The trains whistled and tooted. Harry silently pushed his trolley. Still thinking about what happened the day before. "I forgot Hedwig" Harry suddenly exclaimed. "Don't worry Hedwig and your broom are already at Hogwarts. You need to talk to Leah on the train. Don't forget your mission," Taelia said. "What are you looking at?" she snapped at a train conductor that was staring at her. He looked away.
"Here we go. Platform 9 ¾ . Well, what are you waiting for?" Taelia said nudging Harry. Harry sighed and ran through the wall. Taelia followed close behind. Harry walked onto the train and found Ron. "I saw Malfoy when I was looking for a seat. He was surrounded by girls. Neither Crabbe nor Goyle were there. Harry, I'm concerned." Ron said to Harry as he sat down.
Crabbe and Goyle came in. "Potter. Weasley. We need to talk." Crabbe said as Goyle closed the sliding door. "Draco isn't himself. We spend 5 hard school years intimidating girls. Especially Granger. Now he's lounging with them." Crabbe said. Ron and Harry's eyes widened and they raised their eyebrows. "Not that kind of lounging" Goyle exclaimed. "Are you sure he's not knobbing anybody?" Ron asked. "Eew! No! Good Lord! He hasn't attracted them like that. Geez Weasley. You're sort of a perv. Granger was sitting really close to him. REALLY close. Ginny was there. SO were these 2 new chicks. I think it was Kaily and umm... Leah. I mean between Lavendar Brown and Granger it's like a contest to see who can get closer to him. There's Parvati, I mean it's like all the girls in there." Crabbe said quickly. "Ginny Weasley was in there?!" Ron thundered. "Hermione?!" Harry almost yelled. "Leah?!" Ron and Harry said together. Goyle and Crabbe nodded. Ron ran out of the room like his butt was on fire. Harry followed his lead. "His hair is so fluffy", a girl's voice said. "I love your eyes", said another voice that sounded like Ginny's. Then they heard Hermione, "Draco are you doing anything Saturday?". Suddenly, many girl voices whined, "Hey I was going to ask him first." "I have to go," they heard Malfoy say suddenly. "Oh stay", all the girls said but like always not in unison. "Yes I do. Bathroom ya' know. When you gotta go , you gotta go," Malfoy replied. Harry and Ron stood watching all of this now. Malfoy sat like he normally does. Ginny sat at his feet staring up at him like he was the best thing ever. Hermione and Lavendar Brown were snuggled so close to him they were almost on top of him. Finally, all the other girls were leaning toward him. Except Leah and Kaily. Instead they were making something that looked like a sling shot. Unlike everyone else, they were sitting pretty far from him.
Ron grabbed Ginny's arm almost lifting her entirely off the ground. "Ow! Ron!" Ginny whined. "We are leaving this area immediately. Ginny Weasley don't roll your eyes at me!" Ron scolded. "Hermione? What are you doing here?" Harry exclaimed. "Harry has it ever occurred to you that I have a life or it just one of those improbable things?" she said, as she slipped her hand into Malfoy's. Lavendar's eyes slightly narrowed and she hugged Malfoy's arm. "I'm sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom." Malfoy said standing up. "I'll go with you" Lavendar and Hermione said at the same time still hanging onto him. "Umm... I uhh... don't think either one of you are allowed into the men's restroom." Malfoy said slowly. Lavendar and Hermione stopped smiling. "Pity." Lavendar said letting go of his arm. "I'll wait outside the door for you" Hermione said earnestly with a smile again. "I was about to say that" Lavendar loudly whispered. "I think it's best if I go alone" Malfoy said, "after all I am a big boy now." Hermione giggled. "You can let go now Hermione," Malfoy said reassuringly. Harry glared at him. "Granger. I meant Hermione Granger." Malfoy walked off but Harry pulled him close and whispered, "I'll deal with you later". Malfoy hurried off to the bathroom. "C'mon Harry". Ron said still holding onto Ginny. "You sure you want to still be here with Malfoy?" Harry asked Hermione. She nodded. Harry and Ron walked off with Ginny.
"What were you thinking?!!" Ron shrilled almost sounding like his mother. "Hanging around a Malfoy? Ginny you know better" Ron scolded Ginny. Harry sat quietly he was still thinking about Hermione. "Why did she pick Malfoy? I mean, I think I'm better looking. What am I saying?! I think I'm becoming vain. Why did Hermione pick him though? What does he have that I don't? Harry thought to himself. Then he realized something that he never had before. He actually was in love with Hermione and now he was jealous. "Hey Q-tip!" Harry heard Leah behind him yell. He turned around. Kaily and Leah were walking up to him. Harry rolled his eyes and thought to himself, not her!, Ron laughed. "Hey Q-tip and Red this is Kaily" Leah said. Kaily smiled and shook both Ron and Harry's hands. "Well we meet again eh Harry? Who's your friend?" she asked politely. "That's Ron". Harry said quietly. Kaily gave a tiny nod and the 5 of them went into the compartment. They sat silently for a bit and then Harry blurted out, "Why does everyone have a crush on Malfoy?". Kaily shrugged, "I don't know. I guess he's a bit cute." "I think it's because he has a bit of charm and he's a slytherin" Leah said coolly. "Really?" Kaily asked a bit excitedly, "I mean that's the house I want to be in." Ron quickly looked Kaily up and down, "You don't look like a slytherin." Harry stared at Kaily for a minute. Kaily shifted under his stare.
