.
The day that Ron, Jamie, and Aphrodite were to leave for Hogwarts finally arrived. They had hall their things packed into their trunks, and were sitting in the back seat of their mother's car. Their mother was driving, and their father, Harry, was sitting in the passenger seat next to Hermione.
They soon arrived at the train station with fifteen minutes to go. Ron stumbled as he opened the car door and stepped outside; Harry had woken him and his sisters up a couple hours after the crack of dawn. Jamie and Aphrodite were still sleepy, but Hermione sprayed water on them from her wand to wake them up, much to their indignation.
"Ok, I'll go get the trolleys, you four stay here," said Harry.
"Harry, maybe I should come with you..."
"No Hermione, I don't want our children left alone. You know why."
Hermione nodded.
"Dad, we aren't children," said Aphrodite. "We're teenagers." But Harry didn't hear her say this, as he had already left to get the trolleys.
"Mum, why can't we be left alone?" Jamie asked.
"Because..." Hermione paused.
"Because you don't want us to get captured by the remaining Death Eaters, is that right?" said Ron. Hermione nodded. "Mum, no Death Eater is going to get us. You worry too much."
"No, she doesn't!" said Aphrodite.
"Yes, she does!" said Ron.
"Stop arguing!" said Jamie.
Ron gave his sister a dirty look, and fell silent. He remained that way until Harry came back with three trolley, into which Ron, Jamie, and Aphrodite put their school trunks.
"Why are they so quiet?" Harry asked Hermione a lowered voice as they crossed the street to King's Cross.
"Ron and Aphrodite were arguing," said Hermione.
"And so you told them to be quiet? You're really starting to remind me of Mrs. Weasley. That's a good thing!" Harry added quickly, as Hermione playfully shoved him off the sidewalk.
"Actually, it was Jamie who told them to be quiet."
Harry didn't answer back.
When they had got to the station, and went through the barrier, Harry helped his children, who were no longer children, but teenagers, get their trunks onto the train. Jamie and Aphrodite had found a compartment with a couple of their friends, so that's where Harry put their trunks. Jamie's and Aphrodite's friends waved to Harry, who was very popular, even among the younger generation, for defeating Voldemort.
"Hi, Mr. Potter," said Jamie's and Aphrodite's friends.
"Hello, Emily and Jason." Harry smiled.
"You doing all right, Mr. Potter?" said Jason.
"Yes, fine, thank you. And yourselves?" Harry replied.
"Pretty good," said Emily.
Harry waved good bye to Jason, Emily, and his two daughters, and went to help his son, Ron, find a compartment in which to put his trunk. He found an empty one near the end of the train, and it was this compartment into which he put his son's trunk.
"Come on, Ron, let's get off this train so you can say good bye to your mother."
"But I already said good bye to her!"
"Then I suppose," said Harry, with a slight grin, "that you don't want to talk to your friend, Kelsey. She looks a little lonely."
Ron looked out the compartment window, and saw Kelsey. She did indeed look a bit lonely. Her mother, Ginny, was talking to Hermione. Ron saw Kelsey look around, as if waiting for him. He dashed out of the train, with Harry following, chuckling to himself.
"Hello Kels," said Ron joyfully.
"Hey, Ron, what's up?" said Kelsey. "Um...could you help me get my trunk onto the train? It's a little heavy."
"I'll do it for you," said Harry, and he magically lifted Kelsey's trunk and put it on the train. When he got back, the train whistle blew.
Hermione, Harry, and Ginny said good bye to Ron and Kelsey. Hermione and Ginny hugged their kids, and when the train whistle blew, they gave them one last hug.
Kelsey and Ron got into their compartment, and said one last good bye to their parents. Finally, the train engine started, and began to move. Ron and Kelsey waved to their parents until they were out of site, and then sat down.
.
Ron stared out the window at the passing scenery: hills, trees dotted here or there, and at the towns that the Hogwarts Express went by.
The lady with the food cart had already passed by a few hours before, and as much as Ron had gotten to eat (which was quite a bit), he was still hungry. He did have a few Chocolate Frogs left, but he wanted to save those for later.
