The Grindelwalds 3

Story Time Part 4

After about half an hour of waiting, crowds of people gathered on the platform and some children were finding seats on the train.

One of them was, Johnny Dipper. When he walked past the girls compartment he stopped and waved. Luzia stood up and pulled the door open for him.

"Come in Johnny."

"Thanks."

He had his hands full of books. He came in and sat opposite Luzia by the window.

"You ok, Johnny?" Ask Luzia.

"Yeah, I just wanted to come and say that I am sorry about Benji."

"Thanks." Penelope said.

"Yeah, thanks, Johnny." Luzia added.

"No problem, How was the funeral and stuff?"

"Fine I guess, we were all as brave as we could be." Luzia told him.

"Yeah...Look at this, my mum gave me some books to read while on the train."

Johnny held up 3 books. One was called, Wuthering Heights, the next was called Oliver Twist, and the other one was killed Time Machine.

"Cool." Penelope told him, "I read Wuthering Heights when I was in primary school."

"Is it any good?"

"I guess so. It is a love story type of book."

"Eww, that sounds too girly for me."

"Why did your mum give you a girly book?" Luzia asked.

"No idea, my mum always reads girly romance books and watches silly romance films on TV. Me and my dad hate it."

"Can I see it?" Luzia asked him.

"Sure."

Luzia turned the book over and read the blurb, 'Heathcliff, an orphan, is raised by Mr Earnshaw as one of his own children. Hindley despises him but wild Cathy becomes his constant companion, and he falls deeply in love with her. But when she will not marry him, Heathcliff's terrible vengeance ruins them all. Yet still his and Cathy's love will not die.'

"Hmm, sounds kind of cool."

"Take it if you like it so much."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'll pretend I lost it if my mum asks where it is."

"Cool, thanks Johnny."

"No worries. Do you two mind if I stay here with you for the journey?"

"No." Penelope said.

"Yeah stay."

"Thanks girls."

About 10 minutes later, Luke Urquhat and Sophie Smith from Gryffindor came walking past the compartment. They stopped walking and knocked on the door. Johnny jumped up and opened it for them.

"Erm hi Penelope and Luzia." Luke said. "We heard about Benji and we wanted to send our condolences."

"Thanks." Luzia said.

Penelope said nothing.

"Did the funeral go ok?"

"Why do you two care?" Penelope said.

"Cause we care-"

"No you don't."

"Fine, see you later then." Sophie said while pulling the door shut.

"I think you might of been too harsh on them." Johnny told her.

"Not my fault that they are mean people, them and Michelle hate us so why would I care about how they feel about Benji dying. They will probably bully us about it later anyway."
