Chapter Two
The weird thing about the three of them is that they live on their own. Lin's 19 so she leased an apartment that they all moved into. None of them ever knew their fathers, and Drake and Kris' mother died giving birth to them. Lin's mom died giving birth to her little brother, who also didn't make it. That's when the three of them met. They were all sent to the same orphanage and grew up together. When they turned 5 (Lin-&), they made a vow that they would be as bad as they could so that the three of them would never be separated and one day would move out together.
So now here they are, packing for a plane that leaves in 3 hours. Hectic is an understatement for what is going on right now. Tempers are definitely flying high as all three cram into the back of a cab to get to the airport on time.

"It's about time," Drake said as they finally got off the plane. "A 5-hour flight with some 10-year-old kicking the back of your seat is not what I would call relaxing."
"Cheer up Drake," Kris replied. "We're here. Let's just get to our hotel room, settle in, and then go exploring." Lin and Drake both nodded.
"Wait," Drake said suddenly, "I thought we weren't allowed to check in until 2. It's only 10:30 in the morning."
"We can at least go see," Lin replied. "I don't exactly fancy running around London with two suit cases.
"I agree," Kris told them. "Now, we're supposed to take the King's Cross to Station 87 and take a cab to Master's Inn. Well," she said under her breath, "would you look at that. The King's Cross station in Harry Potter is real." They all looked at each other, trying not to burst out laughing as they made their way to King's Cross.
They had just reached the train station at two minutes until 11. There were more people than they originally thought there would be at this time of morning. Probably people going to work. Everyone was definitely in a frenzy. People were running all over the place. Just as they were passing through, a bunch of people knocked into them and they flew towards the barrier. But then something amazing, unbelievable, something they never thought could have happened, happened. Instead of flying into the brick like most people would have, they flew through it, ending up on the other side in front of a big train. They were pulled to their feet by a guy wearing a bathrobe and pointed hat.
"What are you doing?" the guy screamed. "The train's going to leave in less than a minute!" He grabbed their bags and quickly threw them into a carrier trunk as the trio got to their feet. "Now hurry and get on the train before it leaves without you!" He pushed them to the door, ignoring their protests than they weren't supposed to be on this train. They couldn't do anymore, though, as they were thrown to the floor by the sudden jerk of the train moving.
"Well," Drake said, breaking the silence, "this trip is going just as planned." Lin and Kris gave him a look that just plain said Shut the fuck up.
Kris got to her feet.
"Since there's nothing we can do," she started, "we might as well make the most of it, find a seat, and figure out where this train leads." Drake and Lin looked at her incredulously but got up and followed her anyway.
At the very end of the train, they found an empty compartment and took that as their seat. Just as they were getting settled and close to falling asleep (you know, jet lag), the door slid open and three kids around their age walked in.
"Hi," they all said simultaneously. Drake, Lin, and Kris chose not to reply. "OK," the taller boy with bright red hair said slowly, "do you mind if we sit in your compartment? All the others are full." Drake pointed to the seat while Lin nodded, but Kris just closed her eyes and slammed her head against the window again, willing herself to sleep. The boy who sat beside her, however, did not want her to sleep.
"Are you ok?" he asked softly. Kris looked and him, really seeing him this time. He had jet-black hair that didn't seem to want to stay flat, and the most brilliant green eyes she had ever seen, hidden behind black-framed glasses. Kris was actually quite surprised at how much he resembled Drake.
"Who are you?" she asked instead of answering his question.
"I'm Harry," he replied. "What's your name?"
"Why?"
"Don't mind her," Drake cut in. Harry and the other two looked to him. "She has a hard time trusting people. Comes with growing up in an orphanage." He extended his hand. "I'm Drake, this is Lin, our best friend," he pointed beside him, "and she's Kris, my twin sister." Harry, the redhead, and a brunette all took turns shaking his hand.
"This is Ron," he said, pointing to the redhead, "and that's Hermione. They're my best friends." Kris, Drake, and Lin looked at the three of them more closely. They knew they had never seen them before, but somehow they seemed very familiar. Before they had never seen them before, but somehow they seemed very familiar. Before they could inquire about it, though, the compartment door slid open and three guys walked in.
"Oh of course," Harry started sarcastically, "the train ride's never complete without a visit from Malfoy and his goons." He threw his hands emphatically in the air and sighed heavily.
"Malfoy?" Drake asked. The tall, very good-looking blonde boy nodded.
"Yes Malfoy. Draco Malfoy to be exact. Who are you?" Drake didn't answer, just looked from Lin to Kris that said what the hell is going on. Kris spoke next.
"As in Lucius Malfoy's son?" He nodded again, this time looking confused. "And are you two Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle?" The two big guys behind him nodded. She then turned to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "And you three and Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger?" They nodded. Kris looked to Drake and Lin and saw the surprised look an their faces. "You two come with me, we need to talk." Drake and Lin nodded and followed her out of the room past Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle to a deserted part of the corridor.
"How is that possible?" Lin exclaimed as soon as they were out of earshot.
"I don't know," Kris replied, "but what I do know is that it happened, which means that we are most likely on the Hogwarts Express on our way to Hogwarts."
"Maybe we're in an alternate universe," Drake suggested. Lin and Kris glared at him. "Or maybe it's just a dream, like we really did hit the brick and got knocked out."
"What are the odds that we all are having the same dream, though?" Kris asked. The others didn't have an answer to that. Lin broke the silence.
"We should probably keep this quiet, you guys. Not let anyone know what we know. Maybe this is happening for a reason." Kris and Drake silently agreed.
At the same time back in the compartment, the Gryffindor trio was just getting started in their annual battle with Malfoy and his goons
