"He thinks he's all that!" Roy had to go change in another cart while Harriett and Hannah changed into their robes.

"You mean Roy?"

"Yes, I mean Roy! I know I have a problem-correcting people all the time, but geese! I don't care how reliable his brother is. That was NOT a spell!"

"You mean brother's'"

"What?"

"Brothers. I think he was talking about his older brothers. They're twins. Fred and George, I think... No, no. It was Gred and Forge."

"Are you correcting me?"

"Um. No?"

"Good! I hate being corrected, don't you!? I don't mean to sound cruel. I'm just kind of a bookworm and always get good grades. I just hate being wrong or corrected."

"But didn't you just say you have a problem correcting people?" Hannah and Harriett stared at each other and there was an awkward silence.

"Knock, knock!" They heard Roy say outside the door. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah. We're done." Harriett went and opened the door to see Roy in the same black robes as them and everyone else.

"Let's go." He said.

"Okay." Hannah glared at Roy as she passed him out the door. Roy just looked at Harriett and rolled eyes, looking agitated. Harriett just smiled.

They all squeezed through the door that everyone was crowded around, also trying to get out. When they got out, they found themselves on a large platform that seemed to be floating above water.

"But how...?" Harriett thought to herself. She turned around and saw that the whole train was floating above water! Harriett gazed at it with awe, as did Hannah and Roy when they looked to see what Harriett was gazing at.

"All first years! All first years follow me!" Harriett recognized this voice. She turned around and saw the familiar grizzly man.

"Harold!" Harriett smiled and ran up to him.

"Well, hullo!" He said when he saw Harriett. She smiled up at him. "You've got to follow me along with the other first years. Meet anyone on the train?"

"Yeah. "Meet Roy and-" Harriett looked behind her to see no one there. The people who were to follow Harold seemed to keep their distance. She could have sworn that Roy and Hannah were just behind her. She looked to see them back with everyone else gazing a little fearfully at Harold. Harriett laughed and went up to Roy and Hannah.

"Um. Who's your- (gulp)-friend, Harriett?" Roy said, he voice a little squeaky. Harriett smiled.

"That's Harold! Come and meet him. He's truly really nice."

"I'm game!" Hannah said, running up to him and throwing out her hand. "Hullo! I'm Hannah Ranger!"

'Well, hullo! I'm Harold." Harold shook Hannah's hand. "Nice to meet some one who's willing to talk to a big fellow like me!" Harold joked.

"Well, I read a book once about how larger people are usually nice and loyal!" Harold frowned and was a little speechless.

"Hi." Harriett had basically dragged Roy over to Harold. Roy waved and cowered away from him. Hannah, who was right behind him, shoved him towards Harold.

"Don't be so thick!" She said. Roy glared at Hannah and turned back to Harold. He took a breath and stuck out his hand.

"I'm Roy Wealy." He said with the same squeaky voice, which he seemed to be trying to hold back. He looked like he thought Harold was going to eat him. Instead, Harold just laughed. His booming laugh just scared Roy and he turned around to start running. He didn't get very far. Harriett and Hannah were quick to caught him and push him back towards Harold. He stopped laughing and looked at Roy.

"Well, I'm Harold! Nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand and Roy slowly put his hand into Harold's. Harold shook it and smiled. Harriett laughed quietly. Harold turned around to the rest of the first years. "Okay. Let's get started! Everyone load into the boats!"

Harriett hadn't even noticed the boats. On the side on the platform were tons of little boats with torches on one end of each. "Four to a boat!" Harold yelled. Harriett climbed into a boat with Roy, Hannah, and a strange girl. She seemed a little depressed. "Everybody in!? Okay, FORWARD!" Harold yelled. The boats started to glide across the misty water.

"Hullo, I'm Noelle Shortbottom." The girl said sadly.

"Hi. I'm Hannah Ranger; this is Harriett Porter and this is-"Hannah started.

"I can introduce myself!" Roy interrupted, stubbornly. "I'm Roy Wealy." He said, distinctly.

"Did you say Harriett Porter!?" Noelle said, surprisingly, looking at Harriett.

"Yeah." Harriett staid

"Wow! Can I see your scar?!" Harriett moved a messy braid away from her face, revealing the scar everyone was suddenly interested in. "Wicked!" She said, gazing at it. Harriett just smiled and Noelle frowned. "Too bad Trenton couldn't see it..."

"Um, excuse me?' Hannah asked out of curiosity. "Who's Trenton?"

"My toad... I lost him on the train... Why is he always running away?" Noelle said, shaking her head. A look of triumph came across Roy's face.

"Is this him!?" He said. Roy had pulled out the toad that was in Scrape's cage earlier.

"Trenton!" Noelle grabbed the toad and hugged him. "Thank you so much!"

Harriett looked out at the water. She couldn't wait to get there, to Pigpimples. Her new friends were quit fun to be with, even thought they didn't get along the best. Today was such a great adventure, even though most of the day had been waiting. She looked back up at the other boats. Many other students were just as anxious. But no one could know how much Harriett was enjoying this. She hadn't seen a Dudley for 2 days now, and she wouldn't see one for a long time. Harriett smiled and noticed one certain boat of girls. Two of which were the ones she had seen on the train. One was obsessed with blue, which she seemed to be showing now. Her robe was blue and not black like the others. The other three girls in the boat also wore strangely colored robes. The other girl they had seen on the train wore a lime green robe. One of the other girls was tall with dirty blonde hair, put up in a ponytail, and braces. She wore a blood red robe. The last also had glasses and braces. She had black hair in a low ponytail and a purple robe. They all sat silently and looked like they were trying hard not to laugh. It seemed very suspicious. Then, a loud farting sound was heard. Everyone turned toward the sound to see a very aggravated Draca. The girls in strange colors burst out laughing, as did a lot of other students. Draca stood in the boat and sat back down. Another farting sound was heard. Everyone laughed harder and the girl in green fell on the floor of their boat and the other strange girls nearly fell off the side, laughing. Harriett laughed, too. Draca glared at the girls.

"Oh, ha-ha. Very funny!" Draca said sarcastically. "A silly Sit-n-Fart spell on my seat. How very mature!"

The girls just kept laughing and the girl in red yelled "Aw, yes! Courtesy of Marauders, INC!" They all just laughed harder at this. Harriett laughed along with everyone else before turning back to Roy and Hannah, who were laughing.

"What do they mean by "Marauders, INC?" Harriett asked.

"That's what they call themselves." Roy said, after calming down from laughing. "It means 'Troublemakers.' A very good name for them, actually. They're always picking on the Slytherins and pulling pranks. The 'INC' is because they're the second generation of Marauders. You're dad was one of the originals!" Harriett looked at Roy. Her dad... "All of the originals were guys. The new generation isn't near as great but they get the trouble-making done!" Harriett smiled.

"Well, I think what they did was quite funny and creative. I wouldn't of thought of that." Roy looked at Hannah and shook his head with a questioned face that seemed to say. "Was that a compliment or a documentary ending?" Harriett laughed. Roy and Hannah wondered what was so funny.
