Aboard the Hogwarts express, every got comfortable. Sirius and Harry stationed near the door while Ron sat next to Hermione and Chris on one side, Ginny with Jason on the other.
"I am so excited" said Hermione. "This is going to be a fantastic year, though we will have lots of studying to do, our NEWTS are next year you know" she said optimistic as the compartment door slid open. All occupants turned to the door quickly.
"Neville, Luna come on in" said Ginny noticing her two friends. They both smiled and entered noticing Harry. "Good to see yeah mate" said Neville shaking Harry's hand as Luna hugged him. The new occupants then noticed Sirius. "It's.. it's Sirius Black" said Neville, scared but clutching his wand ready to fight.
"Neville calm down" said Hermione. "He is innocent and was proven that remember" she said reminding the young man. "Oh yeah" he said. "Sorry" he continued, putting his hand out to Sirius. Sirius took it to show no hard feelings. "Alice and Frank's boy right. Good people they where" said Sirius approvingly. Neville nodded and took a seat as did Luna right next to him. Luna and Neville said their hellos when they both noticed that baby Chris seemed to have a play mate.
"Who's that" asked Neville. Every one looked to Harry as if asking what do we say. "He is Ginny and mine's son" said Harry cooly. Neville's jaw dropped and Luna seemed unfazed as she usually does. "H...How" stuttered Neville.
Harry studied both Neville an Luna and come to a conclusion in his own mind he cast a silencing spell so no one from the out side would hear and said, "I'm trusting you guys a lot that is why I will tell you this. But it is to remain a secret speak of it to no one." After receiving nods from his two friends he told them practically every thing. Neville had been very surprised when he heard he could of been the one in Harry's shoes if Voldemort had chosen him.
At the end both Neville and Luna got a look of determination on their faces. Neville spoke first. "Thanks for trusting me Harry. It means a lot. And I just wanna say that I am here for you and will fight by you. I will protect your son as well." Luna continued "I will too Harry" she said with a smile. "Looks like we are 6 now" said Ginny bouncing Jason on her knee.

They sat in the compartment, talking about idle things. Harry was happy to see Neville and Luna got along with Jason. Later Sirius decided halfway though to take Chris back from Hermonie to feed him his lunch. When Harry tried to do the same with Jason, Ginny just smacked his hand away and did it her self. As Chris and Jason were being feed the compartment door slid open. Harry expecting Malfoy or one of his goons prepared him self for a fight. He was quite shocked to see that it was not Malfoy at all. But three first years. At least that is what he presumed since neither of them had on any colors representing a house.
It was two boys, both with dark brown hair and a girl with crystal blue eyes and flowing dirty blond hair, all three were very out of breath as well as looked slightly afraid. "Can we stay here a bit" asked one of the boys that looked slightly familiar to Harry. Harry nodded as did the rest of the group. Every one shifted so the three new comers could find themselves seats while Sirius closed the door. "Are you alright" asked a concerned Hermione. "Yeah" said Ron "and who are you" finished Ron slightly uncomfortable with the new comers.
"Oh I'm sorry" said the girl. "How rude of us. I'm Scarlet and these two are" she trailed off. "I'm Bobby D'Lore" said the first boy on Luna's side. "And I'm Mark Evens" said the one who had spoken earlier. Harry sat their gawking at Mark. Hermione noticing something was up, but decided to do her own introductions. "I am Hermione Granger Black and these," she said pointing to Ron and Ginny "are Ron Weasley and his sister Ginny.
That's Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood and Harry Potter oh and my father Sirius Black. The little boy in his arms is my brother Chris and Ginny is holding Jason, Harry and her son" finished Hermione.
Hermione now noticed that not only was Harry staring at Mark but Mark was staring at Harry. Mark broke the silence. "Harry Potter, Dudley's cousin" he asked. Harry nodded. "One in the same" replied Harry.
"Bloody hell I knew it. I knew you did not go to St. Brutes. I mean if any one should go their it would be your cousin" replied Mark.
"This is so exciting, I mean I don't know any one in this world yet. It'll be good to at least know some one" said Mark. "Sure is" said Harry thinking of when he first meant Hagrid.
"Harry" asked Sirius "How do you now this kid?"
"Oh he lived a couple of house down from number 4. Dudley use to beat him up a lot" replied Harry not really showing his discomfort about talking about the Dursley. Ron who usually was thick did notice and decided to do his friend a favor and change the subject slightly.
"So what happen to you lot. Looked awful frightful when you came in here?" asked Ron. Harry gave Ron a small smile, thanking him.
