Niko Mane: Ok, first of all, I'm very, very, very sorry about the last chapter. I now realize that Diagon Ally and Kings Cross station are very close so it would be pointless to go there by a jet (as sugarpony pointed out to me). I really don't pay attention to that kind of stuff in the books. Once more I apologize for my ignorance.
Hogwarts Express Havoc
The Hogwarts Express sped on as the friends sat there, bored out of their minds. About halfway through the trip, an interesting thing happened. The train sharply turned and Yugi's bag slid across the compartment. Emily and Seto were closest, so they reached down to pick it up. Seto's hand ended up on top of hers. They both blushed a little. The rest of them gasped. Seto Kaiba! Blushing! An awkward silence followed. It was broken by the lady that always came by with candy to sell.
"Anything of the trolley?" she asked. They all started talking at once.
"Sure, what do you have?"
"Just let me get my money…"
"Here's your bag Yugi."
"I'll take a few frogs."
Soon they all had their share of food and they started to eat. Seto and Emily pretended to forget what had happened, but the rest knew better. Suddenly, Ryou spat out the bean he had just popped into his mouth.
"What's with these jelly beans!" he gasped. "That one tasted like chlorine!"
"Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans." Said Hermione.
"They mean it when they say every flavor." Said Harry. "Sorry, we should have warned you." Next, Malik opened a chocolate frog. He let out a cry of surprise when it jumped from the box and into Yugi's hair.
"Ahhh! Get it off me!" exclaimed Yugi. Mokuba grabbed it. By now the charm had worn off.
"Yeah, those are chocolate frogs. You can eat it now, it just had a charm on it." Said Ron with a mouthful of pumpkin pasty.
"Anything else you want to warn us about?" asked Yugi nervously.
"Yugi, I want to come out!" whined Yami from the millennium puzzle.
"Yami, its already pretty crowded in here."
"I want to come out to!" said Bakura, joining the conversation.
"Hey what about me?" said Marik also joining in.
"No you don't!" said Malik and Ryou.
"Come on hikari!" they all moaned.
"No!"
"To bad! We're coming out!"
Suddenly all three spirits appeared. Yami slipped on a wrapper and fell down taking Bakura and Marik with him.
"Some pharaoh you are!" said Marik as he got back up.
"Grrr…" said Yami. Suddenly someone knocked on the compartment door.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione? Are you in there?" came the voice of Ginny. The spirits hastily dissapeared. Malik opened the door.
"Oh, I was hoping I could join you but it seems to be a little crowded." She said.
"Oh, that's ok. Ron and I were just leaving to patrol the corridors." Said Hermione. They got up and left. Harry then noticed that Cho Chang was behind Ginny. He blushed furiously.
"Can I sit here to?" she said. They all made room for the two girls. "Harry, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about last year. Marietta told me over the summer that she didn't want to be my friend any more. She said some awful things and now I realize that you were right about her."
"Well, I'm sorry to for the way I acted. Perhaps we could, er, start over?" said Harry nervously.
"Sure." She said smiling.
"So, are you a friend of Harry?" asked Emily. They had forgotten that the others were there.
"Oh, yes. This is Cho Chang." Said Harry. They all introduced themselves. They spent the rest of the trip chatting and eating.
"So, I heard you're going to start up the D.A. again to train students?" asked Cho.
"Yep." Said Harry simply.
"Oh, jeez!" said Emily. "Ron forgot his wand! I'm going to take it to him." She got up and started searching around the train. She turned and saw Ron and Hermione arguing.
"Ron, how could you lose it?" said Hermione.
"It must have fell out of my pocket!" said Ron.
"Hi, Ron you left this back at the compartment." Said Emily handing him his wand.
"Thank goodness!" said Hermione. "Now we can get on patrolling." Emily started to go back to the compartment when she heard a man speaking in a hushed whisper from a another one. Her curiosity took over. She stood there and listened.
"Master… I know I am late, I will do it tonight! The ancient book instructed me where to look for his secrets…" the voice said. This is about where Emily realized that it was a Death Eater talking. She gasped. The Death Eater must have heard her, because there was a popping sound, indicating that the Death Eater had Apparated. She hurried back to the compartment and told the others. They were all worried now. What could the Death Eater meant? They didn't have much time to discuss it though. The train had stopped and they had to get off. They all looked around. For Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Cho, it was good to be home. For the rest of them it was a strange place. They heard Hagrid calling to them. They went over to find him holding up a lantern.
"Hi there 'arry, 'ermione, Ron! Yugi, you and the others are coming along with the first years so you can get sorted." He said smiling at them. So they waved goodbye to each other and they piled into the boats with the first years. The boats took of at a slow speed, gliding across the water.
Niko Mane: Sorry I have to cut this chapter short, but I've just received news that my favorite cousin, who lives in Japan, has came here. I won't be able to update for at least a week, maybe two. By the way, does anyone know how old Mokuba is? I need to know.
