"Goodbye Harry dear." Smiled Mrs Weasley, wrapping her arms around the boy in a bone crushing hug.

"Bye Mrs Weasley, thank you for inviting me around for Summer, it was brilliant." Harry said, grinning back at the woman,

"It was my pleasure Harry. Will you come round for Christmas?" She asked,

"I'd love too!" Harry grinned, Mrs Weasley turned to Neville and Hermione,

"would you two like to come as well?" She asked, Neville nodded enthusiastically, but Hermione bit her lip,

"Sorry Mrs Weasley, but my parents want me with them for christmas..." Mrs Weasley nodded and Hermione smiled at the woman,

"Perhaps we can meet in the station back." The woman said, and Hermione nodded. Mrs Weasley turned to Ginny, hugging her tight she said,

"have a good time, don't forget to write. Don't get in trouble." Before long, the Ravenclaw Four were sitting in a compartment, having said goodbye to Ron as he went to look for Damian.

"I wonder who the new Defense Teacher is." Said Harry, Ginny and Neville shrugged, but Hermione's ears tinged pink,

"Haven't you heard?" She said excitedly, "Gilderoy Lockhart has agreed to take the position, he's a complete hero and," she paused, face flushing further, "winner of the Wich Weakly Smile award." Harry gave her a wierd look and Ginny grinned,

"Hermione's in love, Hermione's in love!" She sang, Neville let out a bark of laughter,

"So that's why you decorated the inside cover Of the Defence book with hearts..." He said, grinning.

"Neville!" Hermione squealed, as the compartment was thrown into new rounds of laughter. Suddenly, the door slid open with a crash. Ron stood at the entrance. Face flushed and scowling.

"can I sit with you guys?" He asked, "Damian chucked me out, said he didn't hang out with traitors, whatever that means." Harry nodded and Ron slid into one of the available seats.

"so..." He said, "are any of you trying out for the Quidditch Team?" He asked, Neville paled,

"I think I'll take flying a miss, after all, don't want Mr Potter to deduct more points from me for falling of a broom." Ron frowned,

"what do you mean?" He asked,

"On our first flying lesson with the Slytherins, Neville lost control of his broom, flew up before the rest of us and fell. Harry flew up and caught Neville before he hit the ground. He said to Mr Potter, 'Neville could've died!' And Professor Potter deducted twenty points from Ravenclaw because Neville should've listened to instructions." Hermione explained, Ron gaped.

"That's awful, you should complain to the school!" Cried Ron, Hermione nodded,

"We were going to, but Harry stopped us. He said it was all part of the plan." Neville said.

"What plan?" Ron asked Harry, who grinned,

"you'll see..." He said mysteriously. There conversation was interrupted by a yell. Harry and co slid open the compartment door. Down the corridor, hung Malfoy, upside down. It didn't take a genius to figure out who was behind it, there, wand raised, stood Damian Potter.

"How do you feel Malfoy?" He smirked,

"Disgusted." Malfoy sneered, "that you attacked me from behind, aren't you a Gryfindor Potter? Now let me down.

"Demicorpus." Harry snapped, flicking his wand, Malfoy returned to the ground.

"Thanks Black." Said Malfoy, dusting down his uniform, Damian's nostrils flared,

"Stay out of this Black," he hissed, "Levicorpus." Malfoy moved out of the way of the spell with ease. The Gryfindor sent a barrage of spells their way. None of them hitting.

"Levicorpus." Harry called, Damian let out a yell as he was suddenly hung by his ankles.

"Demi-" he started,

"Expelliarmus" Harry cut in. Catching Damian's wand he smirked, before placing it on the floor near Damian, who couldn't reach it.

"Bye Brother Dear." He said as he walked off.

The four children sat at the Ravenclaw Table when the doors opened and in came Damian Potter, who was being escorted by his father to the Gryfindor table. When he sat down he nudged Ron sharply and the boy turned away.

Soon the first years were being sorted and Harry rested his head on the table and shut his eyes. Someone sat in the empty seat beside him and said,

"You shouldn't sleep through the sorting, your head will get infested with Nargles." Harry glanced up at her with interest,

"What are Nargles?" He asked curiously, The girl smiled dreamily,

"Mischevious creatures that fly around causing havoc." She said. One of the new first years, Zacharias Smith, sneered.

"What a load of old rubbish!" He said, "doesn't your dad write the Quibbler?" the girl nodded, "that magazine never has anything worth reading. All made up." Harry glared at the boy,

"Was she talking to you?" He snapped,

"She probably wasn't talking to anyone, that girl's mental." Smith sneered. Harry flicked his wand at the boy who flinched, then smirked when he realised the spell had had no effect. He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it and pointed to his throat indignantly, he couldn't speak. Harry smiled,

"My names Harry Black," he smiled, "That's Neville, Hermione and Ginny." Luna smiled and shook his hand, and nodded at Neville, Hermione and Ginny's chorused 'hellos'.

"My name is Luna Lovegood." She smiled. Soon Ginny hand Hermione had moved to the girl's other side and the five children were talking animatedly, Luna's cheeks were flushed at being the center of attention.

Damian scowled, watching the five children.

"Why can't you just leave them alone?" Ron snapped,

"Why are you on their side all of a sudden?" Damian hissed, "Getting all pally with the Ravenclaws, what about your house? I'm the Boy Who Lived, for Merlin's sake, you should be on my side."

"Their my friends." Ron snapped, "And they treat me better then you've ever treated me!" Damian narrowed his eyes.

"Fine." He snapped, "be like that, but don't come crawling back to me after I defeat the Dark Lord." Ron clenched his fists,

"Oh believe me, I won't."
