A/N: Yay! Another chapter! So anyways, this will be a short chapter. Just a filler basically. But something very shocking happens at the end.

"Do have all of your books?" Molly asked.

"Yes," I said.

"All of your notebooks?" Molly checked.

"Yes," I said.

"Alright," Molly said, "Be safe and keep an eye on Fred and George for me."

I smiled and nodded. I waved goodbye and followed Rosaline, Harry, Ron and Hermione to the train. On the way we saw Malfoy with his friends, Crabbe and Goyle.

"I'm surprised the Ministry is still letting you walk around free, Potter," Malfoy sneered, "Better enjoy it while you can. I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name on it."

Harry furiously charged at him, but Ron held him back before he could attack.

"What did I tell you?" Malfoy said to Goyle and Crabbe.

"Just stay away from me!" Harry yelled.

They soon walked away, leaving us in peace. I wasn't going to enjoy this year as much.

We found an empty compartment and sat down. Soon the train left the station and we were on our way to Hogwarts. We didn't say much on the train. Harry kept looking out the window, Hermione was holding her cat and Ron was just being a pig and eating everything. Rosaline was reading a book, leaving me with nothing to do. I left the compartment, and went to find George and Fred. I found them in a compartment with one other person. I opened the door and suddenly an explosion went off. Smoke started to spill out, making me cough terribly.

"Sorry," George said, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I coughed, "Just dandy. What are you doing in here?"

"Testing our products," Fred smiled.

"Lovely," I said sarcastically.

I sat down next between George and Fred. Across from me was a 7th year Gryffindor. He playfully smirked at me.

"Hello there," he said, "I'm Lee Jordan. And you are?"

"Aaralyn," I said, "And George's girlfriend."

His smile quickly went away. George smirked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Sorry mate," George said, "Better luck next time."

I giggled and scooted closer to George.

"Oh yuck," Fred scoffed, "Now they're going to be all lovey-dovey."

"Sod off," George and I said in unison.

I kissed George goodbye and met up with Hermione, Harry, Ron and Rosaline again. The last carriage had already pulled away, leaving us to wait for the next one. Neville soon happily joined us.

"Hey guys," Neville said.

"Neville," we all said.

Harry turned around, as if he heard something, and stared in shock.

"Do you see that?" Harry said.

We all turned around, but saw nothing but a carriage.

"See what?" Ron asked.

"That thing pulling the carriage," Harry said.

"Nothing is pulling the carriage," Hermione said, "It's pulling itself like it always has."

We walked up to the carriage to see a girl reading a magazine upside down.

"You're not going mad," she said and lowered her magazine, "I can see them, too. You're just as sane as I am."

She had very light blonde hair, almost white. Her skin was pale, too. She wore crazy clothes and odd jewelry. She reminded me of Cassie; wacky with colors. We got on the carriage and sat there awkwardly, waiting to be pulled away to Hogwarts.

"Everyone this is Loony Love-" Hermione stopped herself, "Luna Lovegood."

People called her loony? She didn't seem loony to me.

"What an interesting necklace," Hermione said.

"It's a charm actually," Luna said, "Keeps away the Nargles."

Nargles? What are those?

Everyone glanced at each other awkwardly.

"Hungry," Luna said, "I hope there's pudding."

The carriage started to move towards the school.

"What's a Nargle?" Ron whispered.

"No idea," Hermione said.

It felt nice to return to Hogwarts. I missed the people, the classes and the teachers (not including Snape). It was better than the outside world; a whole lot better.

Rosaline and I sat down at the Ravenclaw table in the Great Hall. Luna was also in Ravenclaw, so we sat down next to her. I looked over at the Gryffindor table to see George smiling at me. I smiled back and waved.

"Your attention please!" Dumbledore said, "A few announcements. We are pleased to welcome back Professor Grubblyplank who will be filling in for Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Hagrid is on temporary also wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Umbridge."

He gestured to a small lady in pink. She looked like a pink garden gnome. She had a sickeningly sweet giggle and a stupid perky smile. She made me want to choke myself to death.

"I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the Professor good luck," Dumbledore continued, "As usual, our caretaker Mr. Filch has asked me to-"

He was interrupted by someone softly clearing their throat. Everyone turned their heads to Umbridge.

"Thank you Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome," she sweetly said, "And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me."

What smiling faces?

"I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends," she smiled.

"She's joking right?" I whispered to Rosaline.

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be a vital importance," Umbridge said, "Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historic school-"

She nodded to Dumbledore and all I could think about was this: SUCK-UP!

"-Progress for sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved," Umbridge continued, "Perfect what can be perfected and prove practices that ought to be prohibited."

She giggled which made me want to gag even more. There was the faintest applause and Umbridge sat back down.

"Thank you Professor Umbridge," Dumbledore said, "That really was most illuminating."

"What the hell?" I said.

"I know, right?" Rosaline said.

"You know," I said, "I think I might hate her more than Snape."

"Don't say 'hate,' Aaralyn," Rosaline said, "You don't even know her."

"Fine," I said, "Then I dislike her with a fiery, burning passion."

Rosaline's POV

Our first class of the day was Defense Against the Dark Arts, with Umbridge. I knew that I wasn't supposed to hate people I didn't know, but she did disgust me very much. She wasn't exactly the best choice for the Dark Arts teacher. And please note I was being sarcastic. Of course she shouldn't be teaching this class; she's the exact opposite!

I told Aaralyn that I would meet her there, since I still wasn't ready. I rushed out of the common room and hurried to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class room. I was still putting my books in bag while I was walking. I took a left, not looking up from my bag. Which unfortunately made me bump into someone. I started to fall back when a pair of strong arms caught me. I slowly looked up and was shocked. It was Draco Malfoy. He helped me up and then picked up a book that was on the ground.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he handed me my Potions book.

I nodded cautiously.

Is this some kind of joke?

I put my book in my bag and started to walk away.

"See you around, Rosaline," he said.

I stopped and turned around. He smirked and continued to walk to his class.

"What the hell was that?" I asked.

Draco Malfoy was being...nice?

A/N: Hehehe (smile deviously). Didn't see that one, did you? Tell me what you think in the reviews.
