"Someone try and stop that train!" James shouted as he and Lily tried to
lift Reggie out of her fix.
Sirius grabbed Liza and they started to run towards the train waving their arms around thinking they probably looked like lunatics, which they did.
The conductor-man saw them.
"Eh, Liza, is that yer friends right thurr?" Conductor-man asked.
"Yeah! Stop the train!."
"What are those kids doing on the track up thurr, I can't stop that fast!"
"It looks like he's stuck... Oh no, Reggie!" Remus said.
Liza came closer to the large train and watched herself as Remus climbed out of the train.
"Remus!" She hugged him, "Reggie is stuck, we have to stop this train!"
"I know, but the conductor can't stop it that fast! It's too big!"
"Well, what a way to die! It's almost as bad as falling through a veil!" Sirius said. (starts to cry all chapters from twenty three on are after the OotP bombshell see the foreshadowing?)
"She's not going to die... and no one ever dies by falling through a frickin' veil!" Liza snapped.
"We have to help her!"
"Let's go!"
A few minutes later, they could get Reggie out, so they sat on the ground next to her, still try to tug her out or dig her out but mostly just being moral support and saying that if she was going to die, then at least she's with her friends and she's happy. She screamed at them because she wasn't happy and she didn't want her friends to watch her die.
As the train, going really slowly now, was nearing and was ten feet away, they were all screaming. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
The train kept coming... "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...."
Still coming. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."still going... "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
Psssshhhhht The train came to a stop right before it hit them, maybe an inch to spare.
Reggie fainted.
Lily looked at Remus, "Remus, what the hell are you wearing?"
Remus looked down at his clothes. "Hm, I didn't notice I was in a dress, feels kinda nice..."
"Not just a dress, it looks like a costume!"
The conductor-guy got off the train and came over to them, "Are you kids a'right?"
"Yeah, we're fine. Why am I in a dress, conductor-man?" Remus asked.
"Oh, eh, this train's an attraction fer the grand canyon. But, you know, it's not really tourist season anymore and the track goes all the way to Florida, so we were taking it thurr ya see... and the costumes are what the passengers get to wear when they come on... but it's kinda hard to explain." He looked like he was thinking for a second. "It's kind of like that game Clue, but the passengers get to get in the game and dress up and act suspicious like."
"Uh, ok, don't know what you are talking about." Liza said.
"Well, Liza told me ya'all's van broke down, ya'll want a ride and see what I'm talkin' 'bout?" Conductor-man said.
"Did he say Florida?" Harry poked James in the back. "Say yes."
"Could you?" James said.
"Least I could do fer someone I just almost ran over."
"Great."
