Hermione Smith was scanning frantically for her best friend. As she glimpsed behind her, she could she her mom and dad frantically trying to keep up with the very excited girl.
"Hermione!" She could her mother's voice over the crowd of people boarding the Hogwarts express. "Slow down." She turned to see both her father and mother breathing heavily. She rolled her eyes. Her mum and dad were only carrying themselves and were falling behind her out of breath, while she was excitedly running with all of her Hogwarts stuff, as she still searched for her best friend.
"Hey Hermione,." Her father started. "Why are you running so fast?" He said breathing heavily.
"I am trying to find Molly." She answered truthfully. Where is she? She is supposed to be easy to spot in the crowd with her and her family crowded not only by their friends, but also by other amazed people/fans.
"Molly Weasley?" Her mother said excitedly and Hermione nodded.
"Well then." Her father said standing up taller. 'Let's go find your little friend and her family."
Hermione sighed. Her parents, Zacharias Smith and Millicent Buldstode, have always kissed up to the Potter/Weasley clan. That is the real reason why she is named, Hermione Ginerva Smith, because her parents thought it would give them some point ups to the most famous people in the entire wizarding world.
But Hermione will be the first one to tell you that it did not work. At all. Instead of kissing up to the family, like they hoped, the Potter/Weasley clan are further disgusted by the little family. The Smith parents didn't even dream that could of happened so every time they saw them, they made sure to bring up Hermione's name, in hope for a gift. But, Hermione never came, always claiming she was sick, so in the end, the only Weasley she had met were Molly, and the other few that went to Hogwarts.
But she heard from Molly, that whenever her family saw Molly's family, they mention her, to get a reward or something like that. All they got were so disgusted and awkward looks. Well by the parents, Hermione absolutely hated her name, not the actual name, but the reason behind it.
Nothing has changed.
Hermione must have been so lost in space that she didn't notice her parents strutting off without her. She began to run after them, when she accidentally bumped into someone, making her fall and her things to spew off in the direction of her parents.
Hermione got up a little dazed and noticed that her parents didn't notice that their daughter's things went right past them or that their daughter fell. 'Even after 12 long years.' Hermione thought as she raced after her stuff. 'Nothing has changed.'
When Molly finally reached the station with her parents and 8-year-old sister Lucy, the first thing she did was wonder where Bunny was. Yes, she called her best friend Bunny.. Why?
Because her real name is Hermione Ginerva Smith, and the only reason why she had that name is so that her parents could suck up to her Aunt Ginny and Aunt Hermione. She gave Bunny the nickname Bunny because she was hopping with energy when he saw her first. No literally, she got hit with the charm by a couple of rude 4th years. Good thing that August could fix it.
Her family was shocked at the choice of her best friend, but she couldn't blame her family, the parents were real gits, she even thought she heard Bunny say that once. But Bunny was different, she hated the reason behind her name and she was so shy and innocent that you just want to hug the girl.
"Mum." She heard her little sister say behind her. "Where is the rest of the family?"
Her sister was answered with the sight of a huge mob of not only red heads but also friends and slight fans.
"There they are." Her mother Audrey said. "Couldn't miss them."
As she, her parents and her sister fought there way to the heart of the pile they were greeted by hugs and kisses.
Molly rolled her eyes. Oh come on, we saw each other just yesterday. But that was the Weasley clan for you.. But something peculiar caught Molly's eyes. Two racing people. Bunny's Parents! She knew that strut anywhere. But where was Bunny?
Just as she thought that she heard a faint sound of "Duck!" She was thoroughly confused until she saw it. A fluffy familiar looking barn owl came swooping down and out of the corner of her eye she saw her Aunt's and Uncle's hiding the younger kids from being hit and she saw Lucy hiding behind her parents.
As the owl drew closer Molly's eyes widen. She knew that owl.
The delicate barn owl gracefully landed on her left shoulder and now every eye was on Molly. But she didn't care as she let out a delighted cry."Fluffernutter!" She exclaimed. As a respond she got a soft lick on the nose. Yeah, this was Fluffernutter, only Bunny's owl would do that.
"What are you doing outside you cage?" She started, as others began to drift their attention from her, seeing as she knows the owl. 'Where's Bunny? Is she all right?" Out of the corner of her eye she saw her wide eyed sister raise eyebrows at 'Bunny.'
'Molly dear." Her father started. "I don't think it can unders-"
And just as he said that the owl flew off from her shoulder flown and Molly knew that she had to follow it. She pushed past her dad and the rest of her family and eventually past a dazed looking Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Molly followed the strange owl all the way to a heaping pile of books and other personal items.
