Chapter 3- America-Here-We-Come!
Harry woke on Friday morning to the sound of Hedwig knocking on the glass window. He quickly got up and brought her inside. He glanced at his watch and it was 4am. He thanked Hedwig for waking him up just on time when he noticed a letter in her claws. He untied it and it read-
Dear Harry
Your Cute
Yours Always
*Smackers*
"Huh?" Harry thought as he finished reading the letter. Who was Smackers? He slipped the note into his trunk and took a shower. Soon he managed to find his way down to the main entrance where he found Tahli. They wondered outside onto the grass where they were dazzled with amazement. In front of them lay around 70 silver and gold carriages with wings. Tahli and Harry stared in amazement, they both hadn't seen anything so beautiful, well Harry had of course it was Tahli but he couldn't tell "her" that. Professor McGonagal was standing in front of them talking to Hagrid.
"Who's that?" Tahli asked pointing towards Hagrid
"Oh, that's Hagrid the game keeper, he is really nice." Harry replied happily.
When Professor McGonagall had finished talking, Hagrid approached Harry.
"Hiya Arry!" Hagrid boomed
"Hello," Harry replied
"Aven't seen ya for ages. Am coming on the trip with yers Arry! Isn't it great,"
"Really? That's cool!" Harry beamed all of a sudden.
"Yeah McGonagal asked me to come as soon as she eard! Thought I might help to keep yers under control!" Hagrid explained, finally he noticed Tahli "Ello there youngin and who are you?"
"My name is Tahli," She replied "I came to Hogwarts last week! Its great her isn't it?"
"Well ello there, where yer from?"
""Tahli is from Ferderzana!" Harry answered
"Oh really! You'll be looking forward to the trip then! Well better be off then, gotta get the carriages ready! See ya!"
"Bye!" Harry and Tahli replied
"Quiet please!" Professor McGonagall's voice echoed across Hogwarts lawns "We have to be of shortly so if you will all be kind enough to listen I will begin. Each of theses carriages have separate compartments that carry two people, all up the carriages hold 4 people. The following people will travel together." Professor McGonagall pulled out a piece of parchment. "Draco Malfoy and Karina Hulisy…Crabbe and Goyle…" Many names were called. "Harry Potter and Tahli Stephinson…Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Now please have a safe trip!"
Harry helped Tahli into the compartment. The divided screen between the two compartments could be put up or down so they put it down and talked to Ron and Hermione about what fun its going to be to discover a new world of witchcraft and wizardry!
"I wonder how long it will take to get there?" Ron questioned.
"Well it took us 18 hours by carriage when
we came over!" Tahli told them all.
"That's gonna take forever," Ron groaned.
"Actually it won't, look at the speed dial it is set for only 6 hours! That means faster!" Tahli pointed out lots of dials in front of Hermione and Ron, which were sitting in the front.
They admired all the dials for a few minutes before turning back to talk. Hermione and Ron had been getting very close lately and soon enough they started kissing intimately! With out a delay Harry rushed to close the divided screen, as he did Tahli and Harry burst into laughter. They got talking again.
"Whats up?" Harry asked
"Nothing, its just you are such a good friend. I can't imagine settling into Hogwarts without you Harry. Thankyou so much!" She lent over and hugged him.
Harry was so shocked at this he didn't know what to do. Finally he hugged her back. They pulled back and looked at each other and laughed.
"Now we just have to fill in 6 hours," Tahli said. "And we haven't even taken of yet!"
At 5:15am the carriage started to lift, they hovered upward until they were above the clouds then they floated quickly through the sky. After taking off Ron rolled down the screen,
"Hey you two," He said very happily
"Hello," Harry and Tahli said together
"Do you think we will get fed on this flight or what?" Ron said
"Dunno?" Harry wondered
"When we came over we had food, you usually have to set it up before you leave so the teachers might have done it." Tahli explained
"I'm sure that they have," Hermione said in a stuck up sort of way. With that she slammed down the screen door. Harry didn't think Hermione liked Tahli very much and obviously Tahli thought the same as Harry.
