Chapter 9
Surprise! Surprise!
"Oh! MY!" The jolly looking witch exclaimed. "You're Harry Potter!"
"Yes ma'am" Harry nodded.
"May we help you?" Usagi asked.
The woman looked over at Usagi. "And the girl who saved the chef of the Leaky Cauldron! Oh My!"
The woman backed away, only to return a moment later with a trolley of food neither Usagi nor Harry had seen before. Without a word, she handed each of the three occupants an armful of food. "There you are compliments of the house."
"We can't expect you to give all this to us for free" Harry said, fishing into his pocket. He pulled out a handful of gold galleons "Is this enough?"
Usagi watched as Ron's and the lunch lady's eyes became as big as dinner plates. "Oh no! I can't be expected to accept any money fro you! Without you, we would all be slaves of you-know-who!" The lunch lady backed out of the compartment, and was gone before anyone could contest her statement.
"That was strange." Usagi said as they all piled the food on the seat next to Ron. The group sat around the snacks and Usagi started the humongous task of devouring them. Transfixed by the speed of which Usagi ate, the two boys finally joined in after over half the snacks were gone.
Ron watched Usagi pick up a box labeled `Chocolate Frog` and eye it cautiously. "Don't worry," He reassured her. "They aren't real frogs; they just have a spell on them. Anyway, it's the card you want. I got about 500 meself."
Usagi opened the box, and a brown frog jumped out at her, and through the window. Ron shrugged. "Bad luck. What card you got?"
Usagi withdrew the card and turned it over. The boys watched as Usagi's eyes widened in surprise. "Gigi?"
Ron and Harry glanced at each other. "Sorry?" Harry asked.
Usagi passed the card to him. "That's my grandfather. I'd know him anywhere. But his name isn't Albus Dumbledore, it's Prince Albus; the White Prince."
"That's impossible!" Ron said. "This is Albus Dumbledore; headmaster of Hogwarts. He can't be your grandfather; you're from another world-"
There was a loud nock on the door. A small girl of about Harry's and Ron's age, with fuzzy brown hair and oversized front teeth; walked through the door without waiting for an answer. "A boy named Neville lost his toad. Has anyone here seen it?" All three shock their heads no.
"My name's Hermione Granger, by the way." She said, her school cloak swoosh over the remainders of their gift from the lunch lady as she sat down.
Usagi took the hand she offered "My name is Usagi Tsukino, and this is Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter."
They watched Hermione's eyebrows go up at the mention of Harry's name. She turned to Usagi and asked "Can you do any of the spells in the books?"
"No, I can't." Usagi confessed.
"I have only tried a few, but all of them have worked for me." Hermione said?in a self-congratulating tone. She produced her wand from a pocket in her cloak and pointed it at Harry's face. "For instance... Reparo!" The selotape holding Harry's glasses together disappeared and Usagi saw that the break Harry's cousin had caused had disappeared.
The door opened again, and two giant boys, led by a smaller boy, walked in self importantly. Usagi recognized the shorter blonde kid as the one she had bumped into in Diagon Ally.
"I heard Harry Potter was in this car." The blonde boy said, as if explaining his presence to a lower life-form. He looked around the compartment for a moment, and then spotted Usagi. "Well, well, well! We meet again! This is Crabbe and Goyal." The boy said flippantly, indicating the two massive boys behind him.
"And I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said, bending down to kiss Usagi's hand. "It is a great honour to meet a beauty like you again."
"Anno... That's sweet." Usagi said, as she withdrew her hand, fighting not to laugh at his display. "This is Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." She said, indicating one after another. Draco Malfoy stood up straight. Ignoring Hermione and Ron, he excused himself as he walked past Usagi, and stood before Harry.
"You're Harry Potter?" He asked in a flat tone. When Harry nodded, he went on. "Well, I'm sure that a wizard of your stature will want to know only the best wizarding families. I can help you there. I'm sure you know that I come from one of the best wizarding families. Stick with me, Potter, and I can help you steer clear of the lower families like the Weasleys."
Harry stared at the boy as he extended his hand to him. "I think I can figure that out for myself, thank you." Harry replied icily.
Malfoy scowled, and then shrugged as he led his friends out of the compartment. Usagi burst out laughing the moment the door closed behind him. She collapsed on the seat where she was joined by the others.
"Oh! That was a classic!" Usagi said as she caught her breath. She started imitating Malfoy. "It is a great honour to meet a beauty like you again" Everyone burst out laughing again.
"The train will be arriving at Hogwarts station shortly." A voice said over the intercom. "Please leave your luggage where it is and depart in an orderly fashion upon our arrival."
"Come with me, Usagi. You can change your clothes in my compartment." Hermione said, leading Uasgi away.
***
Ten minutes later, the train pulled into the station, and the students started filing out of the train. The first thing Usagi heard was a loud voice bellowing over the sounds of the station. "Firs' years this way! Firs' years this way please!"
Usagi, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed the voice to the giant Hagrid. "'Allo Harry, Usagi! How was the trip?"
"It was interesting, Hagrid-san." Usagi said, following him through the darkness of the night along a path leading to the edge of a lake, so dark in the night sky, it seemed to have been filled with black ink.
Hagrid raised his lantern to see the faces of the first years. "No more 'n three or four t' a boat." He said as he climbed into a boat alone.
"Right? Everyone in?" He asked. "Right then. Off we go!" the boats began to move across the lake in one body. "Yer'll all get yer firs' glimpse of Hogwarts soon."
Usagi watched keenly, for any sign of her new school. Eventually, after Harry and Ron had had about three heart attacks as they pulled Usagi back into the boat when she started to lean too far over the bow; Usagi spotted a large castle, outlined in the black of the night.
"Now that is what I call a school!" She said enthusiastically.
On the other side of the lake, they clambered out of the boats, onto the pebbly shore. Hagrid grabbed his lantern from the bow of the boat, and walked out in front of the group of new students.
"Oy! Whose toad is this?" Hagrid asked, producing a big fat toad from one of his many pockets.
"Trevor!" A disheveled boy, cried out in glee as he ran to Hagrid to retrieve his toad. The group clambered up the shore, and up a flight of stair, to a gigantic oak door.
"Everyone right?" Hagrid asked, a little nervously. "Still got your toad?" He raised his mallet-sized fist, and banged on the door.
