looking at me taking in what I said. I then told them. The good
news is that our windows are blacked out as well. So they can't be sure how many of us there are or who is present " They were getting nervous
now. " How do you Know all of this ? " " one of the men ask me. He sounded angry.
I have some experience with these thing's that's all. Just stay calm I told him." " That's my line kid . " He returned . He still looked angry.

Max spoke for the first time he sounded scared. " What do we do ? " I turned to him. This was my element I new what I was doing . " Max give
me Burtrim . " " Why ? " What are you going do to him ? " He asked . I smiled at him " I'm not going to hurt your owl Max. I am going to send a
message ahead to some friends that you and I have company and that we will be needing help." The body guard then asked. " What friend's ? " I
told him " Aruror's ! " " I know several . " That seemed to shut him up .I quickly wrote the note and as soon as the Limo stopped
for a traffic signal Max let Burtrim out. The rest of the ride was tense the guards asking about my Auror friends . The driver was told to keep
his eyes open in case they tried to wreck our car. To say that upset him would have been an understatement. Security professional's ! What a joke,
these guy's were panicking like Ron faced with a acromantula. I was seeing what a big difference there was between these men and a
seasoned Order member. Ginny was more mentally prepared to handle this sort of thing.

The rest of the ride went very quickly and before we new it we were pulling in. I started to point out, my friends to the guard's. I told Max .
" Have your wand in your hand ready just in case, grab your carry on. You can use it to block yourself if you have to. " He just nodded his head
and did as he was told, he was white. " Max ! We run strait for the platform the guards will move with us, the other's will take care of the people
Following us. " " Ok but, what about our stuff ? " He ask. " We'll get it later ." I told him. With that we had come to a stop Kingsley was opening
the door and we jumped out quickly. It went just as I had told Max it would.. Kingsly and the guards were moving with us. We hadn't gotten far
when a man grabbed my arm ruffle. I heard a sound. A pop but I didn't know what it was. Kingsley stunned him, " MOVE, MOVE, MOVE ! "
Said Kingsly . We were running now. I could hear the sound of people screaming behind us but I couldn't look . I was scanning the crowd. I
spotted someone, " One o clock ! " I yelled . Kingsley turned smoothly with the skill of a trained soldier and dropped him. We kept running.
We made the platform we could see the train. We weren't done Kingsley had us in the train. In a compartment with the shades drawn. He turned
and told us to lock the door and not to open it until he came back. The guards left with him .One guard we noticed through the compartment
window stayed close to us. Standing watch.

Max was pale . He looked at me and asked. " Were those death eater's ? " " I don't know. " I told him . " " What now ? What do we do ? " He asked
me. Strange I was calm. I can be calm as people are chasing me trying to, What ? Kidnap me ? Yet I was about to toss my cookie's only an
hour ago over teenage drama.
Where is the logic in that ? Oh well, I guess I can't be the one to make sense all of the time. I focused on calming my brother. That's what big
sister's are supposed to do right ?A little while later and the last whistle was sounding and the train was starting to move. No one had come back
to tell us it was alright. What was going on ? What was happening ? Max was voicing the same concern's out loud. I told him we just had to wait
someone would come. We sat in silence waiting for a while but after watching the country side go by for an hour or so. We both decided that no
one was coming for now. Max and I both wanted to go find our friends but we were told not to open the door and Nether of us thought it was a
good idea to disobey at lest not yet. We both took out our book's another interest we shared. That's when I discovered it. I gasp in horror. Max
jumped up from his seat . " WHAT ? " WHAT'S WRONG ? " I held up my book , he just looked at it " What is it ? " He asked me. " It's a bullet
from a muggle gun I told him. It was embedded in my book. That was the pop I had heard when the man grabbed my arm as we entered the
station earlier. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. My book saved my life. I was stunned , we both just looked at it. Someone tried to shoot
me. To kill me like a muggle. I'm not sure how much time past. We both just stared at it.
XXXX
Finally Max spoke. He said " If they tried to kill you with that thing, like a muggle, then that must mean that they were muggle. Then they couldn't
have gotten through the barrier. Only wizard's can go through it." I was surprised but answered. " Good point Max I hadn't thought of that, but
why would muggles go to all that trouble to kill me ? They had to at lest be working for wizards and they can get through the barrier . " That
seemed to deflate him. I felt bad but I had to tell him the truth. Lie's get people killed. I got up and peeked out the compartment window. The
guard was gone. I told Max. I also saw the food trolley coming . I was starving so I new Max must be to. Well ,I thought .We have to eat, I will
open the door and we will be quick. I will stand guard why Max buy's I decided . I took a moment to go over it with my brother , and we were
ready when our turn came. We were going to be quick . I ask the trolley lady if she new what was going on.
and she told us that the train was, under lockdown no one had been aloud out of their compartment's but it had been lifted now .She told us
that there had been some sort of attack back at the station and they don't know who was behind it yet. So everyone was on high alert and that
the train was being followed by Auror's on broom stick. With our purchases made we shut the door and locked it again. We sat together eating
our pumpkin pasty's and other assorted goodie's and thinking about everything the trolley lady had said. At lest now we could go see our friend's
I was getting nervous again.

We finished eating and decided it was time to look for our friends. Max ask me " So are you going to go find Pot head ? " " Max ! That's not very
nice . " I said. He just shrugged and gave me one of those evil little Slytherin smirk's. " Can't help it he's a Gryffindor . " He said. " Yea and so
was I until a few week's ago. I told him when another deeper voice cut in. " Yes but your social status has improved considerable since then. " I
spun around to see Draco Malfoy in all his Pureblood glory sneering at me. " Careful Malfoy wouldn't want your face t freeze like that now
would you ? " I said ,and he quickly returned . " Even if it did you'd still want me Loyce ! " I could feel my face getting warm. I so wanted to
tear him apart and tell him just what I thought of him, but I kept my cool and then I saw the reason for his attitude. I was glad I had kept my
mouth shut. Pansy Parkinson came walking up to me like the queen of the train. " Well , Well what have we here, the filthy little mud blood that
wasn't ! " She had a sickly crooning sound to her voice that made me ill and I was further sickened to notice that she was two, maybe three
inches taller than me. I hate being short ! Well, at lest I still had more up top than she did and I don't just mean brains, it's a well known fact
that Pansy puts socks in her bra because she's as flat as a board. " Drop dead Pansy ! " I said . I tried to just walk away but it was as if Pansy had
just been waiting for an excuse because she went into a very ugly screeching fit ! " How dare you, ! You gutter trash nobody, ! You can't talk to
me like that, ! You don't get to just walk away from me,!" I was a little shocked but not surprised at her out burst. I noticed Malfoy , Blaise, and
Millie were all in the hall now wands discretely at the ready. I tried to keep Max behind me but he wasn't having any of it. I looked her right in
the eyes and answered her calmly, but with steal in my voice. " I am Head Girl and I will do what ever I please. If you have a problem with that to
Bad ! " If I thought Pansy was having a melt down before it was nothing compared to look her smooshed pug face took on next. She raised her
wand but what ever she had planed to say next was cut of by Expeleramus from behind me I spun around surprised to see Harry standing there.
Ron and Ginny just behind him. Ginny had a murderous look on her face. She yelled Twenty point's from Slytherin for trying to hex the Head
Girl. Pansy wanted to keep fighting but without a wand and the fact that the other's started to return to there compartment's grumbling about king Potter. She realized she
had no back up and gave up. Harry tossed her wand at her. Throwing one more comment over her shoulder as she left. " This isn't over blood traitor ! " The door to her
compartment slamming behind her .