"I don't think she likes me very much
Harry," Tahli said
"Yeah she does it just takes Hermione a while to adjust to new friendships." Harry lied, he looked over at her and she was crying!
"Whats up?" Harry asked
"Nothing, its just you are such a good friend. I can't imagine settling into Hogwarts without you Harry. Thankyou so much!" She lent over and hugged him.
Harry was so shocked at this he didn't know what to do. Finally he hugged her back. They pulled back and looked at each other and kissed.
Soon after 8am a light above them started to flash and after a couple of flashes menus appeared. The menus were for breakfast and it had everything you could dream off- pancakes, toast, muffins, waffles, cereals, hot chocolates and much more.
Harry ordered pancakes, waffles and a coffee.
"What do you want?" He asked Tahli
"I'll have the same please."
They ate in peace until Ron opened the divided screen.
"Aha we got food!" Ron said as if they
hadn't
"So do we!" Tahli said sarcastically
"Oh," Ron said "Bye then!"
Tahli looked at Harry and smiled "He is truly weird!"
"I know!" they laughed and kissed passionately
"Wow, i didn't see that coming," Harry said
"Sorry," Tahli said feeling ashamed
"Why?" Harry blurted out
"Well i like you alot Harry!" Tahli whispered, Harry's mind raced what did she mean? She liked him more than a friend? He needed to know.
"I like you alot too," Harry said under his breathe
"I thought I wasn't your type and I thought you had a girlfriend?" Tahli said
Harry lifted her chin up so he could look into her eyes
"Actually you are my type," they kissed again and again and again, Harry was extremely happy. They kissed and cuddled for ages before taking a break then got back to it. Harry slowly caressed her body with his hands, he held them on her chest and cuddled her waist. He fingered the elastic lining of her underwear but pulled back, he kissed her. He so wanted to stick his tongue into the situation but he was to late, Tahli was already there. They kissed passionately sharing special moments between them. Past 2pm they noticed the menus had been there for a while, they quickly ordered a sandwich, coke and sweets. They had a fun time eating and dinking and of course talking. At 4pm the divided screen came down.
"Hello! We should be there soon!" Ron said
"Yeah i can't wait," Tahli replied
"Harry, why do you have lipstick all over you?" Hermione asked in a rude voice
"Have you two been getting it on?" Ron giggled
"So what if we have?" Harry asked, "You two have done worse!"
"I can't believe you even touched that slut!" Hermione yelled slamming the divided screen shut!
Tahli had tears in her eyes once again.
"Don't worry about her!" Harry reassured her
"It's not that. I feel so bad."
"Why?" Harry questioned
"Because I'm tearing your relationships apart!" Tahli said holding back the tears.
"Don't worry about it, she can't be a friend if she doesn't respect other people. She isn't worth it one bit!" Harry said hugging Tahli.
"Thanks," Tahli smiled.
Soon they started to descend and once again the divided screen was down. Ron's face appeared
"Hey you guys," He exclaimed "Hermione is really sorry about before!"
"Well so she should be!" Harry said "She should apologise to Tahli not through you!"
"Its doesn't mater Harry," Tahli said
"Yes it does!" Harry said firmly
Hermione's face appeared from the other side
"I'm so sorry Tahli, I shouldn't have said that to you!" Hermione whispered
"Its ok just don't say anything like that again unless its true," Tahli pointed out
"Sorry I don't even know why I said it, I think I was just a bit jealous I suppose."
After Tahli and Hermione forgave each other they started chatting again. Soon they landed at Ferderzana.
"I can't believe we're here!" Harry said holding Tahli's hand.
Tahli's friends were there to meet them. When Tahli introduced Harry as her boyfriend his heart jumped, he was glad she felt that way about him. The school was very modern outside and inside. They were given a tour of the school. It even had TV's which entertained the full-bred witches and wizards. After the tour they were shown where they would be to sleep then they went to dinner in the dinning hall, it was very posh. They ate a 3-course meal and then went back to the common room to talk. Soon they wondered down stairs to bed!
