Chapter 4: The Enchanted Train

"Jason! Martha! It's time to get up or you'll be late for the Hogwarts Express!" yelled Mrs. Frek.

The Hogwarts Express is a magical train in London that takes students to Hogwarts. People get on the train on Station Nine and Three Fourths...

Jason slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. He's really tired because he was up till two talking with Martha. Jason walked over to his bathroom to take a cold shower to wake him up. After that, he got dressed in Muggle clothing so people won't think there's anything going on.

He brushed his teeth, straightened his hair and walked downstairs to have breakfast. Jason also saw Martha stumbling downstairs. Her hair was still shiny this morning and Jason though she looked very attractive when her hair was in a bun with flower pins to hold them in place.

"Hey," she smiled.

"Good morning," Jason said.

Jason's affection towards Martha grew everyday since he met her at the magic shop. He really wants to hold her, to kiss her, but he is too afraid to tell her his true feelings. They are very good friends now, and that might ruin the friendship. It would be quite awful without a friend when he is just going to Hogwarts.

Martha went to poor the milk while Jason helped his mom cook the scrambled eggs. He looked over at Martha. The morning sunlight shines through the kitchen window and makes Martha's brown hair in her back shiny and just plain gorgeous. Jason also thought that Martha had a very sexy neck. Martha's short curly hair on the base of her head is very cute indeed. Jason started fantasizing about kissing her neck and stroking her hair...

Mrs. Frek elbowed Jason.

"Jason, pay attention! These eggs are hot!"

"Um, ssosorry mom," blushed Jason.

Martha laughed, "What, Jason, you're still not awake?"

Jason turned even redder and said, "Yea, I guess so, I'm not a morning person I guess."

"So, how are we getting there?" asked Jason as Mrs. Frek, him, and Martha sad down.

"Oh, your dad already apparated to his friend's house in London. We'll use floo powder to get there. Then he'll drive us to the train station.

"Apparate?" asked Jason.

"Oh, it's like a 'teleport' spell." explained Martha, "like a car, you'll need a certain age to apparate, and you need a license as well."

"I see." said Jason.

After the nice breakfast, Jason and Martha went to check their trunks to see if they are missing anything.

"Well, maybe we can bring our tennis rackets, we might be able to play tennis there," said Jason after they finished checking their items.

"I doubt it, I'll bring mine if you want me to, but I really suggest you bring yours.... see what other strange things happen to yours."

"Alright."

Jason's trunk was huge, so he managed to fit both his and Martha's rackets in there and said, "There, we're all set."

Then, Jason and Martha floo powdered to Mr. Frek's friend's house. Mrs. Frek apparated there.

A tall, skinny man greeted them at the fireplace. "Hi, my name is Tom Martin," he said as he shook Jason and Martha's hand.

"Hello, nice to meet you," said Jason.

"Thank you."

"Where's my dad," asked Jason.

"He said he had to leave for business or something, I don't know, he told me you guys were coming and apparated, he was in a hurry to go somewhere..."

"That's strange..." said Mrs. Frek in a surprisingly nonchalant tone.

The car ride to the train station was awfully silent. Jason was looking out the window ruminating about every strange thing that happened to him. His dad started acting very strangely when Jason figured out he was a wizard. Jason's mother had been extremely nice to him. There was also the strange man and his tennis racket and that wand and Samantha.

The car reached the train station, and Mr. Martin said, "Okay, I have to go to work now, good luck in school bye!"

They waved good-bye.

"Okay, Jason, I'll take you to Nine and Three-Quarters platform. When I tell you to, just walk through the wall as if it's not there."

"Huh?"

"Just follow me," said Martha.

"Ok," said Jason.

Jason, Mrs. Frek, and Martha walked onto a platform. Mrs. Frek led them to a wall and said, "Just walk through the wall."

"Okay, I guess I'll leave now, bye mom," said Jason and he hugged his mom.

"That you Mrs. Frek, bye!" said Martha.

"Have fun in school!" waved Mrs. Frek.

