chapter 1: on the train again
The clock chimed at the hour of 11:00 as the trio scurried through the gate onto Platform 9 and 3/4. The morning had been chilly, the sky cloudy and threatening rain. Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly grabbed their trunks off the trolly and pulled them onto the train just as smoke puffed from the engine and began chugging away. They found an empty compartment towards the end and settled in. Harry glanced out the window. Ever since he'd lost Sirius he'd been a lot more quiet than usual. He'd improved a bit over the summer, yet his brilliant smiles were very scarce. Ron and Hermione tried their best to comfort him. They never brought up the subject of Sirius in fear of hurting Harry. It was either Quidditch, school, or some gossip heard in the Daily Prophet. The compartment door slid open as a short girl with flaming red hair plopped down next to Hermione.
"Jeese guys thanks for waiting up for me" she huffed crossing her arms over her chest and rolling her eyes.
"Hey Ginny" they said in a union with smiles creeping up their faces. There was silence for awhile until Ron broke it bringing up something about the Cannons going on a losing streak. Hermione grabbed a grudgy looking book with folded edges and scribbles in the margines out of her bag. She flipped through a few pages and leaned back in her seat reading. A yelp from Ron woke Hermione from her peaceful reading state as she glanced up from her book.
"Nuu Uhhhh mate, Stephen Crawford is going to get signed to the Cannons, I read it myself in the Quidditch column of the Daily Prophet!" Ron whined puffing his cheeks.
"Oh please Stephen Crawford is too good for the Cannons, he's going to Ireland for sure." said Harry not looking up from his book "Quaffles, Bludgers, and Snitches Volume III".
"Well personally Stephen Crawford isn't good enough for neither of the teams" Hermione piped getting engaged in the Quidditch quarrel.
"How would you know, you don't keep up with Quidditch" snapped Ron acting like a 6 year old.
"I don't have to be obsessed with it to know about it!" Hermione snapped back.
"Obsessed? who said we were obsessed?" chimed in Harry looking up from his book.
"Oh you don't call eating, sleeping, and breathing Quidditch obsessed?"
"Will you guys quit it already!!!" Ginny yelped getting annoyed. They continued bickering back and forth ignoring Ginny's comment. Ginny rolled her eyes throwing her arms up in the air. Lately they'd been fighting a lot and this time it had to be about something as stupid as Quidditch. Suddenly there was a light knock and the compartment door creeked open as a girl with long wavy brown curls and light green eyes stood at the doorway.
"Er...hello, I hope I'm not interrupting but-"
"Well you are!!!" yelled Ron glaring at her and continuing to fight with Harry and Hermione.
"Oh sorry" she said shyly quickly closing the door.
"Ron!!! you guys!!!" yelled Ginny standing up and pointing to the door.
"She probably just wanted to get an autograph from Mr. Quidditch Know-It-All over here" said Ron signaling towards Harry.
"Hey!!!" Harry yelled.
" Uuugghhh!!!!!" Ginny cried shaking her head and burying her face in her hands. "Great way to start out the new year guys."
