Sorry it took so long to write this, I had thanksgiving, and a few
other things take up my time, so I didn't get to get around to this.
Chapter 3- Train of Dreams
Footsteps, that is all Harry could hear in the infinite blackness. Harry kept walking forward, looking for something, anything that could be in this darkness with him; making these footsteps. He suddenly found himself in the halls of Hogwarts, he looked around slowly and he noticed something. None of the pictures had people in them anymore, the halls where completely empty of anything that could even be considered close to a person.
"Is anyone here?!" yelled Harry. The only thing Harry got in a response was his own echo. Harry was starting to worry; all this did not feel right at all. "It must be a dream; yes that is it, a dream." Harry mumbled to himself.
"Yes Harry Potter, you are dreaming." Came a feminine voice that Harry did not recognize from behind him.
Harry quickly turned to see a woman about his age, looking at him with a smirk on her face. She wore flowing black pants with red snakes along the sides, a black halter top with the words "I leave bite marks" in blood red on the front, and she had a necklace with a silver snake that had skeleton like wings. Her long black hair with green highlights flowed down her back, her blue with swirls of black eyes examined Harry with a cold calculating gaze. Suddenly the eyes of the snake on her necklace flashed a green color for only a second.
"Who are you?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Does it really matter Potter?" She responded, "I don't think you really need to know, after all, does it seem important right now?"
"Yes, it does" Harry retorted.
"Call me a dream, for that is all I am right now to you. Now, can we get to the task at hand?" The girl smirked.
"And what would that be?" Harry spoke a little annoyed.
"Why making sure you get out of this little nightmare alive. After all I do want to meet you in real life one day. I think it would be rather interesting, don't you think so?" The young woman smirked slowly.
"How can a dream kill me?" Harry thought back, he remember that he had dreams that where very dangerous, but none of them where able to kill him. *Dreams are dreams are they not?* Harry thought to himself.
"Very easily I am afraid; they can trap you in their web for eternity and cause you to die very slowly. It is not pretty I am afraid, but that's the way things are sometimes." Her grin on that last sentence scared Harry. He wondered what this girl really wanted, and what she would do to get it. "Shall we get going? You have places to go, things to see after all." She looked at her watch and frowned, "It looks like our time is up, and you have to wake up now. You don't want to miss your train now do you?"
Harry was about to ask her how she knew that, but a sudden flash of light quickly engulfed him and the strange young woman. Harry shot up out of his bed and found himself in his room at the inn. *What was that?* Harry thought to himself. Harry's train of thought was interrupted by Ron's pounding on the door.
"Harry! Get up! It is time to go to the train! Get dressed and meet us down at the front of the inn! Hurry up!" Ron yelled threw the door. Harry gathered his things, being careful not to disturb the cloaked man.
"Locamotor trunk." The trunk slowly lifted off the ground and proceeded to float behind Harry. Harry walked down the stairs and out the front door, where he saw the Weasleys, and the Grangers standing there waiting for Harry. "Sorry it took so long."
"Well, come on everyone. We have to hurry, we have a train to catch you know." Mrs. Weasley stated rather quickly. The group speedily followed Mrs. Weasley to the series of cars that waited to take them to Platform 9 and ¾. While riding in the car he got to ask Mrs. Weasley how they had gotten these cars. "Well, Harry dear, they are from the order. I guess they want to keep protecting you, especially since you-know-who is back." Mrs. Weasley shook at that final sentence. Harry knew that people where deathly afraid of Voldemort and for good reason. He was the most deadly wizard ever, but luckily not the most powerful.
The cars slowly came to a stop and the doors opened. Harry looked out to see the train station, they way it usually was, busy as ever. Harry stepped out of the car and followed everyone to the barrier. The group quickly went threw and boarded the train as fast as they could. The Weasley boys and girls hugged their parents' goodbye and waved to them as the train pulled away.
Harry was traveling down threw the cars to find a place to sit when he saw someone very familiar. Cho was sitting in a car with someone else, but he just couldn't see them yet. Harry knocked on the door and walked in slowly. "Hello Cho." Harry spoke quietly.
Cho turned towards Harry and smiled, "Hello Harry how was your summer?"
"Good and yours?" Harry smiled nervously
"It was good; did you get my, letter?" Cho said carefully.
Harry was quiet for a min, "Yes I did."
Cho looked very uncomfortable for a while. The car was very quiet for a short while.
"Why don't you two just admit to each other, face to face, that you like each other?" spoke up a voice that sounded very familiar. Harry looked around Cho and his jaw dropped. Sitting next to Cho was the young woman from the dream just had the night before. Cho looked at the young woman in surprise. "It is what you two should do; now if you will excuse me, I must be going." With that, the young woman got up and walked out of the room on the train.
"Who was that Cho?" Harry asked still in shock.
"Oh, that is a transfer student from the US. She said her name is Rebecca Slythe. Anyway, she is right." Cho stood up and walked over to Harry. Harry looked around nervously. "Harry I like you, a lot." She moved up next to Harry, and then looked him in the eye. Harry was unsure on what he should do, and then he just closed his eyes and kissed Cho. Harry liked the feeling, but he pulled away quickly.
"Cho, I am sorry. I didn't mean to." Harry stammered.
"Harry, its okay. It felt good." Cho smiled. Just then the door busted open, and standing in it was Ron, Hermione, and Ginny; all of them where smiling like Christmas had come early. Harry and Cho blushed a deep red color which caused everyone to burst out laughing. Everyone sat down and began talking about the classes they were about to take, their OWLs and how well they did on them.
Suddenly Ginny screamed as a figure in a black cloak appeared at the door. "It's a dementor!" Harry quickly pulled out his wand as did Ron and Hermione. The door slowly opened and Harry opened his mouth to cast the Patronus spell.
Suddenly the words "I would put down those wands if I was you." Appeared in the air in the middle of the room, and slowly dissipated away. Harry nodded and lowered his wand, Ron and Hermione did this as well when they saw Harry do it.
Harry stood up, "This is Draygon, he shared a room with me at the inn. He doesn't talk at all, and he doesn't like others to see him. That is why he is covered in that black cloak." Ron nodded, and slowly started to smile. Hermione grinned a little but still seemed nervous, Cho just stood behind Harry, and Ginny still sat in her seat shaking a little. "Anyway we will be getting to the school soon, so we better get ready." Harry said to break the silence. Everyone agreed and went to their separate cars to change.
The train slowly came to a stop and the students piled out of the train, to begin their next year at Hogwarts. Some thought that this year was going to be a very special year, while others just thought it was going to be another year. Soon fate will show them who was right on their initial guess.
