The Grindelwalds 2

Johnny Dipper Part 13

About 30 minutes have passed and the train was now filling up with more students. Luzia could have sworn that she'd seen Benji and his 2 friends Timmy Robinson who was in Hufflepuff and Jimmy Carter who was in Ravenclaw walk past.

"I'm sure we will be setting off soon." Penelope said.

"Hmm, sorry about Michelle and Liberty. I figure we will be sharing a room with her again."

Last year, Michelle Porter was Penelope's best friend. They were friends until Professor McGonagall expelled Michelle's older sister Liberty Porter from school for bullying Luzia and causing her to do naughty things like killing her Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Michelle then stopped speaking to Penelope as she blamed her and her sister for Liberty being kicked out of school.

"Yeah, I havn't spoken to Michelle in moths, even before we left school last year. I can't imagine this year will be any different so I guess we will just have to stick together."

As she said this Johnny Dipper came past and saw Luzia. He opened the door and spoke.

"Hi Luzia and Penelope Grindelwald. Fancy seeing you here."

Johnny wasn't a very smart boy.

"We are on the train to go to school, of course we'd be here." Penelope told him.

Johnny looked a little different these days. He had grown a lot. He was now probably 6ft tall, last year he was probably only 5"6.  He had very pale skin, like ghost or vampire. He had green eyes and browny-blonde hair. He was also very thin.

"Hmm." He said in reply to Penelope.

"Please don't sit with us."

The train started to move.

"He could sit with us." Luzia said. She then whispered in Penelope's ear, "If he sits with us, Professor Villarreal won't have room to sit down."

Penelope nodded. "Your lucky that Luzia allowed you to sit here, get your bum in that chair before I change my mind."

Johnny quickly sat down.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Luzia asked Penelope.

"His to dumb for his own good."

"All have you know, my mum dropped me on my head as a baby, it isn't my fault I'm dumb."

Luzia quickly felt bad for Johnny. It wasn't his fault he was different.

"Being smart isn't important, I'm not smart either, Johnny." Luzia said.

"You seem smarter than me. Everyone is smart compared to me, test me I dare you."

Penelope and Luzia stared at each other.

"Ok, what is 10 + 10?" Asked Penelope.

"Hmm."  Johnny though for a moment. "Is it 11?"

Luzia and Penelope looked at each other shocked.

"Can't you count on your fingers?" Asked Luzia. "That's what I do."

"I never learnt to do that."

"It's easy, hold both of your hands out in front of you and count them, starting from 1 to 10."

Luzia showed him what she meant and counted out loud. After she counted a number she put that amount of finger up. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. There is 10 fingers now."

"Yes..."

"So do that twice and that will be 10 + 10."

"How do I do that?"
