“How was Diagon Ally boys?” asked Mrs.Weasly as she handed them some peas. “It was great, we met some new kids, that transferred. Their names are Rick and Rebecca, and they are in third year at Hogwarts as well.” Said Ron Fred and George looked up, “New? Is she pretty?” asked Fred, Harry laughed, “Boys will be boys.” Mrs. Weasly mumbled eating some stuffing, they all laughed, “Yes, she is pretty Fred.” Fred and george looked at each other, “Score!” said George, “Isn’t she younger than you two?” asked Ginny. “Yeah so? We can still show off can’t we?” said Fred. “I guess” Ginny said, Ron laughed. Harry was so excited; he couldn’t wait to go back. Then he remembered Hermione, and the rain and just then looked outside. ‘still pouring’ he said to himself, They finished their supper, played some wizard’s chess, and went to bed. ----the night before the Hogwarts express. “Now you two,” Said Mrs. Weasly staring at Fred and George, “I have better not have any notes sent home about you and your little invention, I have thrown away most that I could find but knowing you two, you probably still have a stash hidden somewhere, and ready to get on that train tomorrow.” Said Mr. Weasly, everyone laughed “You know us to well mum.” Said George. Harry, Ron, Ginny, Percy and, the two twins were in the living room being talked to bout how the Weasly’s want us to behave, which seemed to annoy all of them, except Harry. ‘I wish I had parents that did this’ Harry thought. ‘I wish I had brothers and sisters, they don’t know how lucky they are.’ Just then Mrs. Weasly interrupted Harry’s thoughts, “Ok Harry dear, I wish you good luck at Quidditch, don’t get hurt to to much, and as for the both of you, “ She said pointing at Ron and Harry “don’t get your selves in any trouble, or dangerous adventures, understand?” Harry nodded along wit Ron, “Don’t worry mum.” Said Ron with a smile, “Oh I wish I didn’t have to worry this much it’s a good cause for a migraine” Replied Mrs. Wealy, everyone chuckled. Mr. Weasly peeked at his watch, “Well, look at the time 9:15, I suggest you all go to sleep, we have to get up early to catch the train by ten o’clock tomorrow morning.” Every nodded. “Your father is right, go on, get ready for bed, and I’ll be up shortly.” Said Mrs. Weasly, and with that they all headed up stairs “I can’t wait for tomrrow, I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep that easy tonight.” Said Harry as he and Ron walked up stairs, “I don’t think I can either, but we have to try, or we’ll be exhausted tomorrow.” Ron said back, “Yeah I know.” Ron opened the door to his room, and saw Dobby jumping on the bed again. “Hey, what the?” Said Ron, “Oh, its Dobby.” Said Harry “Hey Dobby, why are you here? Not to warn me again I hope?” Dobby smiled and jumped off the bed. “No no, Mr. Potter, not this time.” “Good,” Harry said with a laugh. Ron still looked puzzled and finally blurted out “Then why are you here?” Dobby looked over at him “Dobby is here to tell you and Mr. Potter that there is a new defense against the dark arts teacher, and to say hello.” He smiled. “Hey Dobby, and who is the new teacher?” Harry asked, Ron just waved, and plumped down on his bed. “Well, Dobby began, it’s a female this time, and she looks mean.” Said Dobby. “No wait, she is mean.” He said once again, backing away a bit. “Oh?” said Harry confused, and you came all this way to tell me that?” Harry asked. “Dobby missed Harry Potter, and just wanted to make sure he was O.k.” And at that he looked out the window, at the rain. Harry looked too, “Dobby,” Harry began, “Do you know anything about the rain, and why It’s been raining for days?” Harry asked. Dobby turned back at Harry and Ron, “It’s worse here than in the wizarding world, Yes. Dobby thinks it means bad, but it’s just rain, it can’t mean bad, it can’t.” Harry looked at him blankly. “What do you mean ‘bad’?” Ron asked.
