Chapter Two: The Train
On the day of September 1rst, Maddy was standing in the middle of kings cross, utterly confused. She was in her black robes, she had all of her supplies, and a brown, fat, white freckled owl that she had named Bellus, but no one was dressed like her and she didn't see anyone with the same supplies as her. All she saw was a bunch of random English people dressed like they were going to work. She was alone and had no clue what on earth to do. Then she spotted someone who looked like he worked there. A tall man with a long face and dark brown eyes, that was dressed in a grey suit. He had a name tag on the left side of his chest that read: Bob Mastern
She decided it would be smart to ask him where the platform for the Hogwarts train was. As she approached him though, his face crinkled up like he had smelt something nasty.
"You're not around these part are yeh" He asked in a heavy English accent that sounded so new to her.
"No I'm not" She called back looking down at her shoes. "But I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the platform for the Hogwarts train?" She looked up at his big brown eyes that were filled with confusion.
"Hogwarts? No such thing as Hogwarts love." He then turned away from her and headed in a totally different direction. Tears weld up in her eyes. Was Hogwarts a joke? Was there really no other people like her? She wanted to cry right there in the middle of the train station for being a fool. For buying all of this stupid equipment that she wouldn't even use. Her mom would be so mad at her for making her believe in some wizard school that didn't exist. A tear fell down her cheek as she watched a bleach blonde hair boy with a cage holding an owl in his hands run down the platform. (What she presumed) were his mother and father were walking behind him with the same kind of supplies that she had. She sighed in relief, and headed towards the couple. She then gently tapped the man, who was believed to be the boy's father, on the shoulder.
"May I help you?" He asked with a hint of annoyance in his tone. His bright blue eyes glared down at her and his almost white, it was so blonde, hair was being played with by his wife.
"Umm w-weelll I w-wass won-nderring iff err y-youu coulld t-tell m-me how t-to gett t-to the um er h-hogwarts t-train" She was so nervous that he was going to say that it wasn't real that she was stumbling over his words.
"C-coulld I-i?" He asked making fun of her. "Yes. But will I? No" He smirked and his wife laughed loudly, pulling him in the direction of where his son was heading.
"Uh stupid muggle born" She cried laughing a little softer. Maddy froze, right there on the spot. Stupid Muggle Born? Why did it seem like such an insult? She had never heard anyone use it as insult before but she couldn't really dwell on the subject too much, because to her surprise a hand clamped down on her shoulder.
"I wouldn't worry about that git Malfoy or his wife Pansy, they're like that to everyone" said a husky voice from behind her. When she looked up at the man who said those words she had blue eyes, red hair, freckles, and was about 6 feet. He was Ronald Weasley the man from her history text book. 19 years ago he and his two friends defeated Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who wanted a pure blood race of wizards. "Hi I'm Mr. Weasley." He extended the hand, that once was on her shoulder, out to her and she shook it.
"Madeline Teriminee" She said smiling.
"Now I think you were wondering how to get to the Hogwarts train, am I right?" She nodded. "Well all you have to do is find the post in between platform nine and platform ten. Then you must run into it, but make sure no muggles see you do it." He winked at her and then checked the time on his wrist watch. "Blimey you better hurry the portal to the other side closes in ten minutes. I've got to go find my family to hurry them up, it was very nice meeting you Madeline" and with that he left. Now knowing how to get there Maddy sped down the platforms until she got to the wall that she believed was the portal. She stood a good enough distance away from it, so that at the proper moment she could run. She turned her head both ways to make sure that no 'muggle' was watching, and when she saw that no one was even looking her way, she closed her eyes and ran with her cart. She thought she would feel the impact of the brick wall hit her, but instead she felt nothing, she opened her eyes and was awestruck at what was infront of her. Other wizard kids practicing magic, saying goodbye to their families, boarding on a beautiful red train. She started to walk along the platform dilly dallying to take everything in, when suddenly from behind a cart rammed into her knocking, everything she had, over.