"Bunny?" Molly screamed astonished. Molly quickly picked up her best friend's things, as though she was under there. When she was about done, her shy friend finally arrived.
"Thanks Molly." Bunny said gratefully as she picked up the last of her items.
"Wait." Bunny said looking up to eye level of her dear best friend. 'MOLLY!" She screamed and knocked down her best friend to the ground with such force. Molly laughed.
"Well that is one way to thank me."
"You're here! You're here! You're here!" Bunny exclaimed excitedly.
"Well where else would I be?" Molly asked joyously as she hugged her best friend tightly. "I mean, nothing like picking up your best friend's underwear." Bunny blushed beet red at not only at her friend's comment but how many looks she was receiving and avoiding..
"C'mon, let's have you finally meet the rest of my family. They will like the real you." Molly said and Bunny went from embarrassed to drop dead nervous. She didn't want to meet the people she was named after she would be too embarrassed! Sensing her discomfort, Molly locked arms with her best friend arm and they both pulled Bunny's things to where the rest of the Weasleys would be.
Georgina Amy Cook, preferably known as Amy, was scanning the sea of people to find a familiar face. Where is he? He promised he would be here!
'Looking for someone." The way too cheery voice of her 15 year old sister rang in her ear.
"What do you want Elizabeth?" Amy rolled her eyes, as she again tried (and failed) to pull her heavy car up onto the Hogwarts express.
"Just asking if you were waiting or looking for someone in particular." Her sister said twirling her wavy brown hair innocently, but her twinkling hazel eyes gave Amy a sense of forbidding.
"No." But Amy knew it was no hope anyhow. Her nosy sister already found out about her secret crush and has been bugging about it all stinking summer. Why should she stop all of her annoyance now?
"Oh really." Elizabeth said a smirk playing on her lips and Amy groaned. Sure she loved her sister, but honestly she could be the most annoying person on the planet if she wanted to. And these were the times she wanted to. Oh why did their mum and dad (who were both muggles) leave them here early, because of their stupid jobs? Sure they said goodbye and they knew that they could trust the now 7th and 5th years, but her sister was just pure agony right now.
"Because all those love letters to Kenneth Hurst you sent this summer says otherwise." Elizabeth said, her hazel yes twinkling with amusement as her older sister's head snapped suddenly to face her.
"I'll tell you for the billionth time, there were not love letters, it was just communication between study partners for homework this summer." Amy sighed, knowing it was no use.
"Well, you must be really close study partners for you to get all dressed up just to send the damn let-" But Elizabeth was cut off by her own groan as her sister stomped on her toes.
"Shut up." Amy whispered angrily as she failed yet again to pull her carts up. She finally slumped down. "Okay this is stupid, this seems heavier to me then when I was in first year! It is either my cart has gotten way heavier over the years or I have just been getting weaker."
"I think the answer to that question is both." Said a light teasing male voice from behind her, making her jump. She knew that voice, and she refused to look at the smirk her sister is sending her right now.
Kenneth gleaming white teeth grinned down at his fellow house and year mate and Amy felt her breath get hatched up in her throat.
"You need any help with that Amy?" Kenneth questioned, his playful green eyes lowering down to the girl.
"No!" She exclaimed but he just raised his eyebrows.
"I may not be as smart as you, Amy, but I know when there is a damsel in distress!" He said as he pulled her cart onto the train. Amy saw his muscle flex as he gripped and pulled the cart up.
"Okay well that is about it!" He said giving her a cheeky grin. "Seeya later Ames!" He said ruffling her hair, and he walked off in the opposite direction leaving a beet red girl.
"Wow, I can see why you like him." Elizabeth whistled, pulling her own cart onto the scarlet train with no problem. "He is really hot." Elizabeth said with approval as she and her sister walked into the entrance of the train.
'Yeah a little too hot." Amy grumbled, thinking of the player and Elizabeth shot her a confused look.
"What do you mean?" When her sister didn't answer her back, Elizabeth thought that it would be the perfect time to slip away into a vacant room on the train and wait patiently on the train as her sister enveloped in her thoughts.
Merliah rolled her eyes at her brother, Carter and his best friend's foolishness. Daniel Nott had stayed over with the Paine family all summer, like always.
Daniel Nott was nothing like his family, even though he was a Slytherin. He didn't believe in blood purity nonsense. Which made people in his house loath him. It also didn't help that he was best friends with Carter Paine, a Hufflepuff in his year (now 6th year).
