Chapter 3
It was September first. Students and parents were bustling around platform 9 and 3/4 saying goodbye and putting their luggage on the Hogwarts Express. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, found a compartment in the back where a sleeping man sat in the corner.
"I suppose we'll just have to sit in here. Every where else is full." Hermione said sitting down. "So who's this guy? I've never seen an adult on the train before." Ron said. "He's professor R. J. Lupin, our new defense against the dark arts teacher." Hermione replied. "How do you always know everything Hermione?" Ron asked. "It's written on his trunk." Hermione said pointing up at the luggage rack.
Lily looked up at the peeling letters R. J. Lupin and then back at the man. It's Remus! He did always want to be a Hogwarts teacher! But wow he looks old... Lily thought. Has it really been that long?
"Are you sure he's asleep?" Harry asked. "Yes, why?" Hermione replied. "Because I have to tell you guys something." Harry said. So Harry told them what Ron's dad told him.
"So Sirius Black escaped Azkaban to kill you? That's just creepy." Ron said. "You have to be very careful, Harry. Don't go looking for trouble." Hermione said. "I don't go looking for trouble it usually finds me." Harry replied. "Ow! Scabbers bit me!" Ron said.
Ron started sucking on his wounded finger and Lily looked over at Scabbers and Scabbers stared back. Lily recognized him and she could tell he recognized her as well. Peter. That little rat destroyed everything. Because of him Harry doesn't know either of his parents, James was killed, and Sirius went to Azkaban for some reason but I have a feeling it has to do with Peter. Lily could feel burning anger boiling up inside of her. She couldn't control it. She leaped out of Hermione's lap and pounced on him. "Crookshanks!" Hermione said picking up her struggling cat. "No, don't do that!" she scolded. "Scabbers, are you alright?" Ron said. "Keep that monster away from Scabbers!" "All cats chase rats Ron!" "Keep it down you two! You don't want to wake professor Lupin." Harry said.
It became very quiet in the compartment. But then they all heard a strange noise and the train slowly came to a stop.
"Why did we stop?" was heard all over the train. Then everyone felt a cold chill and everything went dark. They heard a thump on the floor as someone fell over.
Moments later, a looming dark creature stood in the doorway to their compartment. Lily knew what this horrible creature was. It was a dementor, a guard of Azkaban.
Remus immediately woke up and muttered something. A magnificent white light emitted from his wand and the creature dissapeard. Lily looked on the floor to see Harry getting up and Remus handing him some chocolate. Remus told them what it was and said he was going to go have a word with the train conductor. As he left, he gave her a small smile. It was good to know she was recognized by someone decent.