Dobby looked at Ron, “I don’t know, I just feel that way sir.” Said Dobby, Harry looked at his watch 9:30 “Thanks Dobby, But we must go to sleep now, we have an early morning ahead of us, is there anything else you need to tell me?” Harry asked. Dobby looked down, “No, sir.” Harry looked at him “Well, are you sure?” “No, well I have to wait to tell you, when the time comes sir, I will, don’t worry, Dobby must go now, so Harry doesn’t miss the train, good-bye sirs, See you in school.” And with a snap of his fingers, Dobby was gone. Ron still looking confused blurted out “What was that about?” Harry shrugged as he got into bed, “I don’t know Ron, but he said if he needs to, he is going to tell us.” Harry was so distracted, because he was thinking of his dream with that lady ‘what did it all mean?’ but he had no time to think about it long, because he drifted off to sleep. ~~~~~ Hogwarts Express. “MOM WHERE ARE MY SOCK!?” Harry opened his eyes, “huh? Socks?” he said, He looked over at Ron who was just getting up, He yawned “Morning Harry, time to get ready to go.” Said Ron getting up and looking out the window, “Wow, it’s still raining.” Harry looked out the window “Yeah, Morning Ron, I can’t wait to go, what time is it?” Harry asked, “8:00, we’d better hurry we’re leaving around 9, 9:30.” Said Ron, “And who was looking for socks?” “Oh, That was Fred I think.” Said Ron, “I think I have everything, Do you?” he asked. Harry looked around “Yeah, I think so.” Harry then made his bed, and put on some socks, Grabbed his glasses, fed Hedwig, put on his shoes, and him and Ron headed down stairs. “Morning boys, breakfast?” Ron’s mother asked. “Yes please! I’m starved.” Said Ron, “Yeah, give me all you can.” Said Harry. Mrs. Weasly smiled, “That’s my boys, eat up.” “MUM! MUM!” cried Ginny, “MUM! Have you seen my brush? I can’t find it any where, Oh what am I going to do with out it?” She said panicking, “Now Ginny, I put it in your trunk, calm down, you have everything, and if you are missing something I will send it, go on go check if you want.” Said Mrs. Weasly. Ginny nodded and ran back up stairs “Wow, what’s up with Ginny?” asked Ron. “Well, you know she is getting older and she wants to look pretty, just like you want to look handsome.” She replied, “Your all growing up, it’s going to be tough at times, but it’s just part of life and getting older.” Harry laughed “Yeah, tell me about it, Ron over here has been talking about girls nonstop.” Mrs. Weasly Chuckle “Oh shut up Harry.” Harry laughed, “Come on Ron, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Said Mrs. Weasly. Harry and Ron finished their breakfast, “Go on upstairs and tidy up, and make sure you have everything boys, It’s 8:36 almost time to go.” They both ran upstairs, and bumped into Mr. Weasly on the way up “Woah, careful boys careful.” “Sorry dad!” Ron yelled after him, still running upstairs. “Wow Ron, where’s the fire?” Ron laughed, Harry we have 5 minutes to get ready. “Yeah so?” said Harry, “So we have to get ready! C’mon.” Harry looked at him strangely, and just then Ron went in his drawers and pulled out a bottle of Gel. “Ooh, let me use some would you?” said Harry. “Sure Harry.” He said squeezing some onto his hands and spiking his hair “I liked the way that kid Rick did his hair, so I think I’m going to try the same.” He said finishing up his hair and turning to Harry, “What do you think Harry?” Harry was amazed, it actually looked kind of good, a bitbetter than the old Ron-hair-do. “Looks really cool Ron, nice job.” Harry replied. “Thanks Harry, how are you going to do yours?” Ron asked, “Hmm that’s a good question, should I do it like you?” Ron nodded, “Go ahead if you want.” ‘ well my hair has always been untidy, so why not give it a go?’ He squeezed some onto his hands while Ron took his trunk down stairs, and put some in his hair ‘hey it doesn’t look to bad, I’d have to ask Ron though, and I am def. Not doing this everyday though’ Ron came back in the room “Whoa, Harry, looking good.” Harry threw the gel to ron who put it In his robe pocket, “Thanks.” Harry said. “BOYS, LETS GO IT’S TIME TO GO!” Harry grabbed Hedwigs cage placed it on his trunk, which Ron helped him carry down stairs, and they were off. “Nice hair you two.” Said George, “Give me some of that gel would you? I’d like to try,” Ron nodded “Yeah sure, here.” Just then Mr. Weasly finished loading the trunk and hopped in the car, “All set?” Asked Mrs.
