"It was a ceremony-"

"Stop it, Harry, I know where you're going with this-"

"It's happened, he's one of them."

"One of what?" I and Ron asked at the same time as I just walked into the compartment.

"Harry's under the impression that Draco Malfoy is now a death eater," Hermione explained, giving Harry an unimpressed look.

I looked at Harry and sat down next to him as Ron began to say something for Harry to reply.

"Then what was he doing in Borgin and Burkes? Browsing for furniture?"

"It's a creepy shop, he's a creepy bloke," Ron said causing me to snort but cover my mouth after letting out an unattractive noise.

"Look his father is a death eater, it only makes sense. Hermione saw it with her own eyes."

"I told you, I don't know what I saw," Hermione replied following a long awkward pause.

That's when I decided to speak up and say my view on things.

"Harry, although I don't know what happened that day you saw Draco supposedly become a death eater, I will say that when I passed him and his mother on my way to drop off my father's parcel...his behaviour was odd,"

"How odd?" Ron asked.

"Well. He just looked on edge. As if something was worrying him," I said, my gaze fell to the floor to remember the events of yesterday.

"That could mean anything for all we know." Hermione blurted out looking between us all.

"If he has become a Death eater, Mione, you'll regret sticking up for him. Besides, I thought you hated the lad?" I questioned.

"I'm not sticking up for him! I just think that we can't judge the situation. We can't just jump to conclusions quickly until we know exactly what happened in Borgin and Burkes." Hermione protests.

"Can't argue with you on this one," I said, sighing in defeat.

Although Hermione saw the same thing as Harry did, it confused me why she thought it was normal for Malfoy to do this. Perhaps I should leave the matter alone for now as everyone seems to be focusing on their own problems.

I remembered that Luna was somewhere on this train and decided to go out and see her, seeing as the conversation they were having now had nothing of my interest.

"Guys, I'm heading out to find Luna," I said while getting up from my spot next to Harry and smiling amongst the trio.

"Sure..." Mione said, looking out the window, unphased. I could tell she was upset with me.

"Ok, bye I guess," I said before exiting the compartment.

I looked both ways of the train before deciding going left to look up that way for Luna, not knowing that I was heading straight for the Slytherin part of the train.

Walking closer, I noticed that Draco was putting his luggage away, with his friends, Pansy and Blaise sitting down waiting for him.

I knew walking further into this part of the train was a bad idea but anywhere else was better than back there for now.

Walking past the three, Pansy looked up at me and smirked making me furrow my brows at her.

Eventually, Realising Luna wasn't down here, I headed back the way I came, catching Malfoys eyes.

He stared at me as I smiled awkwardly at him. When Pansy noticed who he was staring at, she scoffed and turned to face the window where Blaise's attention was already at.

Exiting from the Slytherin hell, I eventually found Luna in a beautiful outfit with some funky looking glasses on.

"Luna, what's with the glasses?" I asked.

"Don't be silly, Y/n. You know I'm looking for Wrackspurts. I told you this over the summer." She said with a frown.

"You might have mentioned it once or twice~ " I smirked.

She huffs in annoyance, something I was only able to make her do.

"Oh, father asked if you posted the parcel thing alright?"

"Yes, although I still don't understand why there was the need to," I said.

"There are many things I have yet to understand about him too." Luna smiled making us laugh like little girls telling one another their secrets.

"Right, I better get to those three back there, be careful with these booklets." I pointed down to the books she held in her arms.

"I'm always careful." She smiled as we gave each other a quick hug before going our separate ways.

I returned to the compartment the trio were sitting in only seeing Ron and Hermione there.

"Where's Harry gone off to?" I asked pointing to where Harry was sitting a minute ago.

"We aren't exactly sure, he left not long after you.." Mione said, staring up at me.

"Strange..." I shrugged before sitting down at the spot I once was earlier.

"Sorry if I upset you earlier Mione. Your probably right about the whole 'Becoming a death eater' thingy. We might have overreacted just a little." I said.

"It's alright," She replied following a smile.

I smiled back in silence before turning my attention to look out at the window at all the scenery that passed.

Year 6, here I come!

- Time skip -

I was sitting in the Great hall waiting for the professor to announce the feast. I was starving.

Dumbledore, as usual, began his speech for the start of the year, Announcing to the new professors, that the first floor is off boundaries. The usual.

Professor Slughorn was going to be the new potions teacher making Professor Snape finally have the chance to teach DADA.

I didn't listen in to the rest of the Headmasters speech as I was too busy deciding on what to eat first.

This year was going to be very different without the twins around, it was upsetting to think about it.
I missed them already.

Especially George.

I was wondering how their shop was doing and if they were making a good profit but I could easily find that out when I next see them during the winter break. Feels ages away.

I just hope George isn't missing me too much ~
