Well I guess I should probably put a disclaimer in here at some point and now is as good a time as any, anything you recognise dosent belong to me that includes but is not limited to Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and even Sally-Anne Perks check your HPSS/HPPS book she is in there

Harry and Sally were still trying to best each other in a who would beat whom fight of the Chocolate Frog sort. It was even more amusing because the cards themselves were getting involved, making faces and rude gestures at the card they were being set to face. They were in the midst of choosing their next cards when the compartment door slid open. A nervous looking boy and a bushy haired girl were standing on the other side. She looked like she was about to speak but then got a confused look on her face and asked, "What are you doing?"

Harry and Sally didn't look at each other because they could barely contain their giggles and knew that if they looked at each other they would bust up laughing again, "Were playing with Chocolate Frog cards what does it look like were doing?" Sally barely managed to get out.

"Yeah," continued Harry, "Who do you think would win Merlin or Medusa?" He asked this while showing that he was holding the Merlin card.

The bushy haired girl looked taken aback that he had asked her, or maybe it was the fact that the Medusa and Merlin cards were both making puppy dog faces at her as if to say 'Choose Me! Choose Me!' After she got over the shock she seemed thoughtful for a moment and then proclaimed, "While Merlin is an exceptional wizard he would stand no chance against Medusa's petrifaction talent, Medusa wins." At this Sally jumped up exclaimed YES! and did a little dance. Everyone stared at her for a few seconds. Then the bushy haired girl seemed to remember why she had opened the door in the first place. The bushy haired girl inquired. "Have any of you seen a toad? Neville here seems to have lost his." They responded that they hadn't and she left. The second the door slid closed they both looked at each other and busted up laughing.

For a long while after that they continued to chat about nothing, eat sweets, and have their cards make faces at each other. Then for a second time the compartment door slid open, this time a familiar looking red headed boy was behind the door. He looked slightly nervous and was silent for a few moments but the curious looks of Harry and Sally caused him to speak. "M-my brothers told me that Harry Potter was supposed to be in this compartment, I figured I would check even though it was probably a prank."

Harry was just about to say that he was in fact Harry Potter when he suddenly recognized the boy, "I REMEMBER YOU! You were with that big family in Madam Malkin's when I was getting my robes."

The boy looked startled for a moment and said, "Yeah my names Ron, sorry for bugging you I should have known my brothers were pranking me." He turned to leave

"No they weren't pranking you I really am Harry Potter." Ron's eyes widened at that but he continued out of the compartment.

Sally stood up after Ron had walked out, "He was wearing his robes, we should probably get ours on too." She turned to leave, "You get yours on first and then I will come in and put mine on, okay." When she had walked out and closed the door behind her Harry began to change. While he changed he snorted slightly at the thought that had someone told him a year ago that he would be getting on a train to a magical school and have enough money in a trust account to buy the Dursley's home for the sheer fun of destroying it and still have money to burn he would have said they needed to be committed. Now though, now he couldn't imagine anything better now he knew he had someplace to go and that he wasn't a good for nothing freak and that was wonderful.

Harry walked out and let Sally in to change. He looked at his reflection on the shaded window of the compartment door. He looked at the Hogwarts crest on his outer robe wondering what house he would be put in. Harry remembered Snape's explanation of the houses and had thought about it many times but he still didn't think he fit into any of them. He liked to think things through before he did them at least a little but rarely did because he either didn't have time or knew that any plan he could think of would fall through. He was slightly reckless as was shown by his following Snape without knowing anything about him. That made him seem Gryffindor but at the same time he didn't think that was his match. He knew when to simply sit back and watch things happening because if you saw other people's habits it was easy enough to avoid them. That made him think he was slightly Slytheryn but at the same time that felt wrong because he didn't set the wheels in motion he simply observed them.

Harry barely had time to finish this thought when the door slid open showing Sally wearing a matching set of robes allowing him in as she had just finished dressing. Harry smiled at her and walked in sitting next to the window. It was clear they were both nervous, in a good way, about being so close to finally being at Hogwarts. She sat down across from Harry and they both contemplated their future for the rest of the trip.

Author's note: My updating will more than likely be sporadic at best, I wrote the majority of this while I was grounded and didn't have acess to the internet and fanfiction. I will try to update every two weeks and will hope for more but I can't promise that. Oh and I am looking for a beta reader so if you are interested contact me