'Best friends.' Merliah thought with a scoff. 'More like brothers.' Merliah thought, slightly jealous. Before the two of them met in their first year at Hogwarts, Merliah and her brother were best friends with each other. But it seemed like she got thrown away like some old garbage.
'Just like I am going to do with them' Merliah thought as she spotted her best friend from the crowd. Although most of Merliah's friends were Raveclaws like her, the friend she considered the closest to her was a Gryfindor, Victoire Weasley. In fact, the only reason why she didn't go over to her house over the summer was because her family went to France all summer long.
"Guys." Merliah started, getting her parents attention. "I think I spotted Vic, I'll see you later okay, my stuff is already loaded on the train." After she gave her mum and dad a kiss, and said that she will see them in the holidays, and gave her brother and Daniel (Who were discussing the upcoming World Cup.) a fleeting wave, she trudged off to where Vic was.
Over her better judgment, Merliah was always jealous of her best friend. Guys in their year wanted her, she was pretty smart and responsible. But the jealous spark flew away from her eyes when the best friends caught each other's eyes for the first time in Months.
'Mer!" Vic exclaimed grabbing her best friend in a tight hug. "I am so sorry about not being able to see each other this summer!" And Merliah could tell from the guilt in her best friend's eyes that she was telling the truth.
"So how was your summer?" Merliah began a very brief explanation of how boring her summer was and Vic nodded in understanding.
"Well I got some interesting news." Victoire said with a bright smile on her face.
"What? You finally got up the nerve to ask Teddy Lupin out." Merliah said kind of loudly, and was rewarded with foot stomp.
"Hush." Vic said desperately, and Merliah rolled her eyes. Ever since 3rd year Vic has had a huge crush on Teddy, but won't rack up the nerve to tell him.
'I got to find a way to make them to get together.' Merliah thought as she looked at her red friend.
"No, I didn't, but I did get this." Vic said with a beaming smile and she held up a Prefects badge, and all the jealousy Merliah had with her good friend resurfaced.
Vic, a prefect. It was no fair! She didn't get the stupid badge! Just once, only once, she would like to beat her friend at something.
'Well,' Merliah thought. 'There is always quidditch.'
Victoire hates quidditch, she got her mother's taste in that, while both her younger siblings were naturals.
'Woah.' Merliah thought. 'Don't be scheming on Vic, she your best friend.' Now that she looked at it, she realized she was really happy for her friend, she was just a tee wee bit jealous.
Merliah gave her friend and brilliant smile. "That's great, I am so proud of you!"
To change the subject Merliah decided to ask a question that was really bugging her right now.
"Who are the people your Aunt and Uncles are talking to?" She asked and Vic groaned.
'The Smith parents, kiss ups." Vic mumbled and Merliah laughed.
"No I don't want to." Merliah heard a desperate voice from behind her and her and Vic turned around. Merlaih saw two brown haired girls. The girl that was pulling the struggling girl and her things towards them she recognized as Victoire cousin, Molly. The other girl, she had mousy brown hair that was cut at her shoulders, a roundish face and mousy brown eyes.
"No, I think this is a bad idea Molly." The stuggling 2nd year tried to pull her friend back.
"Nonsense, Bunny, it is time you meet my family." Molly said and Vic and Merliah exchanged glances at 'Bunny.'
"But Molly." But the girl who was called Bunny was interrupted by the sound of the Smith mother calling.
"Oh Hermione." Millicent Smith said with a pointed look at her awkward Aunt. "There you are! Now come here, it is time to meet some very important people." The mother said with a flattering glance towards her family. With one glance Merliah knew that Victoire was disgusted as the adults.
'Bunny' blushed tomato red, and as a response to her mother's question she buried her head into Molly's long, light brown hair.
"You got to be strong." They heard Molly whispered. "You can either meet my family on your own turns or have you parents introduce you, your choice." Still hiding at in her friend's hair, the shy girl nodded. She and Molly began to make their way over to the rest of the family, where, 'Bunny's' parents were, Vic and Mer following right behind them.
"Hermi-" Zacharias Smith started, when Molly and his daughter got met up with them, but was caught off by an angry twelve year old.
"Aunt Ginny, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron and Harry, there is someone who wants to introduce herself." All four of her family member seemed glad to get their attention away from the two greedy adults and went to look at the young girl instead.
When all 8 eyes were on her, Hermione Smith could only blush and shake nervously and Molly sighed, she usually wasn't this shy. She nudged her best friend lightly, but only got a squeak in reply.
