Starry Night Dreams
Chapter 5
On the Train to Hogwarts
Starry Night Dreams
Malik and Serenity sat staring at the mysteriously beautiful bird on one of the Leaky Cauldron's tables. They were thinking of a name that might be suitable enough. "How about...Irmina?" Malik asked. Serenity furrowed her eyebrows in deep thought, "Maybe not. I think I'll name her Seahorse. "
Malik stared at her, "You'll name a bird Seahorse?" he asked while raising an eyebrow. Serenity giggled, "I suppose not...,"
"Well, we could name it Kamaria?" Serenity shook her head, "its name will be Kaguya!"
A while later Isis, Yami and a very sulky Bakura returned. "What's up with him?" Malik asked nudging his head towards Yami Bakura. Yami smirked smugly, "Isis caught him trying to steal some sort of knife." Malik and Serenity laughed.
"You all should get to work on packing your trunks, tomorrow you have to wake up early to catch the train!" Isis advised. Ryou nodded his head , Bakura and Yami had retreated to their soul rooms a while before , " Your right , besides I'm really tired ! " he stretched , "Good Night Everyone ! " he went up the rickety stairs to his room .
Yugi sighed / Yami, I hope you remembered to but something for Ryou's birthday/
/ Err. what makes you think I forgot/ he responded nervously. Yugi sweatdropped/ you forgot didn't you/ Yami nodded his head / Uh...yeah...but it was all the tombrobber's fault/ Yugi rolled his eyes/ Yeah, right, good night Yami . / Yami sighed he had gotten off easily/ Good Night Aibou/
"Yami! Do you know where I put my wand ? "A startled Ryou asked. Yami Bakura rolled his eyes, "In your pocket." Ryou blushed, "Umm...Thanks."
"Malik! Hurry up in there! "Isis banged on Malik's door, they were late for the train.
"Alright already!" Malik emerged from his room dragging his trunk behind him.
They met up with Yugi, Ryou and Serenity downstairs, called for a cab. They put three trunks in the trunk and one in the front, the four of them sat in the back, and it was very uncomfortable!
They arrived at King's Cross, with fifteen minutes to spare. "Which platform's ours? " Serenity asked. Isis checked the ticket number, "Platform nine and three quarters?"
"There's actually a platform called nine and three quarters?" Malik asked.
They all looked at the different platforms; there were platforms 9 and 10. But where was nine and three quarters?
Just then a group of people walked right through the wall in between platforms 9 and 10, and vanished! "Err...did anyone see that?" Yugi asked. They nodded their heads dumbly. "They just walked into a brick wall and vanished!" Malik exclaimed.
"Maybe one of us should try it "Ryou said. ((Why don't you try it hikari?)) Bakura teased, ((not frightened are you?)) Ryou rolled his eyes, (Shut up!)
"I agree with Ryou! Malik you go. "Isis said. Malik glared at his older sister, "Why should I go? Do I look suicidal to you? "
"We have five minutes left, until the train leaves! I'll go then! "Serenity volunteered. She took a deep breath and ran straight for the barrier between the two platforms. Instead of crashing into something hard , like she should have , she found herself in a busy place where a scarlet steam train , that said the Hogwarts Express was.
"Well, we saw what happened. So, here it goes! "Yugi took a deep breath! He held on to the trolley his trunk was placed on and made a mad dash for the barrier. Instead of smacking straight into it like he expected, he ended up on the other side right next to Serenity.
She helped him up, "Are the others coming?" she asked. Yugi nodded dumbly, still shaken up a bit.
Malik and Ryou after seeing that both Yugi and Serenity hadn't been hurt in anyway, arrived a short, while later.
"This one's empty." Ryou said, while sliding open a glass door to a compartment. They all lugged their trunks in behind them and stored them above the seats. "I wonder what this new school will be like ... "Serenity began.
"It's really great!" a bushy haired girl slid open the door. Next to her were a red haired boy with freckles and another boy with unkempt black hair and startling green eyes.
