A/N: I found a mistake in Chapter 7 "The Dinner Guest That Changed Everything", Izzie's age is 12 not 13. But she will be turning 13 soon but not yet. Sorry for the confusion.

Not What I Call A Normal Train Ride

"Izzie, you have everything you need for school?" Remus asked for what felt for the hundredth time.

"Yes Lupin. I have my wand and books and stuff."

"Once we Apparite all our things we are not bringing to Hogwarts, will be put into storage until summer."

"Okay. Wait. Did you say 'Apparite'?"

"Yes."

"As in Apparition?"

"Yes."

"As in Apparition, the thing I'm underage for?"

"Yes," Remus said getting irritated.

"Cool!"

"I'm the one who will be doing the Appariting. As you clearly stated 'the thing I'm underage for'."

"Oh please," Izzie said. She couldn't keep from laughing, only because Remus had used the quotation signs in the air when he said the last part.

Remus chuckled back, "Okay. You ready?" knowing this would be her first time.

"Maybe? I mean when I take this Apparition Test at 17, I would have more experience at it than the other kids. So. Yes. I am ready."

"All I wanted was a 'Yes' or a 'No' answer. Not a speech."

Izzie walked over to Remus and hit him on the arm, "Oh please Lupin. Shove it. I'm a virgin at this. You were once a virgin at this too."

Remus stared at her; he couldn't believe she is comparing Apparition with sex, "Okay. It's time to leave now or we will miss the train at King's Cross. Hold on to my arm…more that that…like you are hugging my arm. Okay. On the count of three, you are going to feel like you are being torn apart into pieces…don't give me that look it won't hurt. Hold on real tight until I tell you to let go. We have thousands o f miles from her to London. Remember count of three…one…two…three."

Izzie closed her eyes at three. She felt that being torn apart feeling and it made her dizzy, but she dared not to let go. She heard stories of Apparition s going wrong, way wrong. The trip only took fifteen seconds at best. But it was the worst fifteen seconds of Izzie's life that she knew of. Then it all stopped, along with that dizzy feeling. Her feet were back on to sold ground again and she lost her balance and fell right on her ass on that really hard ground. Remus of course, with more experience with Apparition, didn't fall on his ass. But instead looked down at Izzie and laughed his ass off instead.

Izzie's world was spinning, "Hay! It's not funny. I think you broke my ass," she tired to get up, "Yes, you broke my ass!"

"I think he broke something else, rather than your very nice ass," someone with fire red hair said looking down at Izzie opposite Remus.

Then there were two of them, "Fred? How do you know what her ass looks like? She is sitting on it."

"Well George," the one called Fred said, "Pretty face equals nice ass. Always."

"Really?" George asked.

"Yes, God works in mysterious ways," Fred stated.

"Did I hit my head? 'Cause I think I'm seeing double. Or one of them," Izzie was pointing at both of them, "is completely insane."

"Izzie, I believe they are identical twins. The Weasley twins, if I'm correct?" Remus asked the twins while he gave a hand to help Izzie back up on to her feet.

Fred and George answered at the sometime, "Correct. Do you know our parents?"

"At one time yes I did know your parents."

The train gave off its warning whistle.

"We all should be going before we miss the train. Good-bye Fred and George," Remus said.

"Yeah bye," Izzie said.

"See you young lady," one twin said.

"And your ass," said the other twin.

"At school."

"Sometime."

The twins walked away. Izzie grabbed her suit case and they stated to board the train, "Well that was interesting. And come to think of it. You are going to have to teach them in class."

"Oh joy," Remus said with no excitement in his voice.

"Do you mind if we shore the compartment? Everywhere else is full," this girl asked with massive curly brown hair.

"Yeah. I don't see why not," Izzie answered.

Behind the curly brown hair girl came in two boys. One with dark brown hair and glasses and the other had fiery red hair and oh god…a rat. 'I hate rats,' Izzie thought to herself.

I'm Hermione Granger. Ronald Weasley. Harry Potter," she pointed at both boys saying their names.

"It's just Ron," Ron clarified.

"Hi. I'm Elizabeth Timberlake. Call me Izzie. Do you have twins in the family?" Izzie asked thinking of the twins she met earlier.

"Yes. My brothers. Fred and George. You know them?"

"Yes. Well no, not personally. My ass does though," Izzie said without thinking.

Hermione dropped the book she had in her lap, and Harry and Ron just stared.

"Never mind," Izzie turned red, "So, Harry Potter? Is it?"

'Oh great,' Harry thought before answering, "Yeah."

"I thought you'd be taller. And wider," Izzie said, "Oh don't worry. I don't care that you're famous. Just fan girls get in my way. Watch out. When Gildery Lockhart came to my school in America…let's just say we don't see a lot of famous wizards. Now, Johnny Depp is another story."

"Thanks," Harry said.

Izzie just nodded her head.

"You are from America?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. Just transferred yesterday," Izzie said, "Because of Lupin."

"Who's Lupin?" Ron asked.

Pointing at Lupin's sleeping form, "Remus Lupin. He's my guardian. He's the new Defense teacher at Hogwarts. Dumbledore gave hi, the job in person last night. Which is the reason for my sudden change of magic schools."

"You know Dumbledore?" Harry asked.

"No, not personally. We just met last night at dinner."

"What year are you in and what house?" Hermione asked.

"Um. I'm not in a 'house' yet. At my school we didn't do 'houses'. But I know what you mean though. Lupin bought me a book about Hogwarts are few years ago. He went to Hogwarts when he was a kid. As for what year I'm in, third year, I think," Izzie said.

