cChapter 3 ~ Hogwarts Expressc

Harry was feeling very glum. He was going back to the orphanage soon, and he dreaded what would become of him when the summer ended. The only reason he knew he could go back there was because he knew that David would be there. David was the only one that would ever help him. The other two that helped him-Preston and Kyle were the ones that beat the orphans up every day. 'What's up?' asked Seamus.

'Why so gloomy?' Dean added.

'Don't wanna go back to that orphanage,' Harry groaned.

'Whaddya mean iorphanagei?' Seamus asked confused.

'What? Didn't I tell you? The Dursleys had sent me to this abusive orphanage bout 10 minutes after they found me on their doorstep. Only reason I'm in that orphanage is because I'm magical. Made sure it was an abusive orphanage before they put me down there.' Harry scowled; bitterness was evident in his voice.

'Nasty people,' Seamus growled.

'You forgot evil Seamus, but whatever. We've still got 2 hours of fun in the train, and then you could start getting unhappy,' Dean said. Harry managed a weak grin.

'That's nice of you Dean,' Harry said sarcastically. 'We better get on the train now. Hey can I borrow one of your owls?' I need to send a letter to Sirius,' said Harry, his spirits lifting.

'Sure use Athena,' Seamus offered. Athena was Seamus' tawny owl.

'Thanks.'

'You're welcome. Can someone help me lift my trunk up?'

'Sure,' Dean went to help Seamus at once.

'Finished,' Harry, Dean and Seamus exclaimed together. At that moment, Ron came in. 'So, it's the Mr. Popular that everyone adores at school isn't it? Hey you know, just because you're famous doesn't mean that you're the best you know? Said Ron angrily/ And then he stomped off.

'Huh? What was ithati all about? ' asked Harry, bewildered.

'No idea…' Dean answered equally confused.

At that moment, a panting Neville came in. 'Who is it this time?' Harry grumbled. 'Oh! Hi Neville! Know what's wrong with Ron? Just came in screaming at me and then left.'

'He's in a bad mood. Ron just asked Hermione out, but she turned him down. Said she liked someone else,' Neville explained.

'Oh, well that explains it.'

'Sorry guys, but I really have to find Ron now,' he then ran out again.

'Wonder who Hermione likes,' Dean mused out loud. 'Think it's a Gryffindor?'

'Well I doubt it's anyone from another house…she doesn't get along with Slytherin's like every Gryffindor, and she doesn't get along with Hufflepuff boys either, and we hardly know any Ravenclaws, so I don't think she knows many Ravenclaw boys either,' Seamus thought logically.

'Think it's one of us?' asked Dean.

'Might be Harry over here. That'd explain why he was so mad at him,' Seamus mused.

'Guys can we just drop it? Let's play exploding snap,' Harry interrupted.

'Okay,' the two boys agreed, but they were still grinning maliciously. They played a few games of exploding snap, pulled a few pranks on Fred, George and Lee and soon, they arrived at platform 9 ¾.

'See you guys later this summer!' Harry waved a final good bye and then went off to find David.

A/N: Hedwig was killed while sending a letter earlier in the year by Voldemort. Sorry if its confusing! Oh and Harry and Ron are usually on okay terms. Ron's not usually like this to Harry,-that was just his anger. Upload the next chapter in 1~3 days time!
