Chapter 3: The Hogwarts Express

They spent the remainder of the two weeks looking around both muggle and wizard London. After getting tons of clothes from the muggle mall, finnally getting an explanation from mum and papa about the wizard world, and teaching their pets tricks, They had become favorites for all the shop keepers in diagon alley and of a few in muggle London. Of course all the shopkeepers had a treat for their pets. Though the muggles though that Flamespirit was a large rare type of eagle. The two weeks went by very fast and before they knew it they where at the station kissing there parents goodbye. "Remember, If a boy talks to you ignore them!" Said Papa."Have a good time and ignore what Haraku said!" said mum. They laughed. "Don't get into any trouble!" "What makes you think we will? said Usagi grinning evily. Yeah! Don't you trust us? I said. Just kidding! said Hotaru." "Goodbye sweethearts." said mum kissing the tops of our heads. "Goodbye mum goodbye papa!" we said. We couldn't help but notice that some people were staring at our parents. One women with red hair and a bunch of kids went up to them and said." I'm Molly Weasly. Do you happen to be Haraku Tenioh the famous racer. And are you Michuru Keioh the violinist?" "Yes we are!" "Wow! I am totally in love with your music and I try never to miss a race that your in! We left smiling. We knew that mum and Papa were about to make some new friends. "Wait! Usagi! Mera! Hotaru! Come back here!" called papa. We turned and walked back. "Yes papa?" we asked. Introduce yourselves to Molly's children. We turned around and looked at the children. They all had red hair like their mum. We must have looked strange to them. Me: army camo shirt that said army brat, sand trooper cargo capris, My black hair with blue stripes in braids reaching down past my waist. And My orange and pink eyes noticeable because of my mascera. Usagi: Blue tank top with spirals of cloth wrapped around her arms, Blue cargo capris, Black hair red stripes in two braids reaching way past waist and her green and white eyes brought out with the blue eyeshadow around her eyes. Hotaru: Tye-dye tank top, and purple cargo capris, and her black hair with purple stripes in two braids reaching past her waist and her one eye purple one eye blue showing up with blue eyeshadow over the blue eye and purple eyeshadow over the purple one. They were staring at us and at our eyed. "I'm Mera, I'm Usagi, And I am Hotaru. We said. They introduced themselves. I'm Ginny, I'm Fred, I'm George, I interrupted here and said "no your Fred and your George! Trust me I'm a triplet you cant fool us. I'm Ron, and I'm Percy. Nice to meet you." We shook hands. "Is that your real eye color?" the one called Ginny asked. "Yes it is." Just then we heard the whistle signaling that the train was about to leave. "That's are call! Said Usagi." With that we left and got our things on the train.

"C'mon lets find a place to sit." I said. We moved up and down corridors trying to find and empty seat. There weren't any but every time we asked they stared at our eyes and asked to pet our pets. We no longer considered them pets but part of us so we called them spirits. We managed to run into Harry. He was sitting with Ron and some girl with bushy hair. Like everyone else there was no room and The girl whose name was Hermione stared at our eyes and everyone asked to pet our spirites. There were two compartments left to check the first contained Draco and two boys who liked kind of stupid. Windspirit, or windy as her nickname, did not like them and I had to grab her as she lunged at one of them with her teeth bared. "WINDSPIRIT!! What's gotten into you?" I said angrily as I knelt down. I looked windy in the eye. I shook my head. "Bad girl very bad girl." I said. "Well I guess we wont be staying here." Usagi said while keeping a tight grip on Nightspirit. We turned and left. The last compartment was empty except for a black haired girl who looked kinda sad. "Hello! Can we sit here?" I called out. The girl turned her head. "Fine you can sit here. As long as you tell me your names. I smiled. We would have her smiling by the end of five minutes. "I'm Mera! I'm Usagi ! I'm Hotaru! AND WE ARE THE............TENIOH TRIPLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!" We shouted together. "I'm Diju Maoke, it is a pleasure to meet you three." She said. I noticed something strange about her. When she looked at us it was like she was staring right through us. Usagi plopped down next to her."Why are you so sad?" she asked. "Huh? I'm not sad!......I ....I .....I'm just... just not ..smiling! Yeah I'm just not smiling, that's it." she replied. "Yeah.. Sssuuurrrrrreeeee. I said not believing a word she said. There was a knock on the door of the compartment. I got up to open it but Diju was faster and opened it. It was a boy with a mop of brown hair on his head "Have you seen my toad?" he asked. I instantly looked at windy. She grinned back at me or at least tried to. She was also trying very hard to look innocent. I gave her a look that said "I'll deal with you later" To the boy I said"Nope. Haven't seen it!" "Oh darn I've been looking all over. If you find it tell me." he said. "We will." diju said reassuringly before closing the door. She sat back down. I looked her in the eye for a few seconds. Then I realized why she was so strange. When I realized it my eyes got very wide. A fact that did not escape Usagi or Hotaru's notice. "What is it?" They asked. I shook my head and looked at Diju. "I had no idea! I am so sorry!" I said. "What, what?" my trips asked via mind message."Its okay. A lot of people make fun of me for it so I don't tell people about it now. You really can only tell it if you look really close at me." Diju said. "Will someone tell us what' going on?" My trips shouted. "I'm blind." Diju told them. "I had no idea! Said Usagi. You really cant tell by the way you act!" finished Hotaru. "I know." Diju said. There was another knock on the door. This time I got to the door first (^-^) I opened it. It was the brown haired girl Hermione. "Has anyone seen a toad at all?" she looked like she was trying not to cry. Usagi being the most sensitive to other people's feelings noticed this and got her to sit down. "What happened?" she asked. "What are you talking about?" Hermione asked choking on a sob. "Hermione, Your on the verge of bursting into tears." I stated looking at her. Windy came over and licked her face. Hermione smiled a little bit. "Tell us!" we begged her. "Fine. I was asking around for the toad and when I reached the second to last compartment they called me a .. a. a Mugblood!!!!!" After saying this she burst into tears."They didn't!" Said Diju. "I'll go over there right now and take care of them!" and with that she marched out the door and into the next compartment. "What's a mugblood?" Hotaru asked. "It's a really cruel name for a witch or wizard with muggle parentage." Hermione sobbed. "There, there it's alright. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!" I said. Who ever made up that saying was dead wrong. Words hurt. They hurt a lot. I got out my guitar and began to play as I always do when I'm upset. Music helps calm me just like my camera and painting does. Eventually Hermione crying came down to a sniffle or two every now and then. When it stopped all together I put away my guitar and we waited for Diju to come back. There was another knock on the door. I got up and opened it expecting it to be Diju but instead it was a women pushing a snack cart. "Hello there! Would you like a snack?" she said sweetly. We smiled and got a few things. I was puzzled at first by the chocolate frogs. "There not real frogs, are they?" I asked. "No there not. Your not the first person to ask that either. I might have to put up a sign." she said smiling. Then she left. There was another knock on the door. I opened it And said"Welcome to the last compartment please wipe your feet on the welcome mat." I said this because so many people kept knocking on the door. It was Diju, finally. "What took you so long?" Usagi asked. "Yeah you were gone for like forever!" said Hotaru. "Oh, I was busy yelling at them!" Diju said smiling. Before we could ask anymore questions she said " Can I have some of the bertie botts every flavor beans and what not? I missed the snack cart!" We spent the rest of the ride daring each other to try beans that looked dangerous or disgusting.
