Chapter 3: A Rough Journey.
A few days later, Harry, Ginny, Accalia, Hermione, Ron and Lupin had packed their bags and were waiting on the platform for the Hogwarts express.
"It's never been late before." stated Hermione.
"There's a first time for everything." replied Accalia.
"Here it comes!" Lupin announced. They all peered down the track to see and sure enough, there it was.
"I have to go to the tachers carriage so I'll come and check on you later." Lupin said.
"So you are going to be teaching?" Harry asked hopefully.
"No, Harry. That's why he's going to the teacher's carriage." Accalia said sarcastically.
"Yes. I'm teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts again if you were wondering, and Dumbledore's explained the situation to the parents so all is well." Lupin replied. "Goodbye for now." he said and boarded a different section of the train.
"Oh yeah. Ron and I have to go to the prefects carriage." Hermione reminded them.
"Yeah. Sorry guys. We'll see you later too." Ron added and they both boarded aswell.
"That just leaves us then." Accalia stated and she, Harry and Ginny boarded.
They walked through the train twice, but the only spaces left were one spare seat in a carriage at the end and two spare seats in a compartment at the front.
"It's okay. You two can sit together. Tell me if someone moves. I might aswell try and make some new friends." Accalia said to Harry and Ginny, and began making her way to the other compartment with her suitcase.
Forty five minutes had passed eventlessly, so Accalia decided to go and visit Harry and Ginny.
"Hi, guys." she said from the doorway. Harry and Ginny were about to reply when the train jerked to a stop and the lights went out.
"Ow!" Accalia yelled.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Stupid...bloody hair...whipped me in the eye...tying it up..." she muttered angrily and tied her hair up into a ponytail with the hair tie on her wrist.
Suddenly, they heard screaming from further up the train and blasts.
"What the-" Accalia began, but a closer blast knocked her to the compartment floor. They all turned to look at the door and saw a blaack, cloaked figure towering over them.
"Dementor?" Harry asked nervously, although he knew it probably wasn't as he would've fainted by now. Accalia shook her head.
"Deatheater." she replied whilst getting up. "This is for knocking me over." she said to the deatheater, raising her wand.
"Soloriens Fluctus!" she yelled and a huge red beam shot out from the end of her wand and blasted the deatheater through the door and into the opposite compartment.
"Ooops. Didn't mean to hit him that hard. I forgot we were on a train." she said, blushing slightly and shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"Ginny, go get Ron and Hermione. Accalia and I'll go see Lupin." Harry ordered. Ginny nodded and went down the left of the train. Accalia and Harry went down the right and Accalia said a quick 'sorry' to the people in the opposite compartment, who were still looking scared, and set off to the teachers carriage.
