Chapter 5-Riding the Hogwarts Express
To Harry the summer went by too fast. Before he knew it he and Hermione were leaning on the wall that would lead them to platform 9 and 3/4. Once through there eyes fell upon the train that would take them back to school, The Hogwarts express.
Harry and Hermione joined the rest of the family and started heading towards the end of the train looking for an empty compartment. They finally found one and the three of them dropped off their trunks and headed back towards the platform to say good-bye to Mrs. Weasley.
"Thank you for letting me come over for the summer Mrs. Weasley," said Hermione.
"Yes, thank you" piped in Harry.
"Oh, it was no trouble at all. You two are more than welcome to visit again this summer." Mrs Weasley told them.
"Well we better go, the train is about to leave Mum. Bye"
They clammered aboard and entered their compartment. All three of them leaned to the window to wave good-bye to Mrs. Weasley. Once the train turned and started to pick up speed Harry and Ron decided to play a game of chess. While playing Ron paused to think of his options. Harry knew this could take five to ten minutes. Harry looked over at the window and stared at their reflection. They were all growing up. He could hardly recognize them in a way since they were all considerably taller and looked more mature since their first year but we still have our same trademark traits. 'Red hair and freckles for Ron. Black unruly hair for me although I dont look so sickly thin. Hermione still has her bushy hair and brown eyes. How come I never noticed how pretty she is'
As if she sensed somebodys stare Hermione looked at the window and caught Harry's gaze in the reflection. She stared into his large emerald green eyes and she got lost in them. 'How handsome and grown up he is. He had matured so much over the years.'
They both just stared into eachothers eyes, both smiling, loving every minute of it. They were jolted back to reality when Ron exclaimed "aha, check"
Harry steered his gaze back to the game and soon lost to Ron. After such a hard game they were quite hungry, so when the food trolly made its rounds they all ordered a lot of junk food.
While eating they were they started to talk about whatever came into their mind.
"So, who do you think we will have as our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Ron asked the others.
"I don't know if there is anybody left who would want the job," Hermione pointed out.
"Maybe Snape will finally get his wish and he will be the Defense teacher. Maybe we will get a cool new Potions teacher that will favor Gryfiindor and he will tell off Malfoy," Harry pondered out loud.
"That would be cool," Ron agreed.
"Not that I don't like the idea but I doubt it will happen," Hermione told them.
"I bet you are right Hermione," Harry agreed. 'She is always right. Sigh.'
Soon they gave up on the subject and talked about other things. Neville came in and asked if they had seen his toad but they hadn't so he soon moved on to another compartment.Malfoy entered the compartment, being bored and decided to come make fun of Harry and his little friends. He was soon told off though and left having obtained his dose of amusement for the day.
A little while later the train started to slow down. Not knowing they would be arriving so soon they hurriedly changed into their robes and got ready to load off of the train. When they stepped off the platform they were greeted by the chilly wind blowing with a lot of power. They heard over the wind Hagrid calling all of the first years over to him to make the traditional boat ride over the lake. The trio hurried over to a carriage so they could be on their way to the warm castle. Neville joined them in the carriage and they were off.
When they arrived the group rushed into the hall to take a seat like most students. They wanted to get a way from the cold wind and they wanted to see who the new teacher was.
******so that is the fifth chapter. I hope you like it so far. Please review because I want to know if it is a good so far or not. I do have a lot of ideas that will start to come in to play soon. Most of what has happened is just the intro. I should be start getting into the story more soon. This story will grow quite large so do not be thinking it is short. This is just the beginning. Please review!!!!!!.**********
