Chapter 1- On to the station
"Uncle Vernon!" shouted the tall fifteen year old. "We need to leave now!"
"Don't talk to me in that insolent tone of voice boy! Get in the car!"
Harry walked out to the car and stowed his trunk in the backseat. He sat down next to it and waited for Vernon Dursley to come out of the house.
It was about a half hour ride to King's Cross Station, and Harry was extremely grateful to get out of the car.
"Oy! Harry! Over here!" shouted Ron Weasley. Harry recognized him, his sister Ginny and their twin brother's Fred and George by their flaming red hair.
"Hey guys! Hey Ginny! Hey Mrs. Weasley!"
"Hello Harry, did you have a nice summer?" asked Ron's mother.
"Thanks to the food you sent me, yes. And, amazingly enough, Dudley actually lost a pound."
At this last comment, Fred's mouth dropped open, and George said, "wow, did your aunt flip out?"
"Yes, she did, and we were gonna go out to celebrate, but then Uncle Vernon pointed out that he'd just gain the pound back if we did."
They started to move towards the wall that would take them to Platform 9 3/4, when:
"Hey! Guys, wait up!" It was Hermione Granger. Harry turned to look at her and his heart did a strange little flip. 'What is that about?' he asked himself.
Hermione was out of breath when she caught up. "Sorry it took so long, my dad was going on about cavities or something, and he lost track of time."
"It's ok," said Harry. They all leaned against the wall, and sank through. As they boarded the train, Ron said, "Oh, Harry, I forgot to tell you! There's a new series of chocolate frog cards coming out, and we might be able to get them on the Express."
"I got some of those this summer!" exclaimed Hermione. "They are really cool!"
"Cool," said Harry, "Now let's not MISS the Express, shall we?"
As soon as their luggage was all stowed in overhead bins, Fred and George went off to look for Lee Jordan and some of their other friends. Harry, Hermione, and Ron found a compartment that they THOUGHT was empty.
A/N-Sorry to leave you hanging! Next-why isn't the compartment empty, and what happens with the new series of cards. Please R/R!