They all stared at each other for a while before the girl exclaimed , " We haven't introduced ourselves as yet ! I'm Hermione Granger !" she said .
" Ron Weasely , " the red haired boy next to her grinned . " Harry Potter , " the other boy said . Harry had expected them to start gawking at his scar like everybody else , but instead they just began to introduce themselves .
" I'm Yugi Motou and these are my friends , Ryou Bakura , Malik Ishtar and Serenity Katsuya. " Yugi said .
" It's nice to meet you all . " Ryou said . Malik just nodded his head and Serenity waved .
" So , what 's Japan like ? " Harry asked making conversation . Yugi grinned , " It's great ! There's always something to do ! " / Including rescuing souls , stoping a madman from taking over the world and preventing baka tombrobbers from stealing millennium items / Yami smirked . Yugi laughed , unfortunately out loud .
Ron exchanged glances with Harry , who just shrugged . " Are all of you from Japan ? " Hermonie asked . Yugi shook his head and Ryou replied , " Malik here is from Egypt , " he gestured towards him , " but visits Japan regularly . "
" Would you mind telling us more about your school ? " Serenity asked . Harry and Ron perked up . " Well there are four different houses , " Ron began , " Gryffindor , Slytherin , Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw . " Harry finished .
" Gryffindor is for the brave and strong minded , Slytherin's will do anything to get what they want , Ravenclaws are really clever and Hufflepuff is where the rest go . " Hermione said .
" There isn't a single Slytherin that hasn't turned out to be some dark wizard of a kind ! " Ron shook his head . Malik was too hungry to really care about anything they said , " There will be some kind of feast when we reach there right ? "
" Yeah , but in a while the food cart should come . " Hermione answered .
Malik smirked , " Great ! Cause I'm starving ! "
Later during the day as the train progressed the lady with the food cart arrived . " Anything off the cart dears ? " she asked . " Everything ! " Malik had shouted before the words had barely left her mouth .
" Malik ! You should be saving your money ! " Ryou scolded . Serenity leaned forward , " Don't worry , I've got it covered ! " she paid her . " Kaiba leant me some money , even though I didn't need it ."
The compartment door slid open , " Well , well what have we here ? " a malicious voice said , " The travelling circus ? " he said looking snidely at Yugi's hair .
Harry and Ron stood up , " Back off Malfoy ! " Harry demanded , " Your not wanted here ! " Malfoy looked at Harry , " How's your scar Potter ? Have you gone beserk on anyone over the summer ? " Crabbe and Goyle guffawed stupidly .
Malik got up , " I suggest you leave now , before I go beserk on you ! " he growled .
Malfoy smirked , " What could you possibly do little girl ? " Malik narrowed his eyes , his hand slid into his pocket to finger the blade of millennium rod .
" I'll give you another chance to leave , until the count of three , " Malik began , " 1 , "
Malfoy stared at him defiantly , " 2 , ... 3 ! "
Malfoy 's eyes suddenly became glazed over , he was rigid for a while , before , he turned around and rammed himself into the glass door , over and over again ,until the glass shattered and his face was covered in blood . He collapased unto the floor in a bloody heap .
Harry and they stared at the scene awe - struck . Had Malfoy gone mad ! Crabbe and Goyle surprised by the whole thing just grabbed their leader from off the floor and dragged him out .
" Wh - What happened ? " Hermione asked startled . Malik shrugged his shoulders a grin on his face , " Maybe he just lost it ! "
Ron stared at Malik a mixture of awe and admiration on his face , " You must have scared him stupid ! You did look pretty intimidating . "
" I hope he's alright ! " Hermione whispered , " Anyway you better change into your robes, come on Serenity . " the two girls went to a different compartment to change .
Nightfall fell and the train finally came to a halt at the Hogsmeade Train Station . " Well this is it you guys ! The beginning of a new adventure ! " Yugi exclaimed .
