The next morning they were up at nine AM, they had a quick breakfast. The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione were supposed to leave The Leakey Cauldron at 10:15, but they did not leave till 10:35. They nearly did not make it to the train. Once on the platform they had to hurry, they got get their bags on the train, and said their goodbyes to Molly and Arthur. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins got a compartment together, it was occupied by someone else. But it was only one man, the man wore all black robes. His robes were shabby. He had a shabby black case to match. He was in his mid-30s. They all sat down
''I wonder what is his name,'' said Ron. ''Is he the new DADA teacher?''
''His name is Remus Lupin.'' said Hermonie, ''says it right there on his on his case.'' She said this pointing at his case.''
''So this is our new DADA teacher,'' said Fred. '' Let's hope he is better than Lockhart.''
''Anyone would be better than him,'' said, George.
It was raining outside. People were bustling up and down the corridors. Some people dropped in to say hello. After a while, the sweet trolley came round.
While they were eating Harry decided to tell his friends about his trip to muggle London.
''When I was in Diagon Alley, I decided I would take a trip over to muggle London,'' said Harry. Harry out of the corner of his eye, thought he saw Lupin smile. But it only lasted for a moment.
''That was really dangerous,'' said Hermonie.
''Wicked,'' said George.
Hermonie looked at him. ''He could have been killed.''
''He was in no danger Hermonie,'' said Ron.
''Yes it was very dangerous, what street did you go to Harry,'' said Hermione.
''I went to Oxford Street,'' he answered.
''I have heard there are a few wizard shops hidden on the street,'' said Hermione.
''Yea I visited one of them,'' said Harry.
''Witch one,'' said Hermione.
''A bookshop,'' said Harry.
''Were you buying Hermione a birthday present,'' said Fred.
''OK, I may have been,'' said Harry. ''You will really like it, Hermione.''
They soon began to play games in their compartment. The countryside rarely changed as they raced towards Scotland. Few of their fellow students bothered them.
After a while Ron asked ''Did you get your Hogsmeade permission slip signed by your Aunt or Uncle.''
''No, I Did not,'' said Harry. ''I will be unable to go.''
At this moment Fred and George looked at each other, but only for a moment. Harry had known the twins long enough to know that they were planning something, but he did not know what. He did wonder were they thinking about a way to get Harry to take them down into the chamber. Last night Harry told the twins that he would not be talking them down into the chamber, he had no interest in going back down there again. He knew they would ask again, but they made no mention of it on the train.
''We will find a way to get you into Hogsmeade,'' said Ron.
''I don't think that is a good idea,'' said Hermione. ''Not with Black on the loose.''
At five they decided to get their robes on. The two girls left the compartment. The boys changed into their robes in the compartment. Ginny arrived back a few minutes before Hermione. She took this moment to ask. ''What book did you get Hermione Harry.''
''Oh a potions book, Its the one we used last year when we needed to brew Polyjuice Potion, to investigate Draco Malfoy,'' he answered.
Ginny suddenly went very quiet as she does not like been reminded of last year. As they thought it was Draco opening the chamber. It was really Ginny opening the Chamber, under the control of Voldemort. Soon Hermione arrived back, and no more was said.
Around 6 PM. The train slowed down. All the students aboard the train were shocked at this. There was still about an hour away from the castle. Many were still wearing there regular clothes.
Hermonie stood up. She said ''I am going to talk to the driver.'' She left the compartment.
They could see something moving outside the train, something very black. ''What is going on,'' said Ginny.
''No idea'' said Fred
''Someone is boarding the train.'' said Ron.
At this point, everyone was starting to feel very cold. The train went very quiet, they were all beginning to wonder what was happening. Harry was beginning to feel unwell. Ginny was beginning to shake.
Neville came into the compartment. He asked. ''Any idea what is going on.''
''No idea.'' said, George.
Nevil noticed Ginny. She was shaking back and forth. They tried to get her attention. But were unable to. She was lost in her own thoughts. She had a glazed expression on her face. Harry's thoughts had become very dark all of a sudden. They were getting worse. He began to have to remind himself to breathe. He did not understand why he was feeling like this. They started to hear a rustling of fabric, outside the compartment. Harry had a peak. What he saw horrified him. He had never seen anything like it before. The monster reminded Harry of the grim reaper. The beast was huge. Harry could not see its face. It was completely covered in black fabric. The monster gliding was down the hallway. Harry terrified, he ducked inside and sat back down. The bad thoughts were getting worse. And then he started to hear a woman's voice. Harry began to hear screams, pleading screams. He wanted to help, but did not know how to help. Then it was in the compartment. Ginny was now slumped up against the seat. The others were gathered around Ginny. They were patting her on the shoulder trying to get her attention. But she was not responding to them. Her eyes were unseeing. She was sweating and had a horrified expression on her face. Harry knew whatever dark thoughts she was having, now had control of her. Harry wanted to comfort her, but knew there was nothing he could do. As he had his own screams swirling inside his head. The cries were getting louder. And he could now hear words. ''Not Harry, not Harry.''
The dark creature was now approaching him. The bad thoughts were swirling inside his head. The others were crowded around Ginny. Ginny must have lost her balance as she fell forward. Harry went to get up, but the screams were becoming too much for him, and he lost his balance as well. The last thing he rememberer's is the screams ''Harry, Not ha—.

Harry awoke to Fred slapping him on his side. Fred and Hermione were at his side, he sat up. The others were crowded around Ginny. She was still unconscious.
''What happened,'' said, Harry.
Lupin answered him. ''You fainted Harry. Eat some chocolate.''
Harry Ate it. He soon began to feel better. Only when Harry began to feel normal did Ginny finally come around. Lupin gave her some chocolate.
Ginny got up on unsteady feet and retrieved her bag. She took out a potion and drank it. She sat down clutching her purse in her hand. Harry did not know exactly what the potion Ginny drank did, but he guessed that it is to help her cope with what happened last year.
''That's better,'' Ginny said. ''What happened after me and Harry fainted.''
''I made the Dementors leave,'' said Lupin.
''How much longer till we get to the school,'' said Ginny.
''We are nearly there Ginny. Will you be able for the feast,'' said Lupin.
''Yea I should be OK. Are you our new DADA teacher.''
''Yes I am. Il just go an talk to the driver.'' He left the compartment.
He arrived back five minutes later. ''No idea why the train was stooped,'' He said. ''We know they were searching for Black. But I don't know who told the driver to stop.''
''Must have been the Ministry Of Magic,'' said Hermonie.
Soon the train came to a stop and they got of the train, and got in a carriage that seemed to be puled by nothing. As he sat around his friends it began to occur to Harry that those screams must have belonged to his mother. Harry felt embarrassed about fainting, but he was glad that he was not the only one to faint. Ginny also fainted, Harry had to conclude that she fainted due to events in the past year of her life. Harry knew what he had been through. But Ginny was effected by the Dementors far greater then Harry was. Harry also had to conclude that Ginny was far more traumatized by what happened to her at the hands of Voldemort then what she lets on.
