Chapter 2
After the encounter with the new blonde witch, Harry, Hermione, and the Wesleys headed back to the house. Hermione had decided to stay for the last night left of their summer holiday. When they reached their rooms, Harry and Ron began to pack for Hogwarts. Tomorrow they would need to wake up early to reach the train station and get on the Hogwarts Express.
"That girl was rather nice don't you think," Harry brought up. He was wrapping his nimbus 2000 and it reminded him what happened in "Magic Brooms" that day. Ron, who had his back turned on Harry, dumping all his new books in his trunks, nodded, even though Harry couldn't see it. "She was pretty! And wicked too, especially when she beat the tart out of Malfoy! Did you see the expression he had when she kicked him?!"
Harry chuckled at the thought. "Yeah. Malfoy better watch out now that she's around." After wrapping his broom neatly with paper, he went to reach for his school robe. But an awful sting reached his forehead, right where his scar was. "AH!" He groaned, dropping his robe and pressed a palm hard on the lightning bolt scar. In a flash Ron was at his side.
"What's the matter Harry?" He asked. Harry could see Ron's horrified expression. The sting subdued quickly after a few seconds making Harry drop his palm away from his head. "I'm fine," he breathed.
But Harry knew it wasn't ok. He knew Voldemort was still lurking around now in full body with a head of a snake. And worst of all, he knew he was feeling angry, probably killing someone for their mistakes.
"No really, I am!" Harry said, seeing the disbelief and worry still on Ron's pale face. "Right, ok then." Ron said in an unsure voice before going back to his side of the room to finish packing. But Harry could see from the corner of his eyes, Ron always turning his head over to him to make sure he was alright.
Now that Voldemort was back, nothing was safe for Harry. Except for Hogwarts. It was the only place Voldemort feared. All because of Dumbledore, the strongest wizard in history in Harry's opinion. He just couldn't wait to see the headmaster and Hagrid again. Ron and Hermione have also been very watchful on Harry. They never seemed to leave him alone...
After packing and going down for dinner, Ron and Harry came back up to their bedroom again to go to bed. "Night Ron," Harry said laying on his back, looking up at the ceiling. "Night," he heard his red head friend answer from over the bed covers on the other side of the room.
For a while Harry lay awake, his mind on Voldemort. When his scare stung, what was that murder doing? Who did he kill this time? And what about that blonde girl? Why did Harry feel sometime from her... With all these questions dancing in his head, it made him tired and fall asleep.
The next day, Mrs. Weasley's calling for everyone to get up woke Harry from a strange dream. But for some reason he could not remember what it was about... Getting up and rubbing his eyes, he could see Ron's shape moving about trying to put on some clean clothes. Getting his glasses on, he got up and began to get ready.
At quarter to eleven, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were now running towards Platform 9 ¾. But Harry stopped when he saw a familiar face. It was her, the girl they met yesterday at the broom shop. "C'mon," He urged the other two so they could catch up with her.
Minako had arrived at the train station late. It was already quarter to 11, fifteen minutes before the train would leave. And now she was stuck and unsure what to do. She was not familiar of the go-through-platform-9 ¾-wall- process.
"Artemis, I don't get it! What do they mean by Platform 9 and ¾???" Artemis was near her feet, trying to look like a normal feline. "Shh!! It won't look normal if someone sees you yelling at a cat!" He hissed. "Yes but still! What do they mean by this?!" This time Minako's voice was a bit lower. "I'm late as it is!!"
Artemis raised a smile eyebrow at her. "And who's fault would that be? We would have had enough time to figure it out what the ticket means if you had woken up earlier!"
During the summer Minako tried to not be a klutz and become serious like Rei, strong like Makoto, and at least half as smart as Ami. She managed to get the Rei and Makoto qualities correct but Ami's was difficult for her. And she still had her overslept habit. "Well you should have woken me up earlier!" she whispered.
"I did try to wake you up earlier but you wouldn't! You even almost rolled on top of me! Now I'm not saying you're fat 'cause your not but I am a small cat, you could have turned me into a pancake!" Artemis retorted still in an angry hiss.
Minako was about to reply back when she heard a familiar voice say, "Minako?" Turning around, she met Ron, Hermione, and Harry in front of her. They looked at her puzzled. "Where you yelling at your cat?" Hermione asked.
"Uh... um... no. Of- of course not." She had a nervous laugh at the end. "Well, so um... hello! Where are you guys heading to?"
"The train," Ron answered, "It'll be leaving real soon. We need to hurry before it goes without us!"
Minako nodded. She figured she could have them show her the way. "Well, let's go then." She said, getting her trolley away from the brick wall of Platform Nine and ¾.
