Chapter 2
Harry didn't stop playing until he heard his Aunt Petunia start to wake up, he then put his flute away and quickly went down to the kitchen and made breakfast (if that was me I'd spit a big old lougie into Vernon's just for being and ass, and don't even get me started on lardo Dumbshit Dudley, I don't know maybe some shit brewed coffee to wash it all down with, HAH). By the time breakfast was finished (lougie and whatever else I'd really like to do to the Dursleys' free) it was time to leave.
The trip to the station was as boring as ever, there had been no conversation at all that morning, which suited Harry just fine. It was only when Harry got on the train did he even talk to anybody. Harry quickly got a compartment to himself and sat down to wait for his friends. He didn't have to wait too long because as soon as he sat down the compartment door slid open and in walked none other than Hermione Granger (little does anybody know but Harry has started to fall for her since he saw her at he Yule Ball). She was apparently deep in thought because she didn't notice Harry sitting right across from her.
"Oh I wonder if Harry is all right since I didn't see him on the station. I mean he wouldn't miss the train after what happened at the beginning of our Second Year" she thought out loud (hey dido about the whole Harry/Hermione paring though she's had a crush since the whole troll incident). Little did she know that she had a rather amused audience.
"Hello Moine" Harry said with a grin. Hermione nearly jumped out of her skin when she noticed Harry sitting across from her.
"Harry? What happened to you?" asked Hermione.
"What do you mean Hermione?" asked a puzzled Harry.
What Harry had failed to realize was that during the summer he had filled in a lot from physical labor that he was forced to do for the Dursley's before he could go to band practice. That and not to mention lugging a guitar, amp, and gig bag up and down a street for a couple of months tends to build a little muscle.
"Oh nothing" lied Hermione.
"Hey where's Ron, I haven't seen him all summer" questioned Harry.
"Well over the summer he started to see Lavender Brown so right now he's with her. But I don't doubt that we will see him at some point on the train ride to school. So what have you been doing this summer" said Hermione.
Harry told her about the visit from their professors one week after school was out, he told her about being in the band and how much fun it was (he left out all the physical labor that he had to do though and the fact that he sang).
"You play the electric guitar!!!" exclaimed Hermione "that's great because guess what, I play the bass. I bought it with my birthday money".
"Hermione that's fantastic! You know what this means don't you. If we find somebody to play drums then we'll have a band" Harry felt more alive now than he had in months.
"Well then isn't this a happy coincidence, cause it just so happens that I play the drums" Harry and Hermione nearly jumped out of their skin and looked over to see Ron and Lavender standing in the doorway of the compartment.
"Ron you serious" asked Harry.
"As a heart attack" stated Ron, "and Lavender is excellent with sound equipment not to mention that she can play backup guitar. Isn't that right Lav". The girl in question blushed at Ron's praise but nodded her head all the same.
"Then it's set. All we need is a name" said Harry banging his fist into his open hand to make his point.
"Ah Harry aren't you forgetting something here" asked Hermione.
"What" asked Harry?
"We don't have a singer yet" pointed out Hermione.
"Yeah mate! You can't have a band without one" said Ron.
"Well guys there is one more thing that I didn't tell you" said Harry while turning red.
"What" asked the three of them in unison?
"ICanSing" Harry said in a rush.
It took a second for this to sink in but when it did the others were ecstatic. For the rest of the train ride they debated band names. First they were too girly then too stupid. Finally they all agreed on the name of "Tears and Talons of a Phoenix" or TATOAP for short.
