Chapter 1: On the train.

'Where is Hermione, the train will leave with out her.' moaned Ron as he and Harry waited on platform 9 3/4. 'You know she would hate that. Just imagine her face if she got here and the train was pulling away.' Harry replied with a smirk on his face. Just the they heard someone calling them.
'Harry, Ron there you are.' Through the crowds emerged Hermione wearing black pedal pushers and a 3 quarter length shirt, pulling a dark haired girl along who was wearing black trousers and a black vest top with a flame design on it. When Hermione reached them she pulled the girl to her side with a large smile on her face. The girl looked slightly annoyed about being dragged around.
'You remember me telling you that my cousin would be coming with us.' without waiting for an answer she carried on, 'well this is her' pointing to the girl. Then she turned to her 'Z this is Ron Weasley and Harry Potter' turning to the boys she said 'and this is Zara Blackheart.'.
'Hi' replied Zara with a slight American accent.
'Hi------' Ron managed to get in before getting cut off by Hermione
'Come on, come on get into the train before it goes.' ushering them into the train.

'So where are you from?' Asked Harry once they were settled in there usual carriage. And then train was speeding along the countryside.
'I come from Branson Missouri in America. You probably wouldn't of hared of it, it is very small.'
'Did you go to a wizarding school?' asked Ron through a mouthful of chocolate frogs.
'I went to Absalom school of witchcraft and wizarding. It was nice there.' she replied looking out of the window not really interested in telling everyone about her life.
'Why are you here then?'
'Oh, I've always wanted to come to England its where my family is and I needed to get away from some things.'
The conversation then turned to comparing Hogwarts with Absalom. Until the carriage door was torn open by Crab and Goyle ,who then stood aside letting Malfoy in.
'Well, well, well if it isn't the Gryffindor goody goodies.' he sneered.
'Shut your face Malfoy' Ron hissed as he and Harry stood up shielding Zara and Hermione from his view.
'Why should I,' Malfoy looked at the 2 boys who stood in front of him 'you two don't scare me---- anyway who are you hiding.' Harry and Ron tried to stop him looking past them but Malfoy pushed them aside.
'What do we have here--- a fourth member? Granger couldn't you handle your boyfriends on your own, had to get in some help.'
'Get lost Malfoy-------- I would of thought you would of matured over the summer.'
'I'm still me and your still bushy-haired-know- it-all-Granger'
'Leave her alone you git or you will regret it.' hissed Harry jumping to her defence. Malfoy turned to him and was about to insult him when Zara thought it time to step in.
'Does someone mind telling me who the blond boy and his tow henchmen are.'
Malfoy smiled 'Let me introduce my self , I am Draco Malfoy, ' he took a little bow then pointed his thumb at the 2 boys at the door, 'Those two are Crab and Goyle, and you are?'
'NONE OF YOUR DAMM BUSINESS' shouted Hermione before Zara had a chance to answer. 'You've had your fun now GET OUT' she then pointed to the door.
'Oh our fun has only just begun MUDBLOOD' Malfoy turned and walked out where Crab and Goyle followed him.
'Herm' you like cutting people off and not letting them finish don't you.'
Looking slightly embarrassed Hermione sat down. The rest of the people in the carriage did the same.

' So will it work? Have you cast the spell?' asked a worried looking man dressed in brown robes.
'Yes everyone who has entered there carriage in the last 5 minutes will be sent to some where save.' replied an old man dresses in blue robes with moons and stars sown in to it.
They were seated around a table littered with ingredients from the spell he has just cast.
