Hogwarts Express

The morning of September 1st was always bedlam. With three children and five of their friends was chaotic at best. Finally it was decided that once everybody was packed, they would leave their things there and Harry's parents would see them to Hogwarts (considering that that was where they were staying this was a relatively easy task.), they would portkeys to platform 9 and ¾ escorted by Molly and Arther Weasley.

They arrived at 10:55 and after saying good bye to Molly and Arther, they boarded to train. Hermione and Ron, both prefects, went to the prefects carriage. The others all went the the same compartment. After looking a round Dani cast a charm to increase the space within, which surprised no one, but made them wonder where she found not only her charms, but the time to learn them. Thinking back Harry had been surprised to find that a few days after his OWL arrived, Dani received hers. It turns out that Dani snuck in and took them four years early. Looking back, Dumbledore was a lot more surprised.

"Dani, what classes are you taking?"

"N.E.W.T. Potions, Defense, Charms, Transfiguration, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures." Neville and Luna, who wasn't there when her letter arrived, were quite stunned at this. It took some explaining for them to realize just how bright Dani was, which embarrassed her to no end. It lead to a debate as to which house she would be in (most thought either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor).

Not long after the lady with cart came by, a most unwanted visitor stopped by. Malfoy sneered "Hello Potter, ready to die?"

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna simply ignored him. Dani and Davis looked at each other shocked. "Weasleys and mudbloods do not..." he never finished as 'Bludgeon lycanthro' coming from a cross the room. He fell out side the room unconscious, and a vary pissed off Danielle got up and closed the door.

"Dani, when Dumbledore finds out what exactly that spell does, your going to be in a lot of trouble." Davis stated.

"What does it do exactly" Hermione inquired.

"It's one of my custom spells, I only use it in retaliation. It's basically bludgeoning spell joined with a spell that mimics the effects of lycanthropy. It's non permanent, but can be spread." Stated Dani, at Hermione's confused look. "if the werewolf created bites another they will get it to. To end all you only need to remove the original curse and all werewolves created by it will cease to exist. And no finite incantatum does not work."

"I really ought to take points for that, but he deserves that." Which brought laughter all a round.

Suddenly everyone was thrown toward the front of the train as it started braking hard. Several seconds later everyone was getting up very confused. Dani muttered something and fired off a spell. Hermione asked "what was that spell?"

"I was an auror warning spell. I figure that the train doesn't stop like that normally. So I figured it was a good idea." replied Dani. Suddenly a loud explosion rock the train and everyone looked at each other before pulling out their wands.

Dani knelt down and poked her head out the compartment door. It was a good thing that she did because a spell shot past at what would have been head level. She promptly returned fire before disillusioning herself. Several seconds latter reappeared and said "they are attacking students near the front of the train, we need to help."

Following her out of the compartment, the made their way to the front of the carraige. She stopped briefly and disillusoined all of them before they joined the battle. Outside of the train there was a pitched battle taking place. Several of the DA and seventh years were trying to defend the younger students.

Stepping into the battle by firing of several of the stunners that they had learned over the summer. Most to these were very old, and thus the Death Eaters shields were ineffective against them. Also they could not be countered by ennervate, so they were remarkably effective. Hermione and Luna went to help the injured both medically and defensively.

About five minutes into the battle aurors started arriving. The first ones quickly realising that they were outnumbered, sent off a help spell. After several minutes more aurors and some teachers arrived including Professor Dumbledore. The battle didn't last long after that. Once they realised that help was there and more arriving quickly, they started apperating and using portkeys. In they end about 45 Death Eater were captured.

Dumbledore sent two aurors to Saint Mungo's to warn them of the incoming casualtys. Looking a round Dumbledore realised that the train wasn't going to be repaired quickly. Just then the Potter children, Ron, and Ginny appeared in front of him wanting to know how to help.

"Dani, you know how to make portkeys. Good make one to send the others to the school to let Madem Pomfray know and assist her. Then start making ones for the non injured students." Dani nodded and grabbed a rock from the ground and cast the spell on it.

It would be about an hour before she would join up with the others. The final toll would be 7 dead and 38 injured. 28 of the injured were sent to the school and the rest to St Mungo's.
