... that the teenagers would be tired the next day, as it was unlikely they would get much sleep, but they couldn't say no to Harry's wide, pleading eyes. It was a rather large group, and a fun evening, as Harry was joined by Ginny, Ron, Susan, Neville, Hermione, Blaise, Daphne, and Luna. The last three were still working on their animagus transformations, so they practiced for a while, while the others played out on the grounds in their forms. When it got late, the house elves provided the teenagers with an impressive buffet of snacks, and they all settled down with blankets and pillows in the dueling room, talking about the coming year, their studies, and anything else they thought of. It was a rather fun evening, Harry thought, as they finally drifted off around three o'clock in the morning. They were up early the next day, bleary eyed as they cleaned up the dueling room and went upstairs to get dressed and get their belongings together. Fortunately, everyone had packed before they arrived for the sleepover, and even Ron couldn't completely empty his trunk in one night.

They all said goodbye to their respective guardians quickly, as the adults wanted them to get to the relative safety that the train provided. Harry said goodbye to Sirius and Remus, as Minerva had had to get to school, before Molly grasped him in a tight hug. "You take care of yourself," she told him kindly, brushing his hair out of his eyes. Harry nodded, before the Weasley matriarch moved on down the line. Molly fussed over the teenagers, giving them all hugs and imploring them to be good, before they got on the train. They all claimed a compartment before most of the group left Neville and Ron to hold down the fort while they all headed up front for the Prefect meeting. There were a few other Prefects there as Harry and his friends entered, and they said their hellos, spending a few minutes talking about their summers, before the train began to move, signaling that eleven o'clock had arrived. Katie Bell slipped into a seat near Harry right at eleven. She smiled a hello before she raised an eyebrow at Harry. "So, I'm guessing congratulations are in order?" she asked with a smile. ...
