A Proper lady ( Harry Potter X Reader female)

Chapter 51 train ride 3

Y/n's pov

"WILL YOU LOT GET DOWN HERE NOW, PLEASE!" Mrs. Weasley bellowed. That was the first thing I heard as I woke up.

Mrs. Black's portrait was howling with rage but nobody was bothering to close the curtains over her; all the noise in the hall was bound to rouse her again, anyway.

"Harry, you're to come with me and Tonks," shouted Mrs. Weasley over the repeated screeches of 'MUDBLOODS! SCUM! CREATURES OF DIRT!' "Leave your trunk and your owl, Alastor's going to deal with the luggage.... Oh, for heavens sake, Sirius, Dumbledore said no!"

A bearlike black dog had appeared at Harry's side as he was clambering over the various trunks cluttering the hall to get to Mrs. Weasley.

'Oh honestly...' said Mrs. Weasley despairingly, 'well on your own head be it!'

She wrenched open the front door and stepped out into the weak September sunlight. Harry and the dog followed her.

Just like that they had left. I had packed my bags the night before so I gabbed then and hurried down the Hermione.

"Hey when are we leaving?" I ask her.

"Soon they just needed to get harry out first." She replies.

-_-_-_-_- (yay time skip)

We meet harry at the train station. Hermione and Ron went off to go do prefect things leaving me and harry with ginny.

The three of us start walking down the train hoping to find a empty compartment.

In the very last carriage we met Neville, his round face shining with the effort of pulling his trunk along and maintaining a one-handed grip on his struggling toad, Trevor.

"Hi, Harry, y/n," he panted. 'Hi, Ginny.... Everywhere's full.... I can't find a seat...."

"What are you talking about?" says Ginny, who had squeezed past Neville to peer into the compartment behind him. 'There's room in this one, there's only Loony Lovegood in here--'

"Luna lovegood." I correct her.

Neville mumbled something about not wanting to disturb anyone.

'Don't be silly,' said Ginny, laughing.

"She wouldn't bite at least I don't think so." I say.

She slid the door open and pulled her trunk inside. Harry and Neville followed.

'Hi, Luna,' Ginny says.

"hi Luna it okay if we sit here?" I ask.

The girl beside the window looked up. She had straggly, waist-length, dirty-blonde hair, very pale eyebrows and protuberant eyes that gave her a permanently surprised look. She nodded.

'Thanks,"said Ginny, smiling at her.

Harry and Neville stowed the three trunks and Hedwig's cage in the luggage rack and sat down. Luna watched them over her upside-down magazine, which was called The Quibbler. She did not seem to need to blink as much as normal humans. She stared and stared at Harry, who had taken the seat opposite her.

I sit next to ginny who sat right next to Luna. I had known of Luna but I haven't ever had the time to talk to her. I mean ever sense I came to Hogwarts crazy things have happened.

"Had a good summer, Luna?" Ginny asked.

'Yes," said Luna dreamily, without taking her eyes off Harry. "Yes, it was quite enjoyable, you know. You're Harry Potter," she added.

"I know I am," says Harry.

Neville chuckled. Luna turned her pale eyes on him instead.

'And I don't know who you are."

'I'm nobody,' said Neville hurriedly.

"No you're not," said Ginny sharply. "Neville Longbottom--Luna Lovegood. Luna's in my year, but in Ravenclaw."

Luna then turns to me

"I'm guessing your y/n McGonagall's granddaughter."

"Yep that me." I say a little annoyed. Are there luna didn't notice or didn't care because she went back to her magazine.

The train rattled onwards, speeding them out into open country. It was an odd, unsettled sort of day; one moment the carriage was full of sunlight and the next they were passing beneath ominously grey clouds.

"Guess what I got for my birthday?" said Neville.

"Another Remembrall?"said Harry.

"No,"said Neville. " I could do with one, though, I lost the old one ages ago.... No, look at this...."

He dug the hand that was not keeping a firm grip on Trevor into his schoolbag and after a little bit of rummaging pulled out what appeared to be a small grey cactus in a pot, except that it was covered with what looked like boils rather than spines.

"Mimbulus mimbletonia,"he said proudly.

"That's very cool Neville." I say.

"It's really, really rare," said Neville, beaming. "I don't know if there's one in the greenhouse at Hogwarts, even. I can't wait to show it to Professor Sprout. My Great Uncle Algie got it for me in Assyria. I'm going to see if I can breed from it."

'Does it--er--do anything?" he asked.

I wish I could elbow him for being rude

"Loads of stuff!"said Neville proudly. "It's got an amazing defensive mechanism. Here, hold Trevor for me...."

He dumped the toad into Harry's lap and took a quill from his schoolbag. Luna Lovegood's popping eyes appeared over the top of her upside-down magazine again, watching what Neville was doing. Neville held the Mimbulus mimbletonia up to his eyes, his tongue between his teeth, chose his spot, and gave the plant a sharp prod with the tip of his quill.

Liquid squirted from every boil on the plant; thick, stinking, dark green jets of it. They hit the ceiling, the windows, and spattered Luna Lovegood's magazine; Ginny and I had flung our arms up in front of our faces just in time, but Harry, whose hands had been busy preventing Trevor's escape, received a faceful.

Neville, whose face and torso were also drenched, shook his head to get the worst out of his eyes.

'Sosorry," he gasped. 'I haven't tried that before.... Didn't realise it would be quite so... Don't worry, though, Stinksap's not poisonous,' he added nervously, as Harry spat a mouthful on to the floor.

At that precise moment the door of their compartment slid open.

'Oh ... hello, Harry,' said a nervous voice. 'Um ... bad time?'

"Oh ... hi," said Harry blankly.

I roll my eyes.

'Um...' said Cho. 'Well ... just thought I'd say hello ... 'bye then.'

Rather pink in the face, she closed the door and departed.

'Never mind,' said Ginny bracingly. 'Look, we can easily get rid of all this.' She pulled out her wand. 'Scourgify!"

The Stinksap vanished.

'Sorry.' said Neville again, in a small voice.
