"Mikey I swear this isn't funny!" I say chasing him through out manor. 

"But Y/n dear," he teases, "Draco can't stop thinking about you!"

"Stop it!" I say, "give me back my letter!"

"Oh but the kiss!" He mocks, "it was new and exciting! Made him forget everything!"

"Micheal stop!" I scream tackling him to the ground. I wrestle it out of his hands and fold up the letter. I stand up and dust of my clothes.

"You have that boy whipped," He says standing up. I shove him back down causing Ms. Claden to walk down stairs.

"You two cut it out," She says.

"He's being a dick!" I say.

"I'm just trying to be a good big brother," He says, "and she attacked me."

"You wouldn't give me my letter!" I scream.

"Shut it!" Ms. Claden yells, "now you two have to get a move on if you want to get everything in time."

"Fine," I mumble. I walk up to the fireplace and grab a fistfull of floo powder. "Diagon Alley!" 

*****

 "There everything," I say sticking my tongue out at him, "now I'm going to the Leaky Cauldron to meet up with Hermione and the Weasleys."

"Oh I'll join," He says, "I've got nothing better to do."

"Great," I groan. We walk down to the Leaky Cauldron and are meet with screaming once we walk inside. 

"I'm warning you, Hermione. Keep that beast away from Scabbers, or I'll turn it into a tea cozy," Ron yells holdibg scabbers. Ron had gotten taller. More evened out. Except his hair. He was growing it out again. It kinda looks like a bad mullet.

"It's a cat, Ronald. What do you expect? It's in his nature," Hermione says holding an adorable orange cat. Her hair had gone from less frizzy to curly. She also had evened out a bit. She was quite pretty. To be fair they both were quite attractive.

"I'll be getting a drink," Mikey whispers.

"Fine," I say. He slips out from behind me and walks to the bar. Damn teenagers.

"A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks like a pig with hair," Ron says.

"That's rich.... coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush," Hermione says.

"Now now children play nice," I say as I join them.

"Y/n!"  They yell.

"Hey!" I say. I hug them both awkwardly as they hold their pets. Then I pet the cat. "Oh my look at him."

"His names Crookshanks," Hermione says.

"Don't tell me your on her side!" Ron yells.

"Sorry Ron, I'm a cat person," I say.

"Whatever," Ron says. He looks behind me and smiles, "Harry."

"Harry," Hermione says. I turn to see him and smile.

"Hey," I say.

*****

"Egypt. What's it like?"  Harry asks.

"Brilliant. Loads of old stuff...like mummies, tombs, even Scabbers enjoyed himself," Ron says.

"Egyptians used to worship cats," Hermione adds.

"Along with the dung beetle," Ron says.

"Play nice," I say to them.

"Not flashing that clipping again?" Fred asks.

"I haven't shown anyone," Ron says.

"No, not a soul," George teases, "Not unless you count Tom."

"The day maid."

"Night maid."

"Cook."

"The bloke who fixed the toilet."

"Harry!" Molly says joining us, "Y/n!"

"Hello," I say.

"Mrs. Weasley," Harry says.

"Good to see you, dear," She says.

"Good to see you," Harry says.

"You two got everything?" She asks.

"Yes," I say, "Mikey has it over there."

"Yes," Harry says. She starts talking to just Harry and I turn to the twins. They kinda got attractive. They all did. I kinda felt inferior. 

"Hey boys," I say, "how was Egypt?"

"Meh," They say in unison.

"You two would think it was meh," I say.

"What about you?" Fred asks, "what did you do?"

"I study," I say, "because that was my fathers dying wish was to make me suffer." They chuckle and I nod. "You think I'm joking," I say, "my tutor made me read spell books for like six hours a day."

"Jeez," George says.

"What did Mikey have to do?" Fred asks.

"Nothing," I say, "I get to sit and study. And he got to do whatever he wanted."

"Wow," Ron says.

"Yeah," I say.

"Harry, wonder if I might have a word?" Mr. Weasley asks. Mikey sits by me and smirks at the kids.

"You tell them?" He asks.

"No and shut up!" I say.

"Tell us what?" Fred asks.

"Y/n got herself a bo-" He says before I slap my hand over his mouth.

"A bow?" Ron asks. Mikey licks my hand and I pull it away.

"Ew!" I exclaim wiping my hand on my shirt.

"A boyfriend," He resumes, "she got herself a boyfriend."

"Who?!" Hermione and Ginny ask excitedly. I sigh.

"I didn't get myself a boyfriend okay," I say. Hermione rolls her eyes.

