Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I do own all the books and movies accept the last 20 minutes of HP3 because it didn't get on the tape.
A/N: Now chapter 2, the train ride. Not probably one of my best chapters here but it might be pretty good I guess. I'm going against the book here and putting Fred and George in with Harry and his friends.
Chapter 2
"I'm sorry Harry but our sheets say to go to the prefect's compartment," Hermione said. She looked worriedly from Harry to Ron.
"Don't worry mate, I don't think we have to stay there the whole ride," Ron stated.
"It's fine guys. I'll just go of and find a compartment. I'll see you later?" Harry said. The last sentence seemed like a question but there was nothing he could do about it. His two best friends in the world were leaving him. He still didn't see why Dumbledore didn't make him a prefect.
"Hey Harry!" George pocked his head in the compartment he was sitting in.
"May we grace you with our presence?" Fred asked sticking his head in to.
"Sure," Harry sighed. Fred looked at him seeing the hurt in his eyes. He could tell he missed Ron and Hermione. With the added weight of all the publicity he was getting that was enough to kill a guy.
"Well, I think I'll go and find Lee where-ever he is," George said feeling the tension in the compartment.
"Well, see ya George!" Fred called to his twin. After he was sure George was far enough away he turned to Harry. "Hey, just for reference Ron is really disappointed about becoming prefect. He never did want that position. Sure he likes all the attention from mum and dad," he started. "What I'm trying to say is that Ron would never risk his friendship with you for prefect duties. Besides when he was mad at you last year he started hanging out with us and all he talked about was you. Wasn't really positive stuff but he talked about you."
"Thanks Fred," Harry said looking up at him. "I guess I'm worried now that they are both prefects they won't want to help me go along with any of our rule-breaking plans."
"You're kidding right Harry!" Fred said laughing. "Now, just because they are prefects doesn't mean they won't go rule-breaking with you. But if they do ditch you would you be interested in joining George, Lee and myself?"
Harry laughed as Fred stated all these crazy plans they were planning to play this year. He hadn't felt this good for a while now. What with all the publicity it was good just to sit in here with Fred and talk about nothing at all.
"Now for the question of the hour," Fred started. "Out of all the girls in the school, which one do you fancy the most?" he laughed at the pondering face of his friend.
"Well…Cho is pretty, and she is really nice so I say it's her," Harry said smirking up at Fred. "And for you it's?"
"Well, promise not to tell anyone but for a while now I've taken particular attention to Hermione," Fred said. He could feel the heat rising up on his cheeks but he didn't seem to care with Harry sitting beside him.
"Well, I think I could get you a date with her sometime," Harry said winking at him.
"Well, well, well, what are we up to here?" asked Lee as he and George walked in.
"Oh, we would just be contemplating all the fanciable girls in school," Fred said smiling at George and Lee in a way that said 'see what you were missing'.
"Oh let me say someone!" chorused Lee, "Katie Bell. Now she is pretty damn good looking!" The foursome burst out laughing and this continued for the rest of the train ride.
"Hey Harry!" Hermione shouted as she walked up to the empty spot on the table. Ron lagged slightly behind her cursing under his breath.
"So, who'd you sit with on the train?" Ron asked suspiciously.
"Fred, George, and Lee," he answered simply. "They really aren't that bad to hang out with. Oh and Hermione, what do you think of Fred?" both Ron and Hermione's faces turned red at this point. Hermione's out of embarrassment and Ron's out of anger.
"What! That prat likes Hermione!" Ron shouted.
"Well, Fred is really nice to me now that you mention it. But, I suppose all these years I've thought of him as an older brother," Hermione said now blushing darker. Truth was Fred was more of a brother to her. He was more like her savior, and angel. What she couldn't talk about to Ron or Harry she could talk about with him.
Maybe when I think about it…
I guess I never really realized my feelings…
I never thought that I would have feelings for this person…
Never, I never would have feelings for her if…
Maybe I never would have felt this way if…
If you weren't there…
Weren't there for me when I needed someone most…
You were there when no one else was…
You were the one who cared for me most…
In a way that nobody else could…
You are my angel.
You are most certainly my angel.
Bold is Fred's thoughts. As I said this chapter wasn't really that interesting but I promise that next chapter will be. I might not get one up on Wednesday because I have to get ready for a band concert tomorrow (Tuesday).
