Chapter 8
the Hogwarts Express
Harry didn't sleep at all that night. He kept thinking about the dream.
Was Siris's ghost trying to say something him?
The next day, the Weasley household was rushing with people.
Ron, Harry, Hermonie and Ginny were trying to get ready for the Hogwarts Express, Mr and Mrs. Weasley were trying to get them ready, and Fred and George were running around just for the heck of it.
At last, they made it to the Kings cross station.
At that exact same moment, Calvin and Hobbes were flying at light speed toward the wall between platforms nine and ten.
Harry, Ron, Hermonie, and Ginny raced through the wall.
Ten seconds later, Calvin and Hobbes flew in.
"EMERGENCY BREAK!" Calvin screamed to Hobbes. "MAKE SURE YOUR SEATBELT IS SECURELY SECURE!"
Hobbes checked, and Calvin slammed onto the breaks.
Both stopped.
However this time, Hobbes didn't go sailing out.
They jumped out of the box, and carried it into the Hogwarts Express.
"Lets see here." Said Calvin, "where to sit?"
"Let's look for Harry Potter, and sit next to him." said Hobbes.
"Say, good idea Hobbes."
Calvin dragged the time machine around, looking for Harry.
Who was in the very back of the train.
Along the way, Calvin and Hobbes ran into Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy stared at him.
"Who are you?" he snarled.
Calvin, recognizing Malfoy, screamed
"EAT HIM, EAT HIM!" Calvin turned to Hobbes.
He stared at Calvin as if asking "now?"
Malfoy and Crab and Goyle laughed.
Malfoy raised his wand. "First years are always fun to play with." he said.
"Densaugh..."
but Calvin cut him off.
He grabbed his wand and yelled "hocus pokus!"
four sets of eyes stared at Calvin as if he was insane.
Then Malfoy began his spell again.
"Den..."
"Abracadabra! Hocus cadabra! Abraca pokus! Hocus Pokus! Atlanta, Georgia!"
Calvin screamed, waving his wand in every direction.
Hobbes, Malfoy, Crab, and Goyle stared at Calvin in disbelief.
Malfoy and his gang, stepped away, as Calvin continued to scream "monkey! Chicken! Turkey! Lion!"
"Calvin, they're gone." said Hobbes.
Calvin opened his eyes and stopped babbling like an idiot.
"I knew that, Hobbes." Calvin said. "Now then, where is that darn Harry?"
Calvin and Hobbes continued their search. Then Calvin saw someone coming.
"Oh boy!" he said. "it's Nevil! I love how everyone hides his toad in his shirt."
Calvin whipped out his wand, and pointed it at Nevil.
Hobbes rolled his eyes as Calvin chanted; "puty toady iny littley shirty" over and over again.
Nevil stared at them as he passed by.
"Calvin, my friend," Hobbes said, patting Calvin on the shoulder. "I think even NEVIL is better at spells than you."
Calvin ignored him, and continued down the train.
Then Calvin saw someone else.
"We-E-ell! Look at that!"
Hobbes looked. Cho Chang was walking down the train with her new boyfriend.
Calvin grinned evilly. "Bwa ha, ha, ha" he said twiddling his fingers.
Calvin whipped out his wand, and pointed it at Cho.
"This one's for GROSS!" Calvin yelled.
Cho and her boy friend turned their heads and stared at Calvin.
Hobbes rolled his eyes, and backed up into a shadow so nobody could see him with Calvin.
"AGEING COCONUT!" Calvin screamed.
Nothing happened.
Calvin blinked.
"Ok." he said. "how about, DROOLING MONKEY!"
nothing happened.
Calvin sighed.
"Ok then."
Calvin reached into his never get bigger bag, and pulled out his vicious owl.
"ATTACK MY PET!" Calvin screamed, pointing at Cho and her boy friend, who at the moment were staring at Calvin as if he was insane.
The owl's head shot around and fixed on the two love birds.
It stared at them with it's one, red, eye ( remember, it had an eye patch on the other eye).
It let out a screech, flapped it's wings and took off snapping it's beck at the two sixth years.
They screamed, and ran away.
The owl was about to go after them when Calvin called; "WHOA, TIGER! WHOA!"
The owl hooted, and flew back to Calvin.
"That gave me an idea on what to name you." Calvin said. "I'm going to name you 'Flaming Death'! Or just 'FD' for short."
Calvin turned to Hobbes. "What are you going to name YOUR owl, Hobbes?" he asked.
Hobbes turned his head to the time machine where his owl perched.
(He had slept through this entire episode.)
"I'm going to name her 'Tuna'" said Hobbes smiling at the owl.
Calvin stared at the tiger.
"TUNA! What kind of stupid name is that?" he yelled.
"No, no" said Hobbes. "I didn't want to call her 'Tuna'" said Hobbes.
"THEN WHY'D YOU SAY TUNA THEN!" Calvin yelled.
"It's almost lunch time." said Hobbes.
Calvin rolled his eyes.
"I really want to name her 'Angel'. Don't you think that's nice?"
Calvin blinked. "Hobbes," he said. "you should be sued for animal abuse."
"No I shouldn't, should I, Angel?"
Angel hooted lovingly at Hobbes.
"See?" Hobbes said. "she likes her name. Don't you Angel? Yes you do. Yes you do."
Calvin rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Now WHERE IS HARRY!"
Hobbes stared at Calvin
"I do believe I saw him walk into the back."
Calvin stared at Hobbes.
"Why didn't you tell me that you fuzz brain!" he screamed at the tiger.
"I thought you already knew." replied Hobbes, flatly.
Calvin stared at Hobbes as if thinking of what to say to this "MORON OF UNDESCRIBABLE STUPIDITY" as he put it.
At last he just said "oh, Whatever." then he and Hobbes walked over to the back of the train.
Calvin was about to yank the sliding door open, When Hobbes pushed him aside and knocked.
There was a moment of silence, then the door slid open.
