Chapter 3~*~The Train Ride
Okay, here's Chapter 3 of my story, Harry Potter and the Mirror of Dreams. It may seem shorter, but that's only because I changed my font to 12, instead of 14. It was getting kinda annoying, and it looks better this way, don't ya think?

"Hey Shannon, this way!" yelled Cathy. "Coming!" replied Shannon. The four sisters, and their mom, were on Platform 9¾. Shannon was bouncing her basketball, and forgot what she was really here to do. She followed Cathy over to the train steps, where her sisters and her mom were saying good-bye to each other. "Bye, mom." Said Shannon, as she hopped on the train. "Hey, wait, aren't you going to give me a kiss?" "MOM! NOT IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE!" "Oh come on honey, a hug?" said her mom, inching her way towards Shannon. "Mom, no…" As Shannon backed up, she bumped into someone. "Huh? Oh, sorry…" She turned around, and there stood the boy that she had heard so much about, Harry Potter. She gazed in awe at him, as though he was the President. (Does England even HAVE a president?) Harry noticed she was staring at his scar, and said, "Yeah, I'm Harry Potter.", as though he had already said that a million times. Shannon almost fell, Tiffany gasped, Renee clutched the railing, and Cathy flushed. "Harry!" said a voice from behind, "I found a car that's completely empty! Come on!" Shannon saw a boy with freckles, tall, thin, with fiery red hair. Without thinking, she and her sisters followed them to the car.

"So, do you remember anything?" "How did you feel when you figured out you were you?" "Did it hurt?" "How old were you when you found out that you weren't a muggle?" The girls had a million and one questions to ask Harry, which most of them he couldn't answer. Meanwhile, Ron was busy gazing at Renee, who was busy getting out any book that had to with him out, so he could see how famous he was. Tiffany was busy staring out the window, pointing out famous places in the wizard world. Shannon was busy looking at her Quidditch book, and was pointing out famous players to Harry. Cathy was basically staring at Harry, asking him the most questions. And Harry was basically staring at Cathy and Tiffany. If he had a choice, he would probably stare at Tiffany, since he was only staring at Cathy because she was right in his face. During all of this confusion, the car door slid open, and there stood a girl with bright, bushy red hair. (Okay, okay, I know, I know. You're probably thinking: HERMIONE HAS BROWN HAIR! Well, I'm putting in my own characters, and revising the others, cuz I wanna be creative.) "Have you seen a toad? Neville's lost one." Were her first words. "Huh?" said everyone. "Have you seen a toad? Neville's lost one." "We heard THAT." said Cathy, "We just didn't see a toad hopping around here. If we had, you probably would've heard me scream." "And we wouldn't want that!" exclaimed Shannon, "Trust me." "Hmm?" asked the girl in confusion. She was looking around the room, and spotted Harry. When she looked away, it registered in her mind that he was Harry Potter, the boy who lived. "You're- you're Harry Potter?" she said in awe and disbelief. "Uh… Yeah, I guess so." He replied. She sat down in the seat next to Cathy, and started talking about how she had seen his name in Hogwarts, A History, and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts, and all the other books having to do with the Dark Arts. While she was talking about all of this, Ron said in annoyance, "What's your name again?" "Oh, right, sorry. I'm just so excited to see HARRY POTTTER. I mean, he's in all my school books, and in everything that I have read, and-" "WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!" "Oh… Courtney. Courtney Horan." (Yes, I'm changing the character names too, as if you hadn't already noticed. ^_^) "Thank you." Said Ron, in REAL annoyance. He didn't, or rather couldn't, believe she could talk so much in one breath. The car door opened again, and in stepped a small, frightened looking boy, sobbing. He said, "Courtney…*sob*… have you found my toad yet? Because we're about to get off…" "Sorry, Neville, no." Neville stared at her for a minute, and then ran out of the room. "I feel bad for him." Said Courtney, "Such a frightful boy." 'I feel bad for him," mocked Ron in his mind, "Such a frrrrrrrrrightful boy!' Suddenly, there was jerk, and the train stopped. "EVERYBODY, OFF!!!!!" yelled a voice from outside, "WE'RE HERE!!!!!!!"
