Okay guys. So as you know I got only two entries, and one was the chapter option. This chapter is written by @zelda_x so congrats to her!

Enjoy the chapter!

Me, Sarah, Amy, Harry, Ron and Hermione were searching for an empty compartment. They all changed a lot in this summer, but I dare to say that I changed the most. Not trying to sound self-centered, but being possesed by an evil wizard kinda matures you. Me and Sarah didn't talk that much in this summer, but she talked a lot with Ginny and Harry. Amy and Hermione had been ignoring me too, and Ron sucks at comforting people. I think I have finally got over my feelings for him, altough I can't say the same thing about Amy and her feelings for Harry.

"Hey guys" I said randomly as we were still searching for a compartment. "I think I will go and sit with Neville (Sarah smirked) Oh, shut up. You don't mind, do you?"

"Do you me to come with you?" asked Amy worried. I think she way the only one that didn't except me to just move on- I loved her for that.

"No" I said firmly. "I just need some help at Herbology so I will ask Neville"

"You can ask me, you know" said Sarah and Hermione in sync, then looked at each other weirdly.

I pretended that I didn't hear and I just walked away. I didn't need some wise words from Hermione or Sarah, they couldn't help me, nobody could. I can act like nothing happened, but I will always know deep inside me that everything changed and it won't be the same.

I walked until I heard something strange. It was a melody, and a very good one. I used to love music, when Mum died it was my only way to escape reality. Mum taught me how to sing at piano and I also inheritated her musical voice. She tried to teach Sarah too, but she was more into Quidditch and pranks. Well, everyone loved Sarah anyway, she is always so perfect.

The music was coming from a compartment. I approched, and saw a boy through the transparent door. He was singing at a guitar a song that I recognized. It was a song that Mum used to sing to me when I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't remember the name. The boy had dark messy long hair that was falling in his gray eyes and his skin was very pale. He was wearing a red plaid shirt and dark jeans- he looked like a rocker.

"Hello" I said entering in his compartment. The boy looked somehow familiar, but I didn't think I saw him in Hogwarts.

"Hi there Blondie" he said, without looking at me and continuing to sing his song. His voice was soft and bored.

"What's the song's name?" I asked awkwardly.

'And what's your name?' I wanted to ask, but I decided to let him ask me first my name.

"It's called Safe and Sound" he answered.

I suddenly remembered the lyrics of this song perfectly, like my Mum was singing them again. It was something like that:

I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go.

When all those shadows almost killed your light.

I remember you said 'Don't leave me here alone'

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight.

"I know this song" I said after he finished, but he still didn't look at me. "Do you know the lyrics?"

"Yeah, but my voice sounds like a dog about to die" he laughed, and his laugh was soft but sounded strange, like he wasn't used to laughing- or being happy.

I laughed too, but this time I felt like it was real and I sounded like the old Bonnie.

"What's your house?" I asked. "I'm in Gryffindor, we are kinda the Hogwarts' heroes"

"Dunno. I'm a new guy"

"Are you eleven or what?" I asked shocked. He seemed more mature than I was at eleven.

"No" he said firmly. "But I found out I am a wizard like a day ago. I should be in my fourth year but Dumbledore said I'll be in third year"

"I'm in third year too!" I said excite. "Maybe you will be in Gryffindor, you could meet my friends!"

He snorted. "Friends? No thanks, I prefer to go solo. Besides, nobody likes jerks like me"

"But I like you!" I said and I regreted immediately, because I blushed and he looked at me with wide eyes and his skin went pink, but his expression changed to an annoying smirk.

"I have this effect on ladies. But you have to go easier, you don't even know my name. Haven't your Mum told you that strangers are dangerous?"

"My Mum is death" I snapped but I didn't sound very hurt. I was already used to the idea that my Mum was death and she will never come back.

"I'm sorry Blondie" he said, but he didn't look like he was really sorry, he looked like he understood me "I hope you know that people will die anyway no matter what"

"I know that. And I know that you will die no matter what so your opinion doesn't affect me" I said.

"Ouch" he teased. "And how can I call you other than 'Blondie'?"

"Bonnie. My name's Bonnie Lupin. And don't call me 'Blondie', it sounds stupid and my hair is dirty blonde anyway" I said annoyed.

"Bonnie is a boring name. I will stick with 'Blondie'. Unless your friends have the same nickname for you"

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, Emo Dude"

"Hey, I'm not that emo!" he protested. "Anyway, what were you saying about houses?" he asked, sounding interestend and willing to find about more about Hogwarts.

"Yes, there are four. Gryffindor- like I said, we are the heroes. Ravenclaw- is for the nerds, but my friend and sister are the biggest nerds and they are in Gryffindor. Hufflepuff- they seem sweet but they can beat you up and steal your money for candies. And then are the Slytherins- I don't say that they are evil but nobody met a nice Slytherin yet"

"I bet I'll be in Slytherin" he said randomly. "I think of myself as a forever evil and alone person"

"Yeah, evil like a puppy" I teased him.

"Be careful, you don't know my Father"

"And you don't know mine!" I said annoyed. "He is a teacher you know"

"And mine is a murderer"

'And mine is a werewolf!' I wanted to scream this badly, but I decided to shut up. I wasn't going to reveal Dad's
secret to him just like that.

"What's your name anyway?" I asked, changing the topic.

"Chase, my name is Chase" he answered, without looking at me and starting to sing Safe and Sound again. It was a strange feeling, I wanted him to continue to sing but I also wanted to talk to him.

"You are very emo Chase, and annoying" I whispered, thinking he wasn't paying attention to me anyway.

"Well thank you, the door is right there and nobody is forcing you to stay here" he said, over the sound of his guitar.

"I can leave, but what if we eat some Muggle sweets together while I'm telling you more about Hogwarts instead?" I suggested, a shy smile appearing on my face.

"Why would you want to lose more time with me? You said I'm annoying Blondie, pick a side already" he said, and for the first time he looked straight in my eyes.

"You are annoying, but you also seem a lonely person. And I want to help people, too bad I suck at it" I laughed while trying to defuse the tension.

"And I want people to help me but I don't know how to accept help. But maybe being hurt by you wouldn't be so bad"

I smiled. I met Chase like ten minutes ago, but I already felt like he was my soulmate in a friend way, and this was the beginning of an awesome yet complicated friendship.
