Chapter 4- Hogwarts Express

(A/N: This chapter takes place on the morning of leaving for Hogwarts.)

"Abby get up!"

"No."

"Come on! Today's the day we leave. Its 9:45 right now, we have to leave in 45 minutes."

Out of the blue Abby said up right. "Good now your up."

"Well I'm just so excited. Do you remember that red headed guy... what was his name? Er..." Abby just couldn't think of that attractive guys name.

"Ron?" tried Chelsea.

"That's it. He was so cute, I'm hoping I'll get to sit with him on the train." Abby couldn't wait; she was hoping he would take a seat next to her.

"Well, that's great and all but your forgetting that we're not taking the train we're taking the knight bus so we can get there early."

"Oh yeah that's right, I keep forgetting about that."

"Well...whatever, we have to leave in 45 minutes and that includes breakfast, packing, and getting ready."

Abby swiftly ran out of the room and took a shower. In about 15 minutes she was finally out and she ran straight to her trunk and put on a light blue skirt on that went down to the middle of her thighs, a pink shirt that said 'Abercrombie' in light blue and black flip flops. As she finished dressing she ran to go do her hair. As soon as Abby's dressing was finished, she scurried to breakfast for the last five minutes.

Chelsea starred at Abby as she was making a pig out of herself by eating the sausage as if it was her last day; she had never seen Abby act this way. Abby had always been the proper one who did everything right. She watched Abby carefully go up the stairs to their room to start and finish packing her bag.

Since Abby had just finished packing she took her trunk downstairs to be boarded on the knight bus. The knight bus was a bus that carried around witches and wizards to the places they needed to get too. This was what Abby had learned so far, at least. Their whole class would be using the knight bus and they each had to pay their own fee. As 10:30 arrived the exchange students started leaving for Hogwarts. Chelsea was having to much fun chatting with Clayton and Will Brooks that she forgot about Abby still inside.

Abby ran outside 15 minutes after 10:30 to find Mrs. Lafarge standing there with her arms crossed and her smile upside down. Abby gave her a small 'oops' grin and that made Mrs. Lafarge even madder.

"Where have you been? We were halfway there when I realized you weren't there. The bus has other big appointments so we couldn't turn back then and they couldn't come back to get you when they were finished, now you have to take the Hogwarts Express with kids you don't know and you get a weeks worth of detention from me!" whispered a soft but fuming Mrs. Elaine Lafarge.

"What! Why? I didn't do anything."

"Its because you cant apparate and it makes my job a helluva lot harder that way." Then with that Lafarge pointed to the door and their Abby was met with a 1978 Chevrolet Nova. It was a wild looking car with its box shape and rusty smell.

As Abby got in she regretted it this car smelled like rotten milk with old cheese added to the milk. Then Mrs. Lafarge got in the car and gave a big inhale and smiled.

"I got this baby a couple weeks ago I spruced it up and its almost as good as new. I just need to get the um-peach smell out of here."

Oh that's what she thinks this smell is. It smelled more like a dead skunk that had died because of the smell in the car.

As Abby got closer and closer to Kings Cross station she became more anxious. At last when she got her first full view of the station she actually tried to stand up in the car, only when Mrs. Lafarge had pushed her back into her seat with one hand while driving with the other did Abby realize what she was doing; But finally at last the car had stopped releasing Abby from her hot seat.

When Mrs. Lafarge walked Abby into the location at last she took her to what looked like an ordinary barrier that had 9 and 10 written on either side of it. Abby just stood there and stared at the plain wall. Mrs. Lafarge suddenly noticed that Abby wasn't going anywhere.

"Well..." questioned the principal.

"Well, what? You never told me how to get on?"

"Oh that right, all you have to do is walk right into the barrier between the numbers 9 and 10, you should do it at a bit of a rate if your uneasy."

"Er, ok." And with that Abby quickly walked into the divider and it was like she was taken to a new world, that she had never experienced. There was a whole new station right in front of her own eyes, there was only one train though, and it was the Hogwarts Express. An instant later Mrs. Lafarge came through from the other side and walked directly to the astonished teenager.

"This is the Hogwarts Express. It's 10:53 you leave in 7 minutes. I must go though so I'll just help you settle in and then I'll be off." She sounded very hurried, as though she was going to miss something important.

"That would be great, I have no idea what to do."

"This way." And with that she led Abby onto the Train, just in time before departure.

Mrs. Lafarge had showed Abby onto the train but had not taken her anywhere so Abby was left to roam the train freely. She looked every which way to find a compartment but each time she looked the compartment was full. Finally she found one that had nobody in it but a very lost looking boy.

"Hey, do you mind if I share this compartment with you, all the others are full." Abby requested appearing fatigued by all the walking, this train was bigger than she had anticipated.

The boy looked up at her at once and gave a nod, yes.

"Great. My name is Abby, Abby Thompson. They haven't told any students yet, but I'm an exchange student."

"Oh, I'm Neville Longbottom. What do you mean exchange student?"

"Well, don't tell anyone but Mrs. Lafarge, my principal, and Professor Dumbledore have arranged it so some of the 6th years in your grade and some of the 6th years in my grade exchange schools. I got chosen to come here and unfortunately this morning I missed the knight bus so I had to take the train." Abby heaved out of her brain.

"Splendid, it sounds like fun. Have you met anyone else from Hogwarts?"

