Sitting in their compartment on the train Will Beagle and his best mate, Xander Malfoy were discussing the Quidditch match between Brutus and Desdrilla that had taken place the previous day. Xander had ended up with a bloody nose, but he had still managed to catch the snitch, securing Brutus' win.
"It was still amazing," Will said with a mouth full of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, "You should have seen the look on Feeney's face when held the snitch up above your head like that. I thought she was going to cry."
Both boys laughed as Xander bit the head off of his chocolate frog. Looking into the package, he found the card.
"Who is it?" Will asked, wanting to know as they were both collecting the cards.
"It's Professor Potter." Xander said with glee. Harry's card had been so popular and sought after, that they had become scare rather quickly. Even Harry didn't have one of his own cards.
"Read it Xander, what's it say about him?" asked Will excitedly.
"Harry James Potter, considered by many to be one of the most powerful wizards of modern times, along with his mentor, Albus Dumbledore. He is best known for his defeat of the dark wizard, Voldemort, at the age of a year old, earning him the title 'the boy who lived.' Then later won the coveted Tri-Wizard Tournament at the age of fourteen, later heralded the return of Voldemort to life and was instrument in his final defeat by the time he graduated Hogwarts. Also Harry Potter hold two Orders of Merlin, one for finding a way to destroy Dementors who had joined Voldemort's campaign of terror and the second for his ultimate defeat. Currently Harry Potter is known as 'the man who destroyed evil.'"
"Whoa." they both said together impressed.
Just then the door to their compartment opened and in walked Daisy Gamble and Waverly Su, two of the first year girls.
"Hey guys." Daisy called, "What's going on? Still talking about Quidditch?"
"Yes." they said together, which Daisy smiled at.
"What's that in your hand Xander?" Waverly asked.
"Chocolate frog card of Professor Potter." said Will excitedly, "They're really rare."
"Can I see?" Waverly asked.
Xander looked like he didn't want to be parted from the card, but Will gave him a look that said, 'Do it.'
The girls took the card gingerly and read it. They were both as impressed by it as the boys had been.
"Wow!" Daisy said and Waverly nodded her head in agreement.
"I can't believe you've gotten one, you could sell it and make a lot of money."
"No way, it's going to be a part of my collection."
"Well, you better show it to Professor Potter before you hide it away from the world." Waverly said.
"Why?" the other three asked not understanding.
"Well I overheard him talking to Toby Floyd, the nerdy third year, that he had never seen his own card. Toby collects them also and he wanted to see Professor Potter's card, figuring he had one, but he doesn't." Waverly explained to them.
"We've got to let him see the card then." said Will.
"Okay, when we get back, help me remember it."

When the train pulled into platform 6 7/8 at King's Cross Station, the children disembarked and found their parents, who were picking them up for the holiday.
Will and Xander quickly found Mrs. Beagle, who was standing near the concealed entrance to the platform.
"Will" she called out to her son.
"Mum" he called back to her and the two boys went over to her.
"Hello Xander, who are you today."
"I'm fine ma'am, thank you." he replied politely.
They exchanged pleasantries for a few more minutes before Xander spotted his half brother and went to join them.
"I hope he has a good trip." Will said to his mother.
"Me too, Will, me too." she replied
Will and his mother stood there and watched them to make sure Xander might not need to come home with them anyway. Then they saw the most peculiar thing in the world, Xander's began to sniff him as if he smelled of something. The one place he sniffed the most of Xander's back, in the same spot where Professor Potter had patted him just before they got on the train to come home.
"He couldn't smell that could he?" asked Will.
"Couldn't smell what honey?"
"Professor Potter patted us both on the back, right where Xander's brother is sniffing him. You don't think he can smell him on Xander, do you?"
"I haven't a clue."
They both watched as Draco and Blaise escorted Xander out of the train station and into a waiting car, before they went to their own car and went home.
* * * * *
When Will and Mrs. Beagle arrived at home, they found a familiar brown owl waiting for them.
"Merlin" said Will, "I thought you were going to stay at school and wait for me to return."
"Apparently not." Charlotte said with a smile and went into the house.
"Yeah, this is going to be a great holiday."
