The Hogwarts Extras

•Mandrakes and Pixies•

September 1 1992

"I just want to get to Hogwarts already!" Complained Ritisha to the group. They sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, counting down the hours until they got to the school. "You're telling me, I just want to be in bed." Caylin yawned.

"Anything off the trolley dears?" Asked the old lady making her rounds. "No thank you, ma'am." Said Noemi politely. The lady smiled and walked off: pushing the cart to the next compartment.

Jada looked out the window lazily trying to get some shut eye, but suddenly shot her head up. "What the bloody hell is that?!"

She pressed her face to the glass and squinted her eyes. The B.B ran to the window and looked out as well. "Why, that looks like a car!" Exclaims Noemi.

"Why and how would a car be flying?!" Ritisha asked while still looking at the flying car that followed the train.

"I dunno, maybe we should tell someone." Suggesting Sam. "Nah, they're just going to think we're all crazy." Caylin sat back down, not taking her eyes off the car.

"Hey look! It's going up into the clouds!" Jada and Sam said at the same time. The girls looked and sure enough; the car was gone. "I bet we will find out what that was all about in the Daily Prophet or something tomorrow." Mumbled Sam.

It was the morning of the first day back of school and people were talking about the famous Harry Potter and Ron Weasley flying a car into school.

"Merlin, I rather be sick for the rest of the week than wake up at seven every day!" Ritisha groaned.
"It's even worse when Hermione decides to take a shower at six fifteen!" Added Parvati Patil, she and Ritisha became friends at the end of first year when they needed partners for Transfiguration.

"Hey, look! Mail!" Lavender pointed up, "Why would someone be getting mail on the first day?" Asked Ritisha.

An owl landed a few students past them right in front of Ron Weasley. "Oh no." Mumbled Parvati. "What? What is it?" Whispered Ritisha. "Ron's got a Howler!"

The redhead fumbled opening the red envelope with many eyes on him. The letter made a face and began to scream so the whole Great Hall could hear the women's voice:

"STEALING THAT CAR, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF THEY'D EXPELL YOU, YOU WAIT TILL I GET HOLD OF YOU, I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU STOPPED TO THINK WHAT YOUR FATHER AND I WENT THROUGH WHEN WE SAW IT WAS GONE-"

Her voice echoed the room. The poor boy looked as if he wanted to disappear that very minute and never return. A redhead girl diagonally to his left turned equally red, she tried to hid herself with her hair. Ritisha was pretty sure if she remembered correctly from the sorting, that is Ginny Weasley: Ron, Percy, and the Weasley twins' sister.

"-LETTER FROM DUMBLEDORE LAST NIGHT, I THOUGHT YOUR FATHER WOULD DIE OF SHAME, WE DIDN'T BRING YOU UP TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS, YOU AND HARRY COULD BOTH HAVE DIED-"

Ritisha's eyes wondered to Harry Potter, he looked awful. She wondered what was going through his head.

"-ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED- YOUR FATHER'S FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT, AND IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME."