"Thats what she says," Mikey says, "but he's being dying to see her all summer since she kissed him at the station at Hogwarts."

"What who?!" Ginny asks.

"No one," I say.

"Seriously who?" Ron asks. Mikey places his elbows on the table and uses his palms to support his head.

"30 seconds until I tell them," He says.

"There is nothing to tell I'm not dating him," I say to Mikey. He looks at me then them. Signalling he was going to spill it.

"Its Malfoy," He says.

"He's lying!" Hermione says, "no way."

"Well about that," I say. They groan. "Okay to be fair we aren't dating. Just talking about it. And this is why I didn't want to say anything. You guys hate him."

"We don't- yeah we do actually," Ron says.

"I really like him," I say, "okay. And if I do decide to date him I just want you guys to be happy for me."

"If he makes you happy," Ginny says, "then we are."

"Really?" I ask.

"Definitely," Hermione says. The boys just groan. Hermione smacks Ron's arm.

"Its not like we can stop you," Ron says.

"Great," I say, "thanks guys."

******

"I didn't mean to blow her up," Harry explains, "I just... I lost control."

"Brilliant," Ron says laughing.

"Honestly, Ron, it's not funny. Harry was lucky not to be expelled," Hermione says.

"I was lucky not to be arrested,"  Harry says.

"Since he wasn't arrested or expelled," I say, "its pretty funny."

"Come on. Everywhere else is full," Hermione says.

"Who do you think that is?" Ron asks.

"Professor R.J. Lupin," Hermione answers.

"What-" I say.

"Do you know everything?" Ron asks, "How is it she knows everything?"

"It's on his suitcase, Ronald," She says sighing.

"Oh," He says.

"Still no one else would of noticed," I say.

"Do you think he's really asleep?" Harry asks.

"Seems like it," I say, "Why?"

"I gotta tell you guys something," Harry says.

*****

"Let me get this straight. Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban ...to come after you?" Ron asks.

"Yeah," Harry says.

"But they'll catch Black, won't they?" Hermione asks, "I mean, everyone's looking for him."

"Maybe," I say, "Except no one's ever broken out of Azkaban before... So I'm going to assume he's not going down with out a fight."

"He's a murderous, raving lunatic," Ron says.

"Thanks, Ron," Harry says sarcastically. We come to a joltly stop.

"Why are we stopping?" Hermione asks, "We can't be there yet."

"What's going on?" I ask.

"I don't know. Maybe we've broken down," Harry says. The lights shut off and I look around hastily. They flicker back on.

"Ouch, Ron. That was my foot," Hermione exclaims.

"There's something moving out there," Ron says, "I think someone's coming aboard." The room grows eerily cold.

"What's happening?" I ask. The water on the window and in the bottle freezes over. The train jolts again.

"Bloody Hell whats Happening?!" Ron yells. A shadowy figure stood by our door. It reached out a boney hand and unlocked the compartment. Growling and groaning sounds fill the compartment. Along with the animals hissing and whining. It turns to Harry and stares him down. He was twitching and flipping out. Professor Lupin. Who we thought was asleep jumps up and shines a light in the things face making it leave.

*****

"Harry are you all right?" Hermione asks.

"Thank you," Harry says.

"Here, eat this. It'll help. It's all right. It's chocolate," Professor Lupin says.

"What was that thing that came?" Harry asks.

"It was a dementor. One of the guards of Azkaban. It's gone now. It was searching the train for Sirius Black," Professor Lupin says. He stands up. "If you'll excuse me, I need to have a little word with the driver. Eat. You'll feel better."

"What happened to me?" Harry asks.

"You flipped then passed out," I say.

"We thought maybe you were having a fit or something," Ron says,

"And did any of you......you know......pass out?" Harry asks.

"No," I answer.

"I felt weird, though. Like I'd never be cheerful again," Ron says.

"But someone was screaming. A woman," Harry says.

"No one was screaming, Harry," Hermione says.

"Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Yeah," He nods.

"I'll be back," I say, "I'm gonna check around. See what all happened." They nod and I walk off. I skim the compartments until I see the platnium blond. I open the door and smirk. "Miss me?" 

"Just the girl I was hoping for," He says. He scoots over letting me sit by him. Across from us sat Crabbe and Goyle.

"Hello boys," I say to them.

"Hi," Crabbe says. Goyle just nods. I turn to Draco and smile. He connects his lips against mine quickly. After a few seconds I pull away.

"Been wanting to do that all summer," he says.
