Harry Potter

Chapter 3 Insults and threats

It was the morning of departure for Harry Potter and his friends Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. Luckily Fred, George, and Percy have graduated, so the burrow was more. peaceful?

"MOM! TELL GINNY TO GIVE ME BY MY WAND!"

"I DIDN'T DO IT!"

"HONESTLY RON! WHERE DID YOU PUT CROOKSHANKS!"

"HAS ANYONE SEEN MY FIREBOLT!"

"MOOOOOOOOM!"

Mrs. Weasley was downstairs making breakfast. Although she heard the havoc upstairs she was happy that her little ones were going back to Hogwarts. She could hear Ron's furious footsteps trotting down the stairs.

"MOM! Where's my robes?" Ron called.

"They're in your trunk dear," Mrs. Weasley sang.

Ron ran back upstairs.

"HARRY! 'MIONE! GUINEA PIG! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE TRAIN! IT LEAVES IN 2 HOURS!" Ron shouted.

Ginny marched down the stairs furious. "DON'T CALL ME GUINEA PIG!" she walked in miserable into the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley was humming Hogwarts' song while she placed the eggs and bacons on the table. Ginny groaned. "I'm not hungry!"

"Why what's the matter dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Ron's been teasing me all day and all night! I don't want to go to school with him," she pouted.

"Honestly Ginny you're acting like a baby!" Mrs. Weasley hissed.

Ginny got up and started to walk out of the kitchen. "Well I am the baby of the family aren't I?"

In an hour everyone was packed and ready to go. Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny sat down at the table and had a nice hearty breakfast. George, Fred, and Percy were still fast asleep in their rooms.

Mr. Weasley ran down the stairs. He stood at the door with a big smile on his face. "Good morning! All is well?" Mr. Weasley asked.

Harry and Hermione didn't know why Mr. Weasley was in such a good mood.

"I don't know what YOU'RE so happy about because we are not flying to King's Cross!" Mrs. Weasley snapped at her husband.

"But Molly dear! What's the use of having a flying enhancement on the car if you can't even fly it?"

"Well you should have thought of that BEFORE installing the flying enhancement!" Mrs. Weasley replied.

Everyone finished eating and was ready to go. One by one they marched to the car with Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley arguing behind them.

"But. BUT!"

"You'll have a sore one if you don't stop Arthur!"

They drove off, still remaining on the ground.

Harry was looking out the window anxiously waiting to see King's Cross Station, but he also started thinking again about something.

"I think this year is going to be exciting! Don't you guys feel it?" Hermione asked. Harry nodded and smiled at her.

The car stopped and everyone came out and gathered their things. The station was crowded.

"Nine and three quarters this way chaps!" Mr. Weasley said as he beckoned them towards the border. "You first Ginny."

"OK" She positioned herself and ran into the border.

"Harry you're up!" Harry looked around to see if anyone was looking, then finally he positioned himself and kicked off. He felt as if he was going in slow motion, he could hear his feet stomp on the ground, then suddenly as his cart with all this possessions had hit the barrier Harry saw that green flash of light. He cried out and shut his eyes, suddenly he was on platform nine and three quarters.

"Are you all right?" Ginny asked a little concerned on how Harry looked.

Hermoine appeared, "Harry we heard you scream! Is everything all right?"

Ron appeared next. "All right there Harry?"

"I saw it. It keeps coming back!" Harry muttered.

"What keeps coming back?" Hermione asked.

"The Avada Kedabra curse. I saw it a while ago!" Harry blurted out.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were standing right behind Ron, and they heard what Harry said. Ginny started to whimper, and both Ron and Hermione went pale.

"Do you think. You know who is here?" Ron asked.

"Couldn't be! It's too crowded for Voldemort to make a-" Harry started to say.

"FOR GOODNESS SAKES HARRY! STOP SAYING THAT BLASTED NAME!" Ron shouted with a shaky voice.

"Sorry. I meant You know Who could not make a move here, for one thing your father's here and so are the other people from the Ministry of Magic," Harry explained.

"Do you honestly think a tiny useless and pathetic ministry could actually whole back the dark lord," a deep voice said.

Ron, Hermione, and Harry turned around.

"YOU!" Ron shouted.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Hermione asked.

"Shut up mudblood!" Malfoy snarled.

"I say there son, don't you have manners? If you're going to call people names like mudblood don't do while I'm here," Mr. Weasley said gently.

Draco smirked, his ice blue eyes gave Harry the chills. He was obviously tall, handsomer, and meaner than ever before.

"And what will you do? You can't do anything in your rank!" Draco hissed.

Ron went red with anger, he gripped his hands firmly to land a punch right in Draco's nose, but Hermione refrained him.

"He's not worth it!" Hermione whispered.

"Well, well, mudblood actually has some sense, punch me, and you punch your father right to rock bottom," Draco laughed. He looked at Mr. Weasley. "Well big guy! What will you do to me?"