"B-bu-n-n-y." She held out her shaking had and dared to look up at the four adults just to get stared at, by not only them buy also her parents. Who was 'Bunny'?
Embarrassed, Bunny Smith raced over to the train, pushing by people as fast as she could, managed to pull all of her stuff onto the scarlet train, with her energy, and hoped right onto the train, and in the blink of an eye she was nowhere to be found.
The Smith family took this time to check their watches, say they had somewhere to go and quickly fleet away. That left four pair of questioning eyes on young Molly Weasley. Her Uncle Ron said something first.
"Who I the bloody world is Bunny?" He got a slap from his wife for his language and a sharp ("Ronald there are young kids here!")
"Bunny is the nickname I gave Hermione Ginerva Weasley." Molly answered them, smirking lightly at watching her uncle got hit. "She was so embarrassed by the reason behind the name that I gave her a nickname instead."
"The poor girl." Aunt Hermione said suddenly. 'Why did she run away like that?"
"She is just so embarrassed to see you all, because of her name." That left four adults exchanged awkward looks.
"Well I got to get on the train so." Molly turned to her house family who were not far away. "By Mom and Dad." She said giving them both a kiss on the cheek. "Don't be such a stick in the mud while I am gone Lucy!" Molly said ruffling her sister's red hair making the girl scowl from behind her book. "See you guys at Chrismas!"
Molly ran to the train, her stuff was already loaded, and hopped onto the train hoping to find 'Bunny'. But one thing made her stop abruptly. There was one part of the Weasley family that wasn't there yet, and the train was nearly leaving. Where was Aunt Angelina, Uncle George, first year Roxie and 10 year old Freddie?
To answer young Molly's question, the family was running very, very late. But when Roxie looks years back, in her 6th or 7th year, she would thank Freddie on knees for making her nearly miss her first train ride on the Hogwarts express. Why? Because like history repeated itself, Roxanne Weasley met her very best friend while nearly missing the train. But that doesn't mean that she loves Fred right now.
'I can't believe you !" She yelled at a sheepish looking fred, as they finally got to the Kings Cross Station. "You had to turn back the clocks prank on the first day of getting to Hogwarts.
Fred had made sure that every clock in the house was an hour behind and that made everyone get up at 10:30, instead of 9:30. It is literally 10:57 right now. The gate closes in 3 minutes!
'Well, honestly Roxie, I think you do believe I could do something like that." Fred said with a Cheeky grin. His 11-year-old sister continued to glare at him. "Just think of it as a 'Good Luck at Hogwarts Prank."
Roxie just rolled her eyes at her brother. But her glaring eased, because she knew deep down that she was going to miss her 10-year-old brother. They were best friends. The were like twins, but a year apart, her father would always comment with a strange look in his eyes.
"Were here!" Her mother exclaimed, breathing heavily as the finally got at the walk between platform nine and ten. They were about to go in, when Roxie noticed something.
"Wait!" She exclaimed and everyone looked at her questionably. "Roxie, there is no time, it is already11:58," her father voice was a rare urgency. She pointed to the direction where she was looking at and they understood.
Three people, two adult men, and a young, short girl, they all had black hair, but the adults had identical green eyes, while the young girl had electric blue eyes, and she had a wand out. She looked utterly confused and was about to tap the inspection stand near them when Roxie shouted. "STOP!"
"The girl turned and now people rom all direction is looking at either of the two families.
Roxie started to do what she did best, improvise. "My friend here, isn't right in the head, and I didn't want her to get in trouble and wander off." Unconcerned with her answer, everyone started to go back to their daily duties, not paying them any attention.
The young girl looked annoyed, at her excuse but, walked over towards her anyway, the two adults not far behind.
"You have to run through the wall." The girl was even more confused and backed away slightly. She was completely startled when Roxie made a grab for her, worried there was no time left and ran into the enchanted wall she was talking about.
"Woah!" The girl said, looking up and grinning at her. "I wouldn't have ever thought of that, thanks. My name is Daneilla Garcia, but please call me Danny."
"Yeah it's incredible isn't it," Roxie looked over to the wall, where her family, and Danny's family were now coming out of. "No probs, it was fun to see the shock on your face, my name is Roxanne Weasley, you must be a muggle-born." Danny nodded and gave her a beaming smile.
"Nice to meet you Roxie!" Roxie smiled, she liked this girl; she was energetic.
