Back again

It is now 1st September and we are boarding the Hogwarts Express. A week ago Draco and I went to Diagonal Alley to get everything we needed for school.

We spent the rest of the summer together without our parents. We sent a letter to our parents to tell them about us being together and all four of them were over the moon with excitement. They trust us because I am on the pill and remind me every morning to take it, which I do with or without them reminding me. We had lots of fun, not just sex. We had loads of fun with Tom and Blaise and I turned fifteen. My summer was complete. I was full of happiness. That is until we had to go back to school.

We boarded the train and found an empty compartment. We put our trunks on the rack above the seats and sat down. I sat down first, next to the window, and Draco sat next to me. I meant on my elbows and put my face in my hands. We waited a few minutes for Tom and Blaise to get there.

The eventually arrived and sat down opposite Draco and I, "what too you two so long?" I asked them. I wasn't in the mood. I was dreading this school year because yet again, there was going to be another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher this year. Not to mention Pansy and Daphne.

"What's got you in a bad mood?" Blaise asked. I rolled my eyes and put my head on the table and wrapped my arms around my head.

"I don't want to go back to school" I responded, "the summer was so fun" I started.

"Because you spent the whole time shagging Draco" Tom interrupted. I lifted my head up and looked at him with a scowl on my face.

"Yes but no" I continued, "I don't want to go to school and face everyone" I complained. I thought for a moment, I'm going to have to share a dorm with those girls. Let's hope this is one of the rare occasions they decide to switch it up, "if they don't change the room arrangements this year, I'm going to be stuck with those bitches"

"If not, you could stay in my dorm with me, I always have my own dorm," Draco suggested.

"Only because your father pays for you to have your own. Wait, you're crazy rich too Nova, why don't you get your own dorm?" Tom asked.

"Because I like to be social, even if it is those girls melting over all the boys in Slytherin" I explained, "thanks for the offer, but I would like to be able walk, remember last time?" I asked.

A few weeks before, we had sex and it was amazing don't get me wrong, it went on for three rounds, but I could finally walk normally about a week later.

"Yes that's true, but just know, my offer will stay standing" he smirked.

"Shit!" I exclaimed and put my head in my hands and groaned in annoyance.

"What's wrong?" Tom questioned and they all looked at me with concern.

"Adrian" I said and they all immediately knew what I was on about.

Draco wrapped an arm around me while Tom and Blaise held one of my hands each and rubbed them.

"Look at me" Draco started, "you aren't even going to notice him because you will be having too much fun with us" he said convincingly. My mind was telling me otherwise but I trusted him.

"I know" I responded with a sigh. I also had another thing on my mind. Something that's cool for the future but kinda disturbing to think about.

"Anyway, anything else interesting happen? Besides you and Draco getting busy" Tom asked.

"Turns out I'm going to have a sibling who's fifteen years younger than me" I announced. I was excited but it's weird.

"Wow, Mr and Mrs Hart got busy" Blaise smirked.

"Oh shut up! It's not like you didn't" I snapped back smiling. It was true. He was and that's all he wanted to talk about.

"Another child like Nova. Your parents really have it in for themselves" Draco chuckled.

I hit his chest playfully, "stop! I'm not that bad" I giggled.

"Only joking, you know that" he kissed my cheek, "who do you think the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is?" He asked all of us. He put his hands by his side and leaned back in his seat.

"I don't know" Blaise and Tom said in unison.

"I do" I admitted, "my dad sent me a letter saying that he heard a rumour from the ministry that Deloris Umbridge, who ever the hell that is, is going to be the new teacher"

"How does your Dad find this stuff out?" Blaise asked.

"I guess it's just the department he works in" I replied.

Under the table, while Blaise and I were conversing, I felt Draco's hand rest on my knee. He very slowly glided his hand up my thigh and then back down a couple times before he settled it on my knee, to which I put my hand on top of his.

I've realised that Draco's way of showing affection is physical touch, we both do. We both aren't really big talkers of how we feel unless we need to talk about something. We are so similar yet so different. Yet it seem like we fit together like two missing puzzle pieces.

Blaise and Tom were babbling on about all the random shit they did over the summer when they weren't with us. I just stayed consumed in my thoughts.

They were talking about Blaise's family drama. He said his mum got engaged two times but broke off the engagement after a week or so of being engaged.

"No self-control, she says that you don't get old until you settle down and get married" Blaise quoted.

"I'm not going to lie, I lime your mums ways" Tom said.

"That's probably because you are the same you blithering idiot" I giggled.

They all laughed as well. He couldn't deny it because it's true.

"I know I am and I live by that" he stated all smug.

"Anyway..." I tried to change the conversation. I tried to think of something to say but I couldn't think of anything, "I got nothing" I said and leaned back in my seat.

I was gone again. I just started to think of random things, like classes, how my parents are, who I'm going to be sharing a dorm with and so on.

I was minding my own business while the boys were talking amongst themselves. I then noticed a little girl, who must have been a new first year, walk past the our compartment.

Without saying anything I stood up off my seat and opened the door of the compartment.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her.

She turned around and I saw she had tears streaming down her face. I looked at her hands and they were shaking. Her chest was rising and falling quickly.

"I-I'm-" is all she could get out before she broke into more sobs. I knew how to calm her down. This is what helped me anyway.

I walked past the compartment I was in and told her to follow me into into the empty one that was right next to her. I shut the door behind her and she sat on the seat and I crouched down in front of her.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"S-Sophia" she stuttered still sobbing.

"That's such a nice name! I'm Nova. Can I hold you hand?"

I held out mine and she put her on top. I put my other hand on hers and looked back up at her.

"What's your favourite colour?"

"Black"

"Chocolate or sweats?"

"Chocolate"

As I continued, she started to calm down and get distracted. She now had stopped crying.

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" I asked looking up at her.

"I was just worried about whether or not I will get Slytherin. My parents were both Slytherins and they want me to be one. They told me if I'm not one then I'm a disappointment to the family and I have no friends" she explained and a tear fell down her cheek.

"Listen to me, no matter what house you get, you are amazing because you, are you. If you're in a different house, then so be it. The sorting hat knows what it's doing and makes the decision it makes, for a reason. The house you get, matches who you are, not what your family want you to be. And besides, you already have one. Me" I told her. I wiped her tears away and gave her a loving smile. I moved my hands from hers and outstretched them.

She happily leaned into the hug, "thank you" she said.

"Anytime, and if you do get into Slytherin, there will be one friendly face" we pulled away and I smiled at her, which she returned, "I'm going to head back now, you okay now"

"Yes I am, thank you"

"No problem" I stood up straight and looked over to the at the door to leave when I saw Draco standing there. A small smile plastered on his face. I opened the door and walked out and we made our way back to the compartment.
