Chapter Two - Trouble on the Train Part I
-Edwards POV-
"EDWARD HAWKINS! GET UP RIGHT NOW BEFORE I DRAG YOU OK OF THAT BED!" my dad shouted, banging my door, little did he know I'd been awake for an hour checking I had everything. I, unlike some, pack two days before I leave 'I honestly don't know how Justin and Ernie do it AND still be on time and forget little' I shake my head and headed downstairs Mom was already there cooking breakfast.
"Morning mom" I said smiling entering the kitchen, sitting down and grabbing some food
"Good morning honey, now hurry up and eat we have to leave soon" she said smiling at me before turning back to the plates "Now have you made sure you have -" mom was cut off however by...
CRACK!
Mom screamed and dropped the plates she was carrying; dad had apparated downstairs 'He always does that why jump today?'
"FRANK! FOR GOODNESS SAKE! I DO WISH YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT!" mom shrieked at dad, he just chuckled
"Sorry Cheryl, Edward didn't jump though" he said putting his wand on the table "A bit embarrassing for you darling" he smirked at me
"Humph, Reparo" mam cast fixing the plates and started muttering "Didn't see it coming... scaring me like that... tut men" Dad just laughed
"So Edward. Looking forward to school? I've heard there's to be a new captain this year" Dad said sitting opposite me. 'Here we go, I've been expecting this, lucky you prepared for it'
"Yeah I can't wait, and yes Jason left last year so a new captain and will probably mean he or she will re-pick the team" I recited having foe saw this conversation.
"Hmmm" was all I got, I knew better than to think he was finished. "Well you better practice and impress this new captain to retain your place as chaser" he said giving me a pointed look not to disobey him
"Yes dad" I replied
"Good, so is this the year you'll get yourself a girl?" dad asked
"Frank!" mom scolded "For Merlin's sake don't embarrass him like that"
"What? I'm simply asking. From what you know Ernie has a girl in Ravenclaw and we've all said Justin and Hannah are just matter of time" dad argued, I glared at mom 'Oh Merlin's ball's! Moms told dad all that!' "I just don't want to think my only son is a fa-" mom cut him off
"OKAY! Okay enough with the heavy let's just enjoy our last breakfast together until Christmas"
"Yes dear" dad said none of us spoke again until we got ready to leave.
-Platform 93/4 –
After walking through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, my was gone 'Off to talk to someone else's dad no doubt' and I was standing who is now pushing her way through to get my things on the train
"EDWARD!" A girl's voice called through the crowd. I recognized the voice that voice before I saw her. I turned around with a huge smile on my face
"Hannah" I said hugging Hannah Abbott a fellow Hufflepuff in my year and one of my best friends "Did you have a good summer?" I asked her
"It was good, glad to be away from my little sister, she's s annoying" she said
"Hannah! She's what? Four?" I asked
"Three actually but still" she laughed, I laughed with her, we settled into comfortable chat, mindless nothingness.
"Ed! Han!" Three voices broke our conversation, we turned to look at three people approaching us, all laughing
"Hey Justin, Ernie, Susan" Hannah and I said at the same time which caused us to laugh more. At that moment I felt eyes on me, I turned to look who it was
It was a boy, he has light brown 'No golden' colored hair and he is of course handsome, anyone with eyes could see that, but that's not what caught my attention, it was his eyes a beautiful shade of grey, maybe a few shades darker than the moon, I couldn't look away. 'What's wrong with me?" He finally looked away and so did I.
"Who's that?" I asked cutting whatever Susan had been saying off, and pointing, what I hoped was discretely at the mystery grey eyed boy, both Hannah and Susan giggled while Ernie and Justin tutted at their reaction.
"That" Susan said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world before she and Hannah said in sync "Is Cedric Diggory"
'Huh… Cedric Diggory'
-Cedric's POV- -Prefects carriage, Hogwarts Express-
"… And so, it is our duty as prefects to uphold all rules and make sure they are followed and misfits are properly punished" Percy Weasley the new head boy for Hogwarts has been drowning on for the past half an hour. 'I've seen my grandmother look more excited and she's 105 for Merlin's sake!"
"Are there any questions?" Percy asked not a hand raised "Ok then…. Diggory, your patrolling the back end of the train" 'Ha-ha how ironic' "Perry, the front, swap after an hour… People not positions on the train" I sighed after Weasley dismissed us 'We're not stupid you know' but left without a word.
It's been fifty-five minutes since I left the prefects carriage 'Urgh I can't wait to go sit down with my mates and have a laugh before the year starts' So far I've had every girl I've walked past swoon over me, half the Hufflepuff lads clap me on the back and say "Hi" 'I didn't know some of them' and dealt with a few minor mishaps nothing to heavy, I just walked past a carriage with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley inside it with a man I've never seen before 'That must be the new teacher Percy told us about, Lupin I think his name is' my thoughts were cut short when the train jolted to a stop nearly sending me flying to the floor years of Quidditch practice stopped me falling flat on my face, the lights all went out at the same time moments later and it became incredibly cold and I suddenly felt like I'd never be happy again. 'Oh shit! Dementors! What the fuck are they doing on the train?' I started to panic; I don't know how to deal with them! In my panic, I did the first thing that came to mind… Hide. 'Who can blame me? I can't fight them off' I dashed into the closest compartment to me, opening the door I went in slamming the door behind me. I turned to see who I had intruded on but it was too dark to see I fumbled for my wand
"Lumos" I mumbled lighting up the compartment to see Ernie Macmillan, a third year Hufflepuff, another boy I recognized from Hufflepuff but the name has escaped me, Susan Bones, another Hufflepuff girl and… 'Oh sweet Merlin, someone up there really fucking hates me' the boy from my dream Edward Hawkins. 'Wow he is gorgeous; his hair is as dark as ravens feathers, steel grey eyes…. Oh shit! He's talking to me! LISTEN TO HIM!'
"…ing on?" he asked me, I could take a guess at what he was asking but I really didn't know and didn't want to look stupid by saying the wrong thing
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked him. He looked at me for a few seconds as if calculating me
"I said what's goi-" he suddenly cut himself off and grabbed my hand pulling me down next to him, his eyes locked on the door, the light from my wand extinguished itself and the moonlight was our only source of light. I turned to look at the door and saw the outline of the Dementor. The handle of the compartment door slowly lowered, clicking open the door slid all the way across revealing the dark creature with moldy, decaying hands. It swooped into the doorway and hovered as if surveying the compartment, Susan and the other girls gasped.
After what felt like an eternity the Dementor left and closed the door 'Well at least it has manners' I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding, I turned to look at the others, they were all shocked and scared. I finally looked at Edward he was looking at me and I thought about if that Dementor had attacked us and I couldn't defend Edward.
I've never felt so useless.
Well there's part one folks part two will be up quickly =D