"You think? You don't know what year you are in. Are you mental?" Ron asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Ronald!" Hermione said.

"No. I'm not insane. At my old school we start school two years earlier that you. Which would make me in fifth year there and third year her. Ass," Izzie glared at Ron.

Harry and Hermione laughed at the look on Ron's face.

"Sorry," Ron said. Then he started to play with his rat. While Izzie, Harry and Hermione talked.

About and hour into the train ride, Izzie excused herself to use the bathroom. Half way to the girl's bathroom, after Hermione pointed her in the right direction, the train stopped suddenly bashing Izzie into the railing, "Holy crap. Ow!" Then the lights in the hall and inside the compartment near her went out, "Shit. How am I…," she stopped mid sentence, because of the fact that it got real cold and dreary around her.

The back up lights kicked in, but it was still hard to see anything far away, "I really got to piss," Izzie said trying to find her way back to her compartment.

Something floated over her head and blacked the way she was going. Then the thing that blocked her way came at her. Izzie felt like she was tired. Her knees buckled from underneath her. She felt powerless and weak and unwanted. Like all the happiness in the world died. She is feeling the way her foster father treated her, like she is reliving that day when she was seven all over again. Izzie's world just turned black.

"Elizabeth! Expecto Patronum!" Remus came running down the hall toward the Dementor. Bright white light filled the entire hall and the Dementor vanished.

Remus picked Izzie up in his arms and headed back toward their compartment.

When he got there, "Clear the way."

Remus placed Izzie on the seat bench after Ginny and Neville scrabbled to get out of the seats. Izzie was shacking like she was having a bad dream. She was tossing her head back and forth, "What happened to her?" Harry asked.

"The same thing that happened to you, Harry. Eat the chocolate I gave you," Remus replied, "Elizabeth. Honey, wake up," Remus was gently shacking her.

Izzie began to stir. She opened her eyes slowly and looked in Remus's eyes. She began to cry and turned to face the back of the seat bench she was laying on.

Remus knew what unhappy memories the Dementor feed on, "Elizabeth…," he began.

"Lupin…leave me alone okay…I don't want …to talk about it…," she trailed off and began to sob a little.

"Here at least eat some chocolate. And show them it's not poisoned," Remus said.

"Well they know not to take candy from strangers…," Izzie began.

"Elizabeth."

"Alright! You and your damn chocolate," Izzie took the piece and ate it. Ginny, Neville, Harry, Ron and Hermione did the same.

Remus noticed Izzie was shacking because she was cold and he conjured a blanket for her, "I must have a word with the driver. You'll be alright, Elizabeth?"

"I will be if you stop calling me 'Elizabeth'."

Lupin gave her a look that pleaded with her to behave. Then he turned, opened the compartment door and headed toward the front of the train to speak with the driver.

"I take it that you don't like to be called, Elizabeth?" Ginny asked.

"No duh. What gave you that impression…Who are you?" Izzie asked. Noticing there were two more people in the compartment.

"I'm Ginny Weasley and this is Neville Longbottum."

"Weasley? As in…,"

"Yes. She is my younger sister," Ron said.

"Damn! How many are there?"

"Only three more," Ron answered.

"Only?"

"So, Izzie what happened?" Hermione asked.

"I don't want to talk about it. What were those things?" Izzie asked.

Hermione explained what happened after Izzie left to use the bathroom up to when Remus came back with her.

"So in a nutshell. Dementor entered. Made room feel like a graveyard. Harry fainted…well if it makes you feel better I fainted too, Harry…Lupin jumped up. White light. Dementor ran screaming from the room with its panties in a punch…sort of speak," Izzie rattled off.

"In a nutshell," Ron said with the image of 'panties in a punch'.

Ginny interrupted, "Then after Mr. Lupin made sure Harry and us were okay. He realized you weren't here."

"Then I told him you were going to the bathroom before all this happened. He went running from the room," Hermione finished for Ginny.

"R. L. The hero."

Look here she comes now

Bow down and stare in wonder

Oh how we love you

No flaws when you're pretending

But now I know she

Izzie was laying on the seat bench under the blanket Remus conjured for her earlier, listening to her ipod. Very loudly. That passer byers looked in their compartment to see where all the music was coming from.

Ginny and Neville left awhile ago. So Harry, Ron and Hermione were left to listen to the very strange American music.

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

Remus came back from talking to the driver. Izzie didn't see him returning to the compartment, to the fact that her eyes were closed. It looked like she was sleeping. Remus took the last open seat next to Hermione. Hermione was next to Ron, who was next to the window. Harry sat across from Ron next to the window. Harry sat next to Izzie, who was taking most of the bench.

"How long has she been like that?" Remus asked who was smiling to himself.

"A while now," Hermione answered, "She listens to her music very loudly. She always like this?"

"Yes most of the time. I have to live with her when she blasts her bomb box," Remus replied.

"Bomb box?" Ron asked.

"It's a muggle thing, Ron," Harry answered his question.

"Does she know her ipod won't work at Hogwarts, because of all the magic that surrounds the school?" Hermione asked.

"No. Not yet. But she will be devastated. Music is her life. Music helped her get threw some hard times," Remus said.

Harry has been dying to ask something, "What made her react so badly to that Dementor?"

"Her past," but before someone could ask Remus added, "It is her past to tell, not mine."

Watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

Saving me raping me

Watching me
