CH 4 Something new

Unfortunately I don't own anything but the plot and the obvious if I did I'd be loaded like JKR

AN. I know its short but I felt in necessary for not making a huge next chapter Don't forget to review and give me help and inspiration

Travis was slowly walking down the third floor corridor accompanied by Neville longbottom on the guided tour of the castle but slowed and looked wearily at one particular door on the right trying his best to keep his tone casual

"Still don't keep fluffy in there do you"?

Neville turned to look at him with a confused look

"What?-"

Neville started to ask while turning to the door in question, he immediately realised what Travis meant and his usually cheery face turned to give a more cautious and serious look. The three headed dog was far from the most dangerous thing he had encountered now but it was still the first taste of the "adventures" the golden trio had and still left him with flashbacks of him as a kid looking up at the monstrous dog

"Oh...that. No, we don't thank Merlin"

It only stuck Neville as they started walking again that incident had been over five years ago

"How do you know all this may I ask?"

Travis thought how best to tell one of the best friend of the golden trio how there where a set of books about harry that got close as to say they stalked him for the best part of seven years

"Well... there are a set of books in the muggle world which everybody thinks are fiction but well... with this (motioning to the castle around him) it's evident it is much more fact than fiction".

Neville stoped and looked at the muggle with a look of disbelief.

"Wow wow, back up. Are you telling me there are books about my world which are accurate!"

Travis didn't know how to put it rubbing the back of his neck with the guilty felling he had but thankfully got a better idea than trying to explain anything and rapidly tried to think of how to make it all go to plan. After a couple of seconds he snapped his hear back up to look at Neville.

"Can you take me home, I think it will just be easier to show you the books rather than trying to explain"

With an uneasy look Neville gave a nod of his head and began making his way to the boundary of the school to disapparate to The Leaky Cauldron

Apon walking out of the leaky cauldron Travis felt decidedly queasy and thought it a good idea to lean against a wall for a little bit

"Never. Never again am I doing that "

Travis groaned being the only words he trusted himself to say without throwing up. This only made the smirk on Neville's face grow even more while he was standing in front of the first timer with disapparating... well conscious anyway with last time involving harry disapparated to Hogwarts with an unconscious Travis slumped over his shoulder

"You get used to it"

said Neville smirking with every syllable

"I doubt it"

Was the only think Travis managed to groan before he saw Neville looking at all the different things in the muggle world being about the first time he ever stoped in the muggle world with nothing better to do other than look at the world around him.

"Your people shore have made do without magic..."

The wizard commented only half thinking as he stared up at an airliner which must have just taken off from one of the several large airports around.

Feeling better Travis walked over to Neville and said quietly as not to break the captivated wizard's interest

"You can't miss something you don't know about".

The plane eventually was lost from sight over the building in the street which shook Neville out of the daze he had been in, Travis decided to get the ball rolling and get moving

"Come on, my house is over the road we need to cross. And DON'T get hit by a car... or god forbid a bus."

Thankfully the trip across the road was uneventful and flight of stairs later they were at Travis' door

"Wait hear, ill grab the books and be out"

Neville shrugged in comprehension leaving Travis to enter his apartment which after his reascent surroundings seemed strange, regardless he quickly made his way to his book case and picked out seven books all in order from one of the shelves and started for the door before stopping in his tracks and opening the back of the last book and carefully tearing out the last four pages.

"There's no need for them to see that for a while"

Thought Travis with half a smile and started to walk to the door but was stoped again by the sight of a bole catching the light next to the door which was filled with keys. Travis gave a laugh and picked out a couple of sets of keys before walking out of the apartment with a grin on his face which Neville recognised as one reminiscent of the Weasly twins when they where plotting something before the sad passing Fred making Neville catch up and follow hot on the heels .

"What are you up to?"

"We're taking the muggle way to Hogwarts; we should be there before night fall"

Said Travis whom had a new spring in his step and wasn't slowing down do cross the road back to the wizard world's pub but kept walking.

"Where on earth are we going, you know we passed the Leaky Cauldron and did you say we should be there before nightfall, a broom is struggling to do that. I doubt anything muggle could to that"

Said Neville who was starting to get out of breath but tagging along none the less

"Oh please, you're selling us Muggles short. Don't worry I think you may enjoy this".

Said a still grinning Travis who continued till outside a private muli-story car park and showed his licence and keys to the attendant behind the reinforced glass of the security desk for them to open the door for them, after taking the elevator to the third floor (which Neville was rather impressed with wondering why he'd never seen a lift before) Travis stopped in front of an orange car that looked rather low compared to the Range Rover next to it

"This Neville, is the McLaren MP4-12C. Isn't she beautiful"

Said Travis as more a statement rather than a question, putting emphasis in every letter and number in the name, even saying the dash in the name rather than just skipping over it. Walking to the driver's side of the car and opening the door which swung up more than forward and proceeded to hop in. Leaving a rather startled Neville still standing in front

"It's rather small for a car isn't it"?

Still rather unsure if this was a good idea and began listing off reasons against it

"You can't get to Hogwarts in a car, muggle things don't work remember?"

The man in the car merely smiled at this and simply stated

"We're only going to Edinburgh in this, then where taking something different"

Neville groaned and begrudgingly slumped in the passenger side of the car and closed the door and putting a five point harness on after being showed how only to give a sudden jump when the engine in the back roared into life.

After exiting the car park and getting onto the interstate Neville started to relax after Travis put on the radio to Neville's second of disappointment that it wasn't his favourite song before reminding himself this was muggle radio, not wizard and there for defiantly not going to have the song on but having to admit, this was much better than riding a broom in Neville's opinion, not having to worry about falling off and not getting buffeted but the wind as you flew.

The relaxation however ended as the landscape started to open out and the cars on the road started to thin out giving Travis to put his foot down leaving Neville to look around in fear as they steadily accelerating to 200Mph going past other cars with their heads only reaching only the wing mirror of the mere blurs of cars passing with Neville saying over and over

"Oh Merlin, Oh Merlin, Oh Merlin"

With a sniggering Travis loving the company for once on these trips from his apartment in London to the McCormack estate outside Edinburgh when he wanted to go back to the mansion for a while which manly concocted of just wanting to swap cars from the expansive garage it had.

AN. Nope still not at the start of the school year but went for getting Neville familiar with the muggle world instead more still fully intending to get to the school in one or two chapters. And as always im more than happy for suggestions

Forever thankful for reviews
