Chapter III: Donny
September 1st
The sun was already up and the birds where singing their morning song. Molly Weasley was comfortable in her warm bed that she didn't want to get up. She rolled over to one side and her eyes took a glimpse of the time. She looked hard at it and then quickly got up.
"Arthur wake up!" yelled Mrs. Weasley.
He sat up and looked at her.
"What is it honey?"
"Get up. We've over slept and we have only an hour to get the kids to the train station."
He ran out of bed and began to change his clothes. Mrs. Weasley stuck on a bathrobe and began waking the kids up. After telling them to get ready she quickly went to the kitchen and began fixing up some sandwiches. In ten minutes everyone was downstairs and was ready to go.
"Come on kids. Let's get into the car," said Mr. Weasley. He then magically moved their trunks to the car that the Ministry gave him and lock them up in the trunk. Before they left the house, Mrs. Weasley handed them a sack of sandwiches and then they all ran out and into the car. As they left the house Mrs. Weasley waved good bye.
"Oh I can't believe we over slept," said Hermione. "I hope we make it there on time."
"We will don't worry," said Mr. Weasley. "Just sit back and relax."
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea," said Ron and he lend against the window and closed his eyes.
"Hey Donny is going to be on the train?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"Yep and I can't wait to see him again," she said.
"Oh please stop talking about him," said Ron. "All throughout the summer I've heard was Donny, so please make this trip a Donny free zone."
"Oh alright," said Hermione.
On their way to King Cross Station they got stuck in the morning traffic but Mr. Weasley used some magic in getting them out and they manage to get there on time. Mr. Weasley quickly parked the car and helped them unload their trunks from the car. He gave them a hug and a kiss and then they left to catch the train.
"Goodbye kids," said Mr. Weasley as he waved good bye to them. "Behave and have a good school year."
"When have we ever behaved," said Ron to Harry.
They quickly went through the barrier of platform 9 ¾ and boarded the Hogwarts Express. They stuck their trunks to be stored and went to find a compartment. They found an empty one close to the back.
"So Hermione when will we be meeting your Donny?" ask Ginny.
"This is a Donny free zone," said Ron.
Ginny and Hermione looked at him and told him to shut up.
"He said on the train. I wonder if he has already boarded?" wondered Hermione.
The train whistle blew and the train began its journey to Hogwarts.

A couple of hours went by and Luna and Neville came in and joined them. Hermione asked them if they seen anyone that was a new 6th year but they replied no. The lady with the trolley of candy soon came by and Harry, Ron, and Neville bought a lot of chocolate frogs, acid pops and pumpkin pastes. As the time pasted by Ron and Hermione had to leave to attend to a prefect meeting and so Ginny, Luna, Harry, and Neville stayed in the compartment.
An hour went by and Ron and Hermione returned. When they came back they notice that Ginny and Luna were no longer there.
"Where did Ginny and Luna went to?" asked Hermione.
"They went for a walk," said Neville.
"So how was the meeting?" asked Harry.
"Boring as usual," said Ron. He closed the compartment door and took a seat next to Hermione. "What did you think Hermione?"
"I thought it was interesting." She was looking out the window and then she sigh.
"Hermione what's wrong?" asked Harry.
"When coming back from the meeting, I looked in all the compartments and I couldn't find him. I think he might have missed the train."
"Who are you talking about?" asked Neville
"A guy name Donny," answered Hermione.
"He might be in a place where you didn't look in," suggest Harry.
Hermione smiled at him and then picked up a book and began reading it.

