Chapter Four
"Wow. It's finally the day to go to King's Cross. It seems like it's only been an hour."
"Harry, Hermione, do you have everything with you?"
"Yep."
"OK, we're using the Portkey out on that hill- see it? It's about a mile's walk from here. After breakfast, we really could use a bit of exercise."
They all gathered around the table, Mrs. Weasley scrambled some egg, cooked some bacon, and split it evenly for the group.
"Ronnikins, you egg has a spider in it."
"AHHHHH!!!!"
"George! How many times have I told you to not scare your brother like that?!"
Ron blushed bright red, as red as his hair. He gave his brothers a glare, then ate his egg quietly and gulped down some bacon. Hermione felt a bit sorry for him, since she was an only child and Ron had countless brothers. Harry felt the same, but was even the slightest bit jealous. He too was an only child, but he didn't have parents either. Ginny was blushing brightly everytime Harry's eyes laid on hers.
"Hey guess what, everyone. Georgie and I heres got a surprise at Hogsmeade. You'll just have to wait and see. Oh no you don't. We both know everyone's anxious to see."
* * *
After breakfast they took the walk to the Portkey. They were all huffing and puffing, but not Harry. Harry actually felt great. He felt refreshed and the least bit tired.
"On the count of three. 1.. 2.. 3!"
They all appeared at King's Cross.
"Goodness gracious! We're late! Harry and Ron, you two go first. Hustle now, be quick! Ginny and Hermione! Quickly before the train leaves!"
They all went through the barrier and settled in the train. This year, it was quite crowded. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all in compartment number three. It was very loud and noisy, until the loud sound of the train quieted everyone down. Draco Malfoy came hurrying over.
"Dammit. Now we have to sit with you mud-blood lovers?!"
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle sat in the seats across from them. Malfoy had a tough time settling in his seat since he was sitting next to Goyle.
* Malfoy's got two fat chumps as friends. I wonder WHY. *
Hermione thought quietly as she stared out into the wild forests and rapid creeks. Lost in her thoughts, she fell asleep. It soon turned dark, as the sun began to fall early.
"Hermione! Wake Up! Look who's sitting in front of us!"
Hermione took one look, fell back to sleep again, and immediately glanced back again.
* I think I'm dreaming. no, I'm not. He can't be Professor Lupin, can he? *
It was true- Professor Lupin grinned at them from ear to ear. His face was enlightened, and his robes were not old and raggedy, in fact, they were as elegant as Ron's dress robes. (haha.) Suddenly, Harry thought good thoughts. Harry was almost as happy as if Voldemort had never lived, and evil had never threatened to overwhelm them. Malfoy was shocked. He pinched himself. Professor Lupin tapped the seats next to him, symbolizing to sit next to him. He sort of said "Let's talk." silently.
"Hello, Harry. And you too, Ron and Hermione- It's great to see you all. Professor Dumbledore found me a potion that could cure my "werewolf form" of myself. By popular demand, he wants me back at the school. I heard you've had many adventures Harry. I can tell that this school year is going to be the most exciting. And, I'm not the only teacher that's new at Hogwarts. I'll leave it at that."
Harry was curious. Malfoy was trying to eavesdrop, but his efforts failed.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione returned to their own seats, and soon enough, the lady pushing the cart came along.
"Anything from the trolley? We've got Cauldron Cakes, and a couple of new ones this year. have a look- there's even bottles of butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks..."
Harry, Ron and Hermione each bought a bottle of butterbeer, then settled for some Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott's Every-Flavored Beans. Malfoy also had some cash up his sleeve- he bought butterbeer, some Fizzing Whisbees, and a load of the new 'Jaw-breaking Jawbreakers'. Pretty soon the whole compartment could hear a loud crack and snap.
"So Potter. My father's told me the Dark Lord's back. He's gonna get you Mud-blood lovers first. He's got servants at Hogwarts, you know."
"Shut your ugly little mug up. You're nothing but a liar!"
"Is that so? Well, well. What if I told you that a new dark power is taking out the whole population? The Dark Lord is going to try and side with it."
* If what he's saying is true, than I don't need too much help. right? I've got new powers. I think. I just have to learn to control them. That's all. *
* Oh no! Wait. What am I thinking? That can't be true right? I've read in 'Dangerous Encounters of the Past Century' that there hasn't been an attack in more than 10 years! I'm not sure. I think I should keep my eyes open for anything strange. *
* That old bloke. WHAT A LIAR! Blimy, he's got the IQ of a volunteer signing up for underwater fire prevention! Me, I wouldn't listen to a word coming out of his nasty old mouth. *
"Malfoy, just leave us alone. Yeah, and I don't remember asking you to join us in the first place."
Malfoy blushed a deep crimson.
* Fine. Be that way. It's true you know. *
"If you don't want to listen to me, that's your fault. But me, I know when to listen and when not to."
He muttered silently and went back to his Fizzing Whisbees.
* I don't know whether to believe him or not. *
