Chapter four:
Alternate Meetings
After leaving the wand shop, she had gone to Eeylops Owl Emporium. Where she had expected to by an owl, but in fact came out of the store, with a talking black cat.
She had had a choice between a white one and a black one. The black one made her feel more like a witch, so she bought that one.
"Luna, is there really a platform nine and three quarters at Kings Cross?" Bunny was pushing a long cart that held her trunk, and a bag for her personal items.
The month of August had gone by quickly. She spent most of it working, and covering for Vicki. She didn't receive any more letters by owl, which she didn't mind. It was hard to explain to others why an owl was delivering her mail.
The black cat draped over her left shoulder let out a sigh. "I do not know Bunny. I haven't been anywhere outside of Diagon alley for over ten years."
Bunny looked around her; she counted the platforms, matching them with their numbers. She noted, the each number, held nothing between them.
Platform one, platform two, platform three, platform four, five, six, seven, eight. She reached platform nine, with ten on the other side of the wall.
"Uh." She pointed at the brick wall, "Am I reading the letter wrong? There isn't a platform nine and three quarters Luna." The black cat stared hard at the two platforms.
"I think I remember something about this. What was it?" The black cat jumped down from where she was perched on Bunny's shoulder. She bounded towards the wall, and stared up at the two signs. "Nine and three quarters eh?"
Curious, she placed both of her paws on the wall. But before Bunny could even blink, the black cat seemingly disappeared. "Luna!!"
Pushing her cart forward, Bunny moved to the wall. She watched in shock, as Luna came out of the wall. "How interesting. I found you train Bunny. Follow me, and make sure no one sees you."
Bunny nodded, and watched the black cat disappear through the wall again. Swallowing, the blonde glanced about her, looking for any watchful eyes.
When she was sure no one was looking, she slipped through the wall, pushing her cart along.
?????
"Well, there you are, boy. Platform nine and platform ten. Your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they don't seem to have built it yet, do they?"
Harry looked at his over weight Uncle, just as someone yelled, "Luna!!" He moved his gaze to the signs nine and ten, and a frown formed on his face. Standing in between the two signs, was a girl around his age. She had long blonde hair, pulled back into an odd style.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and peered closer at her. Was she talking to the wall?
He wasn't paying much attention to what his uncle was telling him, but he caught four final words from him. "Have a good term." Vernon Dursley, then left without a word.
Harry watched, as the blonde haired girl straightened, then glance around. He made himself scarce, and pretended to be interested with his feet. He looked up, as she stepped through the brick wall.
He moved forward, only to stop in front of the barrier. He reached out, and watched in shock as his hand disappeared through it.
Frowning, he grabbed his cart, and pushed it through.
?????
Bunny Moon pursed her lips together, as she stepped through the gateway. She emerged on the other side.
She looked over, to find a steam train, at her right. Smoke puffed out of the big black pipe. Turning away, she gazed about the platform.
A sign hanging above her, read nine and three quarters. Looking away, she watched as women, men, children bustled about the platform. Kids her age, and older climbed on and off the train.
It was loud, shrieks of joy filled the air, along with angry shouts. Parents hurried to restrain their children, while children ran amuck.
Cats followed their masters, rubbing against their legs. Owl hooted and screeched from their cages. Toads croaked, and rats scampered about.
Bunny held out her arms, and Luna leaped into them. She draped the black cat over her shoulder. Still looking around, she asked, "So what do we do now?"
Luna's red eyes flickered over everything she could see from her perspective. "Lets find a place to store your trunk. I believe we still have ten minutes before we leave."
Bunny nodded, "All right." She started down the platform, searching for an empty carriage.
The first few she passed were filled. Kids hung from out the windows, calling to their families, and waving goodbye. She glanced at a boy she passed, with a round chubby face. He looked upset about something. She was tempted to stop and ask if he was all right, when he muttered something to an old woman next to him, "Gran, I lost my toad again."
The old woman sighed, "Oh Neville."
