Another chapter! woot! anyway, This is yet another chapter and its time Skye gets on the train. hopefully, nothing too bad will happen. teehee. but a maybe that's asking much from a charmed ones daughter. if you're wondering, this is in the third book setting. a few things might be different, but hey.

The Train Ride

Skye sighed as she sipped her butter beer. Harry told her it was the best drink ever. she couldn't agree more, but something troubles her mind. she stared at her mug. Astra must have sensed her uneasiness, because she meowed questioningly at her mistress.

"It's ok Astra. Just thinking." She said softly. Harry came up, hoping to sneak up on her. "Hey Harry." she said softly and then laughed when he jumped.

"How did you know it was me?" he asked.

"I could hear you coming, and I've grown accustomed to expect things sneaking up o me." She said with a giggle and smile.

"What do you mean things?" he asked her. she smiled and shook her head never-mind. He shrugged and took her hand.

"Where are we going?" she asked in confusion.

"We have to get going to the train station. We will be late." he said a little frantic. She smiled.

"No we won't." she said. "Hang on, ok? and your stuff." she shimmered out of sight. no one seemed to notice but they did. Harry had his eyes closed with slight fear and Astra held on to her mistress's arm. when they all opened their eyes, they were at Kings Cross Railway Station. (right?) She took her luggage and turned to Harry, who still looked stunned.

"What just happened?" he asked dazed.

"We shimmered." she said matter-of-factly. he shook his head and led her to the wall between platforms nine and ten. she looked oddly at him.

"You have to walk strait into that wall." Harry said.

"I'll crash my cart." Skye said with confusion.

"No you won't. Trust me." he said with an innocent smile. He went ahead of her. Skye closed her eyes, waiting to hear a crashing noise, but none came. When she looked up, Harry was gone. no where to be seen. She thought a moment and then started to walk toward it, then a slight run. she closed her eyes. No impact. when she opened them for a second time, she saw a big scarlet train. The Hogwarts express.

"Took you long enough." Harry said with a grin. Behind him was a red-haired boy. "This is Ron." Skye nodded at the boy. she smiled widely and then turned slyly to Harry. He shook his head as f he knew what the other was going to ask.

"I'm Skye Hallowell. it's nice to meet you." she said. "It's my first time here."

"Yeah, I figured as much. don't worry, me and Harry will teach you some stuff and who to stay away from. there are allot of unfriendly people here." he glanced at someone behind her. When Skye looked back, she saw someone with silver blonde hair get on the train. She shrugged it off. so what if that stupid boy, Draco was here. She could handle it.

"Come on." Harry took her hand and dragged her on the train. It only took a few minutes before they loaded their stuff in the baggage and found a compartment. It was empty but for a man laying his head on the window sleeping.

"Should we find another compartment?" Skye asked.

"Naw, He's only asleep." Ron said as he sat down by the window. Skye shrugged and also sat down next to him as Harry sat down across. As Harry opened his mouth to say something, The compartment door slid open again to reveal a girl with bushy brown hair.

"Hello, Harry, Ron. How are you?" she said with a smile. "Neville lost his toad again. Have any of you seen it?" the boys shrugged. It was then that she noticed me. Her eyes narrowed a bit.

"Hi." Skye said simply. Hermione looked to Harry.

"This is Hermione Granger, Skye. Hermione, This is Skye Hallowell." Harry smiled up at the girl, who eyes went from narrowed to surprise.

"You're A Hallowell? As in, The Charmed Ones?" She sat down abruptly next to her. "Are you the Daughter?" She asked.

"Yeah. My mom is Phoebe." She said softly. Hermione gasped and she looked up in slight alarm.

"Then that means your dad is a demon, right?" Skye blushed with embarrassment and looked up to see the shock on Harry and Ron's faces.

"Yeah... He is." She said it as if it was normal but with modesty. They just stared. Once again, the door opened to reveal... (DUN DUN DUN!) Draco! He smirked at Skye and then Harry and Ron.

"Got yourself a girlfriend Potter?" Draco said with a sneer.

"She is not my girlfriend." Harry said defensively. Draco's smirk turned into a grin.

"Then you won't mind if I take her for a while... Show her around." He said stepping inside.

"I wouldn't go anywhere with you, Malfoy." Skye said with a frown. Draco frowned as well. Apparently, he didn't like rejection. She glared at him.

"You are seriously rejecting me?" he asked with a dangerous look. Skye just stared at him. If he thought he could scare her, he was wrong.

"Yes. I am." She said simply.

"You don't know what you just did, girl." She still just stared at him. Nothing there but a frown on her face. He glared and walked out with his goons close behind, also glaring. Skye shrugged and sat back down. Moments passed and she noticed that it was steadily becoming quieter.

"Do you feel a chill?" Hermione asked as she shivered. Everyone just stared at the door. A shadow passed and stopped in front of it. Skye felt chills up her spin as she watched. It slowly slid open and a hand came into view.

"d…d-d-dementors…." Ron couldn't hold the fear that glided across his words. He looked at Harry and the color drained away. Skye turned just as Harry started screaming.

"The voices! Make it stop!" He yelled. The man, who was sleeping by the corner, was wide awake and now trying to fend off the dementors while the others were trying to wake Harry. He had fainted and Skye glared up at the dementors.

"How dare you…" she said calmly and dangerously to the black hooded creatures. The things looked at her with indifference. It grabbed her neck and she heard something. Harry was screaming… and someone else. A woman. Yes a woman was screaming. Then an echoing evil laugh that filled her head. She heard more screaming, but she couldn't tell who it was…. Maybe it was the woman. 'Don't hurt my baby! Leave him alone!" More screaming with a flash of green light. The screaming stopped and was replaced with the sobs and figure of someone else. Dark hair with dark tear filled eyes. Skye looked at her strangely and when the woman looked up to see her, she smiled a tearful smile. The woman hugged her and smiled again before the image faded and was replaced by harsh light.

"Wha-?" Skye looked up to see George hovering over her. Ron and Hermione were near Harry who was also just waking. The man gave Harry something.

"Now I want you to eat this. I am going to give some to Skye too. It will make you both feel better." He said giving Harry chocolate and handing some to Skye. They looked at it a moment and ate it all. Skye felt much better and she was guessing Harry did too. The whistle blew. Skye jumped slightly at the sudden sound as she looked from the window and to the castle.

Teehee. Yes. It is finally up. The third chapter. It was longer than I expected but hey. Whatever. I hope you all enjoyed it. It might be a while till the next one. School is a killer. R&R
