Chapter 6
For the next week the Weaslys, Harry, Hermione and Addy stayed at the Leaky Cauldron. There had been no sign of Logan; no one had seen her since she left the Leaky Cauldron earlier that week. Hermione was was extra suspicious and she kept asking Addy questions.
"Where is Logan?"
"Who is she with?"
"What is she doing?"
"When will she be back?"
"Why has she gone?"
"How come she hasn't been to Hogwarts before?"
"Are you sure she is coming back?"
Addy handled Hermione's questions very well. She didn't crack under the pressure she just kept answering with the same response.
"I dunno." And the occasional "I don't know."
"Give is a rest Hermione." Ron would say.
"I don't mind, and I'm just always going to say 'I dunno.'" Addy said.
That annoyed Hermione. She knew the only way to find out what Logan was doing was to get to Addy. Addy had to slip once. And when she did Hermione would have the scoop on Logan and a reason to dislike her even more.

"Hurry up now, before you miss the train." Mrs. Weasly said. "Harry you go first with Addy." Mrs Weasly gave Addy a kiss on each cheek and hugged Harry with her plump arms.
"Now be good this year you hear?" She said "Bye Addy dear it was nice meeting you." And she smiled at Addy.
"C'mon Addy." Harry said while pushing his cart onto Platform 9 ¾ with Addy next to him. They walked threw the brick wall between platforms 9 and 10 to transport them to Platform 9 ¾
"Here we are." Harry said.
Addy was looking all around for Logan but couldn't find her. Addy looked upset that she couldn't find the familiar face of her sister.
"We'll find her don't worry." Harry said reassuring her. Addy smiled.
"Thanks Harry."
"Let's go put our trunks in the back of the train."
Both pushed their charts to the last boxcar to hull their trunks into the car. In Harry's first year he could barley lift the trunk onto the train now Harry was beginning to get stronger and growing some muscles. Now it was a piece of cake.
Harry lifted his trunk up onto the boxcar then a black cat jumped down and rubbed against Addy's leg. Then Logan jumped down from the boxcar that was filled with student's bags, and trunks.
"Hello Harry, hello Addy. How was you stay with the Weaslys?"
"Logan!" Addy said and jumped into Logans arms.
"Well I guess you missed me."
"Ah huh."
"Welcome back Logan." Harry said while lifting Addy's trunk onto the train. "How was your.whatever you were doing?"
Logan sighed. "Exhausting. But I'll live." She looked around noticing only Harry and Addy. "So where is the Peanut Factory?"
"There they are. We were first to come threw the platform."
"Oh yes I see."
Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George all pushed charts towards Harry, Addy and Logan.
"Why hello Logan. Where have you been?" Hermione said straight up.
"'Ello Hermione where I've been is of no concern of you." She said while helping her with her trunk.
"You know I made prefect." Hermione bragged.
"Am I supposed to be impressed?"
"Well you should be, your going to have to listen to me this year." Hermione said with a grin.
"No necessarily." Logan said pulling out a Prefect badge.
Hermione's mouth dropped. "But, but, but," where the only words Hermione could process threw her brain. Then she gathered her wits and said:
"How did you become a Prefect? You have to be in a Hogwarts House."
"Hermione my dear I will tell you about one part of my trip and that was to Hogwarts. I was sorted into Gryffindor and awarded a prefects badge." She said.
"This is becoming a trend Fred. Let's get out of here before we decide to become prefects." George said.
"Good idea. Well see you lot at Hogwarts. Adios." Fred said as he and George ran onto the Hogwarts express to find their friend Lee Jorden.
"Come now lets find a compartment before they are all full." Logan said.
They all walked onto the train and quickly found probably the last empty compartment on the train full of students. They all sat down happy to be returning to Hogwarts.
"Did you all miss me?" Logan asked.
"Oh yes." Hermione said. "Tons."
"Glad to hear it Hermione ol' chap."
"Ugh back to potions." Ron sighed.
"What's so bad about potions?"
"The teacher." Harry said. "He hates me. He has it out for all Gryffindors. You better watch out."
Logan laughed. "Who is the professor?"
"Snape." All three said.
Logan stopped laughing. Most of the color in her face began to fade. "S-s- s-Snape? Severus Snape?"
"Yes unfortunately."
Logan looked as though she had just been stabbed in the back, shot in the chest and hit in the head all in one. Then her attitude changed. She straightened her black silky hair and tugged on her robes. She gathered herself and put her hands together.
