Come find me

Chapter 10

Author: egg-n-head

Summary: Harry is in a state of depression. Will a potion gone wrong and a whole new adventure bring him back to be the fun loving self he once was?

Mrs Weasley was up early knocking on their doors continuously reminding them that if they didn't get ready they'd miss the train. Although, She didn't have to say this as they were already up and dressed and ready for school hours ago. They were all trying to contain their growing excitement for the train ride to hog warts. It was a chance to prove Malfoy and all bullies wrong.

Ron decided that a big bit of white lies was needed on his part for his explanation of the missing Harry.

"Hi mum!" he said cheerfully.

"Hello dear…pause…where's Harry?" asked Mrs Weasley suspiciously.

"Oh didn't he tell you?!" exclaimed Ron in a what would be surprised voice. "He was going to go visit scarlett this morning. You know kiss kiss I'll miss you so much I wish we were together always goodbye I hope I see you a-"

"I get the point Ron!" said Mrs Weasley shutting up her son with the evil eye she did not like this idea of Harry gallivanting of with some girl she had never met. "Well he better be here when we're ready to go"

"Well that's another thing…Scarlett and her family were going to drop him off at the train station and he asked us to take his things. He is really distraught about going away and not ever see-"

"I get it Ron! Well I wish he had told me" Mrs Weasley huffed. "but if its for young love I'll do it and for your life Ronald I do hope you are not lying to me" and with that she stalked off into the kitchen.

Ron let out a sigh of relief and then followed Mrs Weasley into the kitchen.

They ate the wonderful breakfast Mrs Weasley had cooked up, which contained pancakes (flapjacks, pikelets, crepes – whatever you call them) and French toast with scrambled eggs. Harry was under the table and Ginny was passing food down to him like you would a dog under the table. Harry wasn't too fond of this idea but he was hungry. Mrs Weasley also packed their carry bags with sandwiches and biscuits and 2 sickles each for lollies.

At 10:15 Harry and Hermione walked down to the nearest Payphone and called a taxi to pick them up on the main road. They had both decided that the taxi driver would find it a bit hard to accept the unusual shape and levelling of the weasley's house.

At 10:30 they were all waiting on the side of the main road looking up and down for the taxi. When it came it was a mini bus taxi as Hermione had informed the company that they had A LOT of luggage. Just before the driver shut the boot Harry jumped in and sat on top of the trunks. The rest then filed in with only a quick queer glance at Hedwig and Pig by the taxi driver and then they were off.

The group arrived at the train station with 15 minutes to spare and were glad that they would be able to pick a good carriage out of hearing range from many others. With long goodbyes and many hugs they said goodbye to a suspicious Mr and Mrs Weasley. Mrs Weasley kept complaining of wanting to see Harry before they went off to school but with a lot of persuasion by Hermione and Ginny that he would be alright they apparated back home.

They then boarded the train and closed their compartment door to block out prying eyes.

"Alright…Ron give me the box, I'll enlarge it now while no-ones around" ordered Hermione taking charge in a commando sort of way.

Ron opened his trunk and moved things around and after awhile of searching he pulled out the most valuable possession the group had ever owned. He placed it in the middle of the floor of the compartment.

Glancing around suspiciously Hermione then waved her wand and with a few short tugs upwards the box began to grow larger and larger until hermione got it the right height.

Ginny then opened the box and out piled many bottles and smaller boxes of women's cosmetics and five large foldout instruction scrolls.

Their headings read: 'Sick and tired of fixing your hair and make-up every morning? This spell will make you look beautiful and stay beautiful for 5 whole weeks' … 'make your spells last longer with absolutely no counter spell' … 'find your voice not the way you want it? Try our new spell to change your voice into sexy or sweet that will make the boys go wild' … 'need a male friend? Try this new invention to make the boys go wild around you' … 'Tired of your manly ways? Try this spell to make you more feminine and stylish'

There were also bags of shopping with pink dresses, white blouses and multi-coloured skirts. There were also lacy bras and underwear in another bag. Many handbags also piled out of the box as well as high heeled shoes and flip-flops.

The group started to arrange the things around their compartment also keeping an ear out for the sound of Malfoy and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle.

Harry and Ron were also a bit embarrassed with all the products Hermione was handing to them especially when it came down to the products made by Carefree and Libra. They may have been boys but they weren't that dim to the world.

While the others kept sorting Hermione opened her trunk and pulled out a small bag from the corner of her trunk. She placed that on the seat beside her and enlarged it as she had done with the box.

As the bag had stopped growing Hermione started to empty the contents. It contained 7 large books all on loan from the Hogsmeade Library. She had ordered them over Owl Post and they were to be returned on her next visit. Well these particular books were of the subjects Charms, Transfiguration and even one on magical animals.

Hermione opened the books to the page were she had placed bookmarks on the spells she was to use. They included: 'summoning fairies' … 'the wizard version of a photocopier and how to summon it' and so on.

Without them noticing the train had already started moving and they were flying through country-sides. By the time they had finished organising everything and the packaging was charmed away their crowded compartment was looking very…pink.

They had decided not to do the prank until 1:00 after the trolley lady came so that they were pretty sure they wouldn't be disturbed. So they sat there staring at the clock on the wall watching the minutes go by as they waited in icy silence for the time to come…

ha ha! Nearly finished. I know I said that this would be the last chapter this chapter but I didn't want to make it too long and I didn't want EVERYTHING to come out in a long chapter so I am making you wait.

EVIL? I think so too. Heehee. Sorry but it had to be done. Plus I thought this was a very good story and I wanted more reviews. I'm selfish and I know it. So tell some people about my story if you like it if you don't then that's cool I'm still posting the ending but it might not be as good as it could've been sigh.

Nah I will make it the best I can. If you think you know what's going to happen in the next chapter you only know the half of it. It is going to get worst. Thanks to my sister for helping me come up with most of the ideas for it.

I swear that they are my own and if someone has done something like it there is no reason to flame me because I probably haven't read your story and we probably have a different story line so there will be no reason to get angry not that you should.

Wow this is a long authors note…sorry but before I end this I'd like to give a BIG HUMONGOUS thankyou to auntarctic who has stuck with me this WHOLE time. You have got to go read her stories they are REALLY good. Plus she's a devoted author and unlike me who sometimes forgets to update she's always keeping her story going which is GREAT. So THANKYOU!

And THANKYOU to all my other reviewers they make me sooooo happy…YAYAYAY
