We are so sorry!

It has been so busy with all stars and everything, we haven't gotten a measly chance to update. We were going to update before we left for camping. We got up early and everything. Would you like to know what we found in our computer room?

Our little sister.

She refused to let us on so she could play her games. Then dad woke up and told us to get moving and help him load the food and all that.

Again, we are sorry. We hope that this chapter makes up for it.

Chapter 7 (finally)

The Kings cross station was at its normal hustle and bustle Tuesday evening. Couples were seen together, families were being pushed on trains, and small children were crying about something or other.

The strangest sight, perhaps, was that of a rather large crowd of cloaked figures. Exept, a boy who was just in oversized jeans and a shirt.

Harry Potter walked along the crowd of professors (staying about three feet within distance of them as to not appear to be walking with them.) As he walked, he stared at his feet though, no one could see it, smiling.

Harry was ecstatic to be going back to Hogwarts so early in the summer. At first he felt guilty for not thinking about the Weasleys, but if all goes well he should be with them by the end of the summer.

His eyes suddenly widened at the fact that he might have just jinxed himself. He quickly strolled over to a wooden bench with a rather small child on and smartly knocked on the wood three times before coming back within three feet of the teachers.

All of them gave him odd looks, but were distracted by Snape snearing at a small girl who was walking with her doll and towards her parents, when she suddenly burst into tears and ran to her mom screeching about a large vampire.

Finally coming to platform nine and three quarters, they were all surprised (except perhaps Harry) to see a large group of adolescent boys with multiple body piercings drawing on the supposed brick wall.

Snape was the first to react.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he yelled dramatically. A boy with possibly the most piercings responded first.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he responded in a high pitched voice making the other boys (and Sinstra with Vector, though they tried to snuffle it) laughed at the older boys cleverness and witticism.

Snape was pale with rage.

"Just get out of my sight." He hissed.

The boy made a rude gesture with his hands at Snape.

"Whatever Dracula." Was what he said. The other boys laughed again and stalking away chortling at the comments made.

Dumbledore intervened before Snape could curse the boys.

"Well, I think it is time to go through the barrier now. Harry, you first."

It wasn't much, thought Harry, but at least I will be away from the professors for a few seconds. And with that, he casually leaned against the barrier, with one last glance at a seething Snape.

He appeared on the other side of the wall where a beautiful scarlet engine met his sight. He beamed, looking around. Even if it wasn't with his friends, it was good to see the Hogwarts express again.

Roughly, he was pushed by a cold hand in the train, braking out of his stupor.

The train was exactly the same as he remembered from the starting of last school year. Except, he thought very sadly, there would be no black, barking dog to see him off.

Pushing the thought out of his mind, he started to listen to his teachers again.

"-rotten dunderheads, I should have turned them into flobberworms and used them for my potions."

"Now, now Severus." Dumbledore said. "They are just boys, not people from prison."

Snape eyed Harry with a look of deep dislike, a look that Harry was glad to return.

"Some boys deserve to be sent to prison, Headmaster."

"Yes, well!" said Dumbledore with a clap of his hands. "It is time for us to find our compartment!"

For one beautiful moment, Harry thought he was going to be able to have a compartment to his self, but was greatly mistaken. Dumbledore motioned them to follow him, so Harry did, hauling his large trunk and Hedwig's cage beside him.

Dumbledore finally stopped at what seemed a regular compartment. Everyone was greatly mistaken as he opened the door.

This compartment happened to be three times larger than any other compartment, clearly meant to fit a very large number of people. Seeing his fate, Harry quickly stowed his trunk and cage at the top of the compartment, then chose one of the seats closer to the window.

The teachers slowly filed in, one by one carrying there own things and stowing it under them. Dumbledore sat across from Harry, while everyone else just plopped down wherever they happened to be. (except Snape , who chose the farthest seat from Harry as possible, vein in his forehead looking fit to burst.

"Ah, this is very nice!" Said Dumbledore when no one said anything he continued.

"Being here all together, it is very relaxing."

Harry scowled.

"Yes Headmaster." Snape drawled with heavy and strangely contagious sarcasm. "We all truly enjoy each others company."

Dumbledore ignored him.

"Now, Harry. I believe you had suggestions for our Hogwarts Security?"

Harry stared.

"Erm….."

We are horrible, we know. We also know that this chapter was a load of crap. Unfortuneatly, we Had to get all of them on the train for our storyline before the funny stuff could begin. We also know this is really short, and we apologize again. But together, we swear that you will have another chapter within the next 24 hours.