Jason turned around and followed Martha. She seemed to just disappear through the wall. He picked up his trunk, closed his eyes and walked warily towards the wall. Suddenly, he felt a rush of cool air. When he opened his eyes, a great steam train was by the platform.

"The wizard world never ceases to amaze me," said Jason to himself.

"Come, Jason, I'll let me meet me Hogwart friends."

They walked onto the train and went to find a place to sit, but Jason was stopped by a boy with blonde hair around his age. "Hey, I've never seen you around, where're you from?" said the boy in a mocking tone.

"Well, I'm going to be a fifth year, but I'm new here," replied Jason.

"I'm in Slytherin, what house do you want to be in?" hissed the boy.

"I actually want to be in Hufflepuff with my friend."

"Well the Hufflepuffs are all poor, except maybe they are not poorer that the Weaslys in Gryffindor..."

"Well, I'm very rich in the Muggle world," said Jason, trying to defend the Hufflepuffs even though he doesn't even know them. Jason is already starting to hate this very supercilious kid.

"Draco! Why don't you leave the guy alone!" yelled a boy with green eyes and glasses. He had a scar on his forehead. That must be Harry Potter thought Jason.

"Well well, if it isn't the almighty Harry Potter," said boy with blonde hair.

"Leave him alone Draco. What? Just thought that you were the only rich person in the world?" said a redheaded boy next to Harry.

"I wouldn't be talking Ron," said Draco the blonde boy.

"Just go away Draco, no one likes you," said a girl with bushy brown hair whose standing next to Harry.

"Hey, who brought you into this conversation, Harry's girlfriend." The girl ran up to him and slapped him with all her strength. Draco became disoriented. Then she kneed him in the place your not suppose to hit a guy. Draco falls to the floor looking crying as Harry beckons his friends, Martha and Jason away.

When they've all sat down, Ron said in a surprising tone, "Wow, Hermione, I would have never imagined you breaking the rules on the first day!"

"Well, I just got very angry. I couldn't believe it that that stupid Draco would even make fun of a kid who doesn't even know anyone here." said Hermione, the bushy haired girl.

Then they introduced themselves to one another. Harry told Jason about Hogwarts. After an hour, Martha told Jason that she also had to meet her friends, so she and Jason left Harry and his friends to find her Hufflepuff friends.

Martha led Harry into another compartment in the train.

A very cute girl stood up and greeted Martha, "Hey Martha! How was your summer!" The cute girl hugged Martha.

The rest of the people also greeted her.

"So you guys are going to greet me and not ask who this is?" Martha asked as she pushed Jason in front of her.

"Hi... um... my name is Jason Frek..." said Jason as he turned very red.

The girls giggled. Ugh, Jason hated it when girls giggled. The giggles always made him feel embarrassed.

"Well, why don't everyone introduced yourselves to our new friend Jason here," said Martha.

The really cute girl was Jasmine. A girl with a nice figure with glasses and black hair was Mei. A kind of chubby girl who had really big eyes was Ashley. The boy with a big pimple on the nose was Adam, and a tall blonde boy was called Peter. They talked about many things, mostly asking Jason on how he managed to "survive" in the Muggle world.

At the end of the train ride, everyone left the compartment except for Jason and Martha because Martha said that she doesn't like to rush out like everyone else.

Do not now! Make the move, you are alone with her! said Jason's mind. However, another part of him was so afraid. His face turned red when he looked at her.

"Why are you so red? Do you have a fever or something?" joked Martha (who had no idea why he was so read) as she put her hand on his forehead.

Jason's face is now the color of a bright scarlet. "Um... uhh... I just feel kind of weird... you know... I think it's the... um... magical atmosphere." stumbled Jason.

Martha started to laugh real hard as she led Jason out to the hallway on the train. Then her laughter stopped.

"Holy shit! It's my mom's wallet!" she screamed as she picked it up from the floor.

"What is your mother's wallet doing all the way here in Hogwarts?!?" asked Jason.

Author's Note:

Sorry about the very bad job in introducing people. I don't want to write like Jane Austin you know. She spent fifty pages describing the protagonist. Sorry, that's no excuse for being lazy. Well, please review!
