Chapter 6

Harry took his trunk to the doorway. Mr. Weasley was waiting for everyone in a ministry car he brought. They all were getting ready in the last few minutes, "come on, quick" Harry heard Mrs. Weasley shout at Fred and George who were still upstairs in their room. "Come on Ginny, Harry" she said, turning to them. "Where's Hermione?" Ron asked, looking around. "She's putting the last books in her trunk" said a voice from the kitchen. Chris came from there holding a mug of water and smiling at them all. "Good morning dear" Mrs. Weasley said to her, smiling. "Good morning to you Mrs. Weasley" she replied, "I see that everyone is ready" she said, now turning to them. Harry noticed that her smile had faded a little, "yeah, aren't you coming with us?" he asked, frowning. "Oh, no, I should stay" she answered, "I don't want to bother you". "No dear, you won't" Mrs. Weasley said, holding her arm, "you go with them, and I'll stay" she said, smiling. "Well, OK then" Chris said, and then she went upstairs again. She came back wearing beautiful pair of jeans and a very nice looking blue T. shirt that said: Love. "That's very nice dear, you seem to know all about muggle clothes" Mrs. Weasley was eyeing her cloths. "Because I'm muggle born" she said, "I'm used to wearing these things". They all gathered next to Mr.Weasley's car and got in quickly. "Hurry up Arthur" Mrs. Weasley said, "We have to be there quickly".

They didn't talk all the way to the station; Chris was looking forward to see how was the train that was leaving to Hogwarts, looked like. They arrived at 11 to 5 minutes. They ran until they arrived between platforms 9 and 10. Chris didn't understand anything, but she followed them. "Come on Ginny, you first with Fred and George" Mrs. Weasley panted, and ushered Ginny towards the wall. Chris was going to scream, because Ginny was running as fast as she could towards the wall, as though wanting to hit herself. But to Christina's amazement, Ginny, Fred and George entered the wall as though there was nothing there. "Come on Ron, Hermione, Harry" Mrs. Weasley said then. Ron and Hermione did the same and 'entered' the wall, Harry on the other hand turned to Chris and said, "come in, don't you want to have a look at the train?" he asked. "I…" but Mrs. Weasley said, "come dear, go on, do the same thing" Chris was scared, but there was no time. Harry held her hand and ran with his trunk towards the wall. Chris was so scared now that she was facing the wall. They ran so fast, and Chris saw the wall getting nearer and nearer, and then…she closed her eyes and felt something rushing against her, and then…"Open your eyes" she heard Harry's voice. She obeyed him, letting her eyes open to the sight of a huge, red train in front of her. "Oh my…" she was speechless. "Come on" he said quickly, "I'll be late" he was dragging her towards the door. "Harry, don't…" she couldn't let him go, she didn't want to let him…"I can't stay here, you know that" he said, looking at her, "but as I promised you, I'll come back to you at Christmas, I promised" he finished, smiling at her sadly. "But you'll come back for..." she lowered her voice, "the Time Turner thing" she said, her beautiful eyes now tearing up a bit. "Don't worry about that" he said, then his hand let go of hers and he headed towards the door and entered, the door closed. He ran to the nearest window and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll see you soon" he said, as she ran towards the window, "you'll be fine" he said, but she couldn't hear him, the whistle of the train was so high. She ran to keep up with the train, but it was so fast now, she looked at Harry's face and his hand was waving at her, she waved back as the train turned and Harry was gone, out of sight.
