Chapter 3

The Hogwarts Express

Today was the day. The day that Caleb would leave for Hogwarts. His mother had spent about three hours crying and Remus had talked to him about not letting anyone know that he was a werewolf right away, only the faculty knew so far. Caleb remembered the stories of how Remus had went to Hogwarts and met Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew there, and they all had become illegal Animagi. Caleb was worried that he would never make friends, first off because he probably didn't look normal, second off; he was naturally a shy person so he had a hard time talking to people. Plus if anyone found out where he went every month, he would defiantly have to leave the school.

When Caleb and his parents arrived at the train station he wondered how exactly a train going to a magical school got in a world of muggles.

"Caleb" His father said "I want you to be very careful, don't go looking for trouble. Make sure you meet the school nurse on the nights of the full moon and she will take you to the Whomping Willow. Remember if anyone asks you were you go every month just tell them your mother is sick.... that's the excuse I used." Remus smiled and his eyes seemed to cloud over as if he were remembering the days of the marauders.

"We love you honey, and if anything goes wrong don't....." Ona began

"Hesitate to contact you." Caleb finished "I know mom... I love you guys too. Now which platform do I get on so I won't miss my train?"

"Platform nine and three quarters" said Remus

"Platform nine and three what? Are you guys insane there's no such thing as a platform nine and three quarters!"

"Over coarse there is..." Remus replied "See that wall over there? The one between Platform nine and ten? I want you to run straight through it with all your things and don't pause or it won't work!" Remus smiled at his young son.

"Whatever you say dad! Love you! See you over Christmas!" Caleb pushed his cart towards the wall and ran towards it, in an instant he was through what seemed another train station in front of him a was a large old-fashioned black passenger train. He turned back towards the wall, he couldn't believe he was finally here.

Kar and his mother had read over the letter several times, she could hardly believe her own son had been accepted her husband had been a wizard and a vampire so Kar must have inherited Raphael's wizard blood. The letter clearly stated:

Dear Karmithius Dellon,

I am pleased to announce that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I will enclose a list of your school supplies but first I must inform you about more important matters. I have asked the Ministry of Magic, if I could bring a bright young vampire into our school, at first they answered no, but after a persuasive speech they agreed, unfortunately if you were to harm any one while staying at this school you will be put on trial and either be sent back home or if the crime is serious enough, to Azkaban. Although this is disheartening news you're probably wondering how you are to survive at this school being a vampire and all. You will be glad to know that you may join us for breakfast, lunch and diner, and you may eat if you wish, but after diner you will be able to leave the castle and hunt in the Forbidden Forest, but I must warn you not to go too far, for the Forbidden Forest is a dangerous place. You under no circumstances are not allowed there any other time except after diner; I hope you will understand that I am tying my best to make it easier for you to attend my school. Good Luck!

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledoor

Kar had already purchased all his school supplies, his mother; Ursula was now with him at the train station. He was trying to ignore all the stares he and his mother were getting; being a vampire he was truly attractive. He had long jet black hair that reached his lower back, and a pale gothic-like complexion; his eyes were a very pale blue, his long sharp canine teeth were noticeable when he talked and his fingernails were unnaturally long, he was also seemingly tall for his age. Ursula had the same long black hair her sons had and her eyes were a pale blue. She was a gorgeous woman, she didn't looked older than 25 but her age now was well over 200.

Kar noticed a particularly strange girl staring at him, she looked normal but her scent was not that of an ordinary witch. She smelt like.....a cat.

His mother snapped him out of his thoughts as she spoke to him.

"Kar, I want you to stay far away from humans, they will find out what you are, if any of them try to make friends with you, ignore them!"

Kar wasn't a social person in the first place, so he knew he wouldn't have any trouble ignoring people.

"I wish you luck my son you are very lucky to be accepted into Hogwarts." Ursula showed no emotion accept in her eyes, Kar could see that she was sad about leaving him.

"I'll be careful." He whispered and he turned towards the wall that would lead him to Hogwarts Express. He calmly walked towards the wall and pushed himself and his luggage through. Bright lights were the first thing he noticed when he entered the Magical Train Station, although he could stand to be in sunlight, he hated bright lights. He refrained himself from growling as he approached the train. The baggage boy took his luggage and put it in one of the back compartments of the train. He stepped aboard the train and was greeted with voices of many people. Hopefully I'll be able to find an empty compartment. He thought to himself.

Finally at the end of the train he found a vacant compartment, he sat down near the window and waited for the train to move.

Ryoku was practically bouncing of the walls when she, Amme, Vexin, and Jemina arrived at the train station, a mixture of excitement and nervousness engulfed her. She was looking around and taking in every bit of the train station, when she noticed a very handsome young boy he was very pale and had long dark hair, she couldn't help but stare at him, until he turned and noticed her. She blushed and looked away.