She then passed another boy, surrounded by a group of kids. Curious, she paused to see what he held, like the others around him had.
"Give us a look, Lee, go on."
Bunny looked at the girl next to her with a frown. Turning back, she felt someone bump into her. She looked behind her, just as the kids around her shrieked and yelled.
She barely caught a glimpse, of a boy with dark hair, and glasses, pushing his cart down the platform. He wore an outfit several times larger than he looked, and shirt and pants seemed to cling onto his small frame for dear life.
Luna swiped at her cheek, "Bunny, lets hurry. The train isn't going to wait for us."
The blonde nodded, and left the crowed. She found an empty compartment near the end of the train, and went to work on unloading her trunk.
She dragged it from her cart, as Luna jumped from her shoulder. "I wish I could help you, but I think I would only be a burden." The black cat began to pace, "Maybe I can find someone to help you."
She bounded off, leaving Bunny all alone.
Bunny sighed, looking around to see where Luna had run off. "Luna! Luna come back here."
She frowned, shaking her head. She glanced up the steps, the frown deepened as she noted how steep the steps were.
Sighing dejectedly, she grabbed her suitcase, and placed it inside first. Then, she turned to her trunk, and contemplated, which end to work on first.
"Fred? George? Are you there?"
Bunny paused, and turned to look over her shoulder. A woman with bright red hair was standing near the carriage she was at.
"Coming mom." Bunny barely had time to move out of the way, as two boys a couple of years older than herself, come racing down the stairs.
She watched them run off toward the older woman.
Bunny studied the group of six. The woman had to be their mother, with her shining bright red hair, that matched all five children's.
Along with the twins, was a boy her age, and a girl younger than the boy. Both had bright red hair, and freckles.
Suddenly the mother pulled out a handkerchief, "Ron, you've got something on your nose."
Bunny pursed her lips together, to keep herself from smiling at the site of a loving family. Something she lacked.
The youngest boy pulled back from his mother, his face turning as red as his hair. "Mom geroff." He ducked away from her arms, nearly being caught.
"Aaah, has little Ronnie got something on his nose?" Bunny turned her gaze back to the twins, and she suppressed another smile.
The boy named Ron went red in the face, "Oh shut up." He crossed his arms over his chest, slightly pouting.
The mother shook her head, and gave the twins a warning look. "Where's Percy?"
One of the twins pointed off to the right, "He's coming now." Bunny looked in the direction he pointed to, and saw a boy much older than the others stride towards the group. He too had bright red hair.
Not wanting to get upset in front of a crowed of people, she turned from the loving family. She grabbed the handle of the front of her trunk, and pushed and shoved it closer to the train.
When she reached the steps, she rounded it, and grabbed the handle on the other end. Gripping it tightly, she heaved it up, almost reaching the step, when her hands slipped. "Ow!" Tears filled her eyes, and she tugged her foot from under it. The pain was unbearable.
?????
Ron rolled his eyes, as his older brother Percy reached them. "Can't stay long, Mother." He puffed out his chest slightly as he added, "I'm up front, the prefects have got two compartments to themselves."
He looked down, when he felt something rub against his leg. A black cat was rubbing her side against his left leg. He frowned slightly, and tugged his shirt closer to himself.
The cat meowed, before biting onto his pant leg, and tugged.
He scowled slightly and hissed below his breath, "Shoo cat." The cat meowed again, letting go of his pants. Then she bounded off towards the train.
His eyes followed her, and watched as she stopped next to a girl his age. A single red eyebrow rose, as he noticed she was struggling to lift her trunk.
"Ow!"
He winced, as he saw the trunk land hard on her foot. He glanced briefly at his family, before he hurried over to see if she was okay.
?????
"Are you okay?"
Bunny's head jerked up, and she assessed the boy stand next to her. She recognized him as the youngest boy Ron from the family she had been eavesdropping on.
She flushed, heat rising to her cheeks. She hoped he hadn't seen her watching them.
