On the particular date in question, Harry Potter was greeted at the train station by as usual Ronald Wesley and Hermione Granger, they all entered the train on platform 9 and ¾ and sat in their usual place, Hermione with here own sofa and Harry and Ron opposite her on the other side, harry by the window looking out across the landscapes, Ron preparing his small bit of money to by sweets from the trolley when it comes and Hermione scanning books of spells and of history! This was the way it was and had been on all journeys on the train to Hogwarts, this year being their first year of college at Hogwarts (a new thing set up by their brand new head teacher) didn't seem to mean much of a change, even if they would change into different robes, even if they would be in different classes, life was the same.

It was when about 2/3 of the way through the journey that as usual the lady on the trolley came around and they buy their sweets and change into their robes, this actually caused the first bit of conversation to start.

'It doesn't fit me' said Ron

'Your robes never do fit you' said Harry

'Yes but this is different' said Ron 'they're new, all my clothes are new, nobodies ever extended their learning in our family, they usually shorten it somehow or another! So I've spent a but load of money and practically emptied this' he pulls out his gringotts key and shrugs 'and now its all a size to big or too small'

'You should have had it fitted properly' said Hermione

'I did, Wesley size 17 it's what everyone in my family has when they start work' said Ron practically waiting for disapproval the minute he said it.

'That's not exactly a reliable source to go and measure your self in, what the exchange from Wesley measure to inches anyway?'

'I don't have a clue, still it feels as it I need longer legs and shorter arms!' said Ron Wesley 'I don't know.'

Then as usual the conversation stopped and any sign of change had disappeared, it seemed as if life would go on as normal, like year 6.5 had just started. And like it had done for 6 or so years the train would arrive at Hogwarts they would get whatever means of transport down to the school gates and waltz into the ceremony, late probably or if not panting at great speed, but the one thing that always keep the train journeys interesting to level which didn't quite bore you to your boots, maybe just your ankles and the mystery guest! Every year a student, or teacher, or monster, or just a random guy would stumble – on a mission or purely by chance – into their seating area. It all started in year 7, when Hermione Granger herself came into the newly created Potter-Wesley carriage in search of a green toad, and then as her character began to show she exclaimed 'you should be putting on your robes now' this happened at the same time that all three of them now do.

It seemed at this moment in time they were all thinking of that day, Hermione actually picking her head out of a book thinking how low she must have gone and then thinking how high she is now, the three of them famous for the rebirth of the Voldemort attacked Hogwarts. Then we have Ron, thinking how different he is now, and how if he had maybe not had that dirt on his nose, or eaten all those sweets he may never have bonded with the girl how mad him pass his OWLS! Then Harry, deeply wondering about her, the now beautiful girl that she is and in deep thought about how if he hadn't have had those broken glasses he may never have met what is now all he can think about!

Now back to the mystery visitor, which as they all know comes when they least expect, but always come, weather he gets on with them or meets them off the train and just any where in between he always arrives...