"Wow!" One of her older brothers said as they appeared behind her, "What a rush!" Mostly muggles, couldn't get into the barrier, but they must of held onto Roxie's parents.
"Yeah, never thought running through a wall could cause so much excitement." The other brother agreed and Danny giggled.
"Who are you?" Fred asked bluntly, as he and his parents appeared behind Roxie. Roxie just rolled her eyes at her little brothers
But Danny just smiled at him and said, "My name is Daneilla Garcia, but please call me Danny. And these are my older brothe-" But she was cut off.
"Hey Danny I"
"I think me and Adrian-"
'Know how to introduce ourselves-"
"We have been doing it for a long time-"
"You know what Aidan, I think that she is right, we don't know are names. Are you Aidan?"
"No you Aidan, well I think you are."
"Maybe your right, we don't know ourselves."
"Just get to the point." Danny said, rolling her blue eyes.
"Gladly." They said in unison. 'We are Adrian and Aidon Garcia, nice to meet you!" They said with identical smiles, but the family just stared, and Roxie saw Danny shift slightly. Rosie's mom was just staring at her dad, and her dad looked like he had been punched in the gut. Roxie gulped, she knew the reason why, she looked at the adult twins in front of her sadly.
"Hi." Her mum started, an awkward smile one her face. "My name is Angelina Weasley, this is my husband George, and these are our kids, Fred and Roxanne."
There was another awkward silence.
The train whistle blew. And Danny jumped. 'By Aidan, by Adrian," She said giving them a fleeting hug. "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Fred." She said giving them a wave. "Hope I see you on the train Roxy." And with that the short eleven year old ran, desperately trying to avoid missing the scarlet train.
Without a word, Adrian and Aidan Garcia escorted themselves out.
Roxie turned to her dad and gave him a hug, and whispered. "Wait until you hear about what I am going to do and the opening feast, you'll be proud." She succeeded as she gave got a chuckle.
The train whistle blew and giving a big hug to her mum, promising to stay in trouble for Fred, avoided a stern look from her mother, gave a brilliant smile to her father and she headed off.
"Hey, mind if I sit down." Andrew Mancis, a boy with dark brown hair, twinkling grey eyes, and slightly crooked teeth, asked. He was a first year and had nowhere to go since his brothers, Arthur and Shane, ditched him for his friends.
"What with all this space taken up you with, you'll be cramp for sure, with how big I am." The kid in question, a boy with blonde hair that curls just over his ears and dark brown eyes said with a playful smirk. Andrew laugh, the kid was one of the smallest kids he seen on this train; he couldn't be more that 80 lbs., and more than 4'6" tall. Even when he had all of his stuff laid out, and was stretch as far as he could, he could even take up one entire seat on the bus.
"Well it's good to find someone who will laugh about himself," Andrew responded, and the kid gestured him to take a seat.
"Yeah, people these days, all serious, I mean if you loose one itty bitty animal, they go all berserk." The kid answer waving his arms around like a lunatic, and Andrew smirked.
"Speak from experience."
"Yeah, my parents are crazy."
"Aren't they all. Anyway, my name is Andrew Mancis, you are." Andrew said stretching out his hand to shake.
"Haden Pendragaon, my good friend." And like that the two of them were in a official best friends, and they haven't even left the station yet.
"You know what." Haden started, but he didn't finish as the wind from the open window blew one of his round items out the door.
"Hey!" Haden got up and went towards the door, his back pack still over his shoulders. "Come back."
"Why won't it come back?" He face Andrew questionably.
"Maybe cause it is an inanimate object."
"But my dad programmed it to, well you know what never mind." Haden said rolling his eyes. Then they heard a crash, and Andrew looked out the window.
"What was that?" Haden asked.
"Some girl's things crashed." Yeah and that girl is 'Bunny' Smith.
Before Haden could even ask another question, a big BOOM went off, making Andrew jump as far as he could backwards. Haden wasn't lucky enough and felt a tight breeze on his back.
After the bomb smoke had cleared, all Andrew could do was look, gape, and then burst out laughing at the sight of his newfound friend.
"What?" Haden asked, his light eyebrows raised, "Is there something on my face.
"Try your back." And it was then that Haden figured out that his back was completely covered in multicolored feathers (the kind that girls put in their hair), and they seemed to be glue on, from the tippy top of the head to the back of his shoes.
"Ha, ha, funny." Haden said dryly pushing his friend ("Hey, I thought it was!").
"Hey." Haden said picking up a square object with feather that is on him. It looked like it had exploded or something.
