Scarlet Train Ride

He had waited 1 hour more until it was 9:50 until he saw Ron and Hermione. It seems that Hermione was staying over at Ron's house because she showed with the rest of the Weasley's, and also that Ron and Hermione finally got together with the fact that they were holding hands. Harry walked up to the Weasleys and said "Hi." Needless to say all of them were confused at who he was but nevertheless said their share of "Hi's" back. Harry chuckled at their confused expression and introduced himself once again.

"Hello I'm Harry Potter, I do believe we have met already."

The Weasleys were surprised, but Hermione being Hermione studied my feature to see if I was really Harry. After she seemed satisfied she started blabbing.

"Where were you Harry? Why didn't you owl us, or the fact that we couldn't owl you? Did you know that we thought you were in trouble and had to owl Dumbledore for his assurance of your safety?"

Harry rolled his eyes at her gesture, and replied with a simple "Hello to you to Hermione."

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Weasley how has your summer been?" said Harry to a still flabbergasted Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

They replied with a weak "Fine."

Harry said his personal "Hi's" to each one of the family. When he got to the twins, Fred and George, he asked how were they going with the Weasley's Wizard Weezes?

"Just fine thanks to the 1000 galleons that you donated" said George, "and to show our graditude of thanks, your our partner in business. You get to try out our most recent products on unsuspecting victims and get 20 % of the share the WWW brings in."

"Wow, thanks." was all Harry could say.

With that they all entered the train, and found their cartridge in the way back. When Harry, Hermione, and Ron were finally alone the latter two of the trios started bombarding Harry with questions about Harry's summer. All Harry said was "Staying safe" Ron got started getting mad because of that answer, but kept his anger within check.

10 minute into the train ride Draco Malfoy entered the cartridge. "Hello Potter, Come on Potter and Granger, Mcgonnagol called us all up to the front." When Harry, Hermione, and Ron starts to get up, Malfoy said "Not you Weasley, they're asking for the prefect up not the prefects and the third wheel." Ron turns red and brews in his own jealousy on how Harry gets to be prefect and not him. Meanwhile Harry, Draco, and Hermione went up to the prefects cart and entered.

"Welcome prefects of Hogwarts" says Mcgonnagol to the prefects. "This will be a new year to some and returning year to others as the prefects of the school. Just to give you an idea on what the prefects are supposed to do. They are supposed to keep the students in check and when necessary takes point off EVEN if they are from their own house. Now the prefects are to organize school events such as balls. Also when you are prefect you stay as a prefect into the next year unless you do something that would resort to punishment of taking the privilege of being a prefect away. Only prefects can become the Headboy or Headgirl in their seventh year and when the prefects turn into the head nobody would be able to fill their previous prefects role so there will be one less prefect from both gender in the 7th year. The prefects shall still be prefects if they do not become one of the heads. Also there are privileges of being a prefect such as there are private bathrooms for prefects alone. The bathroom is located on the second floor by the Humpbhugs statue of Gorale (fogive me I don't remember where it is). The prefects bathroom has a guardian painting that only resides to a password. This year's is "Squeaky Clean." Now there are two entrances located within the painting one for girls and one for boys. The other gender MUST not be going into the other sides gender. Penalty for such a thing is immediate removal of their badges; such is the same if you go into the other gender's dorm room for any non-emergency reasons. More shall be told to you during the next prefects meeting on the 23rd of September."

Draco muttered at the end "There is actually MORE details you didn't mention?"

When she left all the 6th year and above prefects introduced themselves to the new prefects. After the introductions of the 6th year and above were made the 5th years introduced themselves to them. It was more or less a shock to many when Harry introduced himself as Harry Potter. They were wondering what happended to "The boy who lived" that caused him such a change. Most of the male prefects thinking jealously "He's famous, rich, and now a girl magnet." While most of the females were thinking along same line with a bit of a twist, "Wow he's hot, rich, and famous." While the others were gawking at him, Harry took this time to recall all the prefects.

For the 5th years Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinsaw was prefects for Slytherin, Kevin Spade and Padmn Patil was for Ravenclaw, Jonas Denom and Jewels Huprey for Hufflepuff, and himself and Hermione Granger for Gryffindor. For 6th year Seit Jenkins and Rose Denuob for Slytherin, Mike Smith and Cho Chang for Ravenclaw, Spike Spinfree and Haeley Freice for Hufflepuff, and William Parsley and Grace Dickins for Gryffindor. For 7th year Charles Craig and Jamie Williams for Slytherin, Sicila Johans for Ravenclaw, Heuw Morael and Priscilla Penes for Hufflepuff, and Mark Hamon for Gryffindor.

