*~*Chapter 3: In the Train Compartment*~*
"Argh. Damn that Mr. Featherbutt! He almost got us late with his nonsense!" Li grumbled. Sakura giggled.
"Well, at least we got on the train! But, all the compartments are filled up! I hope this last one has room for us..." Sakura pushed open the door. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny turned to see the new person. Hermione spoke up first.
"Hello. Can we help you with anything?" Sakura bowed deeply.
"Konichi wa! Sumimaseri ga kono kyakushitsu te ni hairu wa?" Everyone stared at her as if she was talking in a different language. Wait, she WAS talking in a different language, but didn't know it. "Nani?" Syaoran elbowed her hard in the side and whispered to her.
"English! Remember?" Sakura had forgoten that they didn't speak japanese. Her face turned a bright red and apoligised.
"I-I'm sorry...I forgot that you don't speak japanese. My name is Sakura Kinomoto and these are my friends, Li and Eriol. We were looking for a compartment to sit in and this is the last one. Is there any room for us?" Ron waved his hand at the other half of the compartment which was empty.
"Sure, go ahead! I don't mind." Sakura smiled sweetly and made Ron blush. She bowed and thanked him.
"Arigato!" She sat down and pushed her compartment in. "Urg..This is heavy..." Harry got up and started to push her trunk in. She smiled and thanked him. Syaoran growled at Harry. Harry didn't notice. He was staring at Sakura with a weird expression. *It's those eyes again...* Syaoran pulled Sakura down to the seat next to him.
"Jeeze. You going to stand there all day?" Sakura, on the other hand, was talking to Ron and Hermione about Hogwarts.
"Is Hogwarts a nice school? I've never been to a magical school before!" Sakura said. Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"Your fifteen, right?" Sakura nodded. "Then, you should have been accepted when you were eleven. Why would that be, I wonder..." Sakura tilted her head.
"I don't know. When I was eleven I had started capturing Clow-OUCH!!! Hey! What was that for????" she yelled. Syaoran had elbowed her in the side and was giving her a stearn look. Eriol was also giving her a look that plainly said, *Don't give away too much info!!* He then smiled at Ron and Hermione, who were giving them looks of suspition.
"Well, you four haven't introduced yourselves yet. What are your names?" Hermione got up and held out a hand to Eriol who took it.
"My name is Hermione Granger. These, are my friends," she said, pointing to Ron, Harry and Ginny. She then cleared her throat loudly. Ron got the hint and stood up as well.
"Uh, sorry. My name's Ron Weasley and this is my little sister, Ginny. Pleasure to meet you." He and Ginny shook hands with the threee new people and sat down. Harry looked away. Ron turned to Harry. "Harry? Arn't you going to introduce yourself?"
"They probably know who I am by now." Sakura tilted her head again.
"I'm sorry. Did I miss something here? Are you supposed to be famous or something?" she asked. Harry turned his head slowly and stared at her. So did Ron and everyone else, save Syaoran and Eriol.
"You don't know who I am?" he asked in an astonished voice. Sakura shook her head slowly, a slight pink tinge on her face. He smiled in a releaved sort of way. "Well, that's the first time that has ever happened! Anyway, my name is Harry Potter. Nice to meet all of you." He shook hands with Eriol and Syaoran first. Then, shook Sakura's. He took a bit longer with her, Syaoran noted. He sat down as the witch with the trolly cart came.
"Anything from my little cart?" Harry got up and bought a little bit of everything, as he usually did, and set them on an empty part of the compartment.
"You guys going to eat anything?" Harry asked. Eriol quietly declined and Syaoran just mumbled that he wasn't hungry. Sakura, however, got up and stared at all the strange food. She picked up a Chocolate Frog and turned to him in discust.
"Are these actually frogs??" Harry laughed.
"No, they just look like frogs. Just chocolate really." She let out a sigh of relief and happlily started to munch on one. Ron slowly took the card from Sakura and continued to eat his Pumpkin Pastry. Harry shook his head in an amused manner and continued eatting. Ginny stopped stuffing herself and asked Eriol and Syaoran why they weren't talking much.
"I really have nothing to talk about," Eriol said. Syaoran just grumbled.
"He isn't really a people-person," Sakura said with a sigh. He growled at her and blushed. She yawned and put down the frog she was eatting. "Hey, how much longer is it going to be untill we get there?"
"Oh, we are a good distance away. Won't be there for at least an hour." Hermione replied. Sakura sighed and leaned her head on Syaoran's shoulder.
"Good. I can get some sleep before we get there. Syaoran? You don't mind if I sllep on your shoulder, do you?" He shook his head and yawned as well. Thus, they both feel asleep. Eriol laughed and shook his head sleeply.
"I'm really sorry if it seems rude to you. We are just really tired from our flight from Hong Kong." Hermione's eyes lit up.
