The Very Amusing Train Ride

Allison woke up the next day and put on her glasses. She walked over to her sister's crib, only to find that she was still fast asleep. So, with the time that she had, Allison walked into her bathroom and took a shower.

She walked back out into her room after the shower and put on her undergarments. Then, she grabbed her favorite flared carpenter jeans, a cream colored stretch shirt, and a navy blue zip-up hoodie. She dug around her drawer for her ankle socks and when she found them she slipped them on and ran into her closet to look for her New Balance 529s.

Allison tied her hair up into a neat ponytail and put on her Yankees cap over it, pulling her ponytail out the back. She went back in the bathroom and got her bag full of her cosmetics and her stuff for her contact lenses. Ally stuffed them in her backpack and walked over to her baby sister's bed.

She walked around the room gathering her sister's things and putting them in her old rolling backpack. Suddenly, she heard a cry. Allison turned around and found her baby sister sitting up, face tear-stained, and she was looking at Ally through the bars of her crib.

"Aww, it's okay, Andy! I'm here!" Ally said as she picked her sister up from the crib. The baby hiccupped and Ally laughed.

She put Andy on her bed and took out some clothes for her. Ally got out a shirt that her dad got for her. She remembered it all too well; he got them and him one too at a Potions convention. It said, "Can you smell what the Potions Master's brewin'?" and she never, ever wore it. She got out pants, socks, sneakers, and a fresh diaper.

She took Andy to the bathroom and gave her a bath and changed her diaper. Then, she dressed her up and carried her out of the room with the backpacks. Allison turned the corner on the right and stepped into the elevator.

They went down two floors below them (they were on the third floor) and stepped out. Allison carried Andy into the living room, where she dropped their stuff off.

Then, they walked into the breakfast where they found their dad sipping coffee and nodding to whatever this pale boy was saying ("Obviously, Draco Malfoy," Allison thought.) who was sitting across from him. Matt was talking to this bored looking girl that sat across from him as well ("Probably Pansy Parkinson," Allison said inside her head."). A tall looking woman in her early 30's was sitting by Severus and Draco, listening to their conversation ("Of course, she's Narcissa Malfoy.").

"Good morning, Dad! Morning Matt! Mrs. Malfoy, Draco, Pansy." Allison said as she sat down in the chair next to Narcissa.

"Give Andy here, Ally." Severus said to his daughter. She stood up and gave the baby to her father, and then she walked back to her seat and her usual breakfast, sunny-side up eggs, sausage, hash browns, and two pieces of evenly buttered toast appeared on her plate. She poured herself a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

"So, Dad, is it going to be Matt or me who's going to be the second Slytherin prefect?" Allison asked her dad.

"I was thinking about letting Matt to be the prefect since Draco is the other Slytherin prefect and I thought it would be good since the Ravenclaw prefects are both boys and the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff prefects are all girls." Severus said. Allison frowned as Matt smiled triumphantly at his sister.

"But, I was also thinking of giving Allison a position on the Slytherin Quidditch team. I know you're capable of all the positions and there are openings for all the positions, except for seeker. Draco here is our team captain and seeker. Well, what do you think, Draco?" Severus said.

"Hmm," Draco began, "She has a nice build for a chaser, slim, can fit through most spaces, and she looks quick. Are you quick?"

Allison nodded, "What broom do you fly?"

Allison answered, "I fly a Demon-Hawk Version 5.0. It's a broom manufactured only in the United States. I got it when I was made beater for my house team in Durmstrang, first one in the history of the school."

"But can you play?" Draco asked waving his fork around.

"Of course she can play! You think MY daughter can't play QUIDDITCH?" Severus yelled.

"Yes, sir, I know she can play but-" Draco stuttered.

"I wouldn't be suggesting her for the team unless she was good, Draco! We need the best of the best for our team! Not only has Gryffindor won the House cup every year since Potter has been here, but they have always beaten Slytherin in ALL the Quidditch games we've played against them!" Severus stopped and caught his breath.

"Well, I think you should get going now." Narcissa suggested looking at the grandfather clock by the wall.

"Oh yeah! Let's go! Clunky!" Ally yelled. A sharp crack was heard and an elf dressed in a teddy bear patterned pillowcase appeared.

"You called, Miss Ally?" The elf asked.

"Yes, Clunky. I need you to get these plates and get them washed, okay?" Ally told the elf.

"Yes, Miss Ally. Anything else?" Clunky asked her mistress. "I would like you and Clumpy to take charge of the house elves. You can choose which you want to supervise, just make sure that everything is in good working by the time we come home in June and I'll give you some new pillowcases." Ally told her. The elf bowed and left with a sharp crack.

"Okay, now we can go." Ally told them and they hurried into the living room.

"Everybody take your bags and trunks and step up when I call your name. Ally, you're up first." Severus said. She rolled her eyes and grabbed and bit of Floo powder.

She threw it into the fire and clearly said, "King's Cross Station, Platform 9 and ¾."