"I have the power to expel any student that violates the law and respect of fellow wizards and muggles," Mr. Weasley said very highly. He looked at Hermione. "I suppose this isn't the first time he's called you this right Hermione?"

Hermione glared at him. "He's called me a mudblood ever since my second year!"

"Yeah, I replaced her name. I think her new name has a sort of ring to it.. Mudblood," he whispered and started laughing.

"That's it young man I'm afraid I'll have to expel you!" Mr. Weasley shouted.

Mrs. Weasley glared at the young Malfoy, while Harry and his friend's face lit up! Draco. gone? Too good to be true Harry thought. And boy was he right.

"Not on my turf Weasley, expel my son and I'll see that you never get a job for the ministry again," a cold and dark voice said as he walked up to Draco.

"Lucius!" Mr. Weasley growled.

The man looked almost like Draco Malfoy, he wore a black trench coat with a black suit. He placed his hands on Draco's shoulders.

"My son. Did you hurt anyone?" Lucius asked.

Draco looked at Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys. "They seem to be fine father."

Lucius released his son and walked up to Mr. Weasley.

"You threaten my boy one more time Weasley and I'll throw you in Azkaban! I have a right to. So I suggest you stay away from my son!" he growled. He turned around and started to head to the other end of the train. "Come Draco, we have no time for mudbloods, and losers."

Draco smiled and walked towards his father's direction. The Weasley's glared back.

"Well there goes twiddle dumb and twiddle dumber." Hermione whispered in Harry's ear.

"I swear one of these days." Mr. Weasley muttered angrily. The train started the whistle.

"OH DEAR! We better hurry! Arthur! FORGET THOSE GITS AND HELP THEM ON!" Mrs. Weasley instructed.

"Sorry Molly it's just that. Those Malfoy's really upsets me!" Mr. Weasley said.

"I know honey, but forget them and help Ginny she's got a lot of things in her trunk," Mrs. Weasley replied.

Ginny tried to push her trunk up onto the train, he was about to fall back on her until Ron and Mr. Weasley came to her rescue. "Thanks," she said with her face blushed.

Harry helped himself on the train with his trunk along with the rest of his friends and soon the train was leaving.

The whistle blew again and the train began to move.

Mrs. Weasley was waving to them with her handkerchief. "BYE GINNY! HAVE A GOOD YEAR! RON! STAY AWAY FROM MALFOY! HARRY DON'T GO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE! HERMIONE! GOOD LUCK WITH ARITHMACY! BYE!"

"BYE EVERYONE! AND RON! DON'T MIX YOURSELF UP WITH DRACO! PLEASE!" Mr. Weasley shouted.

Everyone waved goodbye and the station was going out of sight.

It was a rather uneventful trip out of Muggle land. Hermione and Ginny were sleeping and Ron and Harry were looking out the window.

"Hey Harry! What do you reckon will happen this year?" Ron asked.

"Well.. I hope we get a good defence against the dark arts teacher like Professor Lupin, or Mad eye, but I don't know. Something tried to stop me from coming back. Although I really didn't let that worry me," Harry said with a giggle in his voice.

"You mean those dreams and you know who?" Ron asked.

The train started to wobble, and Hermione's head was on the window. She knocked into the window which woke her up. "ouch." she rubbed her head which made her beautiful curls bounce.

"Good morning sleeping beauty!" Harry teased.

"Oh please. I wouldn't call that sleep, more like a headache," she grumbled while still rubbing her head.

"What were you saying Harry?" Ron asked.

"That same dream keeps occurring and it doesn't want to leave me," Harry answered.

"You mean the Avada Kedabra curse?" Hermione asked.

"Not only that. But Dumbledore. you know when something disappoints him he has a sad look?"

Ron and Hermione both nodded.

"Not this time. He was extremely angry, he almost reminded me of Vernon!" Harry exclaimed.

"Why! What would make him so angry?" Hermione asked.

"There was also someone kneeling near a corpse. It had a dark hood and cloak covering them so I couldn't see," Harry told them.

"It had to have been you know who!" Ron said very loud.

Harry hushed him. "We don't want to scare anyone! There was also one thing I didn't tell you, I just figured it out this morning on the car ride to the station.. It wasn't just a dream, it was a premonition! My scar was hurting! Usually when my scar hurts it's warning me of danger! I think You Know Who is at Hogwarts!"

"What! IMPOSSIBLE! NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR! HE'S YET AGAIN STILL AT HIS LAST BREATH!" Ron yelled.

Hermione covered his mouth. "You git! You'll scare everyone!" she whispered.

Ginny was still asleep though.

Harry continued. "Look at the sky! It looks just as gray when we were back at Diagon Alley!"

"Yes. I feel something's about to happen," Hermione agreed.

"Do you guys have a cold feeling in your heart?" Ron asked.

Harry and Hermione nodded. They looked at Ginny. "We have to protect everyone! Prepare for the worst you guys," Harry said very seriously.