Just as Harry was done surveying the prefects, the door to the cartridge opened and in came the Headboy and the Headgirl judging from the badges they wore. The Headboy was Roger Williams of Ravenclaw and The Headgirl was Alicia Spinnet of Gryffindor.

"Hello just to come see who the new prefects are. Why don't you all introduce yourselves?" Said Roger.

While Roger was speaking, Alicia was looking at Harry wondering who he was. When Harry noticed Alicia looking she looked away blushing a bit. Even when Alicia broke her stare Harry did not. He noticed that Alicia was very beautiful indeed. She had dirty blond hair, with bright blue eyes, and lightly tanned skin. She was fit because of the quidditch she did. Roger broke his thought and stare with a question.

"And you in the back with black hair and green eyes who are you?"

"Harry, Harry Potter 5th Year, Gryffindor."

As soon as he finished the sentence Roger and Alicia looked at him just like so many before did. With question and wonder in their eyes. 'How did he change so much?' Alicia was thinking about how handsome Harry had gone form the previous cute. As soon as she finished that thought she had a pink touch on her cheeks. Harry was used to the stares he was getting and replied with a crisp "With so many people staring I imagine I would be some kind of male veela." Instantly Roger, Alicia, and any of those that still kept staring from earlier reverted their gaze knowing that they shouldn't have stared so obviously.

After that the meeting was called to an end and all those willing, was allowed to go find their own cartridge. Harry and Hermione both left to find Ron as soon as they found out that they may leave. Halfway to the end of the train they were called back by a jogging Draco Malfoy.

"Hey Potter! You forgot that you owe me 5 galleons or what?"

"Darn, was hoping that you'll forget, alright I know you'll just keep nagging me till you get it. Fine, here's your 5 galleon spoilsport, last time I play cards against you with a bet on the hand.

The exchange was really strange for Hermione. For one Harry and Malfoy were actually more then just civil to each other instead of the usual cruelty they exerted to each other. Also both of them didn't even glare to each other, they seem to have made some sort of bond of friendship.

Hermione noticed that Draco had changed pretty broadly compared to last year. He was 5'5 but now he is 5'10 and his very pristine kept whitish blond hair was not in it's usual form. It was still well kept but it didn't look like Draco went a hair stylist everyday. Draco grew broader shoulders and his form was more well defined. He also lost most if not all his baby fat from before. He looked very different with all these changes and he also lost his trademark smirk.

Hermione was cut off from her thoughts by Harry saying, "See you Malfoy."

Hermione was only more surprised by his response of, "Yeah see you Potter and oh good day to you too Granger."

Both of them parted, Draco going back to the front of the train, and Harry walking to the back of the train with a bewildered Hermione following. Soon they reached the cartridge in which they left Ron in and opened it to find Ron with Dean and Seamus. They entered with each of them exchanging their hellos.

"Oh hi, are you new? You look familiar but I just can't seem to place who you are." Said Dean

"Yeah I second his question." Remarked Seamus

"Guys.. I'm hurt you don't remember your roommate for the last 4 years." Replied Harry

". No way. Harry? Bloody Hell have you changed!" Exclaimed Dean

"Yeah you used to be so shrimpy." Said Seamus

"Gee guys those were one of the kindest things anyone has said about my change." Said a very sarcastic Harry

"Yeah well I guess we shouldn't make the famous Harry Potter bitter seeing as how he is the boy-who-lived, prefect, rich, popular, and good looking. Next thing you know we find out he is God or something." Said Ron

"Ron! That was unnecess-" Replied a cut off Hermione.

"Well Weasley I'm sorry your jealousy causes you to be such an immature brat. Your main problem is that you think you're the only one who has a problem! You think the fact that me being famous and rich really fills the void of not having parents! Well grow up you stupid prat and see how lucky you actually are then maybe you could see a reason not to be jealous of me!" Replied a ticked off Harry. He left the cartridge slamming the door shut breaking it off the hinges.

Harry fumed all the way to the front of the train. He was pissed beyond reason when he entered the prefects cartridge. He sat down on one of the seats in the prefects cartridge and finally calmed himself down. He noticed that all of the prefects that was still in the cartridge had their gaze on him. Harry managed a calm yet exasperated "I'm sorry for that display," and went ignored the rest of the looks for the rest of the trip.
