Chapter 3~ Trouble All Around
~#~#~#~#~
"Harry! What are you doing!? You are going to get us killed, you stupid boy!" Vernon continued to yell into Harry's ear as Harry made, yet another, illegal left turn on red. "Uncle Vernon, would you please let me DRIVE!" Harry finally yelled back. For the past thirty minutes, Vernon had been screaming into Harry's ear from the back seat and driving the poor boy absolutely insane. Finally, he had to say something back, he couldn't concentrate at all! Vernon had shut up, at last. "Why are you doing this?" Vernon asked after a very uncomfortable thirteen seconds of silence. "For a girl." Harry responded sharply. It was all he wanted to say at the moment.
"A girl? Why on earth did you need the car?"
"I need to be the first to tell her that I love her."
"Why, there are more?"
"Yes, three. My friends Ron, Neville, and my enemy, Draco."
"You have no chance."
Harry grunted. What did he expect? Approval? He was lucky that he wasn't a corpse on the side of the road yet with an enraged Uncle and a flaming car.
Silence...
"Is she pretty?"
"What?!"
"You heard me! Is she pretty?"
"She is not pretty. She is the most beautiful creature that has ever graced this plan..."
"Alright! I understand. What is her personality?"
Harry was about to die of a heart attack. Was Uncle Vernon really asking HIM about a girl that HE likes!? Maybe he really was dead on the side of the road.
"She is the smartest girl my school has seen in over two centuries. She is smart, funny, and wonderful. You have met her. It is my friend, Hermione."
Uncle Vernon gave him a blank look. Of course he wouldn't remember. This was going to be an eventful trip.

Neville was feeling terribly uncomfortable in the hard chair with a trunk, a cart and a toad on a leash. An old woman that was seated across from him continued to stare at him as if he were an alien. He tried to ignore her stare, but it was like an annoying, constant poke in his stomach. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Can I help you, ma'am?" He asked politely. The old woman looked at him, and smiled.
"You look troubled, son, is there anything I can do?"
Whatever he was expecting her to say, it wasn't that.
"No, ma'am, nothing is troubling me." He lied.
"Don't you lie to me, boy. I know when something is wrong. Come now, tell Mum Maureen." She coaxed. Neville finally gave in.
"Well, there is this girl at my school..."

Ron was flying high in the sky. The wind was whipping in his face. He was high in the air and the sun was beating his skin, and it was the most wonderful sensation. He loved it. There was nothing that could stop him now. He closed his eyes and inhaled the sweet air that stung his lungs because he was flying so fast with a wind so strong. It was bliss, and he began to think of Hermione. SMACK!!!! Something hit Ron's face and he was now holding onto his broom. He was no longer perched on it, but hanging on from the end. It was still zooming onward when he saw the injured duck that had hit his face fall down to the earth. Now what was he supposed to do? He couldn't hold on much longer and he had killed a duck. Things weren't looking good for him. He continued to hang onto his broom as it zoomed towards Hermione's house.
~&~&~&~&~
Draco ran out of the station as fast as his four legs could carry him. People screamed and shouted as the large, white dog ran past them. He had a plan. He would go to Hermione as a lowly, adorable stray, and when she starts to pet him, he would turn back into himself and tell her what he felt. It was perfect! All girls love cute beasts. He smirked as he ran right under an old man carrying a briefcase. Out into the streets he ran. He looked at the nearest street sign. 'Kingston 53 miles'. He could have started crying if here weren't so shocked. He just continued to stare at the sign with the number 53 wheeling in his mind. It should take him about thirty days if he ran.
"There it is!" Yelled a man in a conductor suit. He was pointing Draco the dog out to a man in a pair of jeans and a shirt that said 'Roy's Pound' on the front. Draco's jaw dropped. This was going to be more difficult than he thought. He ran into the street as the man, he guessed, named Roy, ran after him with a choke collar. A truck with an open back was going to pass by. This was Draco's only opportunity, so he grabbed it. He ran and jumped on the back of the truck as it passed him. Roy started to run after but stopped when he saw the dog in the truck that was driving away. He ran back to his own truck and drove after them. Draco was safe for now. He dropped his wand next to him and sat down. He didn't know where the truck was going, so he had to follow the signs to make sure they continued on the road to Hermione.