Ron took his round glasses off, and cleaned them with a wave of his wand, for the lenses had been getting quite dirty. He put them back on, and looked around the compartment. It was empty except for himself and his best friend, Kelsey, who was sitting across from him. She was reading a book about the history of Hogwarts. Ron smiled to himself, for Kelsey reminded him of his mother sometimes. His mother almost always had her nose stuck in a book.
Kelsey seemed to know that Ron was staring at her. She put down her book, and crossed her arms, and looked him straight in the eyes.
"And what, precisely, are you looking at?" she said with a small smile playing around her lips. Those lips. How Ron longed to kiss them, but he knew he mustn't.
"You. I'm looking at you," Ron replied.
"And why, may I ask?"
"Because you're beautiful." Why did he just say that? Why? Did he want Kelsey to think he had fallen in love with her? No. Although, he already had.
Kelsey blushed and looked down at her feet. "No, I'm not."
"You are, though! You're the most beautiful girl that I know." Ron got up from his seat, and sat down next to Kelsey.
"You really think so?" she said, looking at him.
"Of course. I wouldn't say so if I thought otherwise."
Ron took his hand, and ran his fingers through Kelsey's hair, stopping his hand when it was right below her ear. He leaned forward, saw Kelsey's eyes widen in surprise, saw them close. He closed his eyes, and was just leaning in to kiss her when.... The door burst open. He immediatley pulled away, and he and Kelsey looked to see who the intruder was.
It was Ron's and Kelsey's utmost enemy at Hogwarts. A Slytherin, by the name of Corsair Malfoy, the son of Pansy and Draco Malfoy. He was by himself, which was unusual, as he usually had his big, beefy friend tagging along with him, Theodore Goyle.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" said Ron in his nastiest voice. "Why isn't you little friend with you? Sorry- I mean BIG friend?"
"Watch your mouth, Potter, or you'll regret it."
"Oh really? And what, exactly, will you do? Point your wand at us?" Ron took pleasure in this attitude, which he only reserved for people he didn't like, and Malfoy was no exception.
"Go away, Malfoy," said Kelsey, shooting him a look of such disgust that he actually did back away.
Ron got up from his seat, and started towards Malfoy, who ran back to his own compartment. Ron closed the compartment door, and sat down across from Kelsey.
"Do you know, I think he might actually be afraid of us," said Ron.
"At least when he's not with his big, old friend."
Ron laughed.
Soon enough, the Hogwarts Express began to slow down, and everyone got dressed in their school robes. When the train stopped, Ron and Kelsey got off the train, and the first thing they heard among the chattering students was Hagrid's voice saying "Firs years over here! Firs years this way!"
Ron and Kelsey headed over to him, even though they weren't first years, to say hi. Hagrid had been a good friend of Harry's and Hermione's when they were in school, and was now also a good friend of Ron's and Kelsey's.
"Hello, there Ron!" said Hagrid, waving cheerily. "How're your parents, Harry and Hermione?"
"They're doing fine. They wanted me to say hi to you for them,"said Ron.
"Well, next time you're in contact with them, tell em I said hi, will you?"
"Yeah, I'll do that," said Ron.
"So how've you two been?" said Hagrid, as a couple more first years walked up to him.
"We've been pretty good," said Ron.
"Yeah-" Kelsey checked her watch, and looked at the carriages. "Ron, come on, or the carriages will leave without us! Bye Hagrid!"
"Yeah, bye!" Ron said.
"Bye, you two," said Hagrid, as Ron and Kelsey raced to the carriages. They got inside the last one, which was empty except for themselves, like the train compartment had been. It got off to a fast start in order to catch up with the other carriages, because Ron and Kelsey had, off course, been the last to get onto a carriage.
Another thing about the carriages: they were apparently driven by some invisible force, but Ron and Kelsey, and a few other students, knew better. The carriages were driven by a creature called a Thestral. Harry had told Ron before Ron's first year that one could only see the Thestrals once they had seen someone die. Neither Ron nor Kelsey had seen someone die, and so could not see the Thestrals.
The carriage Ron and Kelsey were in finally slowed down, and then stopped, in front of the castle. There were still a few carriages with people getting out of them, and Ron and Kelsey joined the last small crowd of people going into the Great Hall.
