First Day Back -OPEN-

Snape left Hogwarts, by Albus orders to see the students coming to King's Cross Railway Station stayed safe form harm with the looming threat of the Dark Lords return, something Snape knew where true no matter what others thought. Snape disappered before appering at a point close to King's Cross Railway before moving on foot Snape did not have to be on the platform station but, he had to be close so he could be watchful for any sign of danger. Snapes robes glided out behind him as he moved, his wand hidden safely yet easy to get to if need came.

Once at the station Snape stayed in the back, lingering close to the shadows where he could watch the comings and goings, Snape so far saw no hint of danger yet he had to keep on guard to insure the students where safe. The odds of death eaters attacking where not likely due to fact pure bloods and half bloods could be killed besides muggles. Snape was interested to see how this new school year would turn out, for it was sure to be interesting, Snape just hopped by the end of the school year nothing drastic would happen like another war that appeared to loom in the air.  As Snape watched he could see many students he knew, along with many new students about to make the trip to Hogwarts for the first time.

Draco too had noticed Severus Snape. It was a unknown situation but the potions professor was a important figure in Draco's life. Not because Draco enjoyed potions, though he did, but because as his God Father, Draco looked to Severus for support. He did not think however that Severus was here for him. Draco's parents were here. As far as he knew too, there had been no orders from The Dark Lord involving the train station. Draco nodded to Severus and then shifted.

The train could be heard now. It was finally arriving. Draco looked down the tracks and could see the engine approaching with steam streaming behind it. The voice calling out to him caught his attention. The blond let his grey eyes move over Pansy as she approached. Pansy was a familiar face. Draco had had many an encounter with Pansy in the past. It was an on and off again relationship. "As best as could be expected." Draco said answering her question. "I'm glad to be going back."

He glanced at his parents who were now moving closer. When the train pulled in and to a stop, Draco turned to his parents to say goodbye. Narcissa smiled at Pansy before hugging her son to her. Lucius tapped him on the shoulder. People were moving for the train now. Draco pulled away from his mother. "I'll see you at winter break." He said softly and then followed the other students. Draco took Pansy's hand, taking her with him and Crabbe and Goyal fell in behind. He grabbed his trunk on the way and then dragged it behind him onto the train.

Everyone was required to bring their own luggage on the train and house elves took it all off in Hogemeade. It was nice to be back on the train. It smelled clean but old at the same time. Goyal found an empty car and Draco followed him in. He wouldn't be able to stay there for a bit though as he was to join the other Prefects for a meeting.
