Chapter One:
It was midnight and through out the castle there wasn't a sound (unless you count snoring portraits). Everything seemed to be fine…until the unexpected turned into the very possible…..
"Attention students and staff! We have an emergency situation. I have been warned that Death Eaters are now on their way toward Hogwarts. Would the Heads of the Houses please lead their students to the Hogsmeade train station where we will board the Hogwarts Express. I will with explain further there…There is no time for packing or dressing so please go straight to the train station!", Dumbledores's voice boomed through the school and woke everyone at once.
"Bloody Hell!" Ron yelled, surprised and shocked by the voice so suddenly that he bumped his head on his way out of bed.
"Hurry Ron….where's my robe? I can't go outside shirtless!" Harry scrambled to find anything he could to cover his chest.
"Forget it Harry, Death Eaters are heading for Hogwarts! Just grab your wand! Let's go!" Ron said almost tripping over the rug.
They ran down the stairs to find everyone already leaving the common room leaded by Professor McGonagall. Everyone that is except Hermione who was waiting for them with Crookshanks. Just then Hedwig and Pig swept down on their owners shoulders somehow knowing there was an emergency.
There was no loud siren, everything was very quiet. Calmer than you'd think. Harry was surprised there wasn't chaos everywhere.
"Come on you guys! Don't just stand there!" Hermione said sounding scared and annoyed at the same time. No matter what the situation, Hermione always seemed to find room to be annoyed with Ron and Harry. What she didn't know was that Harry and Ron had stopped because Hermione's nightgown was almost completely see-through. It wasn't something they had expected Hermione to wear to bed. They both shook their heads, getting rid of mental images, and zoomed out the portrait hole to join the line of scared Gryffindors.
Meanwhile in the Slytherin's common room:
"Draco, I'm scared…hold me", Pansy shivered tugging at the sleeve of his robe. The Slytherins were just now heading out of their common room. Pansy was shivering of both fear and the cold (wearing only a tang-top and shorts of green silk). Rawr, she is looking good!, Draco thought to himself, "Its ok baby, I got you". Draco was colder than she was in his boxers and robes. He held her close feeling her shiver and pulse quicken. What the hell are our dads doing here? What a way to start the 6th year, Draco thought as Pansy started to sob obviously thinking the same thing.
It took only minutes and the whole school was in front of the Hogwarts Express waiting to see what was suppose to happen next. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were huddled in a corner trying to keep warm because moments after they arrived it started to rain, (Ron and Harry were making sure they weren't too close to Hermione).
"May I please have your attention for we have little time! We will all board the train and will travel to a saver unmarked place. Your belongings are already there and it will take a few days to get there, but I fear it is our only choice. I will ask you to please pair up with someone I ask you to stay with at all times" Dumbledore, again, boomed so that everyone heard him. With that everyone started picking partners. Right when Harry was going to say something about being Ron's partner, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to find Cho Chang standing behind him in a rather short sleep shirt.
"Hi Harry….want to be my partner?", she said in the sweetest hard to resist voice. Harry looked at his friends. Hermione looked furious (her usual protective self) and Ron was nodding fast. When Harry didn't answer Ron took him aside, "Harry, what's wrong with you? You go ahead I'll be partners with Hermione" Harry gave him and uneasy look, "Ron she dumped me last year! Why would she come crawling back?" Ron gave him that "who-cares-take-a-chance" look. "Fine…",Harry gave in.
He turned to face Cho, "Ok, let's go". Cho smiled and took Harry's arm. Ron took Hermione's arm and she asked furiously, "What was that all about?". Ron just chuckled, took Hermione's arm and went aboard the train.
