I think that WAS the longest chapter yet... Anywho, onto my review. sniff sniff I would have waited for the rest of the regulars, but honestly I couldn't wait! I mean, schools coming up soon, and then I will be lucky to have 1 chapter out per month. So just giving you a little to live off of until then. Also, I invited a character called Annie cause I felt like it, it all fits in loonngg while, ok?

Eyes of Forest: You'll have to see what happens. You seem to be coming down with a cold, you might want to get that checked out.

There was a deafening BANG and a sudden, blinding light. A second later, a gigantic pair of wheels and headlights had screeched to a halt right in front of Marie. She saw when she raised her head that they belonged to a triple decker, violently purple bus. Gold lettering over the windscreen spelled The Knight Bus.

Then a conductor in a purple uniform ambled out of the bus and spoke loudly to the night.
Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Annie Prang, and I will be your conductor this evening. That's the driver and my husband, Ernie Prang. The warm looking, gray haired witch paused, with the pained expression of someone trying to remember something. Ernie, an elderly wizard wearing very thick glasses, mumbled,
You forgot to tell her what it costs, An
Oh, yes. Eleven Sickles, but for thirteen you get hot chocolate and for fifteen you get a hot water bottle and a toothbrush with your choice of colour. Mr.Goyle came barreling out of the house, and he spotted Marie.
Just the ride! said Marie jumped on the bus and gave Annie eleven Sickles. There were no seats, just six brass bedsteads stood by the curtained windows. Candle were burning in brackets beside each bed, illuminating the wood paneled walls. Annie put Marie's things under a bed.
I didn't catch your name, dear said Annie sweetly.
Marie Goyle' replied Marie with a smile. She glance nervously out the window to find her father just feet away from the bus. Annie noticed and she gave a thumbs up to Ernie.

Another tremendous BANG and Mr.Goyle was just a little speck on the horizon in a matter of seconds.

Where are you going to, Marie? asked Annie kindly. Marie paused. Where would she go?
The Burrow! replied Marie enthusiastically. Annie looked puzzled. "It's a big house, and has this sign that says-" "The Burrow!" Ernie announced, screeching to a stop. Marie was thrown from her bed as a new BANG sounded. Marie thanked the kind old couple and got off the bus with her luggage.

It was still raining hard outside, as Marie knocked on the door. Her greeting from the entire Weasley family was almost as warm as the house was. As Marie was laying on her cot in Ginny's room, she realized that Hogwarts started soon. She rolled onto her side and fell asleep with a smile to the sound of Ginny's steady breathing.
