It took the two young boys several minutes to try and get back the words in there mouths. The small boy who was apparently the famous Harry Potter smiled shyly at me.
"Em, hi we met earlier on the platform?" He spoke rubbing his glasses on his overly large jumper. I felt a warmth towards the small boy. He looked tired, exhausted, slightly frightened to and far far too skinny. His messy dark hair sat uncomfortably on his head and he had gorgeous green eyes that stood out among all other features. He looked as confused as I did on the platform and still looked slightly dazed. I nodded at this comment.
"
You met him and never realised ! Wow! You are new to this world! Need to teach you a few tricks of the wizarding world then" Ron winked at me. I blushed tingeing pink when all of a sudden there was a rapid thud at the door.
"Any of you seen a toad? Neville's lost one." A girl said in annoyance. Her hair was thick and very bushy. She had two large front teeth and looked very agitated and I decided it was better not to get her into a bad mood.
"Sorry, haven't seen a thing." I replied honestly smiling. "My name is Sam, I'm muggle-born so I don't know much about magic but I'm very interested in it" I held out my hand. At this moment the bushy haired girl grasped my hand firmly.
"Me too! I'm a muggle born ! My parents are dentists!" She exclaimed. At this Ron looked very puzzled and sent Harry a confused look. I laughed as Harry explained how a dentist fixes your teeth which Ron couldn't grasp the concept of. The girl didn't look as friendly with Ron as she did with myself though.
"And you are?" She snapped causing me and Harry to shuffle away from her. Ron looked taking aback and slightly insulted.
"Ronald Weasley. You?" He replied in the same sharp tone she had used. "Hermione Granger." She again spoke sternly. Harry caught my look and nodded agreeing somehow that she was not to be crossed. Hermione calmed her facial expression and turned to me then stopped quickly by gazing at Harry on my left. She looked dreamily for a moment when she snapped out of it she jumped up.
"Oh Merlin. Your Harry . Harry Potter." Hermione beamed at him. Harry looked shy and uncomfortable. Poor Harry I thought sadly. He only found out this story two hours ago that he was famous. Another part of me was desperately curious to find out why he was famous though.
"Sorry I don't know how you are famous could someone explain?" I asked desperately. At this Hermione beamed and hopped onto the seat across the compartment from me landing beside Ron who looked displeased and uncomfortable.
"Well it began many years ago .."
"Eh do you mind? I was going to tell the story !" Ron blurted out rudely. I gave Ron an appalled look. He looked sorry but didn't say it too Hermione instead he continued.
"There was a war that was led by one dark wizard and followers. A terrible terrible wizard war . Between the good and the evil. The dark and the light. The .." "-we get it !It was dramatic" I laughed out. Ron smiled and told me and Harry to stop laughing however Hermione looked more intrigued even though she had heard the story before.
"Anyway, bla bla bla evil …good. Ah yes then one night the darkest of wizards named you know who…"
"No he was called Voldemort" stated Harry. Ron cringed and shuddered while Hermione let out a gasp.
"Voldemort?" I asked.
"Shhhh! Don't say his name!" Ron said quickly his voice shaking with panic. I wanted to ask why we weren't aloud to say Voldemort but I decided I wanted to find out more first. "Anyway you know who came to a small house and killed two excellently skilled wizards named James and Lily Potter." Harry looked away. I felt myself tearing up. Should we really be telling this story? Poor Harry's parents were dead. Worse killed. I gulped down hard.
Obviously Ron didn't think of Harry being upset and continued telling the story.
"Then You Know Who began a killing curse on a small boy in the crib named Harry Potter. But something happened. He lost all his powers and Harry was left with a lightning bolt shaped scar. That's why Harry is famous he ended the dark war when he was just two years old. No one has ever survived the killing curse apart from that boy right beside you." Ron finished dramatically. The room went silent and no one dared to speak until Hermione broke it.
"Well as much fun as that was I do believe we shall be arriving soon and suggest putting on your robes." She addressed us as if she were a teacher. And with a swift hair flick she was out the door.
"Bloody 'ell! Isn't she just a delight! What was that all about her snapping at me?" Ron exclaimed. Harry shrugged.
"You were quite rude though Ron." Harry said politely. I nodded in agreement. Ron was far too rude to Hermione and she looked like she didn't have many friends yet and wanted to make some. To` be fair she did seem bossy and arrogant but I shrugged it off I'm sure she was really lovely. The boys however told each other how they hoped she wasn't in there house while I looked out the window following the droplets of rain. Wow, I had never realised how beautiful rain was I thought silently to myself then I saw a shadow appear behind me and the compartment door slammed open. I turned round expecting Hermione and there standing in the door way was none other than the obnoxious git I met earlier. Urgh Malfoy I thought. And by the looks on the other boys faces they didn't look so happy either to see him.