"Severus Snape." She muttered to herself. "He is head of Slytherin house I presume?" She added.
"Yeah. How did you know that Logan?" Harry asked.
"Just a guess." She said and looked out the window at the moving scenery.
Addy, sitting across from Logan, had a concerned look on her face for her sister. She just looked at Logan. Then for some unknown reason Logan game a slight nod.
"So Harry can't wait until Quidditch eh?" Addy asked.
The ice broke and they started chattering away except for Logan who continuously stared out the window. Almost halfway there they unfortunately hear the familiar voice of Draco Malfoy.
Rudely Draco opened the compartment door with out knocking.
"Oh its Potter Weasel and Granger." Then he spotted Addy and Logan. He walked over to Logan, pushed Addy over so he could sit across from Logan who stared at Draco.
"Draco Malfoy?" She said.
"Why yes. Have you heard of my charm?" And he smiled at Logan.
"No not exactly."
"I believe I did not catch your name."
"Because I didn't throw it."
Malfoy ignoring that comment asked. "Why are you sitting with flit such as this?" He said gesturing to Harry, Hermione and Ron. "Surely you would much rather enjoy sitting in upper class with me. Your beautiful face looks familiar, what is your name?"
"I am Logan Figg. I would be flattered but I do not take compliments from scum like you Draco." She said simply.
Ron started to laugh. "Shut up Weasel." Then he looked at Logan's face seeing no regret in it from the last comment. "If it's going to be that way your making a big mistake Logan Figg." Malfoy said leaving the compartment.
"You okay Addy?" Logan asked.
"Yeah but I think I got Draco cooties."
"That was so funny Logan!" Ron said still laughing.
"You sure did put him in his place." Harry said.
"I don't know who he thinks he is walking in here like he's prince charming. Trying to butter me up.I haven't seen anyone act that way towards me since.no wait never mind I never said any thing."
"Who Logan?"
"No one never mind I was thinking of the wrong situation."
Harry remembered what happened in Mrs. Figgs office when Logan and Mr. Malfoy had that argument. He knew if he had told Hermione that she would become even more suspicious of this Logan Figg.
The train ride dragged on. Addy went and sat on Logan's lap and soon fell asleep as Logan was holding Addy in her arms humming the same song the night Voldemort had found them. Harry recognized it from somewhere. The beautiful notes spinning around his head. Where had he heard that before?
Logan pushed aside a piece of Addy's hair that was in her face and kissed sister on her forehead.
The Ron said:
"Do you think snuffles is safe with Mr. Lupin?"
Harry and Hermione both stared at Ron and Ron knew he had made a mistake.
"What? We can't call him Professor any more." He said.
Surprisingly Logan said:
"Remus Lupin?"
"Yeah. He used to be our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. You know him?" Harry said.
"I've meet him a couple of times."
"Have you seen him this summer was there a black dog with him?" Harry said.
"A black dog." Logan thought for a while and smiled. "A black dog!" Then she realized what the question was and hid her happiness. "No I haven't seen him. Last time I saw him Addy was a toddler."
"So you were what? Seven year old?" Hermione asked.
"Seven years old? Oh yes yes." Logan said. "Can barely remember then. So is the black dog his pet?'
"No." Ron said.
"RON!" Harry and Hermione said.
"I mean.yes, yes! It is his pet.sorta."
"RON!"
"I'll shut up now."
Ron didn't talk for the rest of the trip for soon the train was stopping into Hogsmeade Station. Addy stirred in Logan's lap. Her crystal blue eyes opened while she yawned.
"We're there already?" She said rubbing her eyes.
"Yup. You're going to love it here at Hogwarts Addy." Harry said.
They walked off the train together and heard the familiar voice of the Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeous Hagrid.
"Firs' years this way! Follow me now! Firs' years!" He yelled.
Logan bent down to talk to Addy.
"Now you're going with Hagrid. I'll see you in the Great hall when you get sorted."
"Ok." Addy said. She kissed Logan and skipped off to follow Hagrid.
Logan looked worried with letting Addy go.
"Addy will be ok. Hagrid would never let anything happen to a student." Harry said.
Logan nodded and swallowed walking into a carriage to bring her to Hogwarts.
For the next week the Weaslys, Harry, Hermione and Addy stayed at the Leaky Cauldron. There had been no sign of Logan; no one had seen her since she left the Leaky Cauldron earlier that week. Hermione was was extra suspicious and she kept asking Addy questions.