When she didn't answer, Ron asked, "Want a hand?" He pointed to her trunk, and Bunny blinked, slightly confused. She glanced down at her trunk, "Oh yes please." She flushed, and went grab her end. Ron took the other, and together, they were able to heave the heavy trunk onto the train.
She found a compartment, "Thank you." She shoved the thing under the bench, and fell into it exhausted.
Ron stood inside the compartment, holding her suitcase. His cheeks were turning red, and he hurried set it down, "Err, you're welcome."
She glanced up at him, just as a whistle blew.
"Hurry up!" Over the sound of kids rushing to get onto the train, they could hear his mother telling them to get onto the train. She felt the train lurch forward, and start off down the tracks.
Feeling foolish, Bunny climbed to feet, as Luna bounded into the room, and hopped onto the bench seat. She held out her hand, "I'm Bunny Moon, thank you for helping me with my trunk."
The red haired boy looked flustered, but managed a weak reply, "Ron Weasley."
She flashed him a bright smile, just as the door to the compartment opened wider.
"Hey Ron."
Bunny looked up over Ron's shoulder, to see the twins. They were grinning from ear to ear. Ron ripped his hand from hers, and whirled around, just at one of the twin chuckled.
"New girlfriend eh?"
The other twin's grin broadened, "Ronniekins, never new you had it in ya. Way to go!"
Ron scowled, "Shut up." He had his head bowed slightly, and was glaring down at the floor.
The twins looked up over him, and waved. The one on the right spoke up, "Hey there. I'm George, and this Fred. I see you met our little brother."
Ron went red in the face, "I'm not little." He wrinkled his nose at the word.
George smirked slightly, and nudged Fred, while bobbing his eyebrows. Fred nodded, and both Ron and Bunny missed the secret exchange they had between them.
Bunny piped in, "I'm Bunny Moon. It's a pleasure."
Fred shoved Ron aside, and stepped forward. He took her hand, and kissed it with a mischievous grin on his face.
Bunny blushed, "Uh.I." George pushed Fred away, taking her hand in his, and shook it. "Yes glad to meet Ronnie's girly."
Ron glowered, at his brothers, as he pushed himself off of the bench seat Fred had pushed him into. "Whatever."
He stalked out of the compartment. Fred chuckled, as he hurried after the younger boy. George let her hand go, and pulled back.
He stood in the doorway, and winked; "See ya at Hogwarts, Buns." With that said, he disappeared down the aisle.
Bunny stared after him her face beat red. BUNS?!? She had never been so insulted in her life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well tell me what you think, this story is in dire need of reviews, oh well, I like it, and I think it's going somewhere. Hope you're enjoying it. Haha did any of you catch it??? Huh, huh, tell me you saw it? I think I did really well at putting Bunny into this part of the story. The twins had just gotten done helping Harry onto the train, when Bunny gets to that train. After Ron helps her, and leaves because his twins upset him, he sits with.Harry! Haha I thought I did good.
Oh well, what did you think of George and Fred's reaction to Bunny??? I love it, and I think I will continue it.
Again any of you want Darien in this story??? If so better speak up now.
Vote for couples:
Harry/Bunny: 10 looking pretty could, this might work out considering the voting in my other story.
Draco/Bunny: 4 not to sure about this one either, for at least this story, considering the house Bunny will be in, hehe
Ron/Bunny: 2 awe I was rooting for him to, oh well.
Snape/Bunny: 2 I really don't know about this one, but I think I might work something out.
The beginning of this story will be based on a triangle romance, Ron, Harry, and not sure yet. But whatever guy gets to 92 first, will be the one she picks. No rush either, since this is a seven series and all. I might change the voting number, considering this doesn't get nearly as much reviews as my other story.
Review questions:
Well Bunny isn't famous famous, it more like her mother is, which makes her somewhat famous. The kids at Hogwarts don't know about her mother and why she's famous, but the teachers, and adults do. Most respect her mother a great deal. Lucius was commenting on it, because, they don't like the Potters, and Bunny's mother was more liked by all sorts of people. Cant say to much, without giving out to much..
