1Chapter 8

"Harry," said Hermione. Come on Harry, it's time to wake up, we'll be there in five minutes!"

Harry slowly rose from were he lay, realized what had happened and got out his wand. "Stay away!" said Harry. I'll blast you, I'm serious!"

Hermione laughed as Ron walked into the room.

"You two dueling?" questioned Ron as he chuckled slightly. That would be an interesting fight, brains against bravery, the two B's."

"Ron, but...how are you here...where is here?" asked Harry, mouth agape at the sight of Ron.

Ron looked at Harry quizzically, before laughing.

"Harry, we're on the train, what are you talking about?" said Ron, now uncertain on whether Harry was serious or not. What's going on?"

It slowly dawned upon Harry what had happened. It had all been a dream. Just a...dream.

"Oh...oh it's nothing, I'm always a little awkward when I'm woken up," he said laughing as he put his wand in his back pocket. Sorry you guys."

As Hermione and Ron nodded, Harry put his baggage's into the red capsule. The dream had been so real. Harry couldn't believe it. Why had he dreamt of such a thing? What was dream and what was reality. Did Crabbe and Goyle really visit him? Was Malfoy really missing? That was doubtful. It seemed to Harry as if he fell asleep the moment he found his cabin.

"Did you guys see Malfoy at the prefect meeting?' inquired Harry in an offhand sort of way.

"No, he wasn't there," said Ron, expressing interest. I want to know why though, he couldn't of missed the train."

Harry now understood. Crabbe and Goyle's visit was not mere fantasy, but reality. Malfoy was missing and Harry didn't murder his best friend.

It looked like this was going to be another very long year.

a.n.- Told ya I wouldn't make Harry evil! It's really not my style. But the dream itself will have a large impact on the story, so don;t forget about it! . Oh and expect Percy in the next chapter as well. Btw, the Brain, from the previous chapter title was supposed to indicate the dream. You know, the brain is the center of activity for pictures created in your minds eye. It's the creator of dreams, in a sense. This chapter was almost an explanation rather than a real chapter, so that's why its so short. R&R plze!
