New Beginnings

Chapter 4: Hogwarts Express.

Sarah and Draco just ran through to plat form 9 ¾. They had just said good bye to Sarah’s parents. Sarah watched as students boarded the Hogwarts Express. She hoped that this year would be better then her last.
“Come on.” Draco pushed Sarah towards the steam train.
“Ok.” Sarah walked over to the storage cabin. As she neared the train she began to feel a little nervous. Sarah took her owl and her little back pack that held her book and her uniform into her hands and pushed the trolley towards the man that was loading all of the trunks. The man loaded Sarah and Draco’s trunk in to the train.
Sarah and Draco stepped onto the train and walked through the carriage trying to find an empty cabin. They found one at the end of the last carriage and walked in. Sarah put down her owl and sat on the seat. “This train is so nice.” Sarah sighed.
“Ah, if you say so.” Draco sat down opposite her. Sarah raised and eyebrow knowing that Draco was showing his stuck up side.

Sarah and Draco watched as Crabbe and Goyle ate all the food that they had bought from the food trolley. Sarah had eaten a small snack as her nerves took over her appetite. Chocolate began to dribble down Crabbe’s chin.
“Ah Vincent.” Sarah started. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle looked at Sarah with and odd stare. “Did I say something wrong?” Sarah asked them. Crabbe and Goyle looked at Draco.
“No.” Draco shook his head.
“No.” Crabbe and Goyle copied.
“Ok then. Well Vincent you have chocolate all over your chin.” Sarah pointed to his chin.
“Thanks.” Crabbe mumbled and wiped his chin.
“Good.” Sarah stood up.
“Where you going?” Draco asked.
“To the ah toilet.” Sarah lied. In fact she thought it would be nice if she paid Ron, Harry and Hermione.
“Do you want me to come?”
“No Draco I think I’ll be fine.” Sarah laughed.
“Ok.”
“I’ll be back.” Sarah walked out of the cabin. She walked through the carriage looking for a cabin that had Ron, Harry and Hermione in it. At the front of the 2nd carriage Sarah saw Ron, Harry and Hermione through the cabin window. Ron, Harry and Hermione were sitting down with another boy and girl. Sarah lifted up her hand and knocked on the window.
“Ah the new girl from last year is here.” The other boy said. Harry, Ron, Hermione and the other girl looked at Sarah.
“Oh Ron, Harry it’s Sarah.” Hermione smiled happily. Sarah returned the smile.
“We aren’t blind Hermione.” Ron retorted.
“Funny Ron.” Hermione scowled. Harry stood up and opened the door.
“Don’t just stand there, come in.” Harry motioned for Sarah to come in.
“Thanks Harry.” Sarah walked into the cabin. “So how are all you guys?”
“I’m great.” Hermione smiled.
“I’m good.” Ron and Harry said together.
“Good.” Sarah walked over to the other boy and sat down. “Hello Neville. I don’t think we’ve actually met.” Sarah put out her hand. “I’m Sarah.”
“Hi.” Neville shook her hand.
“Nice to actually meet you.” Sarah smiled. “Oh and who are you?” Sarah asked looking at the other girl.
“I’m Ginny…Ah Weasley.”
“Ron’s sister I guess?”
“Yes.” Ginny nodded.
“Well it’s nice to meet you too.”
“And you.” Ginny smiled.
“Anyway I came here to have a little chat because I was getting a little bored so I thought that you guy’s would be some fun. Oh and I’m sorry about how Draco acted yesterday.”
“Don’t worry about it. We’re used to it.” Hermione said acting all bubbly.
“Good, well not so good, but good.” Sarah laughed and they laughed with her. Neville stared blankly at Sarah. Sarah stared at him back. “Is there something wrong?” Sarah asked. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny looked at Sarah and Neville.
“N...no.” Neville shook his head.
“Then why do you look so um… shocked?”
“Well you’re a Slytherin.”
“Yes.” Sarah nodded.
“And you’re talking to us Gryffindor’s. Why?” Neville looked confused.
“Is there something wrong with that? I think Ron, Harry and Hermione are nice so I want to chat with them.”
“Don’t you know that the Slytherin’s hate Gryffindor’s?” Ginny asked. Sarah looked at her.
“Of course I do. My boyfriends the worst hater.”
“Ok.” Ginny knew that Sarah was talking about Draco.
“Um, yes. Well its good to have the houses mixing around. Lets talk about something else.” Hermione interrupted.
“Ok.”