"Hey this is what sent the bomb off." Haden said peering at the item and Andrew came to take a closer look. "Wonder who it belongs to."
And that is when they both heard footsteps.
They turned to see eight girls of all different sizes, but all covered slight feathers.
The shortest one, and the one covered in the most feathers had dark, almost black hair, and big clear blue eyes. Though the feathers both boys could see a necklace with four interlocking hearts. She seemed to be, the one that had the most blasted feathers across her face.
The next shortest girl, who was only slightly covered in feathers, looked more mature and had wide brown eyes and curly light blond hair, and her pale skin was slightly covered in freckles. She had her hands on her hips, like she meant business.
The next shortest girl (you get the idea right?) had flaming familiar looking red hair and big blue eyes. Even through the feathers, the boys could see a face slightly scrunch up with annoyance, though it was obviously not meant for them. Probably had to do with the fact that she was that was the second most covered in feathers.
The next girl had dark brown hair and looked like an older version of the first girl, with the exception of her sea green eyes. She even had the same necklace, but unlike her slightly looking paler younger clone, she was covered in absolutely no feathers at all.
The next girl had curly red hair and big apple green eyes and was rather very tall. The only feather in her hair, was a one that looked to place purposely in her hair, a green one that just matched her eyes. She was interlocking elbows with the featherless girl before her and with the other girl next to her, like they were best friends.
The next girl, who was shorter than the red head next to her, also had no feathers in her hair, except a brown one that was placed there purposely. It matched her big brown eyes. She also had long black hair and a clear complexion.
The two last girls looked way older, at least in 6th year. One of them had long red hair and big green eyes and had a stud in her nose.
The very last girl looked in charge. She had the long red brown hair as the fourth girl, but the same clear blue eyes as the first girl. She also had the same necklace as the 1st and 4th girl mentioned. She stood in front of the other girls and began to speak.
"You have our feather maker, can we have it back." The girl's voice was kind, but slightly babying.
"So you're the people who blasted me with feathers" Haden said looking up at the girls, who were slightly sniggering at his be twinkled and feathered back.
"Yeah sorry about that." The shortest one said, sympathetically, as she tried to unstick her own feathers.
Haden tried pulled on his own feathers and then realize something. They were stuck on. Seriously! Why would they do that, stick feathers on a person's body? He glanced at Andrew but all he was doing was staring at the girl covered in feathers and he sighed.
"Yeah well," The oldest said, she quickly grabbed the box. "Bye then." And most of the girls, besides one hurried out of there.
'Sorry about that." The shortest one said, trying to pick out herown feathers.
'Ugh!" Haden said, kicking the seat in frustration. "I know right."
"Hey man," Andrew said, finally coming out of his trance. "Don't take it out on the poor seat." They heard the whistle blow, the train must be leaving soon.
Haden rolled his eyes, and they sat there in silence as Haden failed to unstuck the feathers from his skin.
"Hey." Andrew said, making his voice sound a lot more mature than it is. "What is your name." He said, blushing when the girl turn towards him. But he sighed when she giggled.
"My name is Camila, Camila Sloan." She said putting out her hand for him, and he shook it with a lovestruck look on his face. 'Even in feathers.' He thought,' She is hot.'
The whistle blew again.
'Come on leave already.' Haden thought and prayed to the universe . 'Put me out of this glittery misery.'
But it looked like universe didn't like Haden Pendragon, because the train still did not leave and to put him into is misery once again, two different visitors came in. And again they were both girls, younger ones though.
One had dark black/red hair and a lightly tanned skin. Her eyes were chocolate brown and she was looking at Haden, as if she wanted to crack up laughing.
The other one was not looking at them, but looking at a rememberall. She had black hair that was up in a ponytail and they could see her electric blue eyes, looking down at the name tag of the object.
"Hey, is anyone here named Haden Pen-woah" The girl finally seemed to look up and when she did, she wore the same expression as Andrew and the other girl and as one, they all started to laugh. The only one who didn't was Camila, who sat there quietly trying to take the stupid feathers off.
"Yeah, yeah." Haden rolled his brown eyes. "Laugh it up."
"Hey." Andrew started with a now regular smirk. " There is no Haden Pen-woah here, how about you ask Big Bird rainbow cousin, Sparkles if she has seen him." He joked/teased, pointing to Haden, as they laughed again. Haden felt his cheeks burning with embarrassment.
The feather-covered boy shoved the boy playfully near the window. Well it must have been a pretty hard push, because the next thing you knew, half of the first year was hanging out the window.
