Harry Potter and the Exchange Students

Chapter #10 Old Moon Mansion

"Next time don't fall asleep"

Charlotte's perspective

We are all ready to go to find a good spot on the train before everybody takes them. Meanwhile, Audrie and Hermione were talking about some book and Ron & Harry were eating candy that we bought from the trolley. I'm planning to try to stay calm during winter break because I certainly can't risk it since I'm spending most of the day with them, then out of nowhere Ron decided to ask me

"What are you doing during the long trip?"

I didn't know what to do so I just answered

"I don't know, I packed my sketchbook, so maybe I'll draw... Why do you ask?"

"Just curiosity, Harry can I have a moment with you"

He dragged Harry before he could answer.

Ron's perspective

Since that day that Charlotte broke a wooden table I wanted to know what going on with her so I needed Harry's help, after dragging him outside the booth he said

"What do you need Ron?"

"I know you don't accept it but... I want to figure out what's wrong with Charlotte"

"Why"

"So we, or you, or me, could help her"

"She said she'll tell us about it when she's ready"

"Have you heard her say it, it's been a long time don't you wanna helpmate?"

"I do, but as Audrie said, let's not push her. Cause maybe, she's probably overwhelmed"

"Ok... But if something happens like at the Three Broom Sticks, we need to know how to help her"

"Fine"

We went back to where the girls were, but we didn't find them.

That was because they already found a good compartment for ourselves.

"Ohh... We see you found a good spot"

"Yes Ron, while you two left we found this empty compartment"

Hermione responded, with a bit of a sassy tone if I do say so myself. Then Charlotte said

"Where were you anyway?"

"We... we're looking for an empty compartment, but we didn't find any"

"Ok"

That was the last thing said before we entered what felt like eternal silence for most of the train ride.

Hermione and Audrie were reading, Charlotte was drawing and Harry fell asleep. So I just fell asleep too.

Charlotte's perspective

Audrie and Mione read a lot, I mean a lot, Audrie's not the kind of sleeping on trips but she did and so did Hermione, so I was the only one awake...great-ish. I decided to go outside since Harry slept on my shoulder, thank Merlin he doesn't drool. When I went outside I heard a familiar voice, I'm an eavesdropper so yeah I heard the conversation...

"You need to help me, okay I want to at least deal with Audrie you can go with the Hufflepuff girl."

"Fine, fine if you are going to keep whining then okay"

"Yes!, I mean great"

I could feel myself getting mad, I didn't want to go without doing anything. So I threw my last candy (not eaten yet) to the Zabini's head (who I later recognized). I missed it, I usually have very good aim but his head moved so I ran back to my compartment mad. Everyone was still asleep, we were already arriving so I decided to have fun when the train stopped so I yelled
