Chapter 4

It was two weeks after Harry arrived at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. Hermione and Ron had their usual daily arguments about S.P.E.W.

"C'mon Hermione, the house elves love to work" Ron said as they were packing to leave for Hogwarts.

"It's not fair . . .They should love to work and get paid for it, too!" Hermione snapped back, "You want pay, don't you Kreacher?" Hermione asked as Kreacher walked by her.

Kreacher mumbled something and walked out the door.

"See, look how depressed Kreacher is" said Hermione.

"He's always depressed, Hermione, live with it" Ron said.

"Hmph" she said and walked out the door.

"There's no hope for her, is there?" asked Ron to Harry.

"I don't know, Ron, she has more brains than you do" smiled Harry.

"C'mon, let's pack" grunted Ron unhappily.

Harry packed the picture of Sirius, and the gang into his suitcase, pick up Hedwig and walked out the door right into Ginny, knocking her over.

"So sorry Ginny, are you all right?" asked Harry sticking out his hand to help her up.

"Yes, I'm fine," said Ginny grabbing Harry's hand and she got up from the floor " You already to go, Bill's waiting for us by the car".

Harry nodded and walked down the stairs to where Bill was standing.

"Here let me get stuff Harry," said Bill

"Thanks" replied Harry.

They traveled in two different cars to Platform 9 ¾. Harry was in the car with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Ginny. They arrived at the train station and hurried to get to the train. Without attracting attention, Harry slowly went to the barrier between platfrom 9 and 10, and slowly slipped through the wall. There is saw the train to Hogwarts. Ginny and Hermione came after him, and five minutes later Ron, came with his parents and Bill.

"Now hurry along, you don't want to miss the train do you?" asked Mrs. Weasley ushering them over to the door.

"I will get your luggage and you find seats, hope to see you soon!" Bill said and waved good-bye.

"Good-bye, dears" said Mrs. Weasley as the train whistle blew, and it pulled out if the station.

Harry and the gang found a compartment and sat down.

"Well, Well, Well, look who it is, its Potty and the gang!" sneered Draco Malfoy as he walked in to Harry's compartment.

"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Hermione galring back at him.

"There's a prefect meeting, miss perfect!" said Draco "In the prefect compartment at 12"

Draco walked away, with Goyle and Crabbe at his tail.

" I can't stand them," said Ginny

"Nobody can, except Snape!" said Harry

"Anyway Harry," said Hermione try to change the subject " Did you read my book I lent you?"

"Oh, yes, thanks Hermione, I'll give it back to you when we get into school, it's in my suitcase" replied Harry

"Alright, thank you," said Hermione.

The train was nearing the bridge where the train stopped three years aog due to the dementors who were looking for Sirius. As the train got nearer, Harry started to feel faint. Suddenly,

(FLASHBACK) A dementor came into their compartment. It got deathly cold. Harry fell to the ground; it felt like all the happiness was sucked out of him. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were feeling the same thing too. Then, the professor who was sleeping jumped up and said a spell; something silvery came out of his wand and drove the dementor back. (END OF FLASHBACK)

"Harry.. HARRY!" Ron yelled shaking Harry back and forth.

Harry opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the floor. He looked up and saw the worrried faces of Hermione, Ron, and Ginny.

"Harry, are you alright, what happened?" asked Hermione

"I saw a dementor and Remus" said Harry

"You must have saw what happened three years ago" said Ginny

"But it was so real, and it was like everything happened all over again" he said as he got up from the floor.

"Are you alright, mate?" asked Ron handing him some chocolate.

"Yes, I'm fine," said Harry taking the chocolate and eating it.

Harry didn't tell anyone but he placed his hand on his forehead because his scar was bright red and it was burning hot, and Harry was shaking because of it.