"Bloody Hell! Don't cha first years ever watch where you're going?" A boyish voice asked, she didn't look up at him because she was too busy cleaning up the mess, that had sprawled on the ground. The boy groaned. "Here let me help you" He kneeled down to her level and started picking up her books with her, she looked up to meet his gaze when he handed her, The Defense Against The Dark Arts for miners book. He had big brown eyes, and curly brown hair. There was no doubt that he was the boy from her scary dreams. He handed her the book and when she grabbed it, their hands brushed each other sending a spark of electricity down her spine. She shuddered, and packed it away in her knapsack. "I'm James by the way." He said extending a hand out to her, but she only nodded and packed another book into her knapsack, she was too afraid of what she would feel if she shook his hand.
"Oh well nice to meet you James, I'm Madeline." She smiled and stood up, pushing her cart right side up and placing Bellus back where he belonged. James stood up and looked over his shoulder, to see his parents waving for him to come over.
"Well I best be going Madeline but, it was wonderful to meet you." He smiled at her one last time before running off with his cart, of Hogwart supplies, to meet his parents. She blushed slightly, before running off to one of the open doors in the train. She got rid of the cart and carried her things down the corridors of the train looking for an empty seat but, every time she tried sitting down or asking if she could sit:
"Sorry mate this seat is taken."
"Oh you can't sit here!"
"Walk away, there isn't a place for you to sit."
"Sorry my friend told me to save her seat."
and every time a person said that to her she would say:
"Oh okay thanks anyway." with a sad expression on her face. So she roamed the corridors up and down for about 45 minutes, the train had already started to move, before she spotted the boy who had rammed into her. She figured he would let her sit with him and his friends. She opened the glass and everyone stopped to stare at her. "Umm do you mind if I sit with you guys? Everything else is full" they stared at her blankly for a minute before a girl with red hair and blue eyes said something:
"Yeah sure, sit down." Maddy sighed in relief, before shoving her suitcase and knapsack on the top shelf, placing her owl on the floor by the window and then sitting down.
"I'm Rose Weasley!" Said the girl, Maddy now recognized her from the only girl in her dream and as the daughter of two people from the golden trio. She had the same bone structure as her mother, but her hair and eyes matched her father perfectly.
"Oh nice to meet you I'm Madeline, but you can call me Maddy." Maddy extended her hand out to the girl,who shook it with a huge smile. The girl named Rose turned to everyone else in the space. She first pointed to a boy who seemed a little older. He had dyed blue hair, and bright blue eyes to match.
"This is Teddy Lupin." Rose said, and Maddy shook hands with him. Rose than pointed to another boy beside him. "and this is Albus Potter." Maddy recognized him as the last person from her dream. He was the one with the dark, dark brown hair and the green eyes. She hesitated but shook his hand. Then she pointed to James, "Last but certainly not least-" Maddy cut her off.
"It's James right?" She asked him and he nodded. Rose, Albus, and Teddy looked confused.
"You know each other?" Rose asked curiously. Maddy shook her head.
"Not really, I met him before when he rammed his cart into mine." She chuckled and blushed a little bit. James rolled his eyes.
"Well maybe if you watched where you were going!" Maddy opened her mouth to argue but someone opened the sliding glass doors. Scorpious Malfoy came strolling in with his two friends.
"Kayla Longbottom has lost her toad, have you guys seen it?" He asked slightly annoyed.
"No we haven't." Rose said her nose up in the air, as if she didn't want to look at him. Scorpious Malfoy caught this of course and decided to draw his attention to Maddy.
"I'm Malfoy, Scorpious Malfoy." He said pulling up Maddy's hand to kiss it. Rose and everyone else made a disgusted face.
"Umm Teriminee, Madeline Teriminee." Maddy said mimicking him, just as his father did to her. Scorpious went red as everyone around him started to giggle. He turned to Rose who was epically giggling and became almost lobster like, and he huffed his bleach blonde bangs out of his face before, grabbing his two friend and shoving them out into the corridors.
"I'm Malfoy, Scorpious Malfoy." Albus laughed before taking her hand and kissing it. Teddy and Albus erupted into a fit of laughter, but Rose and James kept silent.
"We don't have to make fun of him all day!" Rose yelled, and James nodded agreeing with her. "Now if you'll excuse me." Rose said shooting up from her seat and grabbing hold of her robes. "I'm going to go change, and I suggest you three do the same." Then she walked swiftly out the door and slammed it behind her.