Jemina and her siblings each hugged her about three times each and she felt like she was on the verge of tears.

"Ryoku, If only your parents were alive to see this day!" Jemina sniffled "They would be so proud of you dear!" "Now I already told you not to let anyone know about your cat heritage, except for perhaps close friends. Don't forget to send us an owl once in a while now dearest!"

"I won't forget!" Ryoku smiled

"Why do you have to leave Ryoku?" Amme asked

"I'm going to Hogwarts and in a few years you'll come here to and next year Vexin will."

Her sister nodded and purred a little. That was one of the more embarrassing parts of being half cat demon involved, her and her siblings tended to purr when there emotions were on high, Ryoku was just glad she hadn't inherited her mother's cat ears. Ryoku did have retractable claws and she could run very fast and jump amazing heights and she always landed on her feet.

After Jemina had instructed her on how to get to the Hogwarts train Ryoku waved goodbye one more time and ran through the wall separating the muggle train station from the magic one.

Ryoku gave the baggage boy her bags and prepared to get on the train when she saw a white haired boy looking confused, she decided he looked like he needed some help so she approached him.

"Hey looks like your pretty confused, you give your luggage to that guy over there and then you board the train." She smiled, she had always been good at talking to people, and Aunt Jemina said it was one of her strong points.

"Oh....thank you..." he started to walk towards the baggage boy.

"I'm Ryoku Leonne by the way, I'm a first year, and by the looks of it you are too." Ryoku looked at him expecting him to elaborately introduce him self.

"I'm Caleb Lupin, and I'm a first year too." He said quietly.

Ryoku wondered why he wasn't talking that much. Caleb handed the baggage boy his luggage and he and Ryoku boarded the train.

"Hey lets sit together okay we can try to find an empty compartment."

Caleb having really no choice in the matter agreed.

Ryoku peered into every compartment and found that all were full, at the back of the train they came across a compartment with only one person in it, Ryoku the realized it was the dark haired youth she had been staring at.

"Hey" she said opening the compartment door. "Can we sit here? Everywhere else is full."

The boy glared at her with piercing pale blue eyes "Fine, just don't bother me." He put his head on the glass window and closed his eyes.

"Whatever you say..." Ryoku retorted, he wasn't very polite.

Ryoku sat down on the opposite side of the handsome boy and Caleb sat next to her not wanting to disturb him.

"So" said Ryoku turning towards Caleb "Do you come from a wizard family? My dad was a wizard and my mom was a ca- um a human." Ryoku mentally whacked herself, she had almost slipped.

"I come from a wizard family, my dad went to Hogwarts." Caleb answered simply.

Ryoku nodded, she had never met someone so non talkative. She wondered if his hair was naturally white or if he had dyed it, either way it suited him, he was cute, but his eyes, made him look older than he was.

"Did you dye your hair that way?" Ryoku asked.

Caleb shook his head.

Ryoku got the feeling that he didn't want to talk much.

Akmed had the feeling he had missed the train. His father was so slow! He just had to stop and talk to about ten people on the way and now he was practically dragging his father Rashva through the crowd of people in the train station, one way or another Rashva seemed to recognize every person they passed.

"Dad! Do you want me to miss the train?!" "You don't need to talk to every person you see you know!" Akmed stopped and scanned the station for the sign that would indicate platform 9 and 3/4. Until he noticed there was no sign.

"DAD!" Akmed exclaimed "THERE IS NO PLATFORM 9 AND ¾!"

"Calm down Akmed you have temper just like your mother's! Now, see that wall over to the right? You simply run towards it with your cart and you will go right through, but do it quickly or you will miss the express."

Akmed nodded and waved goodbye to his father.

"Oh and remember what I told you!" his father added.

Akmed didn't hear him.

One the other side of the wall was a black train preparing to leave he hurriedly handed his bag to the baggage boy, and jumped aboard the Hogwarts express. Most of the compartments were full, and the ones that weren't 'claimed' they were waiting form someone so Akmed found a compartment at the back of the train with three people sitting in it, one was a very tall, pale, dark haired boy who appeared to be sleeping, the other was a boy with white hair who also seemed to be asleep, and the other was a girl with long blonde hair a bright smiling face.

He immediately recognized the girl.

"Can I sit here?" he gasped

"Sure!" she beamed "Hey you're that kid from the ice cream parlor! It's Akmed right? if you don't remember me I'm Ryoku!"

"Yeah Akmed, who are they?" Akmed said as he sat down next to the dark haired boy.

"Well that's Caleb." she pointed to the young werewolf. "I'm not sure who he is though all he said to me was 'You can sit here if you leave me alone'" She deepened her voice to sound more like the mysterious kid.

Akmed laughed and he pushed his small bag under his seat. (All the kids had one, as they contained their robes)

"So..." began Ryoku, and instantly Akmed knew this was going to be a long ride.