The fire turned an emerald green color and stepped in, carrying her backpack, trunk, and her owl. Allison landed with a thud at Platform 9 and ¾. Allison stood up and dusted off her robes and handed her trunk and cage to a young wizard who was loading the storage area of the train with the teacher's luggage.

More thuds signaled that the others had arrived. Allison walked over to her brother and helped him with his luggage.

"Allison?" a girl's voice asked behind her. Allison spun around and looked at the girl, and then finally recognizing the girl, she went, "Hermione?"

The girl nodded, her long hair bouncing as her head moved, a younger girl, probably a year younger, stood next to her, along with two other boys. They hugged and Hermione said, "I can't believe you're here!"

"Well, my dad teaches at Hogwarts. That's why I'm here." They started walking towards the entrance of the train. Footsteps followed them and Allison curiously turned around.

"You okay, Ly?" Matt asked.

"Fine. I'm fine." She answered. Matt nodded and he ran to save seat for the rest of the kids.

"So, is your dad Professor Flitwick?" Hermione asked. Ally laughed.

"Professor Flitwick is pretty cool, he taught me all the charms I know now, but no he's not my dad." Ally answered.

Suddenly, Allison had a feeling as if it was a warning about something. She focused more and saw Draco's face in her head.

"Draco, don't even try it!" Allison suddenly said. She whipped around quickly and found Draco looking confused. The other four looked confused as well and stopped in their tracks.

"Hey Draco, what's up?" Allison asked with fake happiness. He smiled back the same way and was coming closer when.

"I know you have a strange liking for her, Mr. Malfoy, but please, kindly not play around with my daughter." Severus said as he saw the scene. Draco nodded and hurried away into the train. Severus nodded at them and gave a quick smile to his daughter before walking into the third car of the train.

"He's your-," the dark haired boy asked.

"Yeah, Professor Snape is my dad, Harry." They walked into the last car and found the compartment where Pansy and Matt were waiting.

"Wait we won't fit!" Pansy said. Ally rolled her eyes and stepped in. She raised her hands up breathed deeply.

"She looks possessed." Ron whispered to Hermione.

"Oh, do shut up, Ron!" Ginny said as they watched Allison with curious minds.

Suddenly, a jet of light flew out of Allison's fingertips and the light filled the room. The light disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared and Allison fell onto one of the seats.

Everybody walked in and marveled at the enlarged room. Hermione doubled back before entering, outside, it looked like any other compartment, inside, it easily fit eight or more people.

They all took a seat and nervously sat in silence until...

"So," Allison said, "How were your summers?"

"Uh, I went to Hawaii with my parents." Hermione said, "Pretty cool down there, Oahu was pretty nice too!"

"I went to France for Bill and Faye's wedding. It was so cool. Harry came too, Faye almost passed out when Harry shook her hand. It was so funny." Ron said.

"Aside from me, Sirius came along too. Faye started screaming in French until Bill reminded her he had been cleared a few months ago. She calmed down and shook his hand, then she gave him the evil eye through the whole reception." Harry said laughing along with Ron, who had started laughing the minute Harry began, who was on the floor.

"I was at home hanging around, playing in the fields. My mom was hanging with Pansy; she's planning on adopting Pansy, since Pansy's parents have disappeared. Mom took her in after she was brought to a shelter a few hours after she was found walking down the streets alone." Draco said.

"I spent hours talking to Narcissa at the manor. I think Draco got pretty bored, but I think I'll like having Draco as a brother. We're changing my name to Nicoletta Annette Malfoy. Narcissa's gonna be a cool mom." Pansy said.

"I stayed home and took care of my sister, rode my horse, walked the dogs, watched the guys, and that's basically it." Allison said.

"I did the same," gasps from the girls and sniggers from the boys and Ally, "I meant I watched the girls instead of the guys. oh, you know what I mean!!" Matt finished loudly.

"You know, Marcus Flint may not be cute, but his brother is quite the hottie at Slytherin Avenue. Jeremiah Flint is HOT! He plays basketball outside, in their court by their house, without his shirt. So glad Jerry's our age." Ally said as she sighed.

"Then how come he doesn't go to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked, eager to know.

"He goes to Durmstrang, I was his best friend back there. He was on the team with me as the other beater." Ally bragged.

"Some other ones are Benjamin, Cameron, and Darren Pucey. Triplets, the wonders of birth," Ally sighed.

"You know my friends, Nicole Frelinghuysen and Jenevieve Cartier, they live on either side of me. It's cool because we were sitting on Jen's porch, waiting for the ice cream truck and Ben, Cam, and Jerry came over. Suddenly, I heard the ice cream truck and I stood up from the porch and started running. The guys had reached the beginning of Jen's steps. I tripped on a bent nail and Jerry rushed up and caught me, just as the ice cream man pulled up, and do you know who drives the ice cream truck?" All the girls were in awe at Allison's story and the boys were sleeping.

"Who?" the girls asked in unison as Matt yawned loudly. "That old sweetie, Terrence Higgs, Terry was so nice he gave me the ice cream for 75% off." Allison said finally finishing.

