Warning : Swear words.- I mean, there's only one, but, hey, better safe than sorry.
We eventually arrived at King's Cross station. We tried looking around for a sign that might show us the way to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and as expected, there was none.
Percy, being as reckless as he is, decided to ask other people for help. Everyone stared at him with the strangest looks on their faces, most likely thinking, "Is this kid out of his mind?"
They all shook their heads, and Percy came back with his head down.
"Ahem," Reyna intersected. "Chiron said that the thing we're supposed to be looking for is a metal thing." Percy looked up.
"Oh, well, yeah? It could be anything metal in this station." He walked up to a ticket box.
"I mean, look! Something metal!" He tried leaning against it, hands folded against his chest, legs crossed, but simply fell through it.
Reyna gasped.
"Percy! I think you've found it!" She sprinted towards him, me following behind. But a tingling pain hit my head for the first time in two days.
"Agh!" I groaned, knowing that my headache has come back. They both looked at me and then had a sort of telepathic conversation between each other. Percy got up and put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. It's normal for her. We tried helping back at camp, but the only thing that really helped was having her rest for a while."
Reyna nodded her head and turned back. What appeared right in front of us was an amazing scarlet red train with the words 'Hogwarts Express' propped onto the front. There were a few children screaming, running, and hugging their parents goodbye. The screaming obviously did not help my headache, but I got past it anyway. Platform Nine and Three-Quarters is like a normal platform. Except with the fact, there are people carrying cages with owls, some people have cats walking around them, and then there's the guy carrying a cactus.
We were arrived only a few minutes before the train leaves and man, time went fast. We hopped onto the train and started looking around for a place to sit. We did find an empty one, which was really surprising considering how crowded it looked outside.
Once we got settled inside, I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep. Nothing unusual happened, it was, well, normal. A few minutes later there was a knock on the doors. Oh no. Not another person I had to get used to. I knew a lot of annoying people back at my school, even if they never talked to me. Once in a while we would talk if we're bored, but really, we never entered each other's paths. Don't worry, I did have friends back at home.
Percy called out, "It's open!" My eyes cracked free at the noise.
In walked a boy with messy dark hair, emerald green eyes, and a pair of glasses.
"May I sit here? I want to make sure I don't get in a mess again," he said. I'm not sure what he meant, but he seemed nice enough.
"Sure," I answered. He nodded and sat down next to Percy.
"Well, my name is Percy. This is Reyna." He gestured his hand towards her. "And Jack." The boy nodded again.
"What's yours?" The look of surprise dawned over his face, he flushed in embarrassment.
He pointed to his chest. "Oh, me? I thought..." He acted like he never had to introduce himself before.
"My name is Harry Potter." A sudden realization washed over our faces.
We looked at each other. Percy jabbed his head towards him, almost as if he was saying, "That's the boy we need to make friends with!"
"Hey, do you happen to know when the train ride ends?" Percy questioned.
"Oh, pfft, yeah. We most likely won't get off until evening." He waved his hand.
"We're going to stay in here until evening? That's... never mind." He slumped down in his seat.
The moment didn't last long, as then the door slid open and in came a boy with platinum blonde hair with two ghoul looking hooligans following behind him.
"Ah, well if it isn't the new students? And I'm assuming you're mudbloods." Snickers were to be heard behind him.
Percy and Reyna raised their eyebrow, not knowing what was so funny. I mean, I don't know either but from the way this arrogant guy acts, to the way his "friends" responded to it, it doesn't sound good. It sounds like an insult. Harry stood up.
"Hey, don't ever say that ever again! You don't even know these people!" The boy's expression turned irritated.
"Oh, well if it isn't Potter. Let me do the talking." He looked towards us.
"Why aren't you guys talking? Just embarrassed to say that you come from a disgusting and filthy family?"
Silence.
"That's what I thought."
Okay, now I can tell he was trying to insult us. I could see the anger rising up to Percy, Reyna, and Harry's faces, including mine. With heat trickling up my head, I was not liking this guy. Then, Percy crossed his arms again.
"Well, I'm sorry but I think you're picking on the wrong people. No one insults our families like that, it's rude. Besides, we're half-bloods," he retorted. You could practically see an invisible hand of Reyna's slapping herself. The boy scoffed.
"As if I would believe such an unworthy lie like that. You've already made the wrong friends, but just so you know," he pointed at Percy. "-you don't want to get on my bad side. We're leaving." He then turned around and strutted out.
Percy stretched his arms and yawned. "That dude's a bitch." Harry rolled his eyes.
"Tell me about it."
Sorry for everything late about this. I'm back in school, and I already have some assignments due soon. This chapter is about 1,000 words so not much. It's also first draft, I haven't looked over it yet.
1. IcyFox17 - ANOTHER REVIEW! Thank you, I enjoy your compliments.
2. Rileym29 - A new reviewer! Your ideas are great, I have stated that this will not be a romance story but I can put in some flirtatious moments. They're going to be subtle, though. If you look hard enough you might find them later on.
That's honestly all I remember writing for the end. I might add in more, but right now I don't have the time.
DiD YOU knOW THAT HAMILTON IS IN LOS ANGELES NOW?
(Hopefully) You enjoy my story. - Awes0me
