Chapter 4

A Change for the Worst

Suddenly there was a crash and the train came to a halt. Everyone in the train flew forward. There was screaming, yelling, groaning, and whimpers coming from every direction. Hermione had flown into the window head first, Harry flew into the other compartment and fell next to Sereana, and to Ron's luck he fell onto the seat.

"I am going to see if Carla and Ginny are okay." Harry muttered. He got up and ran down the hall. Harry slid open the door to the compartment he saw Carla go in to. To his surprise he found Carla curled under some boy's arm that he had never met, nor seen before. Ginny, on the other hand, was sitting in a corner reading a magazine. The boy looked Italian, with his black hair slicked back, his tan skin, and his Italian cologne (which was very strong). He was probably a Slytherin. Harry looked at her face; she looked as happy as a clam and acted as if she were at a party.

"Hello." said Harry sarcastically. Carla quickly stood up and fixed her jeans. The boy stretched and yawned. He looked at her and smiled. She smiled back then stared at Harry, as if expecting to be hit by a whip. She turned red with embarrassment and quickly turned and said, "I have to get going, c'mon Gin'." The boy stood up as if to kiss Carla but she moved her face, and instead hugged him.

"No, first Carla introduce me. Don't be rude." Harry gave a very fake smile toward her. She shrugged her shoulders and said. "This is my cousin Harry. Harry this is Margo." she in monotone. The train gave a loud moaning noise and started to move again.

"And how long have you known him?" he said in a very sweet voice.

"Thirty minutes! What's it to you?" she asked darkly.

"Because I want to embarrass you! Now you will say good bye and come join me in a compartment down hear little cousin." Harry said loudly.

"C'mon Ginny." said Ron trying not to laugh. Carla stormed out of the compartment with Ginny sticking close behind. Once Harry had shut the door he and Ron burst into laughter.

"How could you do that to me?" Carla said angrily.

"Any guy that can get to be that friendly with you that fast is a….. What word am I looking for Ron?" Harry looked at him and winked.

"Creep, sketch, possibly someone who wants to take your soul and put it in a bottle?" Ron joked but Carla was hardly amused.

They walked back into the compartment. Draco sat on the seat with his legs propped up on the seat opposite. Hermione was awaiting them with a worried look.

"What's wrong?" asked Ron.

"A medi-witch is here to see Crabbe." Hermione grabbed a book out of her bag.

"So, I mean he was slammed around a lot Mione." Harry said plainly.

"I know, but, I don't know…." She left it at that and kept on reading.

"Carla you owe me ten Sickles and a Galleon." said Ginny bluntly.

"For what Ginny!?" Carla sounded confused.

"For not telling Harry what happened while I was reading The Quibbler." Ginny smirked at her.

"You wouldn't!" said Carla horrified.

"Tell me! I have more money than her!" piped Harry.

"Okay show me your entire mullah and I will see who has more." Ginny went back to her magazine. Harry searched his pockets and to his luck found enough to pay Ginny thirteen times!! Carla didn't seemed to have that much. They held out their hands while Ginny counted.

"Sorry Carla he has more." said Ginny taking the ten Sickles and Galleon.

"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!" she screeched and slid down in her seat.

"Yeah yeah, now Ginny, spill your guts!" said Harry excitedly.

"Okay, well, when we first walked in there was Margo and some other guy named Nick. They are both Italian brothers, but Margo is in Slytherin," Ginny made an impression of Goyle, "and Nick is in Hufflepuff. Nick left after a while and then your sister here, "Ginny motioned toward Carla, "decided to get chummy with Margo. Margo goes 'Could you come to Italy with me?', and then of course there's the snogging! Honestly Carla, you really need to get a hold on yourself. Then we stopped, and you came in. That is all I know."

Harry stared at the ground and then started laughing. Carla looked up, she was smiling with embarrassment. She quickly looked out the window again, and then Ginny gave out a loud groan.

"Ronald Weasley! Did you take her? Give her back!" Ginny was anxiously searching her bag. Ron smiled and pulled a little kitten out of his pocket. She had black and silver stripes all over her, and at the end of her tail was a little bit of white. She had a pink spiked collar and gave out a tiny whimper as Ron handed her back to Ginny.

"It's okay Ivana. The mean boy is not going to keep you, I am." Ginny cooed.

"Where did you get her Ginny?" asked Hermione.

"I found her in the garden, but mom doesn't know about her yet. I was waiting to tell you on the train when she disappeared." said Ginny, as she cuddled the little kitten, and scowling at Ron.

"What? She likes me Ginny! Not you!" Ron said sarcastically.

"Yeah right! She only clawed your arm to show you affection!" Ginny replied.

"Guys, I think we are going to be there in a few minutes, we ought to get changed."

"Yeah, sure." Harry replied. He felt so tired and he wasn't even at school yet….