"I'm hungry," said Ron when he and Kelsey had sat down at the Gryffindor table. "Wish the sorting would hurry up."
"You won't have long to wait," said Kelsey. She nodded towards Professor Lupin, who was head of Gryffindor House. He was just walking past the Gryffindor table with the three-legged stool and sorting hat.
"Hi Professor Lupin!" said Ron.
"Hello, Ron. I hope Harry and Hermione are doing all right?"
"My parents are fine," said Ron. He opened his mouth to say something more, but Dumbledore cleared his throat, and gestured for Lupin to come and put the stool down.
Ron and Kelsey waved to Lupin, who went up to the staff table, and in front of it, placed the stool and sorting hat. After he had done that, he opened a side door, and in came the scared-looking first years. Lupin had them all line up, and then he got out a scroll of parchment, and started reading off the names of those who were to be sorted.
"Farris, Yolanda!"
A girl with blonde hair and brown eyes stepped forward, sat on the stool, and Lupin placed the sorting hat on her head.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat.
Yolanda took the hat off her head, and sat down at the Hufflepuff table.
"Parrish, Jasmine!"
A scared looking girl with brown hair and blue eyes stepped forward.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Parrish, Christina!"
A girl who was identical to Jasmine stepped forward, and the hat also declared her a Gryffindor. She sat down next to her sister, and looked up at the ceiling curiously.
As Lupin called more students forward, and as they got sorted, Ron was very anxious for the sorting to finish. Finally, the sorting did finish with Grimbold, David getting sorted into Slytherin. The food appeared on the tables, and everyone began eating, Ron, with almost indecent enthusiasm. Kelsey watched him eat in disgust for a few seconds, then started on her own food.
When everyone was done eating, and the food had been cleared from the tables, Dumbledore stood up, obviously intending to make an announcement. Kelsey leaned her head on Ron's shoulder. Ron was a little surprised; Kelsey had never done anything like this before, but he put his hand on Kelsey's hair, and rested it there for a second before taking it off.
"I have just one announcement to make before you all go to bed," said Dumbledore. "As you all know, Voldemort was defeated sixteen years ago. Some of his followers were also found, and persecuted. However..." Dumbledore cleared his throat. "However, there are still some of his Death Eaters who are still on the loose, so I advise you all to be very careful when you are not inside this castle. That is all," finished Dumbledore. "You may go."
.
"Good night, Kels," said Ron once he and Kelsey and the rest of Gryffindor house had entered the common room.
"Yeah, night," Kelsey smiled, and went up the stairs to the girls' dormitories.
"I think she likes you," said Greg Lustave, a fifth year, and also a friend of Ron's.
"Yeah, Ron," said another fifth year, by the name of Westley Davis. "I reckon she does."
"Shut up, you two," said Ron. "She doesn't like me like that." But he did think that Kelsey liked him. And he did like her, a little. But he wasn't going to tell his friends this. Kelsey was, after all, just a friend. But on the train... he and Kelsey had almost kissed. Ron gave his head a shake to rid his mid of these thoughts.
"And how exactly can you be so sure about that, my friend?" said Westley. "I mean, I did see her put her head on your shoulder, and I did see you pat her head once..."
Greg and Westley were smirking at Ron.
Deciding to ignore his friends, he turned to go up the stair case to the boys' dormitory. "Come on," he said. "Lets get up to the room before Derrick and Michael ruin the place."
Michael Gellar and Derrick Green were, of course, the two other fifth year boys of Gryffindor. Luckily the fifth year dorm wasn't ruined; Derrick and Michael were already asleep.
"Weird, for them," muttered Greg.
"Maybe they're waiting to attack us when we go to sleep," said Westley. "Should we poke them?"
"No, don't," said Ron, getting into his pyjamas. "And I don't think they would attack us yet. Kelsey and I heard them letting off all their energy on the train today- they were making a huge racket. Bangs going off every now and then..."
"Maybe they were practicing duelling," said Westley. "Ah well. G'night, Ron, Greg."
Ron said good night, and took off his glassed and put them on his bedside table. He closed the curtains of his four-poster bed, and fell asleep.
