You're re-doing your seventh year of Hogwarts, just like Draco. You've never really gotten good grades, because you were bound by blood to serve Voldemort, and was always trying to either revive him, or help him once he came back.

You barely make it in time for the Hogwarts Express, and jump on at the last minute. You get up, dusting the dust off of your uniform, which you decided to wear beforehand. You look around to find a compartment, and most of the compartments are full, with their own little cliques. Finally, you find an almost empty compartment with a girl sleeping in it. You quietly open the door, not wanting to wake her up, and successfully doing so. You sit across from her, resting your head against the window. You start to doze off, until the girl across from you suddenly wakes up, as you see out of the corner of your eye.

"Who are you?!" She asks frightened, pointing her wand at you. You seem startled, but she looks around, realizing where she is, and puts her wand down.

"Oh, so sorry, it's just I was having a nightmare, I didn't mean to scare you.." She trails off.

You smile, "It's fine, I don't blame you for everything that's happened lately, to be honest, I'm kind of confused and scared." She looks at you strange and then asks, "What's your name?"

"I'm f/n l/n, what about you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry I've never heard of you, but I'm Ginny Weasley, nice to meet you!" She says, holding out a hand, and you take it.

"So y/n, what house are you in?" She asks. You put on a mischievous grin, and put a finger over your mouth, as in a 'shushing' manner, "Secret," you reply, "you'll just have to wait and find out." She pouts playfully "Oh come on, we're friends now aren't we? It's not like I'd judge you by your house." "I know, I know, but I want it to be a surprise." You reply with a wink.

The rest of the ride, you two just talk, but one question she asks sticks in your mind, "So do you have a boyfriend?" She asks. You reply with, "No, not really, what about you?" She blushes and replies with, "Harry Potter.." You smile, "Aww, you two are perfect for each other, I'm sure it'll work out great!" "Haha thanks! So if you don't have a boyfriend, is there anyone you like?" Now it's your turn to blush, "D-Dr.." you're then cut off by the sliding noise of the compartment door.

"Hi Ginny!" The famous Hermione Granger says, walking in sitting next to you, not acknowledging your presence.

"Hey Mione, what's up?"

"Oh nothing much, you?" She asks.

"Nothing much really, oh and by the way, meet y/n!"

She looks over at you, just acknowledging your presence, and she kinda jumps.

"Oh! I didn't see you there! I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you y/n!"

"I know, and nice to meet you too!" You say, smiling at her.

~.~.~

You head over to your house table, separating from Ginny and Hermione, as their eyes widen to find you heading towards your table, most likely surprised to find that you're in that house.

You sit down at the corner of the table, not really talking to anyone. You're known, or not known at all, as the quiet kid, and you don't like to socialize much, so you don't really tease Hufflepuffs and get into fights with Gryffindors, which is why people are surprised to see that you're in Slytherin, and not in Hufflepuff, but only the sorting hat saw what was really in you.

The sorting quickly goes by, and you barely eat, but that's usual for you, after all you have a small stomach and don't really get hungry, you've gone months not eating, so this is nothing. Afterwards, you head towards your dorm.

This year, you would be rooming with other people, thankfully. Last year, the girls would always call you weak or a Hufflepuff, or they wouldn't even acknowledge your presence, which you hoped would happen most of the time. You enter, and it's the same as last year, just different people.

Luciana.

Violeta.

Fiorella.

"Um, hi?" You say awkwardly, you were never good with people, and this is no exception.

"H-hey." Fiorella replies. Luciana tires to kinda give a smile, and Violeta just nods.

~.~.~

It's been a week, and you haven't gotten any closer to Draco, but you have gotten closer to Luci, Vi, and Ella, which are the nicknames you call them.

You head over to breakfast, scanning the Slytherin table, finding your three best friends wave to you. You head over, and sit down next to them.

"Hey n/n [nickname], let's go to Hogsmade today!" Luci says, all bubbly like.

"S-sure, what about you, Vi? Ella?" You ask, looking forwards, since they're sitting across from you.

Vi nods, and Ella gives a cheery yes.

After you finish up breakfast, you head over to Hogsmade.

Your group decided to just window shop, and not go inside any stores. You're pretty deep in now, and they're minimum people surrounding you. You see a glint from the corner of your eye, "Hey girls, what's that over there?" You ask.

"I don't know, I'll go look." Vi says. She gets really interested in mysterious looking stuff, like the rest of you, but she's really into it.

She looks down in the hole where you see the glint, and she kinda smiles and rushes back over to you three.

"Y/n, I think you should check it out." She says. You head over, curious as to why she was asking you, but what you didn't see is her wink at the other two behind your back.

You look in the hole, but can't really see anything, and lean in closer, and closer, until you fall in.

You get up, since it's big enough for you to stand in. As your eyes get adjusted to the dark, you see a figure.

"Who are you?" The figure asks, pointing a wand at your throat. As you're eyes get more adjusted to the dark, you can now clearly see the figure in front of you,

"D-Draco?!"
