Chapter Six

"Come on, or ve are going to miss ze train!" Fleur yelled impatiently as the muggle taxi drivers were loading in their trunks. One of the drivers made a rather rude hand gesture at her.

Mel and Fleur were talking in French while Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing near the door. Hermione sighed. "We're never going to have a quiet year at Hogwarts, are we?" She asked again. Ron, who was only half listening, shook his head.

"She's got a boyfriend Ron" Harry said abruptly, bringing Ron back. "How would you know?" He demanded. Hermione smiled. "How would you not know? They walk around the school holding hands and stuff all the time. It's Justin Finch-Fletchley." Ron looked down. Mel walked over to them after the taxi drivers had put the trunks in the trunk of the car.

"Come on, Fleur's in a really bad mood, so I suggest we go quickly." Mel turned and headed for the second taxi, followed by Ginny and Fleur. Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed for the other taxi. It was a quiet ride to Kings Cross and once they arrived, the taxi drivers refused to get the trunks out of the car.

Once everything was packed onto the trollies, they headed to the barrier. Mel and Fleur, speaking in very fast french, leaned casually against the barrier and slipped out of sight. Ron and Harry went next, followed by Ginny and Hermione.

"Come on, come on, this way!" Fleur was calling. The Hogwarts Express, a scarlet steam engine, was about to leave at exactly 11 o'clock. They had two minutes to go. Mel found a compartment for them all to sit in, and put the trunks in the luggage rack.

They waved at Fleur through the window and sat down, Mel, Hermione and Ginny looking over the Daily Prophet, and Ron and Harry talking about quidditch. Harry was still quidditch captin, and Ron was still keeper.

"UGH!" Hermione cried as they turned the page. "They're letting that awful Skeeter cow write for the Prophet again!" Everybody remembered well the awful articles Rita Skeeter wrote in the Daily Prophert in their fourth, or in Ginny's case thrid, years.

Harry sighed. This would mean more rumors about him from her. Mel pulled out a copy of Witch Weekly out of her bag. "Honestly! How could she have found out about this!" Mel thrust the copy of Witch Weekly into Harry's hands and he read aloud:

Weasleby Convicted Death Eater

Arthur Weasleby, Department of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic was convicted of murdering Nymphadora Tonks, and Auror for the Ministry. Witnesses say that he had put his own son under the Imperius Curse. Once the children had left his sight, he then proceded to follow Mrs. Tonks outside and murder her with the Avada Kadavra curse, and then send the Dark Mark up into the sky.
"I really didn't expect Mr. Weasley to do anything that gutsy" Draco Malfoy, a seventh year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "He was always a disgrace to the wizarding world, fratenizing with muggles and mudbloods."
Some believe he was bewitched. Others think he was knocked out and a Death Eater used polyjuice potion. Others still believe he acted on his own free will. Besides murdering the auror, he also kidnapped several people, including his own wife. Others that were kidnapped included Bill Weasleby, Alastor "Mad-eye" Moody, Charlie Weasleby, andPercy Weasleby, who works at the Ministry as well.
"This isn't really a loss" Draco Malfoy commented. "He really wasn't that popular with everyone else. If only that had taken Ron and Ginny too."
Memebers of the Ministry are shocked, too. "We never expected Arthur Weatherby to do that, he was always so kind to everyone and despised wizards and witches involved in the Dark Arts" says Rufus Scrimgeour, Minister of Magic. But was that just a cover up?
"He seemed really glad when we caught the other Death Eaters. I believe he was acting under the Imperious Curse, though unfortunately, we have to fire him" Scrimgeour says, shaking his head.
"They aren't all that rich. They'llprobably starve for a year" Pansy Parkinson, a seventh yearSlytherin girl of Hogwarts. "You should see Ron and Ginny's robes! They're so old and tattered! And Ron'sdress robes! Awful!" We'll go more into this story once we know more.

Ron and Ginny were shaking in anger. Hermione was staring open mouthed at themagazine.Mel was muttering to herself. Harry dropped the magazine. There was a loud giggling from outside and the compartment door opened. "Read the article about your pititful lives have you Weasleby?" Pansy Parkinson was saying to them. Ron and Mel both ade to get up and punch her, but Hermione got there first.

"You leave my friends alone" she said, shaking in fury.

"What are you going to do about it mudblood?"

"This!" and with that she punched Pansy in the face. She fell to the floor, her nose bleeding. Stumbling, she made her way up. "You'll pay for that mudblood!" she shrieked and headed back to her compartment. Mel was in a fit of giggles. "That was funny!" she managed to say before stumbling and falling on the floor.

"That happens a lot doesn't it?" She smiled at them and got up as thewitch who pushed the snack trolley came by. "Anything from the trolley dears?" she asked kindly. They bought a whole bunch of snacks to eat for the rest of the way. Mel was back to reading Witch Weekly, though she had given Ron the story so he and Ginny could shred it.

"According to my horoscope, I'm gonna die in June. Well, now I have something to look foreward to" Mel giggled. Harry sighed and checked his own horoscope. "I'm supposed to die on Christmas. Yippee for me" Harry mumbled. So they sat and talked for the next few hours, until the train slowed down and it was time to get off.

"Firs' years o'er here!" a fimiliar voice called over. The enormus form of Hagrid appeared from the shadows. "'ello Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and who're you?" Hagrid asked coming over.

"This is Melidina Righ" Ginny said. Mel smiled nevously. "Well, nice to meet yeh. Oh, yeh better get goin', the carriages are 'bout to leave." The waved good bye and piled into a carraige.