A few hours later Sarah decided that it was best the she went back to her other cabin. She had spent enough time with Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Neville for now.
“I’m sorry guys I think I should get going now.” Sarah slightly frowned as she stood.
“Oh well. It was fun talking to you.” Hermione stood up.
“Yeah It was.” Sarah smiled. “See you Harry, Ron.”
“Bye.” Ron raised his hand a little.
“Bye.” Harry smiled.
“Bye Mione.” Sarah and Hermione hugged then Sarah walked over to the door. “You too Ginny, Neville.” Sarah walked out of the cabin and heard some shouting a few cabins down. She saw Crabbe, Goyle and Draco breaking in to cabins and banging on doors. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Sarah ran up to them.
“We were looking for you. Where the hell have you been?” Draco asked angrily.
“Why should I tell you? I don’t need to tell you anything Draco because you don’t own me and I can do what the FUCK I want!” Sarah stated. She stormed past Draco. The whole carriage watched them as the fought.
“What you all looking at?” Draco growled. Everyone still kept looking and mumbling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Neville watched as Sarah walked away.
“You know.” Ron started. “If they break up I recon I could have a go with her.” The others laughed.
“Ron I don’t think she would be that desperate.” Hermione mused. Ron glared at her.
“Malfoy doesn’t deserve a girl like her. I mean you can already see that she’s too good for him.”
“Mione Ron does have a point there.” Harry agreed.
“Yes.” Hermione was a little shocked. “Ron may be right. But he doesn’t stand a chance. What you don’t know is that Sarah and Draco are supposed to be together.” Hermione said in a know it all tone.
“What you on about Mione?” Ron and Harry were confused.
“Honestly you two are really annoying.” Hermione sighed as she sat down. She knew who Sarah was, she had found out accidentally when she was reading through a book.
“Tell us Mione.” Harry urged.
“Figure it out yourselves.” Hermione wasn’t going tol thl them anything.

Sarah walked in to her cabin and sat down with an angry thump. She reached in to her bag and pulled out her black leather book and began to write in it.
Sarah would like it if she was able to have some time on her own. She wanted to spend time with other people then Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. Draco is way over protective and Sarah didn’t like it. She had never had time to herself when she was at the Malfoy’s and quite frankly she was getting sick of Draco following her everywhere. But of course she loved him.

A while later Draco came back in to the cabin and sat down opposite Sarah. Sarah looked up to him quickly then looked back at her book.
“What do you want?” Sarah asked in a bored annoyed tone.
“I’m sorry.” Draco apologized. Sarah closed her book and slipped in to her bag.
“You damn well should be.” Sarah crossed her arms. “You don’t disrupt people’s privacy like that. It’s pathetic. I know you’re rich and brought up to get what ever you want but you wont get me if you keep acting all stuck up.”
“Ok, ok. I’ll stop.” Draco sighed. Being stuck up is what he was. “I just thought that might have been off with another guy or something.” Sarah’s eyes widened.
“You seriously think that I would cheat on you?” Sarah asked in disbelief. “Did you ever think that I might want to be alone?”
“No I didn’t.” Draco shook his head.
“Well maybe you should have.” Sarah hissed.
“I’m sorry.” Draco apologized again.
“Good.”
“Come here.” Draco pulled Sarah in to a hug. Sarah smiled and hugged him back.
“Where are Crabbe and Goyle?” Sarah asked.
“They have gone to get some more food. What else would they be doing?” Draco sat down again.
“Of course.” Sarah laughed. “D?”
“Yeah.” Draco looked up at Sarah. Sarah had called Draco D sometimes.
“If you don’t like Crabbe and Goyle then why do you hang out with them?”
“I don’t know.” o sho shrugged. “Force of habit.”
“How could Crabbe and Goyle be a force of habit? They are Humans D.”
“I mean us hanging together is a force of habit. Our parents stuck us together since we were wee babies.” Draco explained.
“Fair enough.”
“hat hat do you write about?” Draco asked.
“Notes.” Sarah replied.
“Ok.
