The Disowned Son
Chapter Eight: Hogwarts Express
Harry woke up and felt something warm next to him. He looked down and saw Ginny smiling at him. "Sleep well?" he said.
"You know I did. I just don't know how we will be able to sleep in separate rooms now that we have woken up together."
"We'll manage somehow, Gin," he said before kissing her and getting up. "We better get back, the others will be worried about us, and I have to make sure Ron doesn't jump to any conclusions." They headed back to the Gryffindor common room where everyone was staying at. When they arrived in the Gryffindor common room they were met by a very upset looking Ron.
"How dare you sleep with my baby sister, Harry!"
Ginny cut Harry off before he could say one word, "Ron Weasley, how dare you jump to conclusions about what we did! And if we did, YOU HAVE NO SAY IN IT!" her face was red from anger. "AND FOR THE LAST TIME I AM NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE!!"
"You mean you didn't sleep with him?" Ron looked at their other friends for some help. "Uh, sorry. See you at breakfast!" he said before running out the door with a totally embarrassed look on his face. They all brought their trunks down to the great hall with them and had breakfast before leaving. By the time they arrived at the train platform it was a about six o'clock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
King's Cross was just as packed as usual, with all the families saying their good-byes. The group had already found suitable spots to guard the train. Anthony had joined them and was at the very back of the train. It was a very peaceful ride for the first hour, so they all began to relax. It wasn't until five that trouble began. Harry was suddenly overcome by a wave of pain in his scar. He noticed Anthony's battle cries coming from the end of the train, one car away from him. He quickly ran back to see what was happening. Behind the train was a group of twenty Death Eaters on brooms and about thirty more people in some kind of muggle military uniforms, riding some kind of hovering bike. They were trying to board the train, some of them landing on the roof. Harry really wished they had at least one tunnel on this trip. Others tried to reach the engine. The window in the cabin he was standing next to broke open and the passengers ran out. After them there were two of the muggle attackers and a Death Eater. Now Harry finally got a good look at the uniforms, they were red with silver armor at various spots. The helmets covered the person's entire face except for the eyes and had an intimidating look.
The Death Eater looked right at him and whispered something to the other two. Harry raised his wand and brought out his spray bottle of petrifacation potion and charged while firing a stunning spell at the Death Eater. It hit it's mark and the muggles drew their guns a second too late. Harry sprayed both their faces full of the potion and they became stone, clothes and all, in less than a second. But that still left a lot more to fight, he had to find a faster way to fight them. He went to the window and looked outside. The bikes were mounted onto the side of the train with some kind of magnetic clamps. Harry then noticed how many guns were on it and climbed on. After a few seconds of examining he thought he could fly it. "Well, here goes nothing," he said before hitting the acceleration pedal and turning off the magnets. After a few seconds of wobbling he got a hang of it. He saw the group of hoverbikes and Death Eaters ahead of him and accelerated. He had just found the trigger to what he thought the machine guns. Instead, a screen slid out and rested in front of the windshield. On it was a display of what was ahead of him. It seemed to be a targeting system, but there weren't any buttons at all. When he couldn't figure it out he did the best thing he could think of, he punched it, and when he did he learned that it was a touch screen. Quickly, he touch the screen until no more markers would appear. He then hit the same button he hit to activate the screen and missiles launched out from the front of the bike, in a matter of seconds all six targets were gone. 'Well that's one way to do it,' he thought. A spell zoomed right past his face, he looked over to see three Death Eaters coming his way. He turned around and fired a wind gust at the group and knocked two off their brooms and used a flame jet on the last one. He saw more people landing on top of the train. He pulled right and landed on top of the train in hopes of fighting them off. After using his tranquilizer darts on a few Death Eaters and petrifying some muggles he jumped through a hole they made.
When he landed on the floor of the train he noticed that he had landed in Hermione's assigned area, except she was not there. He looked down the car to see Hermione holding her own quite well with the help of a few sixth and seventh years, he turned around and what he saw made his blood boil. Ginny was on the ground, unconscious with some blood coming from her mouth. Over her was a man who was tall, thin and very muscular. He wore a metal mask and had long hair. What scared Harry most was the claw he had on his arm. He quickly drew his sword and charged the man. The man turned around and tried to block a possible thrust. Too bad for him, Harry had known that a thrust was the most obvious move in such close quarters. He had swiped instead and hit the man. Thanks to his potion covered sword the man changed to solid rock almost instantly. He ran over to where Ginny was and kneeled over her before scooping her up into arms. She began to stir and Harry only hugged her tighter. By now he could see Hogsmeade Station so the enemies were flying away, if there were any capable of flying that is.
He looked into Ginny's now open eyes and saw that she was crying. "It's okay Gin, he's won't hurt you again." She just kept hugging him, crying into his chest, her grip was so tight he thought she was afraid he'd leave her if she let go. "I'm sorry," he said.
"For what?"
"I...I couldn't keep you safe."
"Harry, You saved me, that's all that counts. Anyhow, it's my choice to fight, I knew the dangers of fighting and the dangers of not fighting. I'm just happy he didn't kill me."
"I am too," he looked up to see Ron coming over.
"What happened to her?" he asked.
"Just a small fist in the face," she replied dryly.
Ron turned angry in a second, "who the hell did it!?" Harry just pointed behind him at the statue of what was a man. Hermione walked in helping a limping Draco just as the train stopped. They were the first ones out and Hagrid ran over to them.
"Harry, wat 'appened here?" he asked.
"We were attacked by a group of Death Eaters and muggles. No one was killed but we do have a few injured. We were lucky they weren't expecting all of us to fight back, it kinda took them by surprise." Harry then looked around, "the train will need to be fixed and there is at least four prisoners that I got, maybe a few more on the roof. Three of them are petrified so they need the antidote which I have in my room."
"I'm impressed Harry," said Hermione, "you thought this through, didn't you."
"This time I did. Let go to the infirmary and get ourselves checked up on when we get back." They found an empty carraige and all got in and it took off towards Hogwarts immediately.