"Are you checking here out or something?" Leah asked breaking Harry's stare. "No no. I was just thinking that she didn't look-ow! Hey!" Harry said rubbing his head. While he was staring at Leah, Kaily had pelted him with a rock from the sling shot she was making. She began to laugh with Leah. "That was a good one", Leah laughed almost falling onto the floor. Ron was leaning and looking behind him out of the compartment. Kaily lifted her sling- shot and got him in the back of the head. Ron quickly turned around and Kaily hid the sling shot behind a magazine Leah and Kaily were pretending to read. "That hurt!" Ron exclaimed rubbing the back of his head. Leah looked up, "What are you talking about?". Ron became furious, "Somebody threw a rock at the back of my head. It was one of you two!". Kaily and Leah shook their heads innocently. "We have no idea what you are talking about." Leah started. "I was aiming for your neck" Kaily laughed. Ron scowled. "You do belong in Slytherin" he muttered angrily. Leah gave a fake pout. "Was that supposed to be an insult?" Kaily asked. Leah shrugged.
Hermione walked in. "Look it's Hermione" Kaily said. "Hermoine" Leah argued.
"Hermione."
"Hermoine."
"Hermione"
"Hermoine"
"It's Hermione!" Hermione almost yelled and stomped off. "Geez. What crawled up her butt?" Leah asked. Kaily began to laugh. "Do you enjoy causing pain and suffering?" Ron asked annoyed. Kaily and Leah looked at each other, looked back at Ron and started to nod quickly. Harry stopped laughing, but he was still grinning. Leah had began to laugh softly. "What now?!" Ron growled. "Your ears are turning red. I didn't notice until Kaily told me." Leah said still smiling. Her cheeks were turning pink. "Well you're turning into a tomato!" Ron almost yelled.
Malfoy strolled in. "Oh. Isn't it Potty and Weasel." He sneered. "Jump off a bridge Malfoy." Harry snapped. "OoOoO". Leah said. Then she and Kaily began to chant, "Fight, fight, fight." Ron glared at them. "What? Can't you take a joke?" Kaily said smiling. Hermione walked in. "You all better get ready. We'll be at Hogwarts in an hour." She left as quickly as she had came. Kaily whispered something to Leah. "Well we better go. I mean we can't change into our robes in here." Leah and Kaily said, they both stood up. Malfoy stepped forward to let them through. That was a move he would regret.
Right when they stepped outside they slammed the sliding door shut and somehow locked it from the outside. Malfoy spun around and started trying to pull the door back. He cursed under his breath. "They locked it!" he exclaimed. "Heck no! Kaily, Leah! Open this Door!" Ron yelled through the door. Harry could hear them laughing through the door. Worst of all, he could also hear Hermione laughing. "Hermione?!" Harry yelled through the door. "Hermione?" Ron asked. He then stood on a seat and stared out of a small window above the door. "It is Hermione!" Ron exclaimed. Malfoy whipped out his wand. "Alohamora! Alahamora! Alohamora! Damn it! I don't wanna be stuck in here with Potthead and Weaselbreath" he began to yell. Harry jumped up next to Ron. Sure enough all 3 of the girls were doubled over with laughter. Malfoy was still pulling on the door.
Then Taelia appeared. "What's going on ladies?" she asked. "Nothing" Leah said smiling sweetly. Suddenly the door opened quickly. Harry and Ron jumped down from the seat. Malfoy stood up. He was extremely mad. He walked out of there quickly. Taelia said seriously, "Now ladies. This doesn't look like 'nothing' to me. I'm letting you off with a warning. Next time you might not be so lucky." She then walked off. "I can't believe you betrayed us Hermione." Ron said in disbelief.
"What kind of wands do you have?" Harry asked. Leah and Kaily pulled out their wands at the same time. Suddenly, in Kaily's eyes were little flecks of green, and her hair became well... different. Leah's eyes got little flecks of purple in them and her hair which was already spiky-ish became spikier. "Wow." Ron said. He noticed the differences too. "My wand supposedly belonged to Merlin." Leah said casually. "Mine belonged to Morgan La Fay", Kaily said. "Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed. "Judging by the looks of you two, you use the wands full potential. Merlin and Morgan only used a bit of magic because if they did have the full potential of the wands, well, lets just say they wouldn't look like what they did. You both are able to use any wand to its full potential too." Ron's eyes were wide and he looked amazed. Kaily and Leah stood silently. Leah began to laugh. "Haha, good one Red." "I think he's serious" Kaily said staring at her wand. "Hold on. If they are so powerful then why is Voldemort after me?" Harry asked. Hermione glanced at her watch. "We only have 15 minutes . We need to get ready!".
Hermione, Leah, and Kaily went into another compartment and of course everyone changed into their robes. Then they approached the castle. The train whistled and everyone started to get off the train.
