Chapter Six
They rest of the summer flew by quickly. Hermione was surprised when she woke up on September First.
"Where did the summer go?" Hermione said as she and Ginny rolled out of bed.
Ginny shrugged her shoulders. They got dressed quickly and hurried downstairs for a fast bite to eat.
Ron and Harry were already downstairs at the table. Harry smiled upon their entrance.
"Morning." Ron said through a mouthful of muffins.
"Nice Ron." Hermione said noticing he sprayed food all over his side of his table.
Ginny and Hermione joined the two to eat a quick breakfast before they headed off to the platform.
"Dad got home late last night." Ron said to Ginny, this time after he swallowed his food.
"Where is he?" Ginny asked, excited to see her Dad before she went off to school.
Ron tilted his head to the direction of the garden. Ginny hurriedly finished her breakfast and ran outside.
Soon Harry, Ron, and Hermione were done with their own breakfast. They decided to lug their trunks downstairs.
Hermione was just about to take her own trunk downstairs when Ginny rushed into the room. She smiled at Hermione before taking her own trunk down the steps.
When all the trunks were stacked in the living room Mr. and Mrs. Weasley magically made them all go into the cars that the Ministry had provided for them.
"They should give me anything I ask for now." Mr. Weasley. "They had me working for seven days straight."
Hermione noticed the large bags under his eyes as he said this.
Everybody got in the cars and headed towards King's Cross Train Station. Hermione noticed that they drive was shorter than it usually was.
"They must have done something to skip ahead to different parts of London." Hermione thought to herself as they pulled into the parking lot.
They arrived between the platforms nine and ten at quarter to eleven. They pushed through the brick wall one at a time to avoid being detected by the muggles.
Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Harry got on the train after saying their good- bye's and (in Hermoine and Harry's case) their thank you's to the Weasley's.
"I am going to sit with Luna." Ginny said once they got on the train. "We arranged to meet each other in the same compartment."
The trio nodded and settled in a compartment in the middle of the train. Their trunks had already been stored in the overhead compartments.
The train left the station at exactly 11:00.
"I'm starved." Ron said, within minutes of their departure.
Hermione rolled her eyes. Ron was always hungry. It was then that Hermione remembered the drama production mentioned in the Hogwarts letter.
"Are either of you planning on trying out for the play this year?" Hermione asked the two boys with interest.
Ron and Harry gave her a look suggesting that she was from another planet.
"Did you read the Hogwarts Letter?" Hermione said, annoyed.
"I skimmed it." Harry said, "I mean, come on, they say the same thing every year."
"Apparently not. You didn't know about the play." Hermione said.
Harry and Ron couldn't argue with that and they didn't have to when they noticed the food trolley coming around.
The large woman that was pushing it stopped at their door. "Anything to eat dears?"
The three nodded. They split the cost for pumpkin juice, chocolate frogs, and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans.
Ron went for the chocolate frogs first. "I want to see if I get Agrippa and Ptolemy. I have been searching for them for well, forever.
He tore the package open in excitement. He looked at the card. "I got Dumbledore again!" Ron said.
"Aren't you a bit old to be playing with Wizard's Cards?" a cold, drawling voice said from the door of the compartment.
"Go away Malfoy." Hermione said, giving hin a cold glare.
Malfoy ignored her and reached for the card with Dumbledore on it.
"My father told me about these." Draco said in disgust, "He said that Dumbledore can spy on people through this picture. It is probably some dumb way to watch out for mudbloods like Granger. It's pathetic. They can't even take care of themselves."
Ron and Harry were so angry that they lunged at Malfoy and pushed in into Crabbe and Goyle. The three of them went tumbling into the hallway of the train. Ron then slammed the door so hard that the glass on the door shattered. Malfoy and his cronies stood up, scowled, and walked away.
Hermione sat in her chair silently with a puzzled look on her face. She then took out her wand and pointed it at the shattered glass. She said a few words and the glass positioned itself back to normal.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Ron asked.
"Don't you read?" Hermione said. "It is Standard Book of Spells Grade Six."
Harry and Ron shrugged their shoulders and went into an in depth conversation about Quidditch.
Hermione picked up the Wizard Card and thought about what Malfoy said. She stared at Dumbledore's picture. Dumbledore winked and disappeared from the picture.
Hermione stared in disbelief. Did the picture just wink at her?
"What do you think Hermione?" Harry said.
"Uh. I have no idea what you are talking about." Hermione said honestly.
Hermione opened one of her other school books and read for the rest of the train ride. Harry and Ron played a game of Wizards Chess.
They put their robes on when they felt the train slowing down. They had changed into their actual uniforms at the Burrow.
The train soon pulled into Hogsmeade Station. An announcement came overhead to leave their trunks on the train. It was mainly for the first years since everybody else already knew this.
The night sky was clear and crisp when they got off the Hogwarts Express. The trio ran to the nearest carriage. Hermione and Ron got into the carriage but Harry held back. "Harry, come on." Hermione urgently said.
"Hold on." Harry answered. "I'll be right there."
Harry walked over to one of the thestrals (A/N- Sorry if I spelled that wrong) that was attached to the carriage. He gave it a small pat on the back before getting into the carriage. He wondered which one was the one he had ridden to the Department of Mysteries.
"Harry, are you going to close the door?" Ron asked, watching Harry stare at the front of the carriage.
Harry snapped out of it and pulled the door closed. Their carriage was headed towards the school where they would begin their sixth year of magic.
Please review and tell me what you think. I really need some suggestions on how to improve my writing. Thanks for reading!