Weasly. “Yeah let’s go.” Said Ginny. After Fred had put the gel in his hair, George wanted to, and he did, then Ginny said she need a drop so her hair wouldn’t stick up, and she got it. “Your hair looks good boys, you should do that more often.” Said Mrs. Weasly. “What about mine mum?” Asked Ginny, “Ooh, it looks very pretty, dear.” She smiled. Harry was so nervous, ‘what will people think? I mean its just hair after all, but I’ve never really done anything with it before, will they like it?’ “I hope so” Harry said so quietly no one heard him. “Here we are, everyone excited?” asked Mr. Weasly. ‘Yes, and nervous.” Said Ron, “what about?” asked Mrs. Weasly “Girls.” Said Fred “well, Yes and no” said Ron. “Oh you’ll be fine don’t worry don’t worry.” Ron nodded, “9:45 we’d better hurry, come on.” Said Mr. Weasly “Right” everyone said. Harry grabbed his trunk and Hedwig out of the car, placed it on his cart, and headed towards platform 9 and ¾. “I can’t wait to get on the train.” Blurted out Harry. “Me either.” Said Ron, “same here” Ginny replied. As they walked to platform 9 and ¾ they saw other Hogwarts students, first year, and what not. “The must be so terrified.” Said Ron, “Yep, and confused.” Added Harry. “Here we are, Ron you first.” Said Mr. Weasly “Right” Ron nodded, and ran right into the wall between platforms 9 and 10, and disappeared. “Ok Harry, you next.” Harry did the same and with a woosh he was now in the wizarding world, with the Hogwarts Express waitng for it’s passengers. “Hey Harry! Ron.” Said Hermione, “Wow, Hey Hermione.” Said Harry “Kind of startled him.” Said Ron laughing, “You mean ‘us’ I saw you jump.” Said Harry, now laughing. “Alright you two, I know.” Said Hermiome smiling. “Ok, lets board on now.” Said Fred “Oh ok, bye mum bye dad! See you whenever.” Ron said giving his mom a hug, “Bye dear, behave!” Harry laughed “Mum I will gees!” “Bye Mrs. Weasly.” Harry said waving “bye Harry dear!” she replied and he walked towards the train with the others. “By the way you two, I like your hair.” Said Hermione as she was searching for a empty cart. “Over here guys.” The looked up it was Rick and Rebecca “Oh ok! Thanks.” Said Hermione, “Come on you two.” They headed into the cart and took their seats “Hey guys, how are you?” Rick asked. “Good how about you? Find everything ok?” “Yeah we did, pretty nervous about going up in front of all those people.” Hermione smiled, “Oh don’t be, it’s nothing, wait till you meet Snape, he’ll embarrass you if your not in Slytherin, and especially if your in Gryffindor.” “Yeah that’s true.” Said Harry. Rebecca looked up, she was reading something, “Your all in Gryffindor?” she asked, “Yes.” They nodded. “Then I am hoping to be in Gryffindor, I don’t know anyone else.” “Yeah well we hope you are then too.” Ron added. “Move! We had this cart first.” Harry heard someone say, and he had a good guess at who it was, all five of them hopped up and went out into the hall, Harry was right, It was Malfoy. “What are you looking at Potter?” Malfoy sneered. “And who is this?” He said pointing to Rick. “Yeah, and that?!” Said dumb old Crabbe, “Those.” Said Hermione with a bit of tude “are Rick and Rebecca, they are new.” Malfoy just stare at them, “Hi I’m Malfoy, this is Crabbe and Goyle.” He said. “You sorted yet?” He asked again “No, I just got here, why would I be?” Rick replied, Ron laughed a bit. “Shut up Weasel, or should I say porcupine? We got a whole lot of them, four of them to be exact.” He said looking at the four boys. “What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Rick. “Oh I think you know what it means.” Malfoy sneered, “I think it means you need a tic tac Malfoy is it?” said Rebecca, everyone laughed, even the people standing around them. “Oh, and who are you?” Malfoy asked. “I’m Rebecca, We already told you that.” She said looking at him like he was crazy. “Well, if your in Slytherin you’d better watch out, and if your not, you still need to watch out.” Said Crabbe. Malfot looked at him like he just saw an idiot (which he is) “Shut up, come on lets go, and as for you I’ll talk to you soon.” He said ponting at them.
“Man what was with him?” Rick asked. “Oh that.” Said Hermione, “that’s just Malfoy, he is always like that, don’t worry.” She smiled and began to read a book on potions and magical creatures. Harry looked around, both Hermione and Rebecca were reading and Rick was listening to his headphones. “What to do?” Ron asked, Harry shrugged “We could wander around?” Ron nodded, “Yeah ok, lets go.” Hermione stood up, “Where are you two going?” she said. Rebecca looked up “Just to wander around, it is getting boring you know.” Said Ron. “Want to come?” Harry asked, “Oh ok.” She tapped Rick, who took his headphones off, “Yeah” he asked, “we’re going to walk around, we’ll be back soon, you can come if you want.” He shrugged, “No, it’s ok, I’m good, thanks.” He said and placed his phones back on. Hermione looked at Rebecca. “Don’t mind him, he gets like that when he’s mad.” “Yeah, so does he.” She pointed to Ron, “Hey knock it off Hermione.” Ron blurted out, “See what I mean?” Hermione asked, Rebecca laughed, “Yeah, a little.” “Do you want to come?” Harry asked her. “Yeah ok, sure.” She said placing her book on the seat and getting up “Ok, lets