THE ARISE OF A LITTLE SISTER[Percy Little sis of boy who lived (Book 1)]

CHAPTER 7 : HOGWARTS EXPRESS

LAIA POV

It's really nice to meet Harry again after a long month—it feels like a decade to me. After learning Harry isn't happy with the Dursleys, I don't want him with them. I even asked Mum to request Dumbledore to bring Harry with us, but Dumbledore didn't accept the request. Mum said he obviously has his reasons. I don't know if that's good or bad news, because I'm already in a dilemma about what I've done. Did I insist on Harry struggling with Gabe? But at least he'll have Mum. That's why I asked Mum, but... alright, if Mum and Remus trust Dumbledore, then he has my trust as well.

Oh, back to the Hogwarts Express. We've been talking about how we spent the month since we last met. At that time, a red-haired boy asked for a seat, and after we said it was no problem, he took a seat opposite Harry and stole glances at him many times. I think he knows Harry Potter. And once again, the carriage door opened, and this time, the red-haired twins entered. They introduced their little brother to Harry and left. Finally, Ron gained the courage to ask Harry,

"Are you really Harry Potter?" Harry nodded and showed his modesty. Only then did I realize the twins said their last name was Weasley. Oh my God, my Mum asked me to convey her greetings to them, so I asked,

"By the way, you guys are the Weasleys, right?" His face darkened, and he nodded. I think their family isn't appreciated, but I don't think so. My Mum speaks very highly of them.

"Oh my goodness, my Mum asked me to convey her greetings to your parents. I've been searching for you guys for a while at the station, you know. Can you convey my Mum's greetings to them for me? By the way, my Mum's name is Sally Black, your parents' junior." This news lightened his face.

"You're Sally's daughter?"

"You knew her?"

"How can I not? Mom and Dad talked about her a lot. She never judged anyone by their family, and we want to learn that from her. Even though she is the daughter of You-Know-Who, she never showed blood prejudice."

"Oh yeah, Mum is always kind."

After Ron and Harry talked about their second-hand things, Ron told us about his two brothers who had completed Hogwarts and were working, and about the house they were going to be sorted into and Quidditch (which I am strictly not allowed to participate in, for some unknown reason according to Mum and Remus). Then there was a great clattering outside in the corridor, and a smiling, dimpled woman slid back the door and said,

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" Harry leapt to his feet, but Ron's ears went pink again, and he muttered that he'd brought sandwiches. Harry went out into the corridor. Harry brought the whole trolley's worth; Ron's sandwich was left behind.

"What are these?" Harry asked Ron, holding up a pack of Chocolate Frogs.

"They're not really frogs, are they?"

"No, but see what the card is. I'm missing Agrippa."

"What?"

"Oh, of course, you wouldn't know—Chocolate Frogs have cards inside them, you know, to collect—Famous Witches and Wizards. I've got about five hundred, but I haven't got Agrippa or Ptolemy."

Harry got a Dumbledore card; I was curious. I peeked into it. It showed a man's face. He wore half-moon glasses, had a long crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and mustache. Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore. After a while, he moved. Ron explained that pictures can move in the wizarding world. We had a good time eating Every-Flavour Beans. Harry got toast, coconut, baked bean, strawberry, curry, grass, coffee, sardine, and even nibbled the end of a funny gray one Ron wouldn't touch, which turned out to be pepper. I was displeased with salami. How could they kill fish? Fish are not supposed to be food. My Mum and I never liked fish as food. Yes, fish are friends, not food. Sometimes, I imagine fish are talking to me, but the doctors have told me that these are symptoms of ADHD. Whatever. Fish are not food. After a while, there was a knock on the door of their compartment, and the round-faced boy came in.
