Chapter 4: The Hogwarts Express

Platform 9 ¾…

Piper was busy with the club, making sure that she found someone that was capable could look after it for the year. She was afraid she might have to sell out if she was now teaching at Hogwarts. Phoebe handed in her resignation to Elise, who didn't want to accept it but Phoebe had told her that she wouldn't be able to keep up with the column, so her final advice was given out to 'Lonely in Love' to be shown in the August 31st morning edition. Paige cancelled all of her temp jobs, explaining she had found a permanent job. Victor would be staying in the Manor, Phoebe had moved her things into Paige's room so he could stay in there. They told him he was welcome to stay as long as he wanted and if he wanted anything, he could call for Paige.

Soon enough, the time came for the Charmed Ones to be going to teach. They had been asked to arrive earlier so they could settle the children in one of the further back compartments. They would be meeting with the Prefects and Head Boy and Girl about 11:30, so Leo said that he could watch the kids. They arrived at 10am, GMT (London Time), but they had been trying to train their bodies to get ready to leave for England so they were there ok. They were pretty much ok with it now, just a little tired when Chris or Wyatt woke them up. After the third time it happened in one night, Paige put her wand to use and placed a silencing room around Piper and Leo's room.

They talked for 30 minutes until eager students started. Phoebe and Paige left the compartment to meet the students and wait for the Kinetic Charmed Ones. There were things that they needed to talk about, so if they could get them to come to the compartment near theirs. Phoebe spotted Harry, James and Lily run through the barrier 15 minutes later and they spotted them quick enough.

"Hi Phoebe, is everyone else already on?" James asked when Phoebe had walked over to them.

"Yeah, Paige is somewhere over there though." Phoebe pointed to a busier part of the platform. "We were wondering if the kids want to sit in the compartment next to us. Discuss some things about what we found out the other day."

"Ok, I'll get the others." Harry said. "Where is your compartment?"

"One of the end ones, I think there is only one from the very back of the train. See you there, ok?" Harry nodded and Phoebe went off to retrieve Paige and return to the carriages.

"There you are Harry!" A female voice came from behind them. He turned to find it belonged to Hermione Granger, his friend and fellow Kinetic Charmed One.

"Hermione! Hi, where's Ron and Ginny?" Harry asked.

A girl with red hair appeared through the barrier and attached herself to Harry. "Harry, hi, how are you?" Ginny said quickly, just glad to see her boyfriend again.

"I'm fine. As soon as Ron gets here, we need to go see Phoebe and her sisters. They want us to sit in the compartment next to them. And talk about the thing from the other day." The girls nodded.

"Oi, Harry! How you doing mate?" Ron Weasley walked through the barrier with his trunk. Molly and Arthur were just behind with Ginny's trunk. Harry grinned at Ginny.

"Couldn't wait to see me so you left your trunk with your parents huh?" He said to her.

"Maybe. You would have done the same for me."

"Absolutely." He kissed her gently before Molly and Arthur got there.

"Harry, how are you? Lily, James how are you feeling?"

"Sad. Our first and last time we see him off on the train." Lily said. "But at least we are here to see him off at least once. James and I watched him every year no matter what though."

"Well, lets get your trunks on the train then." Molly said. It took them less than 5 minutes to get to the end of the train and put their trunks on.

On The Hogwarts Express…

Harry led them to the last compartment and they waved to Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Leo on their way. The last compartment was empty but it seemed wider than the others they had previous years. They placed their trunks under the seats (Where I'm putting the storage for them) and Harry and Ron placed their cages for their owls on the seats.

"Hey there." Piper said to them, standing in the doorway. "How are you all?"

"We're good. We have to go to the front of the train at 11:30 so we can talk after that." Hermione said.

"That's fine. We have to go meet the prefects and Head Boy and Girl then."

"That's us, well except Ginny. Are you all going, or could someone stay with her?" Harry asked.

"Leo is staying here to watch the kids so you can come into ours and help him. Do you like children?"

"Yeah, I'd love to help him." Ginny said. She turned to Harry. "Now you don't have to worry about me now."

"Of course I'll worry, I'm your boyfriend." He kissed her on the cheek. Knocking could be heard on the window. They looked out to see James and Sirius making kissy faces at them. Harry scowled and vowed he would do something once he got to Hogwarts to get revenge. Lily was seen dragging them away and shouting something. The Kinetic Charmed Ones burst out laughing. Harry opened the window and looked out at his parents, Molly, Arthur, Sirius and Remus.

"Didn't think we'd not send you off, did you Harry?" Remus asked.

"Dunno. Maybe."

"Harry James Potter, get your head back inside that train right this instant!" Lily shouted at him.

"Oh fine then. See you all at Christmas!" He came back in and closed the window. He turned to the rest of them, Piper seemed to have left. "Well, what do we do now?" So for the next half an hour, they talked about everything. Ginny showed off her new kitten. She had yet to name it but Harry suggested Snowflake because her fur was pure white. At 11:20, they all left the compartment. Harry, Ron and Hermione left for the front of the train with Piper, Phoebe and Paige while Ginny went into sit with Leo.

Well, what do you think? I won't be doing what happened in the Prefect meeting, but there will be a little of Ginny and Leo talking. And a cameo by a very (cute!) familiar blond Slytherin will be making an appearance. Don't miss it! And a basket of cookies to the first person to review this chapter!
