Chapter 6
Danny pov
It was complete chaos. I had never thought much of it but waking up at three in the morning had actually helped me. Instead of packing with the rest of the frenzy, I had finished before anyone else was awake. Soon though, we were off and headed to the train station.
Meanwhile, I was plagued by worries about the up coming school year. What if a ghost attacked during school? What if I can't control my new power? What if I become him? The list goes on and on. Suddenly we were at the station and between platforms 9 and 10; I followed them to a column, not bothering to pretend to keep up with the conversation. "Danny?" or not, I turned to the speaker. It was Mrs. Weasley. "It's your turn, you just run through that pillar over there and you will see the train." I nodded, and then ran through the pillar before appearing in another train station. I loaded my stuff and got on the train to wait for everyone else.
Eventually Harry showed up and we were off, later Ron and Hermione joined us, but it wasn't long before a familiar blonde boy came in followed by bodyguards, he had the same distasteful air about him that hung around my families' murderers. As he was about to speak I demanded "Who are you?" Anyone could hear my obvious dislike for him and his body guards cracked their hands threateningly, well, it would be. To someone who didn't fight ghosts. The blonde was taken aback, "Draco Malfoy. It's a highly respected pure blood name. Not that I would-" he was cut off by my laughter; I choked out "No respectable person takes the dark mark." I stopped laughing. "Malfoy huh? Your idiot father killed my family. You better hope I'm not in your house, because if I am, I'm gonna make your life miserable. Now get out of my sight." By the end of my sentence I had so much venom in my voice; they ran out without a second thought.
I turned to Harry and his friends. "I hope he wasn't a friend of yours." They hurriedly reassured me that he wasn't, then Harry asked "How did you know he had the mark?" I smirked, "I can sense magic, and that... thing is packed with darkness."
Their eyes widened. Then Ron said "Wait they killed your family? Why, how did you live?" I just looked at him. "Now now, that would be off limits, besides, Avada Kadavra is just highly concentrated ectoplasm. It kills on contact, but rarely, people have immunities to it. Unfortunately, that curse taints and causes them to get a scar like mine and Harry's." This confused them, but I wouldn't explain. The rest of the train ride went reasonably well. I followed the giant person, and then... I saw Hogwarts.
A/N: too short, but the next chapter should be long unless something goes wrong so... PRESS THE PREETY BLUE BUTTON! I DARE YOU!
