A/N: Thank you for my reviews KeeperofImagination and BlackRaven2539 ! I'm very flattered J

"Shit Malfoy what happened" What the fuck? What happened to him? Who did this? Why do I care so much?

Ron, Nev and I got up to drag him in, fuck he looked even worse close up. His face was swollen and his entire body went limp as soon as we got him inside. Hermione immediately started healing spells,

"I don't think I'll be much to do about the scarring but he'll be fine, he should wake up soon" As if he heard her, Malfoy's eyes fluttered open. I slowly helped him into a sitting position and he smiled,

"I guess I'm not as popular as I once was eh" I stared at him, no explanation? Really? "What? Why are you looking at me funny?" Is he kidding?

"What the hell happened Malfoy?!" His face dropped at Hermione's outburst.

"Oh, well is it that hard to work out" He signalled to his arm, I looked at his right arm and saw the now scarred word: 'Fag' marring his porcelain skin.

"Malfoy, you're gay?" He laughed nervously.

"Erm, yeah, it turns out my house isn't too accepting of that though, hence the reason I'm here" How was he going to cope for the next year with them if he couldn't survive the train journey? "Good thing I'm Head Boy I guess…" Head Boy? How on earth did he pull that off? I mean I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I kind of saved the world last year, does that mean I don't fit the criteria for Head Boy? "A whole house unity thing, that's why Granger is Head Girl, a Gryffindor and Slytherin ruling the school" He winked at Mione, he seemed to be regaining strength quickly this apparently meant his usual devious attitude return just as fast.

"Well I guess if you want you could sit with us at meal times..." I offered nervously, everyone turned around and stared at me. Why on earth had I just said that? I'm an idiot, it's the only conclusion I can draw from the behaviour I have demonstrated it the past two hours.

"Yes, what a fantastic idea Harry!" Thank goodness for 'Mione, as ever chipping in to save me! "We could even get food delivered to the Heads common room" Everyone nodded in agreement.

I checked my watch, oh crap it's 6:30pm! We get to Hogwarts in half an hour!

"Guys we need to get changed it's 6:30" Hermione's eyes bulged open.

"Crap Harry! Why are you only telling us now! I've got to be ready on time! Harry I'm head girl now! I can't afford to be late! HARRY! You don't understand! I HAVE TO BE PERFECT!" She stormed out, and Ginny promptly followed her. Malfoy turned to me with a questioning look. I rolled my eyes and nodded reassuringly at him.

"She'll be fine, now come on let's get changed" He frowned "What?"

"Don't you think I'm going to stare at your gorgeous body Potter?" he drawled sarcastically.

"Well I am of the opinion that everyone should at least once" I faked a serious tone, he looked at me and we burst into laughter. "You're not that bad Malfoy, one might even say you're-" I was going to say fun but I was cut off by a pile of clothes being thrown at my face. "OI" When I finally found my glasses, which fell off during my recent ambush, I saw a smirking, rather attractive, Malfoy getting undressed.

Wait, what! Can I just shut up, in my head, just stop thinking stupid shit! Oh for goodness sake what do normal people think? Oh what do I know, I haven't been normal for a single day in the past 18 years I've lived on this planet, I wouldn't know normal if it accosted me in the bathroom! (A/N: *wink* *wink* you get it?)

"I know it's hard but, do you want to quit staring at me long enough so you can actually get changed" Malfoy quipped with a smirk and a wink. Gosh he's an ass, a really attractive ass. He actually has a very attractive ass, which is currently clad in only a pair of loose box- normal, normal, normal! Come on Harry, just be normal, how hard can it be?!

After what seemed the longest ten minutes of my life we were both returned to our fully clothed state. A few minutes after this the others filed back into the compartment

"Hey guys we should be at Hogwarts in a few minutes" Mione informed us. We nodded and just sat in silence, I was both excited and saddened at prospect of my last year of Hogwarts. I reflected on all the great memories I'd had at Hogwarts whilst looking out of the window at the patchwork quilt of the country side.

From riding on hippogriffs, impromptu wizard duels, chess matches, both big and small, to discovering Quidditch, fierce house competition and evenings by the fire in the common room.