go” said Ron. “You see, what me and some friends used to do when we were on the train to our school, was look in on people, and when they finally noticed you spying run into someone’s cart, or just run, it’s kind of fun.” “Don’t you get in trouble?” Hermione asked, “Haha no, they don’t bother to tell, if you do it enough times, they might, but then you can just say you were looking for a place to sit yah know?” The nodded “Come on Hermione let’s try it.” Said Ron. “Do you really want to?” asked Rebecca, “Yes.” Said both Harry and Ron, “What about you Hermione?” She asked, Hermione paused for a second, and finally blurted out “Oh, ok. It does sound fun.” Ron smiled “Alright lets go.” The first cart Harry went to was a couple of first year girls; they were doing their hair, Harry could hear their conversation “I can’t wait to get to school, but I’m nervous, you know?” said one of the girls, who had her hair in a ponytail, “It’s like we have to go in front of all those people, and they might talk about us when we’re up there, It’s going to be embarrassing if I mess up or trip.” “Yeah, I know what you mean, I am nervous too, but at least we met each other so we aren’t alone.” Said one girl with long blonde hair that reached to her lower back. “Did you see any cute guys?” “I have,” said another with brown hair to her shoulders, “a lot too, and have you see Harry Potter? He looks soo hot, especially with his hair spiked.” She giggled. “Yeah, I know, and the other one with red hair, he is very cute.” said the one with her hair up. “And, that other guy!” she said jumping up. The other girls nodded. ‘I better go before they see me Harry Potter hearing this, it could get vicious’ Harry turned around to find Hermione looking through the window of the cart next to him, and Ron and Becca in two behind him. “Hey guys, the prefects should be coming by soon, and the witch with the trolly, we’d better head back.” Harry said. “Oh, and Ron, first years in there think your cute.” added Harry, Ron blushed. They walked back to their cart, to find Rick asleep on one of the chairs. “He always sleeps.” Said Becca, Just then she shook him, “Hey man, wake up.” Rick opened his eyes, “Ooh sorry, are we almost at the school?” “Nope, not quite.” Said Hermione. “Oh, alright then, where have you guys been?” He asked. “Playing our game we usually play, you know spy, I told them about it.” Said Becca. “Oh really haha, how’d it go?” he asked. “Actually pretty good, no one came are you feeling alright?” she said looking concerned. “Yeah beck, I’m find don’t worry, was just tired.” He replied. “alright alright.” She said and sat down. It was quiet until ….. “HEY COME ONE THE CAAANNDDDDYYYYYYYY IS COMING!!” said a boy, but know one knew who. Ron and Harry looked at each other and started laughing so hard they were crying. Hermione, Rick and Rebecca were laughing; Hermione actually fell out of her seat. “Owh that hurt!” she said laughing harder than ever. “Are you ok!?” asked Rick, that was a loud bang you made there.” He said. “Who was that anyway?” Ron asked. Harry got up and looked out into the hall, no one was there anymore. “Who knows, some one that’s either crazy or just hyper.” Harry said “But the candy trolly is coming.”
Rick jumped up, “Candy, great I need something to hype me up a bit.” Just then a tap came on the door, “Anything you’d like?” said the witch. “YES!” Ron blurted out. They got 8 chocolate frog, 7 packs of Every flavored beans, 10 chocolate bars, 4 packs of gummy worms, and 9 doughnuts. “Thanks” said ron with his face stuffed with doughnuts. The witch nodded and walked away. “Look at all this candy!” Said Hermione, “we’re going to get a lot of cavities.” “Eh, who cares, candy is good, come on have some.” Rick said handing her a pack of gummy worms. “Of coarse.” She said taking the pack, and opening it. “Wow, I really hope I get into Gryffindor now, you guys are great.” Becca said, “Yeah we’d have so much fun yah know?” Rick replied. “Yeah that would be the best.” Said Ron, “You know what else would be good?” Becca asked, “What?” said Harry, “A Juice box or something, I am so thirsty.” They all laughed. “Hey hang on.” Said Hermione, “Harry wasn’t the hat going to put you in Slytherin?” she asked, “Yes, but what does that have to do with it?” he asked. “Well, why don’t you two try asking the hat to be in Gryffindor, I mean I doubt he’ll say no if you really want to right?” “Hey Hermione has a point.” Said Ron. Harry nodded, “Yeah, you could try that, it might work.” ~~~----~~~ After hours, they were finally about to arrive at hogwarts….. “Hey look, we’re almost there, we’d better change into our robes.” Said Hermione. Rebecca halted, and turned kind of white, “Beck whats wrong?” Rick asked “I’m getting nervous, I don’t know why, but I’m ok now.” She replied. “Don’t be nervous, no one is going to like, kill you or something.” Ron said with a shrug, and they laughed, “Yeah yeah, I know Ron thanks. Heh.” Once they were in their robes the train was nearly there, finally it came to a halt. “Well, here we are, I think you two go with first years, since your being sorted and all, so we’ll see you later good luck.” Said Hermione, “And don’t forget, ask to be in Gryffindor.” Added Ron, and they parted, and headed towards the castle.