"Oh well" replied Mark. "You see," continued the other boy Bobby "Mark and me well we meant on the platform and seeing neither of us had any one to sit with we found a compartment together. We are.. Um what you guys call us mujjel born" "Muggle born" replied Hermione.
"Oh yes well we where sitting in the compartment when we heard some yelling from out in the hall. From the door we saw it was some older boys picking on a girl, Scarlet" said Bobby. "Yeah" replied Mark taking over, telling the story. "We went to go help Scarlet but we don't know how to use our wands yet so we grabbed her and ran. They of course where pissed and chased us. We ran and ended up here" Mark finished.
Sirius growled showing his inner dog. "Bet it was some of the Slytherines." He pulled out his wand and handed Chris back to Hermione. "They will regret this." he said and stalked off to find the guilty party. Hermione just sighed "once a marauder always a marauder." She looked at the new comers and could not help think just like we started out.
"Are you a muggle born" asked Ron to Scarlet, his usually instantiative part coming out. "Ron" screeched Hermione. "No its okay" said Scarlet. "To answer your question no I am not a muggle born" she said not wanting to elaborate any further. "So then why did they attack you" asked Ron, perplexed.
"My father has never liked me much, my brother use to but not any more. They pick on me because I not like my family" replied Scarlet not letting any hint of who her father or brother are. Harry was about to ask when the compartment door slid open.
"Sirius" Harry was about to say expecting to see his godfather but he stopped. It was not Sirius but Draco Malfoy and his goons.
Harry was up in a flash his wand out. "What do you want ferret" said Ron joining Harry's side.
"Oh look Weasel is stick up for his precious Potty" said Malfoy laughing, his goons doing the same. "Get out" yelled Ginny. "No" said Malfoy noticing Jason. "Whose is that" he asked looking from Ginny to Harry.
"Did Potter knock up your sister Weasel. I always thought he knock up Granger though. Your family must be really happy. Actually have a source of income now" mocked Malfoy. Ron went to attack Malfoy but Harry beat him to it.
Harry grabbed Malfoy by the throat and held him tight. "Listen here Malfoy, their father is the minister of Magic right now so I would be careful unless you want to have a cell in Azkban, right next to you father."
"Now," said Harry in a low menacing voice "get out and don't you dare come back." But what Harry did not notice was what Malfoy had just noticed. His eyes grew dark. He pushed Harry off and walked out, a scowl on his face.
"I swear" said Ron "Malfoy is gonna get his this year." Every one in the room seemed to agree. Scarlet though remained quite sitting as far away from the door as possible. As if she was afraid it bite her.
Hermione tried to keep every one calm and started to tell stories about Hogwarts to Mark, Bobby and Scarlet. Every one seemed to calm down when once again the compartment door slid open. Harry, Ron and now Neville, afraid that it was once again Malfoy had their wands out ready to curse him. To every one's relief it was Sirius and he brought along a companion.
"Hey calm down guys." said Sirius entering with a young girl. She had dark red hair with small black streaks and hazel eyes. "Listen, I found her getting picked on by some idiots can she stay here while I go finish those guys off" asked Sirius. With a nod from Harry the young girl entered the compartment and Sirius left closing the door behind him. Every one once again shifted till the new girl could sit right between Ginny and Scarlet.
"What's your name" asked Ginny. "Rose"the girl replied shyly. "Well I'm Ginny and these people are my friends" said Ginny introducing every one. After being introduced to Harry she seemed more at easy. As if his presence alone comforted her.
"So you are the Harry Potter" said Rose excited. "Yeah" replied Harry. For some reason he liked this girl. "I read all about you in Wizarding Heros" she replied. As she was about to ask a question in the center of the room the floor erupted in flames. All those not use to seeing the flames of a phoenix jumped back in fright. Hedwig appeared.
"Hedwig" Harry said in his mind. "what's wrong?" he finished seeing that his faithful friend seemed upset. "Harry we have a problem. Open the window and follow me" said Hedwig back into his mind. Ginny hearing all of it.
Harry got up and made his way to the window and pushed it open. "I will be right back," he said aloud and turned in to his phoenix form and followed Hedwig. "Wow" was echoed around the room as Neville, Luna, Bobby, Rose, Scarlet and Mark saw Harry stretch out his wings and fly off.
"Ginny what's going on" asked Hermione. "I donno but it is something bad" replied Ginny holding on to Jason tighter.
Harry flew behind Hedwig till they landed on the top of the last car. "Look" said Hedwig. Harry looked back down the track. "Bloody hell" he yelled and took off back toward the compartment. He transformed and every one looked at him expectantly. "We are in bloody deep shit" said Harry. With that every ones jaws dropped as they waited to hear why.
