Chapter One: Of Train Rides and Books

"Panting slightly and sweeping his long dark hair out of his eyes, Harry's godfather, Sirius, tuned to face him. 'Hello Harry,' he said grimly, 'I see you've met my mother...'"

Ilyan let out a sigh and closed the book in her hands. "I can't take anything with Sirius at the moment... specially not in good humour," she looked down rubbing her hands over the closed book bearing the title Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on the front, with a red and yellow bird rising in the center.
She didn't notice the boy sitting next to her look up from his paper and turn his head in puzzlement only to shrug and turn back.
Looking out the window of the train she watched the English country side pass her by. As beautiful as it was during the summer she still wished she could be at home talking to Laura or Liz. But they were both on vacation any way so she still wouldn't have anyone to chat about the book to, and her father was always to busy. Instead she decided to watch the people sitting around her, sometimes she could find Hermione, Aragorn or other book look alikes.
Her eyes wandered first to the seat across the aisle one seat in front of her. A woman was sitting playing with something in her hands. She looked to be in her twenties and was wearing torn jeans and a ripped like t-shirt. But what had caught Ilyan's eyes the most was the fact she had short spiked neon pink hair. She laughed muttering to herself, "Why that woman could positively be Tonk's and there next to her even sits Moody!" For sitting next to the punkish woman sat a older man in quite a respectable overcoat and bowler hat emerged in a leather bound book.

In front of her she watched a man with silver-brown hair looking out the window as she had been doing. He looked pale and tired and the seat next to him was empty except for a worn briefcase.

She drew her eyes away as two teen's about her age started bickering.
"I'm telling you that there is absolutely no point in you reading the novel! Come off it you never read!" a girl with longish brown hair said haughtily. She was clean and crisp pair of new jeans and a green t-shirt. And except for her tone in the voice could have been any normal 15 year old.
The boy sitting next to her with bright reddish hair and avid freckles rolled his eyes, unlike the girl he was wearing more worn-in jeans and wrinkled top, "Oh please, this actually might be interesting. Plus its not a history book, and you said you got it at a-"
"At one of my favourite stores in my neighbourhood. Just because there are more interesting books at school doesn't mean I..."

They drowned off as Ilyan gave a laugh. "Just like Ron and 'Moine.." she muttered. Though no doubt those two are just brother and sister... she thought to her self. "Probably fight over Harry Potter books anyway. Well at least I don't have that trouble."

This time the boy looked up again studying the girl before returning to what he was doing. He gave a glance over to the teens with a chuckle as he emerged himself into the work.
Ilyan was drawn to the boy next to her with his chuckle. She looked at him puzzling. He was wearing torn jeans that seemed slightly big for him and a worn old shirt that was even bigger then the jeans. His mop of black hair laid on his head messily as his bangs kept brushing just over his eyes. Glasses shimmered with the reflection of the light from the window and as he felt her stare he looked up at her startled with bright green eyes watching in puzzlement.

"Errr... can I help you?"
Ilyan was pulled out of her trance and back into reality. "Oh no, I'm sorry, it was just... well.. I'm sorry but has anyone ever told you that you look an awfully lot like Harry Potter?"
Raising his eyebrow he smiled, "Errr.. well actually I can honestly say no ones ever told me that."

She blushed, "Oh I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I mean myself I think he's kinda cute, even if I've only read books and such, but it was just you startled me so, as that was what I was reading and everything."
"Er... yeah right." he started to turn back to his parchment when she took another breath.
"Well then are all of you going to a convention or something? Like perchance are you together with them? Because I was just noticing how you all look an awfully lot like the characters and everything. I mean if your not that fine. But I was just curious as I'm travelling to my relatives and if there happens to be a Harry Potter convention near there maybe I could go or something... I'm sorry if I'm bothering you its just with all the recent news and everything."

"What'd you say? A um Harry Potter convention?" He looked in shock as though she were slightly crazy.

"Yeah you know... well never mind. I guess your not a fan. But I heard a couple were going on since June and everything. "
"Well I wasn't told about them.. sorry if your disappointed."
"No tis fine." she took a glimpse of his paper. The heading read, "The Effects of the Stars on the Orbit of Planarian Systems" she rose an eyebrow looking at him. "You know you might look into the books with him though, that papers exactly like something they would cover. Tolkien too you might like."

"Er yeah.. whatever you say. I don't really like doing this kind of stuff, but I'm not in control of what my Professor gives me for homework, you don't know anything about this stuff do you?" he looked hopeful turning a sour glance to the other teens nearby.

"Umm.. well actually..." before she even go the words however the red head turned to look at them laughing.

"Oi! Harry! Found another fan have you?"
