Chapter 32: Back to Hogwarts (again)

Disclaimer: like I have said since the beginning of this story WAAAAAY back on chapter 1. I do not own anything. Except possibly Mary, Rose, their owls, Damien, and some other characters you do not recognize. Speaking of Damien, what do you guys think he is up to?

Rose ran through the barrier between platforms nine and ten. The scarlet Hogwarts Express appeared in front of her. Ron appeared beside her a few moments later and they went to find a compartment to sit in on the long ride back to Hogwarts. Rose clutched onto her necklace with one hand, the silver warm under her fingers, and she held Ron's hand with her other hand as they tried to make their way through the crowd of students all ages saying good bye to their parents. She had never noticed how many people went home for the holidays. Rose wondered if anyone even stayed for the holidays.

The two found a compartment, put their stuff inside and then went to say bye to Mary's foster parents and Mrs. Weasley. Rose also had to thank Mary's foster parents since they would be taking care of Danny until her father was able to come to England and take Danny back to the states. Rose hoped he would come before she was out of school. She did not want to see her father. She could possibly stay at Ron's until Danny wasn't at Mary's anymore. She was jerked out of her thoughts by Ron.

"Huh?" She asked and saw that they were walking towards Mary's foster parents and Mrs. Weasley. She said goodbye to both and said thanks and turned to Danny.

"You better behave. Mary's foster parents are doing us a huge favor. Plus, by the end of the school year I will be seventeen and able to perform magic outside school. I will turn you into a roster if you don't behave." Rose threatened.

"Really? THAT WOULD BE SO COOL ROSE! I could wake you up when I saw the sun and…" Danny's sentence was drowned by the train whistle and Rose's groan.

"Just behave!" Rose yelled and went back onto the train. Once in the compartment Rose yawned and transformed into a kitty in a flash of lime green light and jumped up onto the seat next to Ron. She curled up and fell asleep. Rose hated waking up early and was going to catch up on her missing hours of sleep.

While she was asleep everyone around her was trapped in their own thoughts. Hermione had once again gone off to look for Terry who had gone home for Easter Holiday and was riding the train back. Harry and Ron were beginning to realize how little she was bugging them about homework since she had met Terry. They now, silently, made it their duty to keep Hermione and Terry together.

Rose woke as the train was slowing and yawned still as a cat. When she saw that Ron had Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans she crawled over to him and started purring to get his attention. Ron tossed one into his mouth and plainly said,

"You are going to choke if you try and eat one while you are still a cat." Rose glared at him that is if cats could glare. In another flash of lime green light she was human again. Now with fingers she snatched the box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans out of Ron's hands and ate then while leaning against the compartment door.

Almost as if on purpose, Hermione and Terry opened the compartment door from the opposite side making Rose fall back and the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to spill everywhere.

"Ow!" Rose exclaimed. Mary was on the floor laughing her head off. Rose got up and kicked her hard.

"OW!" Mary yelled. Rose just stuck her tongue out. The train slowed to a stop and everyone walked off of the train. They were back at Hogwarts for the second time that year.
