Chapter 3: Train Sick.

The next week went by very quickly in Diagon alley and Nimjaneb was no exception. He spent much of that week learning the in's and out's of London while searching for Nikoda. Thanks to his father pulling a whole lot of strings in the ministry of magic and his own dumb luck and resourcefulness he had managed to find out that she was a fourteen year old fourth year in Slytherin house at Hogwarts and that she was temporarily staying with her uncle Serverus by order of the ministry of magic.

On Sunday of the week Nimjaneb received another letter from Nikoda:

Nimjaneb,

Tomorrow met me on the platform and we can take the train together if you want. Write me back when you get this to let me know what's happening.

Sincerely, Nikoda Lynn Snape (Nikki)

After reading this Nimjaneb started jumping around his room at the Leaky Cauldron whopping for joy. As soon as he calmed down enough to form a coherent thought he sat down with a quill, ink bottle, and a piece of parchment and wrote a response:

Nikki,

Hey how are you? I will meet you tomorrow at 9:00am if that's okay? See you at the train and thank you for the every flavor beans.

Yours Truly, Nimjaneb

After finishing this he ran down stairs to use one of the inn's owl's (he didn't want to use his own, an old grey barn owl named Socrates, because he wasn't sure that he would make it back before he had to leave for the train.

The rest of the day went by in a blur he spent most of it packing for Hogwarts and preparing his thing's that he wasn't taking with him to be moved into the apartment that had just recently been finished. When the day was finally ended and he got to go to sleep it seemed he had barely shut his eyes when his dad was waking him up. "Nim wake up there is someone here I want you to meet."

"What? Dad it's early I want more sleep. It's not time to go to the train yet is it?" asked Nimjaneb in a very groggy voice.

"No it's not time for you to catch the train but there's someone here that I want you to meet." He stood out of the way and revealed a man in long purple robes, with a tall pointed hat, long gray beard, long crooked nose, and half moon glasses. "Nim I would like you to meet, this is Albus Dumbledore."

When he finished talking he left the room to allow Nimjaneb and Dumbledore to get acquainted. "Hello Nimjaneb, I'm Albus Dumbledore I'm your new head master and an old friend of your grandfather's" said the head master as he examined Nimjaneb's many pieces of luggage including the newly arrived firebolt broomstick.

"D-did you just say my grandfather?" asked Nimjaneb. He had never met his grandfather or even known that he had one until that moment.

"Well yes I did in fact, you see he and I went to Hogwarts at the same time and we were very close friends up until his death." responded Dumbledore with a rather remorseful look on his face.

"Can you tell me why my parent's never mentioned him to me?" said Nimjaneb as a million questions wandered through his mind leaving him in an unending daze of confusion and chaos.

"Well you see your grandfather was always the black sheep of your fathers family and it wasn't until after his death that he was forgiven for the many going's on ,which I knew nothing of then and little of now, that lead to his status as an outcast. Though I should think that a more appropriate question for your parents to answer." Answered Dumbledore in a tone that told Nimjaneb that he should inquire no further into the matter.

Before Nimjaneb could start to ask another question his father came into the room and explained in a rather rushed voice that if Nimjaneb did not get out of his bed and change into his school clothes soon they would miss the train to Hogwarts. After hearing that Dumbledore left the two of them to finish packing and get ready for the train.

After finishing the last of his packing Nimjaneb and his father set out with his various bags to platform nine and three quarters. Once they arrived Nimjaneb proceeded to the nearest car when he heard a familiar voice call his name and it was then when he remembered that he was supposed to meet Nikoda at the station and ride to Hogwarts with her.

"Nimjaneb! Is there anything else I can call you? Cause Nimjaneb sounds stupid." Said Nikoda as she took deep breathes trying to catch her breath.

"Some times people call me Nim, but most of the time they just call me Nimjaneb. He answered.

"Ahhh I think I will stick with Nimjaneb. Come on I'll take you top the car that me and a few friends are riding in." she lead Nimjaneb three cars down and led him in. Inside the car there was one other girl. "Nimjaneb this is Alexa Black, she's my best friend."

"Nice to meet you. How are you enjoying London so far?" She said as the two of them shook hands.

"Nice to meet you too. So when does the train leave?" just as he asked this the train gave a jerk and began to pull away from the station. Soon after leaving the station the three of them sat down and started to talk amongst one another.

A half an hour after leaving the station the food cart came around and the three of them each bought a small amount of food. After Nimjaneb finished his second chocolate frog and was starting to eye his third he began to feel a bit quezy. "Are you okay Nimjaneb?" Nikoda asked as he stuck his head out the window and vomited up his breakfast and his chocolate frogs.

When he finished he brought his head back in the sat down, and said "Did I forget to mention I get train sick?"

AN: hey, yeah how was it? Sorry it took me so long I've been a little busy lately. Please review, chapter 4 is on the way. Bye!
