#6: Friends

-Two months after that-

Madam Malfoy left us at the wall. After we went through it, we saw a magnificent train and many families.

Val and I pushed to the front of the crowd to get on the train.

"Not many people here are actual students!" Val points out, getting on the train.

"That's because parents are nostalgic and need pictures of this moment," I say, dragging my trunk through the train.

Val stops at one box(?).

"Is it okay if I sit here?" she asks, uncertain.

"Yeah. Go ahead Val. See you at Hogwarts!" I say, dragging my luggage until I see two familiar faces in a box.

I push open the doors and put my luggage up.

"Nice to you again," I say.

"Nice to see you to," Remus and Damian say at the same time.

"Wait... You know her?!? UGH!"

I laugh and stand between them.

"Who should sit next to, I wonder?" I ask them.

Suddenly, Padfoot jumps out of my arms and into Damian's lap.

"I guess I'll sit over here then," I say, sitting down by Damian.

"Traitor!" Remus shrieks, pointing at Padfoot.

Padfoot just nestles into Damian even more.

Remus gasps.

Damian starts to laugh.

"This isn't funny! I was betrayed!" Remus exclaims.

That just makes Damian laugh harder.

Remus pouts, and turns to me.

"You don't find it funny, right?" he asks, hopeful.

"I mean, it IS funny..."

Damian snorts.

"ALL of you have betrayed me!" Remus yells.

I start to laugh.

Soon, we all laugh together.

"Friends?" I propose.

Remus looks cautiously at Damian, who is catching his breath.

"Friends," Remus says.

"Friends," Damian confirms.
