Hey everyone! Sorry for the extremely short first chapter, but unfortunately due to my attempt to make the chapters evenly written, this one will probably be just a little bit longer =( So sorry! But I promise that chapter 3 will be MUCH longer! I just finished it, so I should have it up at least by Saturday! And as you may have noticed, I'm writing in the form of the Harry Potter books, just because I'm so used to it, and I thought it would be interesting if the story played out this way. Anyway, here is chapter 2, I hope you enjoy it, and as always please review and let me know how it's going(:

Chapter 2

Some Unexpected Guests

Harry stirred as his mind began to return to reality.

"Harry?" Hermione and Ginny said together, a motherly expressing engulfing both of their faces.

Harry sat up absentmindedly and looked at the train compartment around him, confused.

"Wh..Where am I?" Harry stuttered as a train whistle blew somewhere near by.

"You're on the train, Harry. You sort of fainted. Professor McGonagall stalled the train as long as she could, but it had to leave eventually," Hermione explained, "So she just sent Madam Pompfrey on the train." She finished.

"She didn't want you to miss the train, and have to go home to the Dursleys." Ginny explained further. Harry looked down and saw that Ginny's hand was on his again.

"You gave us a right good scare there, mate." Ron mumbled.

Harry momentarily forgot the fight between him and his best friend, until it hit him like a brick. Harry looked up at Ron, who was sitting across from him, and next to Hermione.

"Ron…" Harry stammered, "I'm sor.." Harry said guilty but was cut off by Ron.

"No, it's my fault Harry, I was out of line, I know how close you and Dumbledore were. I'm the one who should be apologizing." Ron said apologetically.

"I am too. I shouldn't have went off like that." Harry replied, slightly embarrassed by his actions.

"At least you didn't sick birds on me..."Ron said, side glancing at Hermione, who was staring out the window.

Hermione smirked and mumbled sarcastically, "Honestly Ronald, I have no idea what you're talking about."

Ron looked slightly taken back, but soon enough the trio erupted into laughter, leaving Ginny slightly perplexed.

"So, what exactly is wrong with me?" Harry asked, giving a puzzled look toward his companions.

As if on cue, Madam Pompfrey bustled into the room carrying a glass of water.

"Over-exhaustion and fatigue, nothing too serious, but you do need rest," Madam Pompfrey said, also looking around at Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, "And judging y the sight of it, I'd say you all could use a few day's rest." She added sweetly.

Harry had not realized the stress that he had put his body through the past week-or-so. He had been in his room most of the time, either crying, or staring down the Marauders Map for a name; a name in which he had wished he could inflict so much pain on, he would explode. Severus Snape.

"Well, drink this, and if you lot don't mind I'll be heading back to Hogwarts now." Madam Pompfrey stated, interjecting Harry's thoughts.

"Thank you!" Harry and the other three managed before she dissapparated into thin air.

"Well, Harry you better get some rest." Hermione said, indicating to a pillow Madam Pompfrey had left him.

He nodded and leaned on the wall, a stray yawn escaping his mouth.

"It was so nice of your mum to invite us over for these next few days." Hermione said to Ron and Ginny.

"Yeah, Bill said he had a surprise and wanted to come down and tell us all. So we called up Charlie, and he said he might stop down too, so mum figured that she'd throw a little party." Ron explained.

"We haven't seen Charlie since he left, it's been ages..."Ginny said, her voice trailing a bit.

They're voices slowly faded as Harry fell into a deep and well needed sleep.

%%%%

Harry slowly aroused, after he didn't know how long, and looked around to see the others asleep.

Ginny was curled up against him, sleeping peacefully at his side. Trying not to wake Ginny, he looked across the compartment and saw Ron, leaning against the window, snoring loudly. Hermione was leaning on Ron, with her head on his shoulders.

"'Bout time." Ginny whispered, startling Harry.

"Definitely." Harry said, grinning in agreement.

Ginny straightened up a little, still leaning on Harry. Harry took Ginny's hand and intertwined his fingers with hers. He smiled, took her chin, and leaned in.

They're lips met for an instant before the train gave a sickening lurch forward, the brakes screeching loudly.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron managed as they fell forward.

Harry grabbed onto Ginny, so that she wouldn't fly off the seat. Ron and Hermione however, had still been out cold, and were thrown forward. Ron fell into the isle between the two seats, his back making a loud thud as it hit the floor. Hermione did a stomach dive on top Ron, his arms closing around her as her body crashed into his.

They opened their eyes, and looked at each other for a moment, realizing what had just happened. Looking down at Hermione, his face as red as his hair, he stammered "I…uhh…"

Ron suddenly cringed, and let out a groan of pain.

"Um Hermione? Could you, uhh." Ron stuttered, indicating towards his lower body. Hermione squealed slightly embarrassed, realizing that her knee was located on a very delicate place of Ron's.

"I'm sorry!" Hermione said, blushing. She clambered out of Ron's arms and back onto the seat, farther away from Ron.

Harry and Ginny snickered, grinning wildly.

"Oh shut it." Ron retorted climbing back onto the seat.

Their laughter was cut short however, as the lights on the train noisily burnt out, and a heart-wrenching sinister laugh could be heard above all else.