"Do you study asian magic? I've read all about it. Is it true that you-" But Ron told her to shut her mouth. Ginny giggled but Hermione did as she was told. Eriol had fallen asleep too. They just continued to talk quietly about the new students.
"They seem nice. Especially Sakura. That Syaoran is a grouch, but I think he is nice deep down." Hermione said with a laugh. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Do you know how sappy that sounded?" Hermione glared at him. "Heh...Um, anyway. Harry, what do you think?" Harry just shook his head.
"I don't know, but it this can't be a coincidence." They others looked at him curiously.
"What can't be?" Ginny asked.
"I-I had this dream at Diagon Alley. In the dream, there were three people who look just like them," he said, pointing to Eriol, Syaoran, and Sakura. "In fact, I'm positive it was them. I couldn't see they're faces, but I'm sure it was them in my dream!" he said in a whispered voice.Hermione stared in shock as Ginny and Ron were glancing from Harry to the three new comers. "And then, there was this woman in my dream also. She kept telling me to 'protect her Little Star,' but I have no clue who or what she means." Harry shook his head in confusion.
"Did you tell Si-er, Snuffles about it?" glancing at Ginny.
"It's ok Hermione. She knows." Ron said.
"I didn't." She looked at him in shock.
"Why not??"
"I didn't think of it very much at the time! My scar wasn't hurting and I wasn't threatened by the dream in any way, so I figured I ate too much the night before." Ron just looked at the ground.
"Well, I guess as soon as the feast is over, you can send an owl to Sirus about it."
"Should I ask them about it?" Hermione shook her head.
"Probibly better if they didn't know." Ginny shushed them.
"Someone's comming!!"
Draco Malfoy and his "pals," Crabbe and Goyle, had opened the door loudly, waking the sleeping trio. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Pothead and his little pals." Harry and Ron growled agrily.
"*yawn* Mmmfff... Are we there already?" Sakura yawned. She glanced up at Draco and yawned again. "Hello. Have we met before?" Malfoy gave a little smirk.
"And who might you be? I can't beleive Potter would be able to get a girl other than that poor excuse of a pure blood Weasley." Ginny hufed at the remark. Sakura frowned.
"That wasn't very nice of you!" Malfoy just shrugged it off.
"Ah, well. Come along with me. I'll show you what a real man does," and he started to pull her out the door, much to the displeasure of Sakura.
"Eh! Te wo hanasu no watakushi wo hentai!!! (Eh! Let go of me pervert!!!)" Sakura screamed. Syaoran got to his feet and punched Malfoy in the face. Hard. Malfoy was on the ground in two seconds, clutching his nose bawling at the top of his lungs. Hermione got up and used a charm to mend his nose. After feeling his nose, Malfoy got up and stared at Syaoran with a cold expression.
"Just who do you think you are?" Syaoran didn't even flinch.
"Someone you don't wanna mess with, punk." Syaoran scowled back. Hermione interviened.
"Malfoy, get your ass out of here, or I'll make sure you get what you deserve," she said in barely a whisper. She waved her wand threateningly and Malfoy got the hint. He gave Syaoran one last icy glare and walked off. She turned around and smiled brightly. "What?" Ron stared at her in a mixture of surprize and happiness.
"Hermione, sometimes you can scare me. But, why did you mend Malfoy's nose?" Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but Eriol answered for her.
"She doesn't want Malfoy to have any evidence, am I right?" Hermione nodded. "We wouldn't want our little Syaoran to get in trouble before he even got to school, now would we?" Syaoran growled.
"He deserved it, hentai." Eriol smiled.
"Yes, now, Harry. What house is Malfoy in?" Harry looked at him in confusion.
"Slytherin, but, how would you know about houses if you never been to the school before?"
"Lets just say I have been to the school before," he said with a smile. Harry thought about this for a moment, but just shrugged it off.
"What's a house?" Sakura asked in an innocent manner.
"Well, at Hogwarts, students must be seperated into one of four houses. There is Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. All students in the same house have to eat, sleep and learn together. We are all in Gryffindor." Hermione told Sakura. Sakura rubbed her arms. She could still feel those clammy hands on her skin.
"Well, whatever house I'm in, I hope it's not Slytherin. I couldn't stand to be anywhere near that monster..." Harry and Ron laughed. Hermione looked out the window.
"We are slowing down. We must almost be there." Everyone got up and streatched. The train then gave a sudden lurch. "We're here," Hermione said. They all filled out the door and got off the train. Sakura looked up at the darkening sky. *Here I go!*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~~ Well, that's the end of one of the longest chapters I have EVER written. Well, Sakura and friends have arrived at Hogwarts and are on their way to be Sorted. Which houses will they be in? And let me tell you, not all of them will be in the same house!!! Dun Dun Duuuuuuunnnnn!!! Hee hee. The next chapter is called, "Into Your New Houses." You better get ready!
