Before I start Chapter 3, I want to say thank you to Zelda12343 for reading my story and commenting. Please R&R, everyone! I would love to know if you guys like my story and want me to keep writing, or if you think I should stop. So please R&R! :)
I wake up, breathless from my dream. I look out the window and smile. Looking at Harry, who is asleep facing away from me, I feel a tug at my heart. I push it down and paste a fake smile on my face and lightly tap his arm. 'Harry-wake up. We're nearly there.' He opens his eyes. 'Huh?' he asks groggily. I smile and shake my head. 'Hermione! Ron! It's time to wake up!' Hermione sits up and smiles. Ron grunts at me. I slap his arm. 'Wake up, you stupid git! Do you want to ride the train back to…wherever it goes?' He opens his eyes and glares at me. 'Fine. I'm up.' I grin at him. 'Good!' I turn back to Harry. 'Wake up!' He sits up. 'Okay, I'm awake!' 'Good!' I smile a big, toothy, over-the-top grin at him. Hermione gives me a knowing look, and I look away, blushing slightly.
The train stops moving, and we hear the carriage doors opening. I stand up and stretch, and then walk to the door. I hold it open as Ron and Hermione walk out, but Harry insists on me going out before him. I follow Ron and Hermione out of the train and onto Platform 9 ¾, Harry following me. The four of us stand together, looking for Mum, Dad, George, Percy, Bill, and Fleur. Mum spots us and waves. We make our way over to her. 'Mum?' 'Yes, dear?' 'How are we going to get home?' 'Um…' I rarely see my mother at a loss for words. In the end, Dad answers. 'Floo powder.' I am confused, but I follow him to a fireplace with a ginormous pot of Floo Powder. 'It must be how everyone is getting home.' Hermione whispers to Ron, Harry and I. We get in line and when we finally get to the front, Mum goes first. 'George, you next. Then Percy, Fleur, Bill, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Ron, and then me.' Dad picks the order we'll go in. When it finally gets to me, I take a handful of the Floo Powder and say, loud and clear, 'The Burrow!' and I throw the Floo Powder down. I feel a whizzing and then I'm walking into the living room at the Burrow. I walk up to Mum. 'Home Sweet Home.' I say, choking over my words. Then I burst into tears.
Kind of a cliffhanger, I know… but I'll have chapter 4 up Really Really Soon