'He can get himself out.' Haden thought with a smirk, but frowning just slightly when one of the girls said ("Who knew a bird could have such a strong push")
But then the final whistle blew and Haden felt the train shift slightly and Andrew scream ("HADEN!") as he slipped father and father out of the window.
Haden panicked. "Don't worry Andrew!"
'Seriously.' Haden thought as he desperately held onto Andrew's feet. 'I wished for his train to leave practically all day, and then it leaves when Andrew is outside the window.'
Haden arms gave a painful tug forward and he was nearly pulled out of the train. He took a deep breath as Andrew kept yelling his name. He glanced back at the astonished girls.
"Come on, are you going to help Sparkles or not." That snapped them out of confused mode, and the brown-eyed girl wrapped his arms around his stomach, followed by the blue eyed one did the same to her and they all started to pull and Camila, with her own feathered face, right behind her. And, after 10 seconds of pulling, suddenly the train stopped.
'Phew.' Haden thought. 'It was a good thing they are sitting at the back of the train, and that they were technically still in the stations.' But they still couldn't manage to get Andrew out. Why is he so heavy? He shouldn't be so heavy and stuck! Haden gulped.
Albert Reed was getting yet another tight hug from his dad, looking longingly at the train where his seventh year, head boy brother, Malcolm, already was.
You see, West Reed is very, very protective over his youngest son. No that was a way understatement. Well, Albert is the last connection to his wife, Marie.
But seriously protective, or even obsessive was an understatement. Only a insanely driven father, would glue the cloths his son was wearing together, and added them with a sticking charm at the stitches, and a protective charm, just so his son wouldn't get sick or hurt.
"Dad!" Albert said, trying to wiggle free of his Dad's tight clutch. "Dad, I can't breath!" That was the wrong the to say, as his dad jerked his eleven year old son away from him quickly as he was on alert for any pain sign. Albert had to remain totally calm, if he showed any sign of pain of ill, his father would take him home straight away.
"Dad I am fine!" Albert said as his father put up his strong hand to the head of his child.
"You know what Al." His father started, his blue eyes desperate. "Maybe you shouldn't go, your only eleve-" is father started and Albert rolled his light green eyes.
"You weren't like this for Malcolm, and he was my age to!" Albert said. "Why are you like this for me?"
"Because-" While his father searched for an answer Albert got desperate, the train was about to leave as it whistled once more.
Out of desperateness Albert started to sound firm. "Dad it is time!" Not wanting to upset his son, West gave him another backbreaking hugs, as tears rolled down the old man's face. Tears were about to escape Albert's eyes as well. He could hear the laughter in there.
He ripped out of hi father's strong hug just as the final whistle blew. He was hoping for it to be another warning, but insides were crushed as the train started to move. He was about to start yelling at his dad, when he heard a boy cry ("HADEN!"). He turned to the noise and saw a screaming boy around his age, nearly falling out of the window, his friends trying to help him up as the train started to move.
With all the energy he could muster, he launched him and all his carry on stuff about 6 feet high and grabbed onto the fingertips of the brown haired boy. The boy was shocked, but Albert held on for dear life.
It was probably not the best idea, considering even the smallest of heights scare him to near dear, but he would not go back to the house with just his dad and be babied. He will not miss Hogwarts. HE WILL NOT! So he gripped the boys fingers on tightly.
The boy who he was clutching on gave a yelp of pain. He seemed to shock, too scared, and too worried to say anything. As he kept yelling the name Haden as the train slowly moved on, Albert himself heard yelling from 7 feet below.
"That is my son! That is my baby!" Albert's cheeks burned with embarrassment. "Get my baby down from there, get him down. Stop the train! STOP THE TRAIN; HE CAN'T JUMP DOWN INTO DADDY'S ARMS WITH A MOVING TRAIN!"
'Oh god.' Albert thought, as he came closer and closer to the tunnel. He didn't know which outcome would be worse, jumping into his Dad's arms or get pulled all the way to Hogwarts. He made is decision when he strengthen his grip.
Well, it looked like someone heard his dad (well how could you not), because the train suddenly stopped. So abruptly that his charmed shoe banged into the gateway, hard. He thought it broke dad's charm as he felt blood in his shoe.
'Well.' Albert thought. 'If dad stopped smothering, maybe the charm would work to.' He winced at the pain but then realized something. Every visible eye was on the black hair, light green eyed eleven year old; every parent (especially his own), every person looking out the window who could see him (everyone now since they are wondering when the train is going to start moving again.), and especially the boy who he was clutching onto.
