Peril on the Train - Part 1

Voldemort grew stronger and stronger, he heard of a prophecy about a boy who would eventually destroy him. Frightened to lose all of his powers he confronts the boy in his home while he is still a baby. Parents couldn't protect him, then Voldemort shouted the curse that would kill the boy who could bring him trouble. Only it backfired upon him, as he and the baby died.

"How tragic, the boy died as baby" Hermione thought.

She was sitting in the train towards Hogwarts and stared out of the window for a moment. It was already dark outside and the weather was bad. It rained so hard you hardly could look outside. Luckily for her she was sitting dry in a train and, what she loved most of all, reading a book. This book was titled "The Rise and Fall of Voldemort ".

She had already changed into her school uniform.
This outfit consisted of a white shirt and a grey skirt, white socks and plain shoes, and to tip it off a black robe.
So she could read the book all the way to Hogwarts.

She sat alone in this part of the train, and actually she did not mind it. It gave her al the needed silence to just read and not getting disturbed by anyone. As she dug into her book again she did not notice the figure standing at the door.

She jumped when the door opened and Ron Weasley came walking in.

"Easy Hermione it's just me, Ron" he said.

Hermione always had been good friends with Ron and they kinda started dating last year.

"Oh hey Ron, what's up ?" she asked him.

"Nothing in particular just wanted to check out if everything was okay" he answered.
"Only a phew hours left before we arrive at Hogwarts" he said smiling.

"Yeah, can't wait for this year to start, although hope I your almighty little sister stops being a pain in the ass towards me" she said.

Although her relationship with Ron was a little more then just friends, she just could not stand Ron's little sister Ginny. She made use of the fact they were rich and called herself the Pureblood Princess. One thing was sure and that was that Ginny didn't like Hermione either.

"Well I am off to check the rest of the train, catch you later" he said.

Ron was selected Head Boy, so he had to make sure everything was going alright.

"Hey Ron, before you go, do you think if Harry Potter was still alive, we could have been friends ? she asked "I mean Harry, you and me ?"

"Who knows" Ron answered as he walked out of the cabin.

After some time, in which she was reading her book again, she did not notice that the door had slid open a little. Neither did she noticed a wand was pointing at her trough that little gap.

Just when the figure was about to fire a spell she heard footsteps coming closer.
She quickly pocketed her wand, and made a run for it, she would return later.

Neville and Luna showed up around the corner and were walking towards Hermione's cabin.

When they opened the door, Hermione again jumped up.

"C'mon can't someone read a book around here anymore without getting disturbed" Hermione said slightly agitated.

"Sorry Hermione" Luna said "But it's just me and Neville".

They sat down opposite of Hermione and looked at the book she was reading.

"You know my dad wrote a article in the quibbler about that book" Luna said "Appears the book is not right about many facts ".

Hermione chose to ignore that comment and looked at Neville.
Neville was looking a little nervous and just stared out of the window.

"Well what is it ?" Hermione asked after none of them said something to her.

"Oh yeah" Luna said dreamy "Where about to pull a prank on Malfoy, want to join in ?"

Hermione thought about it for a second, but she really wanted to read on in her book.

"No sorry guys, I really want to finish this book before we get at Hogwarts, but have fun" she answered.

"To bad" Luna said while standing up "C'mon Neville let's get going".

They both gave a short wave while leaving the cabin and returning from where they came.

"Salvio Hexia" whispered the voice while casting this spell upon herself. The figure became nearly invisible. She always had been very adept in this camouflage spell.
Of course it wasn't as good as her Bat-Bogey Hex, but never the less very good.

She walked towards the carriage Hermione was sitting in and slowly opened the door.
She opened it just enough so she would fit trough.
Luckily for her Hermione did not notice, she was reading a book again.
Slowly she closed the door and sat down opposite of Hermione.

"Hello Hermione" she said.

Hermione looked up from her book to check out the voice, but she could not see anyone in front of her, neither on both sides of her.

Although she could not see anyone, she recognized that voice. She could recognize that voice everywhere, because it belonged to the girl she hated most…
