If I mentioned Remus already, and it doesn't exactly go with what I am writing in these upcoming chapters, I am sorry, my mind is a bit forgetful.
"I-Pfft, what?- Hermione come on. Let's go!" Ron said, grabbing Hermione's hand and leading her away.
"Bye Hermione!" I yelled after her, partially just to mess with Weasley.
"Come on, Tonks! Let's go see the new broom at the Quidditch supplies store!" I said, dragging her along with me.
RPOV
I hugged Tonks tightly.
"I'll miss you! Write to me!" I said, letting her go and grabbing my trunk.
"Alright, as long as you write to me!" She called back as I rushed towards the Hogwarts Express, I was so late. I waved goodbye one last time as the train lurched, and started moving forward. I moved through the halls, trying to find an empty compartment. Or one that had one more seat open. Of course it would be just my luck that the only compartment with any room would be the one with Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Stupid Ron.
"Hey Hermione. Can I sit with you? Everywhere else is full!" I said, speaking only to Hermione. She nodded her head.
"Of course you can, Rita!" She said, ignoring the complaints of Potter and Weasley. Once I had sat down I noticed the fourth person in the compartment.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"We don't know. A teacher from the looks of it." Potter said, and I was quite shocked that he would even talk to me.
"R J L... Hmm must be his initials. He looks familiar..." I trailed off, tilting my head to the side a little, trying to figure out where I had seen him before.
"That's odd, maybe you saw him in Diagon Alley or something." Hermione said. I shook my head.
"No, I wouldn't remember him if that was it. I must have known him, or something." I said, still trying to figure out who the hell this person is. I shrugged, "Oh well, I guess I'll find out sooner or later." I pulled out one of the books that Tonks had found and given to me. It had been my mothers.
"What book are you reading?" Hermione asked.
"Pride And Prejudice, by Jane Austin" I said. She gasped,
"Really? I love that book!" She gushed, a huge smile on her face.
"I've never read it before, Tonks just found it in one of my Mums old boxes." I said, looking down at the book.
"Well your mother had very good taste!" She said, "Now read it!" I laughed and opened the book.
I didn't notice when the train started to slow down. But I did notice when it halted to a stop, and the lights flickered out.
"What happened?!" I shrieked, I really didn't like where this was going...
"The lights went out!" Someone-maybe Ron- said.
"Well thanks, captain obvious- ARGH!" I shrieked again as something fell on my feet.
"Hermione?" Someone asked.
"Ginny?" Hermione said from next to me.
The something- Ginny- got off of my feet, and I moved over so she could sit next to Hermione.
"I'm sorry whoever I tripped over!" Ginny called out.
"It's alright!" I said back, trying not to hyperventilate. I heard the compartment door slide open again, and I heard Harry and Ron yell.
"Sorry!" Someone called out.
"Neville?" I asked.
"Rita?" He said back.
"Ow, Neville!" Weasley said.
"Sorry."
"Neville, sit down already!" Harry said. It was getting much too crowded in here. Everyone continued to yell at each other for a moment, before the compartment lite up with light.
"Everybody quiet!" The professor yelled out, fully awake now. I could see that the glass on the windows and compartment door had frosted over, and it was much colder than I remembered it being. I shivered. A black figure past by the door, and it started to slide open. My scream caught in my throat as a mangled hand pulled the door back, and a black hooded figure glided in. I felt instantly freezing, and something else. I could hear someone yelling, almost screaming, in the background.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?!" I shrieked to no one in particular. I saw Harry spazz out and fall to the floor. The professor pointed his wand at the thing, and shouted a spell I have never heard before, and something white-silver flew out, and scared away the black thing. It instantly grew warmer, and the lights started to come back on. I sat in my spot, shivering, and too freaked out to move. RJL helped wake Potter up, and then he past around some chocolate.
"Who was screaming?" Harry asked. I shrugged.
"Harry, no one was screaming..." Hermione said. I looked at her with my eyebrows furrowed.
"What do you mean? Didn't anyone else hear screaming?" Potter asked.
"I did!" I spoke up, "Hermione, how did you not hear it?" I asked.
"Because no one was screaming, Rita." She said. The teacher came back in from wherever he went, and looked at everyone, doing a double take on me.
"Is everyone all right?" He asked. I nodded along with everyone else.
"Good." He said.
"Professor, what was that thing?" Hermione asked.
"It was a dementor." He said. my eyes grew wide and I gasped.
"Dementor?! What are they doing here?!" I said, trying to stop from freaking out. Again.
"Sent by the Minister, to protect the school from Sirius Black." He explained.
"Oh. I guess that makes sense..." I said, going back to my book.
I ignored the whole sorting, not really caring. I barely ate at dinner, mostly just pushing my food around my plate.
"I'll see you later, Hermione. I'm going up to bed." I said.
"Already? But you barely ate anything!" She said.
"I don't feel very good. G'night, Mione." I said before walking out of the Great Hall and towards the Gryffindor Tower.