He looked down and saw tat his dad was directly under him. He could hear the screaming.
"AL! AL! YOU CAN JUMP DOWN SWEETY DADDY WILL CATCH YOU! AL! AL!" Albert paled.
"Dude." Albert said looking up into the grey eyes of his clutchie.
"Yeah."
"Tell your friends to pull us up."
"Why, that man is right under you, only a few feet below, he said he would catch you and then the train will come back for you." The boy responded. "It would be easier on all of us if you would let go."
"Dude." Albert whispered in a hoarse tone. "That guy is my dad and if you want to save a young boy from a lot of embarrassing smuggling and hugging and kissing from a overprotective father than you would pull me up. He might not let me go to Hogwarts if I let go now!"
The boy's grey eyes when from confused to understanding.
"Haden!" The boy called, and another blond haired brown-eyed boy peeked out the window.
"We'll get you up in a second Andrew, wait a minute who in the world is that! No wonder you are heavier than we thought you were."
"That might have to do that I have my carry on with me as well." Albert shouted up at him.
"Who are you, and why are you grabbing onto my friend?"
"Albert Reed and long story."
Before Haden could ask anymore questions, Andrew cut him off. "Never mind the story for now, just help us up."
"Okay guys we got another customer on the window express." Albert heard Haden say. "I don't know who it is or why he is here, but come on a pull."
Albert felt the tugging increase, and as he ignored his dad's yells and shared a grin with Andrew, he felt hope rise inside him. Until, he felt an even sharp pain come from his injured right foot.
"Guys wait, wait!" They stopped pulling, and looked at his questioningly. Why stop? They were doing great, Hayden was almost halfway in. Albert looked down at his foot and saw the problem, his shoelace was stuck, and thanks to his dad's charm, it meant he was stuck.
Unless.. His father's protection charm failed, he knew that from the pain in his foot. But what is not to say that the sticking charm won't just rip of and he just loose a shoe. It is a small price to pay to flee his dad and go to Hogwarts.
"Why?" He heard a girl's panting voice yell.
"My shoelace is stuck!"
"Just take the shoe off, or better yet untie the shoes." Another sharper, girl's voice came from the window.
"I can't reach without slipping. I got another idea; just pull the hardest you ever have."
"You heard the man." He heard Hayden say from a distance.
Albert felt that his arms were going to get ripped from its sockets. Who knew a couple of 11 year olds could cause this much force? But he forgot all about the pain when he saw his jeans rip. Just a little more. Come on. Come on. And RIP!
And he was out of right jean leg. He ignored the incredible looks on the faces of the windows of the train, the parents below, or the disappointed look in his father. He felt free.
And in a matter of moments he was in the carriage, Andrew, Haden, and three other girls were looking down at him. But he didn't care, all he could think was 'yes, finally free'.
Before doing anything else he put his head out of the window.
"BYE KINGS CROSS STATION! YOU CAN START THE TRAUN NOW" The energetic eleven year old screamed and the train shifted out of the station, for another, interesting year at Hogwarts.
The three girls, Haden and Andrew kept looking at his right leg. And he was kind of shock at what he saw.
His right foot was covered in blood and his toes were looked crushed. There was blood leaking from a wound where the pants leg cut off in the upper part of the leg. But out of all of those things, the thing he noticed most was that, the pants were so short now, that his blue and red polka dotted lucky boxers was showing.
All of the girls blushed.
"You know what Danny, how about we go into our carriage up front and I'll explain you about my plan for the opening feast." And the black hair, brown-eyed girl was out of sight.
Danny, the dark haired, blue eyed one didn't wait a second before rushing out saying "Coming Roxie."
"Wait." Albert said the two girls turned towards him. "uh thank you." The blushed beet red, and both went inside their own carriage.
When he came back, the last girl squeaked and hurried back to her own carriage, and before he could help himself, Andrew glared at him.
"What did I say?" Albert asked.
"Nothing man." Haden just chuckled. "By the way what is your name I didn't hear you earlier, or should I just call you polka dot boy." Haden looked pointedly at the boxers. Albert blushed and retorted.
"Albert Reed, but I know you know your name Sparkly." Albert smirked as Haden scowled at him.
'It was an accident, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it at all , but you sure did."
And while Andrew Mancis watched his future best friends make playful teasing remarks to each other, he was thinking if this is what Hogwarts is like before the train leaves the station, he wondered what it would be like when they got there.