Just as Abby was about to answer the door pulled back and there stood two girls; one with bright red hair like Ron and another that dazed oddly at Neville with blonde hair.

"Oh, sorry we interrupted. We'll just leave." Said the red haired girl.

"No, its ok. This is Abby she was just telling me about who she is and why she's here. You can sit with us." Said Neville who seemed quite comfortable with the two young ladies.

"Oh, well ok then. Hi (she said turning to Abby's direction) I'm Ginny Weasley and this is Luna Lovegood. We're 5th years." Alleged the red haired teenager.

"Hi, I'm Abby. I might as well say it again. I was just telling Neville about the exchange program."

The blonde spoke up with time. "Oh, what is the program, did you come from somewhere far and distant like ugopatamia it's where croclisalams are. They are the most fascinating creatures of the inkyloop family."

"Um...no. I come from Texas in the states. The exchange program is a group of students from a different school that come here and the other kids go back to my school, Mrs. Lafarge, my principal, and Professor Dumbledore have arranged it so some of the 6th years in your grade and some of the 6th years in my grade exchange schools. I got chosen to come here and unfortunately this morning I missed the knight bus so I had to take the train." Abby said once again.

The blonde suddenly looked like she had become uninterested. But Ginny looked content.

"Hey this might be weird but I met this boy over the summer in Diagon Alley and you look just like him almost." Said Abby.

"You probably mean my brother, Ron Weasley. He's such a git." Answered Ginny.

"I don't think your brothers a git, I think he's nice and very intelligent looking." Challenged Abby.

"You have got to be kidding me! Hermione's the smart one, and Harry's the fighter, Ron just eats. Oh by the way did you meet Harry and Hermione?"

"Actually I did. They seemed really nice."

"Oh, wait, are you the girl that they ran into in Flourish and Blotts? They told me about you they think your-"

But just as Ginny was about to finish her sentence all of a sudden Abby saw three familiar people. One with messy black hair, one with bushy hair, and one with the same red hair as Ginny it was Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

Ron looked at Abby weirdly then to Ginny and told it was time to go for their prefect meeting leaving behind a bewildered Harry, Neville, and Abby. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Luna were all prefects. At that moment Harry then looked to Abby.

"Hi, I didn't know the exchange program was for Hogwarts. Where's the rest of your school. You're the first new face I've seen all evening." Said Harry.

"Well, long story short I missed the knight bus and had to take the Hogwarts Express." Abby wanting to change the subject decided on saying something else, "What are prefects?"

Harry looked into her blue eyes and answered, "prefects are good students who get special privileges to look after the school."

"Oh, ok so tell me about Ron?"

"Well, he's a nice guy, and we all think he likes Hermione, they fight all the time making it so obvious." Said Neville who had been quiet until now.

"Oh, well I wish Hermione all the best...she seems like a very nice girl. So Neville, Harry tell me about yourselves? I would love for us to become friends!"

"Yeah..." said Neville and Harry looking uncomfortable but Abby hadn't known what she did wrong all she did was try to be friendly.

The ride stayed uncomfortable with the same bumpy silence, before the door cracked open to reveal all the prefects back to the original compartment. Hermione looked around and noticed the silence so she tried opening up a conversation.

"So, Abby what did you do this summer? I've always dreamed about going to the United States of America. I've read all these books about the place and it sounds lovely. What do you think of it?" Hermione offered the starter.

"This summer I went to California with my mom, she's always wanted to go so I went with her. Other than that I did all my homework. I think the United States are so pretty, I've only been to Texas and California, but I have always dreamed of going to New York. I heard that the sightseeing there was extraordinary." Presented Abby.

But just at that instance the door opened to reveal Draco Malfoy. Draco seeing a new face looked at Abby and smiled this charming grin that made her want to fly. He then turned to look at the rest of them and gave the whole rest of the compartment a sour look.

Turning back to look at Abby again he tried to start a conversation. "Hello. I'm Draco Malfoy. Who might you be?" The way he said Draco was enough to make a girl die. It wasn't like back at home where guys already knew you and said hi. This was the kind of thing that girls dreamed about happening to them, and it was finally happening to her, a cute British boy was flirting with her...Abby Thompson!

"Hi. I'm Abby Thompson, and I'm new here on an exchange group."

"Draco shove off this isn't your compartment. Leave her and us alone!" said Ron.

"Shut up Weasel! If Abby here wants to talk to me she can." Spat Draco.

"Draco, I just noticed where are your goons Crabbe and Goyle?! Why aren't they following you around? Has daddy's little master got them right now, or did they just get kicked out of school for not passing the owls? Harry quarreled back.

This was so much more exciting then the knight bus, Abby thought! She would have done this any day. Just then Abby saw something that caught her eye. Wands. This was getting much more serious then it should have.

"Expelliarmus" roared Harry, but as Harry said it Draco yelled Protego making the spell rebound but Harry jumped out of the way a couple steps in front of Abby. Draco more prepared yelled stupefy this time where Harry was but as Harry jumped away not thinking about the consequences the spell hit Abby, marking her

unconscious.

Abby looked around, she was in total darkness. Then out of the blue there was figure with a cold hard laugh. The figure started to talk bringing shivers of power to Abby's body that she had never felt before. This figure wouldn't let her leave until it was finished.
