Chapter 3 Scared

The summer went by fast. It was already September 1st. As the kids were boarding the train, their parents waved good-bye.

"Harry, I'm scared," said Amy.

"Why, Amy?" asked Harry as Amy climbed on his back for a piggyback ride to the compartment the trio always sat in.

"Well, when you were still getting your things wheeled up, some boy with blonde hair pushed me into the wall. He had a big brother your age, I think," she said.

"Malfoy!" Harry said angrily.

"You know him?" asked Amy.

"Yes, sadly, but he and his brother will pay. Nobody messes with my baby sister," Harry said, smiling.

"Thanks, Harry," she said and kissed him on the cheek.

"Look, Amy's got herself a boooooooooooyfriend," said Deven, Malfoy's little brother. He saw Amy as she kissed Harry's cheek since he was standing in the hallway.

"Leave her alone!" said Andi.

"Yeah!" said Ben.

"Whatever. Besides, he's Harry Potter, my big brother. He's the one who beat your no good father!" Amy boasted.

"My big sister is Hermione Granger, the smartest witch in her year!" Ben said.

"My big brother is Ron Weasley. He can beat any one in Wizard's Chess," said Andi.

"Well, his big brother," came a voice from around the door, "is me," said Draco Malfoy.

"Well well well... If it isn't the ferret," said Hermione.

"YOU are the bouncing ferret?" laughed Amy. "Harry told me all about you!"

"Yeah. So, you have a problem with my little sister and her friend? Well, do you?" asked Harry coldly.

"No," the smirked.

"Great! Now get out of our compartment!" Harry said.

The Malfoy boys left and the old trio and the new one walked towards their compartment. Before they got there, they ran into Luna and her little brother, Nick. After a quick chat, they were off yet again. When they got there, the candy trolley was on its way down the train.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" asked the trolley lady.

"Chocolate Frogs," said Ron.

"I'll take Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans," Andi said, her eyes wide.

"Cauldron Cakes for me, Ma'am," said Hermione.

"Pumpkin Patties," said Ben.

"Carney Creams," Amy smiled.

"Then I'll take Ton-Tongue Toffees," said Harry.

Everyone looked at Harry.

"What?" he asked.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"What?" he asked again.

"Fred and George's candy," said Ron.

"I like the candy, mate," said Harry.

"Spoken like a true Potter," said James as he stepped into the compartment.

"Daddy!" said Amy excitedly.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" asked Harry.

"That's Professor Potter to you," said James.

"No way! You're the new DADA teacher? That's great!" said Harry.

"No. I'm the new DADA teacher," Lily stepped in, carrying a bag with her.

"Mummy!" Amy said, smiling.

"Mum? You're the new DADA professor? Wow," Harry said.

"So, Mr. Potter, what are you going to be teaching us?" asked Hermione.

"Before I answer that, Hermione, my father was Mr. Potter. I'm Professor Prongs. Now, on to the question... I'm the new...(should I leave you hanging? No way!) Potions teacher," said James.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Ron started doing a little jig in his seat.

"Alright!" Hermione said happily.

"Too cool!" said Harry.

"Why are you so happy?" Lily asked, confused.

"No more Snape!" they said.

"Snape... As in Severus Snape... Was the Potions professor?" James cried in horror.

"Was Albus drunk when he hired him?" Lily asked, shaking her head.
