Chapter-2
"The Knight bus version 2.0"
The night was dark and the stars were bright, most unusual for New York. All the lights went out immediately, so nothing could be seen. Two hooded figures stepped out of a small house and into the shadows of the night. They were each carrying a trunk and the smaller figure was holding a bird cage in the other hand. They made little noise as they walked to the street. The larger figure raised one arm in the air, holding a long smooth stick and let the hood fall around his shoulders. A loud noise emitted around them, but no muggle came out of their house. A huge bus appeared in front of the two people and a short woman stepped out, wearing a purple dress, to match the color of the bus.
"Hello dears, welcome to the Knight Bus version 2.0, transport for the stranded which or wizard. Can go anywhere you want in a matter of seconds. My name is Lessas Lembotom, and I will be your conductor for the night. Where do you want to go?" Lessas said, grinning at the boy.
"My name is Dravis Celidren and this is my sister Piper." He said moving his arm toward the smaller figure. She put her hood down and brushed her bangs out of her eyes.
"We want to go to London, Diagon Alley to be exact, how much would it cost?" Piper asked, reaching in her side bag for money. Lessas looked at her concerned, then frowned.
"London? Well to go that far would cost more than you would most likely have, it costs 20 Galleons." Piper frowned, she did not think that it would be that expensive. Then took out 20 Galleons and handed them to Lessas. Lessas looked amazed, then counted the money.
"Looks like everything is in order, come in, I will carry your bags." Lessas smiled, moving to let Dravis and Piper in the bus. They picked two of the beds next to each other and sat down. After Lessas carried in the trunks, she sat down next to the driver.
"Hey, Piper, how did you get all of that money?" Dravis asked, when the bus started moving.
"I saved it. I knew that all of our money was in Gringotts and you were broke." Piper said laying down on the bed. "But your paying me back, I could of got a firebolt with that money." Dravis laughed to himself and looked out of the window, they were flying over the ocean.
"So what are you going to do in London?" Lessas asked, turning around in the seat, her black hair twisting with her.
"Were going to Hogwarts." He replied, putting some chocolate in his mouth, then he broke off a piece and held it out to Lessas. Lessas smiled and took it.
"I just graduated from there, its a nice place. I never saw you there before, what house were you in?"
"This is my first year, I was home schooled before." Dravis said flatly. "Same with my sister."
"oh...I did not know they let people do that. How did you get in?" Lessas asked, bewildered.
"We are not in yet, we have to meet with Dumbledore. Sorry to be rude, but I would like some sleep. " Lessas nodded and turned around again as Dravis began to fall asleep, the towns flying past them as they started to dream.
"Miss, we are approaching London." Lessas said to Piper, waking her up from a dream.
"Thank you." Piper said, stretching her arms, it felt like she was sleeping for hours, but looking at her clock it was only five minuets.
"That's the magic of the Knight bus 2.0." Lessas said, proud. Piper hit Dravis in the shoulder.
"Wake up." Piper said loudly in his ear. Dravis jumped up, ready to fight the invisible person in front of him. "Dork." Piper mumbled, "We are almost there."
"Oh." Dravis said, fully awake. "You know, you don't have to hit me to wake me up."
"Yes I do." The bus stopped and Lessas stood up, opening the door.
"Diagon Alley." Lessas said with no emotion. Piper and Dravis stood up and dragged the trunks out of the bus then quickly went into the Leaky Cauldron. "Have a nice night."
In the Leaky Cauldron their was a few young witches drinking butterbeer in the corner and two wizards playing chess in the other side of the room. Dravis went up to the bar and got two rooms.
"Follow me." The old man said, beckoning Dravis and Piper up the stairs. Piper took out her wand and pointed it at the trunks.
"Levielislate." The trunks slowly floated up in the air and became weightless. she and Dravis grabbed the handles of their trunks and followed the man up the stairs. He stopped at rooms 10 and 11 and opened the doors. Piper thanked him and went into the room.
"Um...Is she supposed to be able to do that...The little floating thing with the trunk? Because I thought that their was a law against that or something, with the underage witches or something? ." The old man asked, scratching his head.
"We have a special deal with the ministry of magic, we don't kill or show magic to muggles, and everything good. We already finished all of our schooling so that law doesn't apply to us, we aren't stupid first years that don't have any sense." Dravis spat the last sentence and quickly slammed the door.
"And why do I blow up when ever someone asks me why I can use magic?" Dravis said to himself, slamming his head on the door.
"Because no one could relay understand what you went through as a child." answered a female voice. Dravis turned around, to see a young woman. She was wearing a white robe and had her hair in a braid in front of her pale body. Dravis stepped back, and reached for his wand. "You don't have to be afraid, you are in no harm."
"Who are you?"
"A friend, a friend that has information that you must know in the future." Someone knocked on the door and Dravis turned around and then looked back, no one was there but a folded silver cloth on the floor.
"You better open the door, Dravis, and you better have clothes on." Piper yelled from the other side of the door. Dravis smiled, thinking that he finally gone totally insane. One second their was a girl standing in front of him, and the next she was gone.
"I've been around muggles for TOO long." Dravis laughed, opening the door to see a royally pissed Piper.
"I want money for dinner." Piper said, holding out her hand.
"Oh, you want money dear sister? Because your dear brother would love to give you any money had." He said sarcastically, feeling quite annoyed at his younger sister. He walked past Piper and walked down the stairs, piper following suit.