"I'll go first. Ginny and my mom went ahead of us. They must be worried." Ron went in front of the wall and ran in quick speed towards the middle of it.
"AH, what's he doing?!" Minako panicked. She and Artemis couldn't believe what he was doing. He was running right into the wall! *Are these people mad?* She thought to herself when she looked at Harry and Hermione. They looked like nothing bad was happening.
But she let out a shocking gasp when Ron went right through the wall. "Oh my god! How did he- how did he do that?!" she asked, completely surprised.
Harry and Hermione exchanged glances before Hermione spoke. "It's the way to reach the Hogwarts Express. You know, we have our own station. That's the door to it. Now come on, you can go next."
Minako looked at her before looking at the wall, and then turning back at her. "Are you kidding me?" She asked.
Hermione rolled her eyes as Harry grinned. "It's perfectly safe. Here, I'll go and Harry, you make sure she goes in with you ok?"
Harry nodded as Hermione went in front of the wall. "See you on the other side," she said to the two before going through with her cart. Minako let out a discontented sound. This was just too weird for her. "You're next. Don't worry; it was a bit of a shock to me when I first learned about it." Harry said.
"Right...," Minako murmured before going in front of the wall.
"You won't feel anything. I suggest you keep your eyes open though or you might run right past the station and onto the tracks."
Again a nervous laugh escaped Minako. "Gee, thanks." She said before taking a deep breath and running right into the wall. Expecting to feel a solid force between her and her trolley, she went through with ease as if the wall wasn't there.
Looking around the station Minako saw all the Hogwarts students getting inside the train. Harry arrived right behind her. "Harry, Minako! Over here!" they heard Ron call not too far away. "C'mon," Harry said before leading the way towards the train to Hermione and Ron. They were handing over their luggage. Minako followed, still looking around. The train was huge and looked old fashion. But it didn't both her much.
"Cool place huh Artemis," she whispered as Artemis's big blue eyes looked around. "It's ok. But Hogwarts is better scenery I heard. Now hurry up, you still need to find seats!"
Minako obeyed, going over to the other three to hand over her luggage. When she took her brown owl's cage in her hands and Artemis by her side, she followed Ron, Harry, and Hermione onto the train.
"Well, see you two in a bit," Hermione said before she and Ron, who waved at them, went off to the front of the train station. "Where are they going?"
"They're prefects. They usually have meetings before the school year starts. This is one of them. Well let's go find Ginny and some seats shall we?" Artemis had told Minako what a prefect was so she wasn't puzzled when Harry explain.
Harry began to head towards the back of the train, looking into booths to see if they were occupied. Following him, they finally found the youngest of the Wesleys in a booth by herself. "I was beginning to wonder maybe you missed the train again and tried to take my dad's magic car." Ginny teased as Harry took a seat beside her. Minako noticed a blush on the girl's face when Harry sat down. Not wanting to ruin the moment for her, she took a seat opposite Ginny with Artemis curled on her lap.
"I don't think Ron and I would try that again," Harry laughed. "Besides, Hermione wouldn't let us."
"Hello Minako!" Ginny greeted as if she had only noticed Minako for the first time. "Hey," the blonde spoke back. Petting Artemis's forehead, she listened to the two talk, filling her in on some of the adventures Harry had in previous years. Ginny seemed to like to talk about how Harry saved her from Tom Riddle in his second year.
Minako couldn't ignore the blush that kept appearing on Ginny's cheeks. *I know a crush when I see one,* she smiled to herself. She also knew most of the stuff on Harry. His survival as baby, his second survival after meeting Voldemort only two years ago, all of them. Artemis and Dumbledore made it a point that she knew it.
After what seemed for an hour of endless talking, the door opened to have Hermione and Ron enter. "Sorry we arrived late; the prefect meeting was taking forever!" Ron complained, taking a seat next to Hermione who sat beside Minako. "I thought it was short. We could have discussed more important things," Hermione said, receiving a look of disgust from Ron.
"We should be arriving at Hogwerts in a couple of hours, enough time to get in our robes. Well come on Ginny, Minako, let's get ready." Hermione suggested, getting up and going out of the booth. Ginny followed her.
"Ron, could you take care of Artemis for me?" Minako asked, picking up Artemis and placing him on Ron's lap before he could answer. "Uh- but I'm not very good with cats!" Ron protested. Minako was already out of the room before she could hear him. Harry laughed at this. "Well, you're stuck with me old fellow." Ron said, trying to make Artemis comfortable on his lap.
*Old fellow? Hey! I happen to be young cat!* Artemis thought to himself with one of his eyebrows twitching. But he stopped to listen to what the two teenaged boys had to say.