The girls talked about boys and their crushes for a while before...

A loud snore was heard from next to Allison. She whipped around swiftly and looked at Draco. His hair had drooped into his eyes, with it being pretty long and all; Allison looked at him lovingly, and then laughed out loud.

Another loud snort was heard and of course it was Draco. The girls started laughing.

"Girls, you wanna play with Draco's hair?" Pansy asked. They grinned mischievously and Allison slipped her bag off. She took out some hair wax, gel, mousse, and a styling comb.

Allison used her powers to snip off Draco's hair until it was just long enough to spike.

"Mousse," Allison said with her hand out. Pansy handed it to Hermione, who handed it to Ginny, who handed it to Allison. Allison squirted the mousse onto her hand, and then she rubbed her hands together, and finally, rubbing it into Draco's hair. He grunted loudly, making Allison and the girls' laugh.

"Gel," Allison said again, getting the gel the same way as before. She squirted so into her hand and carefully applied it to some hair, using the styling comb to get it straight. Ally continued this process until his head was covered in spikes.

"Wax," Allison asked once more. She used the wax to hold the hair together for a pretty long time. Allison then mumbled some choice words and pointed her index finger at Draco' hair, making the style permanent.

"I think he needs a darker color for his hair for that look." Ginny suddenly commented while looking at Draco sideways. The other girls agreed and Allison said another spell making his hair a dark blond like Pansy's with light blond tips.

"Done!" Allison said cleaning her hands with a wipe, "Wow, he looks better than before."

"Now, let's wake him up!" Hermione squealed excitedly. The girls gave her weird looks; I mean it wasn't normal for Hermione Granger, star student in their year, to be squealing girlishly about something along the lines of this.

"Draco," Allison said quietly, "Draco, wake up, Draco we're here."

"Huh, what, we're here already?" He asked, waking up the other guys in the process.

"Holy baloney!" Matt said seeing Draco when he woke up.

Ron rubbed his eyes until he got his focus back. He looked around the compartment, saw Draco, and went, "Oh, shit." Ginny looked at him warningly, "... taki mushrooms." He finished.

Harry started cracking up and fell off his seat. Suddenly, the door slid open and Professor Snape stood in the doorway.

"Holy Merlin's beard, Draco what did you do to your hair?" Severus asked his student. Allison and the girls were all on the other side of Draco or not facing him at all and with them being by the door and of course, they looked at the teacher at all times, were not seen by Draco. Lucky for them, he could not see them with their mischievous smiles and grins.

"My hair, professor?" Draco asked, "May I borrow a mirror, Pansy?" Pansy dug into her bag and handed Draco a pocket mirror without even looking at him. He flipped it open and saw that his hair was all spiked and permanent.

"What the hell? Who did this?" Draco yelled. He looked around the compartment and looked suspiciously at Harry and Ron.

"We didn't do it!" Harry protested.

"We were asleep!" Ron added.

"We would've seen them anyway and we would've told you." Pansy said. The other girls nodded.

This suddenly raised Draco's suspicion of the girls. His eyes wandered the room again and landed on Allison's bulky backpack. It lay open on the floor and a bottle was sticking out of it. The girls had followed his gaze and looked shocked as his gaze fell onto Ally's bag. Allison bit the inside of her cheek trying to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Draco cautiously picked up the bottle and looked at it.

Severus began shaking his head and going, "Ally, Ally, Ally, what have you done now?"

"Ally, what did you do?" Draco bellowed. He was so enraged and red that the girls started cracking up. Ally was on the floor laughing with Hermione and Ginny and Pansy were holding onto each other for support.

"You." Ally began.

"Look." Hermione added.

"Like." Pansy said breathlessly.

"Ron!" Ginny finished.

"You're." Ginny began again.

"As red." Pansy giggled.

"As." Hermione said.

"A." Ally breathed out.

"Tomato!" They shrieked before falling back into laughter.

The girls shut up and calmed themselves down. Draco, shocked at what they did, ran his hand through his hair. He felt the spikes bend back; he smiled as he thought that his hair was going back. Then, the girls laughed loudly. Hermione was pointing at his hair.

Pansy said, "That was a great idea, Ally! Who ever knew that his hair would really be permanent?" Severus took out his wand and tried to do the counter curse, but failed.

"Sorry, Dad. I'm the only one who can take it off." Ally said. He left shaking his head.

"Well, then take it off!" Draco yelled.

"Sorry, don't wanna. Besides, you look cuter that way; girls won't be able to resist you, except for us. I mean, with Pansy going to be your sister, Ginny is already with Harry, I don't like you, and Hermione has a huge crush on my brother. Oops, did I say that?" Allison said.

"Allison Megan Snape, you better stand still cuz I'm about to KILL YOU!!" Hermione yelled.

"Ahh!" Ally screamed as she scrambled behind Matt.

"Hermione!" Matt said as he stood up to face Hermione. He grabbed her shoulders and kissed her for like, ten seconds. Hermione fell back down into her seat and stayed that way for the rest of the trip.
