"Something's wrong." I said to Fred and George.

"Why?" Fred asked.

"Ron and Harry should be through by now."

We came through platform 9 3/4. I went through with Ginny. Harry and Ron were last but they haven't came through yet.

"They're probably goofing around. Let's get on the train." George said. We boarded the Hogwarts Express. I went in a compartment with Hermione and Ginny. Fred and George followed me.

"Aren't you going to sit with your friends?" I asked them.

"Nah. They'll be fine without us. Well, maybe not Jordan. He kind of depends on us." Fred said sitting down across from Hermione and Ginny. George slightly pushed me infront of him so I would sit by Fred. I did and George sat beside me. 

"They should be here by now. Especially Harry, he wouldn't want to miss the train." I sighed.

"I agree." Hermione stated.

"Kinda too late now. Maybe they got in a compartment with Neville." George said as the train took off.

"I bet so." I said.

"What house are you hoping for Ginny?" I asked.

"I hope I get into Gryffindor but I'm sure I'll get into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff." She blushed.

"Either one would be great. There's a cute boy in each one." I giggled.

"But there's quite a few rather dashing men in Gryffindor. Isn't that right George?" Fred said.

"Absolutely. But sadly for you Gin, they're your brothers." George joked.

"What about in Slytherin Shelby? Is there any cute boys in there?" Ginny asked, ignoring the twins.

"Ummm a few. But they're all older." I admitted.

"Like who?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah who?" Fred questioned.

"Well there's this one boy. I danced with him at my party."

"Did he ask you to dance with you?" Fred asked me.

"Yeah. Is that so shocking?"

"No. I'm just shocked you said yes."

"It was just a dance. It's not like it meant anything." 

"Sure it didn't"

"It didn't Fred! And why are you so concerned?"

"Slytherin boys are trouble."

"So are some Gryffindor boys."

"Stop it the both of you! I'm not going to listen to bickering the whole trip." Hermione told us.

"Sorry." We both mumbled.

"I don't see them anywhere." I said looking around. We just arrived at Hogwart's and we still haven't found Ron and Harry.

"Maybe they're in a carriage with Neville and Dean." Hermione suggested.

"Maybe so."

"Are you coming in our carriage or not?" A familiar voice said. I turned to see Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"No she's not." Fred spat.

"Tell your boyfriend you're in Slytherin so you have to ride with Slytherin people." Draco said.

"He is right Fred. I'll be fine. I'll see you all in the Great Hall." I told Fred and climbed in a carriage. 

"So he is your boyfriend." Draco said when we were all in.

"No he's not. He's just my friend."

"You pick bad friends."

"Yeah I do. Look who I'm in a carriage with." 

"If you would stay with us and stay away from them your life would be 10 times better." He said.

"How's that? You're only nice to me when it's just us and even then you're rude. You always make me feel terrible about myself. At least they actually care about me."

"I'm just honest."

"Stop. You're going to make her go demon again." Crabbe whispered but I heard him. I opened the door of the carriage and jumped. I landed right off the road so I was in the grass.

"What are you doing?!" I heard Malfoy yell.

"Getting away from you!"

"You're nuts!" He shouted. I started walking. I looked up and saw Draco jumping too.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled at him.

"If I left you alone Professor Snape would be mad at me." He explained.

"Awww are you scared of Professor Snape?"

"No! But he is Head of Slytherin. Come on. We have to walk fast to keep up with the carriages. If we're late we're in trouble." He said walking quickly. I tried to keep up with him.

"Draco slow down." I whined.

"You're the one who decided it'd be a great idea to jump out of the carriage."

"You're the one who followed me."

"And I regret it." 

"Maybe next time you won't be rude."

"I wasn't rude!"

"You insulted my friends and called me a demon."

"I did not call you a demon! Crabbe said you would go demon." He defended himself.

"You know how I feel about that! Why didn't you stand up for me?"

"Do you stand up for me when Potter and his friends talk about me?!" He said stopping. I didn't say anything.

"Exactly." He said and walked on.

"Draco wait."

"What?" He said but kept walking. I jogged to catch up to him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think about it like that."

"Of course you didn't You only think of yourself. And you call me selfish."

"I'm sorry. I'll be nicer."

"You're nice to my face Shelby, except when you're punching me. But behind my back you're not."

"Yes but you're mean to me behind my back and to my face."

"For your information I have never talked bad about you behind your back."

"Really?"

"Yes really. Is that such a shocker?" 

"Well kind of.....look can we just start over?" I asked. He stopped.

"We're both in Slytherin and I'm your mentor. We're kind of stuck with each other so we have to start over or we'll be miserable."

"Good." I smiled.

"I won't be as mean to you and I won't let people call you a demon if you don't let Potter and his friends talk about me. Deal?"

"Deal."

"The carriages are gone! Hurry!" He exclaimed and started running. I followed him.

"Maybe they didn't notice." I whispered when we walked in the castle.

"Or maybe we did." Someone said. Me and Draco slowly turned towards the voice. On the stairs stood Filch.

"We're done for." Draco whispered to me.

"More than likely." I whispered back.

"Follow me." Filch said.

We walked into Professor Snape's office and Harry and Ron walked out.

"How'd you get here?" I asked them.

"Flying car. Long story." Ron said and continued walking.

"Sit." Snape commanded. We did.

"I'm extremely disappointed in you two. Why on earth would you exit the carriages and walk to Hogwart's?!" He questioned us.

"Fresh air and exercise." I said. Draco elbowed me.

"It was a misunderstanding. We worked it out and it won't happen again." Draco said.

"It certainly will not. Both of you to your dorms. You have detention tomorrow after dinner. Come here to my office."

"Yes Professor. Do I go to the Malfoy's tonight?" I asked.

"No. you start that Monday night." He answered. I nodded and we left. 

"Password."

"Oh no." Draco said. We didn't know the password.

"Maybe someone will come." I said.

"At this time of night? Unlikely."

"Quit being negative."

"There you two are." Someone said. Marcus Flint was coming.

"Hey Flint." I said.

"I've been looking for you two all night. Practice next Saturday after breakfast. You're still our beater Dumbledore and you're our seeker Malfoy. Don't be late. And the password is Gillyweed." He said and entered the Common Room.

I went into my dormitory and Athena was already in there and so was another girl.

"Umm....hi?" I said.

"Hi. I'm Courtney Potter. They had to put me in here because the others were full."

"I'm Shelby Dumbledore. Are you a first year?"

"Yeah. I should be a second year but I couldn't come last year." She explained.

"Oh."

"Shelby?" Draco said.

"Why are you in here?" I asked him.

"I was wondering if you'd be okay in here be yourself. If not I'd let Professor Snape know."

"I'll be fine. Thanks."

"Well goodnight then."

"Goodnight." I told him.

"Who is that?" Courtney asked me when he was gone.

"Draco Malfoy."

"He's cute." She said. I shrugged.

"I've had a long day so I'm gonna get some sleep. Congrats on being sorted into Slytherin by the way."

"Thanks."
