Chapter 7-The Conductor
The maniac in the bus, seemed to be reading from a sheet of paper, he was quite young and looked as if he had just left school, his face remained covered in pimples. After helping Harry up, and gathering his belongings Orval stormed up to the bus man who seemed to still be reading a piece of paper.
"and for Fourte- "
"YOU IDIOT YOU ALMOST KILLED US" Orval interrupted, enraged at his lack of concern for the situation.
The maniac closed his sheet of paper, still unconcerned about the situation. When he looked at Orval more annoyed than afraid, then at Harry who had finally dragged his broom and broom servicing kit. When the maniac looked at his scar on his forehead his eyes went round. Noticing this Harry started to flatten his fringe over the scar but the damage had been done. Insensitively he half asked and half demanded "are ou Harry Potter?".
Harry nodded, as the maniac's face started to become star struck, he immediately forgot Orval existed and started shaking Harry's hand enthusiastically, whilst ignoring his eyes and looking at his scar. Harry on the other hand seemed to be looking for a way out.
"I'm Stan by the way and the driver is Erin and- "he was going off rapidly
"We're in quite a hurry, how much" Orval interjected off heartily, his anger evaporating as his desire to get going increase, wondering if M.A.C knew this would happen. "oh don't worry about you travel for free, anything for the one who killed You-know-who, in fact you get the VIP suite, top floor no one else is there at the moment so you travel for free, I'll carry you bags" he collected the birdcage and suitcase but found it too heavy but insisted he do it himself. Deciding to leave the suitcase for later he took the birdcage and led them to the third deck. Orval noticed that everyone seemed to be transfixed on Harry, particularly his scar, in fact almost transfixed by it. As Stan introduced Harry to everyone Orval started to think that Harry wanted privacy as badly as he did. Eventually Stan led them to the suite and left to get Harry's suitcase. It was designed very much like a hotel, complete with a bathroom, shower, several beds and even radio, though the radio was out-dated.
Orval sat down on one of the armchairs whilst Harry lied down on one of the beds. Orval started to reflect on his first interaction with the Wizardry world. Of how back water it was, how no concern nor interest it was about the real world around them and how transfixed they were with Harry. The last part was understandable, he had killed Voldemort but what he couldn't understand was what the big deal was about his scar.
