The night before September the 1st Jack, being the responsible (and nagged into it) boy he was checked over his things for Hogwarts one more time and placed the trunk holding everything in the Globe Room so tomorrow all they had to do was snowglobe to Kings Cross Station.

"Ok, so that's robes, books, pyjama's, wand, broomstick and Quidditch robes, new parchment, actual pens – Must thank Annie for that when I see her, pranking supplies, gardening gloves for Herbology, Potions things, treats for Archie, and Archie's cage." Jack said checking the list happily finding he had everything.

He also checked he had a medium sized bag of Wizard Money so he could buy things to snack on, on the train.

With that all sorted, Jack closed the lid of the trunk, locked it and went to bed.

The following morning, at breakfast (everyone was there so they can see Jack off from the station) North pulled Jack aside while they were both waiting for their toast.

"Jack, I want you to be extra careful this year," North said quietly as though he didn't want the others to hear "I have been having a bad feeling in my tummy since that day at Diagon Alley."

He said before Jack could ask questions.

"Well, do you know what's making your tummy feel like that?" Jack asked poking the fat man's belly "Might have just been something you ate or..."

"Jack I think – I know something bad will be happening at Hogwarts this year," North said firmly.

Then Jack remembered what Harry had told him and Hagrid about Dobby and his warning basically saying the same thing North was saying now.

"Ok," Jack said backing down and looking to North "I will try and be more careful than I was last year. Promise."

Nodding, happy with that, North gathered his toast which had just popped up and went back to the table.

When they were all done and Jack took a dose of 'Make Me A Human Potion' they snowglobed to Kings Cross Station.

It was 10:45 as they stepped though the portal and spotted the Weasley's and Harry, all looking stressed, hot, bothered, and annoyed.

"Hi guys!" Jack called out waving and smiling.

"What? Oh. Hello Jack dear," Mrs Weasley said calming down a little "You just make it here too?"

"Yes actually," Tooth said looking at all the red-heads "Although I can see we had it easier."

Over by the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 the line of Weasley's was forming to get onto Platform 9 ¾ .

"Percy's first." Mr Weasley called out and the eldest brother guided his cart to the wall and ran through it.

Jack looked up at the clock, somehow it now said it was 10:55, even though he was sure this conversation had not taken 10 minutes.

Next to go were Mr Weasley along with Fred and George, both twins waving to Jack as they did.

"Right then," Mrs Weasley said turning to Jack, Ron and Harry "I'll take Ginny and you three can come after us."

Nodding they boys watched them go towards the wall and in a blink of an eye, they were gone.

"Let's all go together," Ron suggested "We've only got a minute."

Agreeing, Jack and Harry both checking their owls cages were balanced on their trunks properly they started to head for the wall.

Jack was at the back, listening to the wind rushing past him.

'Wall not safe.' it said 'Portal not there.'

"GUY'S STOP!" Jack called slamming the breaks on his own trolley as he said this, but Harry and Ron were already going too fast to stop and...

CRASH!

They both ran head first into the wall and bounced backwards with Ron's trunk sliding off and Hedwig, Harry's Snowy Owl, rolling along the station crying out in her cage.

Worried, the Guardians came to see if they were alright, telling the people who was watching and muttering about 'Animal Cruelty' because of Hedwig that everything was alright and that they boys just lost control of the trolley.

"Jack how did you know?" Bunny asked in a whisper as Tooth was checking Ron and Harry over.

"The Wind told me as we were running," Jack said waling up to the wall and placing a hand onto it trying to find out why the barrier had done this.

Just then, the clock above them chimed saying it was 11 o'clock.

"It's gone," Ron said dully "The trains left. And what if Mum and Dad can't come back? Do either of you have any Muggle Money?"

Harry gave a hollow laugh saying the Dursley's haven't given him pocket money in about six years, not counting the 50 pence he got from them last Christmas.

Jack shook his head as well saying that if he had back home, it wouldn't be pounds but rather dollars.

"Ok, mates," Aster said seeing they wizards were starting to panic which normally lead to most people doing stupid things. "The best thing to do is not to panic, and calmly come up with a plan."

"Well... I have one," Jack said after a bit "But seeing as the train's already gone, meaning there's no point going to the station..." he said slowly to think about it "We might want to send either Archie or Hedwig with a note to say what we're doing so they don't get mad."

"Jack, please just say what your idea is," North said pinching the bridge of his nose having a feeling he knew what it was anyway.

"We use one of your snowglobes," Jack said looking to him.

"Will that work?" Tooth asked unsure saying there was protective spells around the castle.

"Might is we do as the boy says and send a note," Bunny said, getting a nod and a thumbs up from Sandy.

Not really seeing any other way, everyone agreed to this plan, rolling the trolleys back out of the station so they didn't attract any unwanted attention.

Digging through his trunk, Jack pulled out a pen and some parchment and wrote:

'To Dumbledore

Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and myself (Jack Frost) will be using one of North's snowglobes to get to school because the barrier is closed and the train has already left.

From Jack'

Quickly Jack rolled it up and gave it to Archimedes seeing as Hedwig was still upset and sent him off.

"Ok, the message is on its way," Bunny said looking at the clock "I suggest we have an early lunch and wait for it to get there. Don't want you turning up before the warning, do we?"

Agreeing, Tooth and North went to a burger van parked a little ways away and came back with one beef burger each.

At 12:30, everyone was done and North told the boys to follow him into a dark alleyway.

"Ready?" he asked them getting a nod and a smile from Jack and more nervous ones from Ron and Harry.

"Hogwarts..." North said spinning the globe over swirling the magic inside and then, once the castle was there, smashed it against the wall.

"Bye guys," Jack said to the Guardians and holding his trunk and Archie's cage stepped through.

"You will tell my Mum and Dad me and Harry are ok right?" Ron asked them as Harry stepped through too.

"Of course," North said getting nods of agreement from the others.

Nodding himself, Ron took hold of his things and stepped through too.

They came out along the stone bridge leading up to the castle.

"Couldn't this thing have dumped us closer to the doors?" Ron asked moping a little.

"The type of magic used for North's snowglobe is one you should not question, young Padawan." Jack said in a mysterious voice.

"Huh?" Ron asked confused.

"Nothing," Harry said before Jack could confuse Ron further "Let's just get going."

Nodding Ron grabbed his trunk and he and Harry started dragging them along.

Jack on the other hand opened his and pulled out his wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa," he said pointing it to his trunk, smirking. "What?" he asked seeing their faces "We're technically on school grounds now right? So... this should be allowed."

Grinning he took off running "Race you to the door!" he called back.

Rolling their eyes and seeing he did have a point, Ron and Harry, after they set Hedwig out who flew to the Owlery did the same hover spell and ran after him.