The day was getting late and the sun was passing behind the mountains. Hermione was almost done reading her book and Ron, Harry and Neville were having a conversation about the candies they were eating, but suddenly they stopped. They had notice that the train was slowing down. Hermione sat her book down and looked out the window.
"Why are we slowing? We're not there yet," she said.
"Maybe we're picking up someone," suggested Harry.
"Don't say that," said Neville. "The last time that had happened we had the train full of Dementors."
"Well they didn't discus this in the prefects meeting," said Ron. "Maybe something is on the track and they have to move it."
The train got slower and slower and soon it stopped, at a train station!
"Looks like we are picking someone up," said Harry. "I wonder who."
The train stayed at the station for only a minute and began its course to Hogwarts.
"Well that was a quick pick-up," said Neville. "Should we go and find who it was that boarded?"
"Well as prefects we should," said Hermione to Ron. "It is our duty after all to keep everyone safe." She got up and went to the door. "Ron aren't you coming?"
He looked up at her with a mouth full of candy and manages to say, "No. I'll just stay here."
Hermione gave him a look of disappointment and left. Five seconds later they heard her scream. The guys quickly jolted out of the door and saw Hermione and a guy, who was grabbed her. Ron quickly ran up to them and pointed his wand at him.
"Get your filthy hands off of her," he said.
Hermione and the guy looked at the wand and Hermione quickly stood in front of it.
"Ron put down your wand. It's okay I know him."
He lowered his wand but kept his eyes on that guy.
"What happened? You gave us all a fright when you screamed," said Harry.
"Well I'm sorry. It was because of him. Everyone this is Donny. He was the one that just boarded the train," said Hermione.
"Hi everyone sorry that I worried you," said Donny.
Ron was still in front of him with a stern face.
"Come on let's get back to the compartment and I will introduce everyone," said Hermione and they headed back to their compartment.
Hermione took her seat by the window and Donny took the next seat and then Harry sat next to him. Ron and Neville sat across from them.
"So Donny let me introduce you to everyone. This is Harry."
"Nice to meet you," said Donny and he shook his hand.
"Over there is Ron."
"Oh I've heard a lot about you. Hermione can't stop talking about you, but I must say it's good to have finally meet you," said Donny and he extend his hand.
"Like wise," said Ron and he reached out to shake his hand, but when he took his hand, a cold sinister feeling ran through Ron's body, and he quickly let go from Donny. Ron then look at his hand and then at Donny. Donny looked at Ron as well in almost a shock and a confuse way.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Hermione.
"No-no I'm fine," said Ron and he then stuck his hands in his pockets.
"Okay then and finally there's Neville," said Hermione.
When Neville shook Donny's hand, the same cold feeling ran through his body and he too quickly let go of his hand.
"Uh--uh excuse me but I think I'll go and find Dean and Seamus," said Neville in a nervous tone and he quickly left.
"I wonder what got him all spooked?" asked Hermione. She soon brushed it off and looked at Donny. "So why didn't you catch the train at Kings Cross?"
"Oh I over slept. My teacher forgot to wake me up, but luckily he knew that the train would be passing by another station. So I quickly flew over here while my teacher owled the conductor to stop and pick me up," said Donny.
"Why would your teacher wake you up?" asked Harry.
"It is because I live with him. He took me in when my parents died many years ago," said Donny.
"Oh I'm sorry," said Harry. "So you like to fly?"
"I love to fly."
"What broom do you fly?"
"A Nimbus 2000."
"That's a very good broom. Well if you are really good on a broom you should try out for the Quidditch team," said Harry.
"I probably won't. I really don't know that much about it," said Donny.
"Ron and I can teach you," said Harry. "Isn't that right?" He looked at Ron and his eyebrows were down and he was just staring hard at Donny.
"What ever," he answered and then he looked out the window.
Donny ignored Ron's rudeness and continued to talk to Harry and Hermione.
"Well I'll let you know about Qudditch. Right now all I can think about is going to school. It fells strange though going to a school full of wizards," he said.
"Why is it strange?" asked Harry.
"Well when I first met my teacher, he and his friend would teach not just wizards, but other creatures as well. I've never been to an all wizard school before," answered Donny.
"Well you will like Hogwarts," said Hermione.

The train stops at Hogsmeade Station and the students go off and quickly went to find a carriage.
"Let's hurry or we won't be able to share a carriage," said Hermione.
They ran over to the carriages and then spotted Ginny and Luna. They were saving one for them. Once they all got in, the carriage began to move.
"Thanks you for holding this carriage," said Harry.
"No problem," said Ginny and then she looked at Donny. "Who are you?"
"Ginny, Luna I want you to met Donny," said Hermione. "Donny, Ginny is Ron's sister."
Ginny was so excited that she was smiling and quickly extend her hand. But Donny kept his hands to himself and just slightly bowed his head. "It's nice meeting you."
Ginny giggled and Luna bowed back.

When they arrived at Hogwarts, they all headed towards the Great Hall, and along the way they ran into some of their Gryffindor roommates.
"Hey Harry. Hi Ron," said Seamus. "Who's the new guy?"
"His name is Donny. He'll be joining us as a new 6th year Gryffindor," answered Harry.
"Well it's nice to meet you Donny and welcome to Gryffindor," said Seamus as he shook Donny's hand.
"So where are you from?" Dean came up right next to Donny and Seamus.
"I was born in a small town in Wales. Now I live outside of London."
Just then Dean and Seamus got pushed aside and Lavender came up and wrapped an arm over him.
"Hi there," she said.
"Hi. I'm Donny."
"Lavender Brown. If you ever need anything, anything at all just ask." She gave him a seductive smile.
"Back off Lavender he's mine," said Hermione. She went right up between then and butt bumped her away.
They soon entered the Great Hall and took a seat and waited for the feast. After the first years were sorted Professor Dumbledore stood up and gave some quick announcements. Right before he ended he introduced Donny. He sat down and the feast begins. The Gryffindors welcomed Donny with open arms, well all but Ron and Neville. They sat quietly together looking at Donny.
When the feast was over, they headed towards their Common Room. The guys were up in their rooms talking with Donny; as for Neville sat quietly on his bed with the bed sheets covering him. Close to 10:00 p.m. Ron enters from just coming from a prefect's meeting.
"Ah I'm beat," he said.
"I thought you would never come back," said Harry. "So what are you guys planning this year?"
Ron went over to his trunk to find is night clothes.
"I can't tell you much, but I should advise you all to get a Halloween costume on the Hogesmeade trip."
All the guys looked at each other wondering what could they possibly need costumes for. Ron soon changed out of his robes and got into bed.
"Well I'm going to bed. If you are all staying up please keep your voices down," said Ron. He lay down and went to bed.

It was way past midnight and everyone was in bed fast asleep. Ron was turning back and forth and then suddenly he opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around and saw everyone was in bed and began to lie back down. He was about to go back to sleep when he just remembered that Donny's bed was empty. He got up and went over to his bed. The bed was neatly made.
"Where could he be?" asked Ron.
He then turned back to his own bed when suddenly he thought he heard some noises outside the door. He slowly creeps to the door and as he was nearing it he could see a shadow of someone. When he opened it; though, there was no one. Then he decided that maybe that person was down in the Common Room, so he went down to check it out. When he reached the Common Room, no one was there; though, a window was opened. He went over to it and looked out. After about a minute later he closed it and went back to bed.
