Chapter VITuesday, September 1, 1992Escorted by Jason, Harry and Hermione arrived at Platform 9 3/4 forty-five minutes early.Hermione, on the verge of full adolescence, was overwhelmed by Jason and intrigued by the nowlean,muscular, and studious Harry. Hermione may have already read through all of Lockhart'sbooks, but he would never stir aheartbeat.The pair settled into their compartment quickly. Neville found them some ten minutes later. Anumber of other students in their year came by to say hello to Hermione, and then to Harry as well.Harry was impressed that Hermione seemed to know everyone in their year. Even two Slytherins,Tracey Davis and Daphne Greengrass, said hello politely.The Weasleys surged onto the train with just a few minutes to go. Ron looked through the cars untilhe found Harry. He was trailed by his sister and a tiny nervous blonde with long hair. "Hey, Harry!"Ron said, dragging his caged rat in. "Neville, Hermione."He looked back at Harry. "Why <strong>didn't</strong> youever write?""I did," Harry answered tightly.Ron frowned. "Hedwig never showed up.""My relatives killed her," Harry said pointedly while the others glared angrily at Ron. The Dursleys'killing Hedwig had been in the news reports, along with the stories about Harry. Ron, however, hadnot really read them. "I had a letter delivered to you in mid-July. It was placed on your pillow andspelled so that only you would really notice it.""Really?" Ron concentrated for a moment. "Oh, I remember now. Ithought it was some joke of Fredand George's. Sorry." With that, Ron dis<strong>miss</strong>ed the summer and turned around. "Don't you two havesomeplace else to go?" he demanded."No," Ginny retorted. "I don't want to sit with Percy, or Fred and George for that matter, any morethan you do.""Mum said you should sit. . . .""With one of my brothers. If you aren't my brother, say so now,"Ginny pouted."That doesn't work on me like it does Dad, Bill, and George," Ron retorted. He glared at Luna."And what's your excuse, Loony?"Luna recoiled slightly. "I don't know anyone else," she said nervously. She had not been away fromher father for more than afew hours since her mother's death. She had hoped she might find somefriends."Ronald, don't be a prat," Hermione commanded. "Come in, you two, there's room."Luna sat next to Hermione (who was next to Harry), while Ginny sat next to Neville. Ron came inlast, as both girls had kicked him on the shin (Ginny twice) and it took him a minute to recover.After everyone introduced themselves, Luna asked, "If you don't mind, are the stories about you this
summer in The Daily Prophettrue?"Harry shrugged. "More or less. I really don't want to talk about my relatives, and I can't talk aboutmost of the rest of it.""I understand," Luna said. She looked at Ginny, who was alternating between gazing at Harry andglaring at Hermione, before going back to Harry. "I was sorry to hear about your familiar.""Thank you," Harry managed.From there, the group relaxed. They spent the trip talking, mostly aimlessly, although Lunaruthlessly pumped the second years about the staff and the classes, which Hermione enjoyed. Harrytreated everyone to snacks from the cart, although Hermione made them eat their sandwiches first.Harry was kind enough to trade one of his chicken Panini for one of Ron's corned beef sandwiches.Only Hermione and Luna noticed Harry glancing at times in Ron's general direction, a puzzled lookon his face.*Harry was not totally surprised when Draco and his two bookends showed up about two thirds ofthe way through the trip. Also not really surprisingly, Malfoy was smirking.After a few moments, Harry asked, "Did you want something, or did you need help getting yourface unfrozen?"Malfoy's smirk faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "I never thought Muggles hadmany uses. Now I know they can't even do something simple, like get rid of you.""They came a lot closer than your father's master did," Harry said, holding his temper. "I guess thatmakes Muggles superior to your Dark Lord Voldifart."Ron, Neville, and Ginny all stopped mid-wince, while Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle stopped midoutragedexpression.Luna giggled, while Hermione rolled her eyes.Malfoy couldn't quite recover, as he both needed to deny that his father followed the Dark Lord, andyet had been offended by the term Potter had used. He couldn't figure out which to do first, and sowas making inarticulate noises."Yes, yes," Harry said dis<strong>miss</strong>ively, "we know. Your father <strong>didn't</strong> really follow Moldifart, he wasso weak-minded that the great evil sorcerer whose magic couldn't kill a toddler could control himand about twenty others, all at the same time, even though it's impossible to use the Imperius Curseon more than one person at atime. And we know that the Great and Evil Dork Lord, who was reallya half-blood named T. . . .""SHUT YOUR FACE!" Malfoy screamed."Malfoy, I've heard five year old girls scream with more balls than that. Why don't the three of yougo follow each other's butts in a circle somewhere else until someone finds you who cares." Harrystood, pushed the confused Malfoy out, and shut the door.
