Chapter 3

Before long it was time for me to head to the station to take the train to Hogwarts. Tom had, once again, kept me inside my room. Thankfully I had gotten my Kinetic Ring, Shield Bracelet, and Blasting Rod from the goblins. Rod and ring fully enchanted, bracelet fully engraved. I didn't trust a magical school as far as I could throw it. Anything could happen when you have a whole bunch of kids learning magic from different masters. I just hope that none of them was like my old master, Justine.

I placed Bob in a box and took him with me down to a car that would take me to the station. Upon arriving the man that was to make sure that I got onto the platform wove past people that were making their way to the 'other' trains and directed me on now to get onto the platform. Personally running at a wall was as stupid as going up against a demon. However, I did as I was told and found myself on the platform. I went to look for a compartment.

Suddenly I ran into someone. A girl with bushy brown hair and a look on her face that told me one thing, don't mess with me.

"Watch where you're going," she demanded.

"Sorry," I said and she looked me right in the eyes and I slipped right into a soulglaze.

What I saw almost made me scream in delighted happiness. Karrin Murphy, in all her troubles and scars, stood before me.

"Karrin, its Harry. Harry Dresden."

She stared at me.

"Prove it," she demanded.

"You've told me that my duster belongs on the set of El Dorado and you had that ghost demon cut into your soul."

She shuttered.

"Don't ever remind me of that," she snarled, "Don't you ever remind me of that, so help me Harry."

"I promise," I said, "Hells Bells, Karrin, what are you doing here? Not that I'm not grateful."

"I don't know," she said, "I woke up in this body and then this old woman shows up and tells these people that must be Hermione Granger's parents that I'm a witch and that I'm going to a place called Hogwarts."

"Lets' go and find a place where we can talk."

"Sounds fine with me," Karrin said and we went to look for a compartment.

When we found one I told her all that had happened. She stared at me and then got mad when I told her what Mab wants me to do.

"I can't believe that your still under her service," she said.

"Murph, I don't like it either," I said, "But this Tom Riddle fellow must be bad for Mab to want gone."

"Do you think that he might pose a danger to the courts?"

"I think so," I said, "Oh Bob's here."

"Harry, how are you going to hide Bob?" Karrin asked me.

"I'll find a way," I told her.

The train started to move and we spent time talking about this world that we were now in. The train had just left London when there was a knock on the door. I saw a red headed boy standing there. Before I could say 'enter' he opened it and came in, leaving half his power behind.

"I'm looking for Harry Potter."

"Not in this compartment," I told him.

"Fine," he said and he left.

"Why is he looking for someone name Harry Potter?" Karrin asked me.

"Probably to make political friends or something," I said, "I feel sorry for the kid, having this fame and not wanting it."

"Yeah, but your him now."

"Don't remind me," I said.

"I see that you got your shield bracelet and ring," she said.

"Yeah, the goblins made them for me," I told her, "I'm not about to enter a school of magic without some kind of defense."

"Sounds like a good idea."

No one bothered us for the whole morning and then, after lunch, the compartment opened and a blond boy with two goons appeared. He reminded me of Johnny in Chicago, but without the years of experience. I had met him in Diagon Alley, when I went to get my robes, and I didn't like him then and I sure as hell didn't like him now.

"There saying up and down this train that Harry Potter is in this compartment. Well, so it was you that I met at Madam Malkins."

I saw Karrin get tense, her training kicking in.

"Sorry, not him," I said.

He grinned at me.

"I see that you have some food left," he said. "We have already eaten all of ours."

"Come here the treats and I'm taking you down," Karrin threatened.

They laughed, which wasn't a good idea. Children aren't the same as adults. They can't do any damage! But Karrin, no matter what body she's in, can. Add the fact that Karrin now had access to magic, made her able to cause more damage. The boy thought that he was able to match us because he had two large boys and we were just two small kids.

My winter powers are low, but getting stronger as we get further away from Midsummer. However I didn't have to use any of my winter powers, not when you have a girl that has the training of a woman that went through the police academy. Before any of them could do anything Karrin had not only taken them down but set fire to their new robes. I laughed as they ran out of the compartment, the smell of burning cloth behind them.

"Let's hope that they learn their lesson," I told her.

"Well I can always give them a repeat lesson," she told me.

I laughed again.

The boys didn't come back and I knew that I would soon find out who they were when we got to the school. That time soon came. Karrin went off to change and when she came back I felt the train start slowing down.

"We're almost there," I told her.

She sighed, going white.

"Here's to whatever we face, Harry," she said.

I grinned at her, putting my hand on hers.

"And we'll face it together, like always."

She nodded and then the train came to a stop.

A/N: Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews and suggestions. And if anyone wants to know, it will be Harry and Murphy (Harry/Hermione) pairing. There's no way that Harry is abandoning Karrin after all the things that they've been through.