"Your scar hasn't hurt at all has it?" Ron asked. "No, not at all today." Harry's spontaneous effect was that his hand went to feel his scar. "Don't tell anyone about last nigh ok? Cause if Hermione found out, she'll overreact and come to unnecessary conclusions."
Ron shook his head, no. "I won't tell. But I think you should tell Dumbledore. He should know these things. It might help him or something." "I'll think about it...," Harry said softly, looking out the window. Artemis looked at the two boys, studying them.
*So Harry's scar hurt last nigh huh?* Artemis spoke silently. *Better tell Minako this.* Quickly, Artemis jumped off Ron's lap and ran out of the booth. "Hey! Come back!" Ron yelled after him, getting to his feet. Harry also was about to go after the white feline before they heard a very recognizable snicker.
"Well, if it isn't Stink Potter and Weasel." Draco jeered, appearing at the door with his two oversized cronies, Goyle and Crabbe. Goyle had Artemis in his hand, holding him by the tail. "Hey, look at what I caught! I saw it run out of the room." He snickered with Crabbe. Artemis was trying to scratch the living daylights out of the stupid buffoon but couldn't reach. It hurt him badly being carried by his tail.
"As a prefect, let him go Goyle or I'll take points off for cruelty to animals!" Ron warned.
This only made the three bullies laugh. "Right, and as a prefect, I will take out points for letting an animal lose in the train." Malfoy countered back.
Artemis let out a loud meow when Goyle began to swing him. Harry's and Ron's hand had already turned into fist, ready to punch him. But unknown to them, they did not notice the three figures coming their way from behind.
Minako, Hermione, and Ginny, were now in their school robes. Minako wore a black one since she still needed to be sorted in her house that night. Hermione and Ginny had the red and gold color and the icon of Gryffindor on their tie and robes. When they headed back, they noticed the door being blocked by the two large bullies, Goyle and Crabbe. They could hear and see the blonde/white hair of Malfoy over their shoulders. But Minako must have taken it the hardest. Her face went red when she saw Goyle swinging Artemis by the tail.
"HOW DARE YOU! PUT HIM DOWN NOW YOU FAT LUMP OF LARD!" She screamed, making almost everybody in the section hear. Minako quickly ran up to them before doing a hard karate-chop on Goyle's back with her hand.
"AH!" he cried in pain, dropping Artemis down, who landed on all fours. When Minako had yelled at, Crabbe and Draco turned around to see the fiery blonde. Harry and Ron noticed gigantic hate from Draco's eyes when he saw her.
"Looks like you didn't learn your listen the last time did you?" Hermione asked, she and Ginny were also angry from the cruel behavior of the cat. "For that Goyle, I'll make sure to take off ten points when we reach Hogwarts. For cruel actions towards a creature for no good reason."
Draco pushed his way until he was in front of the girls now. "Is that so Mudblood?" Minako, know knowing what it meant, took effect of this. Hermione's eyes flickered at the mention of the foul name too. "Well then, me being a prefect as well," He turned to Minako, glaring into her eyes, "I'll make sure to take twenty, for leaving your cat astray in the train, not keeping him controlled, and for violently attack a fellow student," He nodded at Goyle who was trying to rub the stinging spot on his back with his portly arm. "When we reach Hogwarts."
"Is that wise? I might be sorted off into Slytherin tonight. You'll be taking off twenty points from your own house Malfoy." Minako reminded trying to keep on Rei's glare. Artemis was now in her arms again.
A smirk was on Draco's face. "You're not worthy enough to be a Slytherin. And if you happen to end up in Gryffindor, be prepared for the worst year of your life." He scoffed before he pushed his way roughly between Minako and Hermione. Goyle quickly followed, glaring at Minako while Crabbe showed his fist at Harry and Ron as a reminder to watch out.
Once they were gone, Minako let out a loud sigh before going inside the booth and taking a seat next to the window. "I hate that guy's guts! If he or any of his stinkin followers touch Artemis again, hell will pay!" she grumbled to herself as the others took their seats.
"Yeah but then again, you showed that jumbo-sized Goyle who was boss! Did you see that pain in his eyes? How did you manage to do it with all the fat as his armor though?" Ron chuckled.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "I don't see anything funny. They could have hurt Artemis bad. And now Minako's on Draco's "To get even" list."
"Well, whatever happens, I just hope you don't get sorted out in Slytherin. Gryffindor and Slytherin are big time rivals." Harry said to Minako.
"Yeah...," Minako answered back, deep in thought.
An hour later after Ron and Harry were in their robes, the train had finally stopped. When Minako looked out the window, she could see a huge castle in the night on top of a hill. "Welcome to Hogwerts Minako," Harry announced.
