A/N: This is only a short chapter, more of a filler than anything, but hopefully they'll be a new one soon. Thanks for reading, please review Z-Nugget xx
They didn't use boats to get to the castle this year, apparently that was saved for the first years. Instead they travelled by horseless carriages, that for the life of her Mia couldn't figure out how it moved. Well, besides the most obvious thing of magic. But that seemed too obvious.
There was only enough room for four people in the carriage, which was perfectly fine for Mia, but not Pansy apparently. Draco got in first, obviously, with his two goons following. That left the two girls standing outside glaring at each other.
"What's stopping us?" The blonde questioned from inside the carriage, sounding impatient. That was a very good question, what was keeping them so long? If Pansy would just say, take another carriage and go away, then nothing would be taking them. The only problem came that after several seconds of glaring at each other, the wallflower starting to step forward, only to be stopped by Draco, who was now also looking impatient, holding his hand out to Mia. Well, she didn't need to be told twice, and after offering the other girl a rather fake smile, the younger took Draco's hand and hopped up into the carriage.
The boats had been quite fun last year, what with the chance of falling in and watching others worry about getting wet, but the carriages were boring. Why couldn't everyone go on the boats every year? Then again, they're either need to get a lot more boats or it would take hours just to get everyone across. Not the mention the older kids would probably push each other in for the fun of it… Maybe the horseless carriages were a good idea after all.
"How traumatised were you after weeks of the Weasels?" The blonde asked not long after Mia had sat down. It gained snickers off the dogs, which she managed to silence with a glare. The Weasleys were nice people, atleast three of them were her friends and she wasn't about to let anyone say anything bad about them. She didn't care whether they had a feud or not.
"It was nice, Ginny's parents are lovely" Ok, that was a low blow. The look that flickered across the blondes features proved that, and the raven haired girl instantly regretted it. That look of pain at mentioning how much nicer her friends' parents were to his really wasn't worth shutting him up.
"I'm sorry" She whispered, hoping the other two were too idiotic to understand anything. They probably didn't even hear her. She wanted to apologise for leaving Draco's all together in the holiday, whether Lucius had come back or not, it mustn't be nice to be in such a big house almost alone. But that would have to wait till later. Draco didn't reply however, and sat staring off out of the window. Mia really wished she could read minds right about now…
By the time the carriage stopped however, Draco's usual smirk was back in place, and grew even more as news of a dementor attack on the train (So that was what the black thing was!) and Harry fainting reached him.
