hufflepuffs Harry potter

train ride

After I get on to the first thing I noticed  it's really loud. Bunch of kids getting on all at once, talking to friends, and crowding the hallways.
I push through the line and quickly get into an empty compartment. It was much quiter in here thank goodness. I flop onto thr seat and relax.
Not too long later I hear the door open. It's the redhead that helped me at the gate. Ron?
"Do you mind if I sit, everywhere else is full"
I wave my hand to the open seats in front of me" not at all"
The boy sat across from me, " I'm ron. Ron wellesley "
" I'm Harry potter"
" t..that means y..you have th..the"  he nervously asks.
I tilt my head in confusion, " the what"
He leans in and whispers, " the scare"
I smile and lift up my hair showing off my scare," oh ya"
He relaxes as well, " wicked ".
I see something moving around in his pocket, " What's that", pointing to his pocket.
" it's my pet rat scabbers" he pulls out his rat. It looks really old and unwell. I give him a questioning look and nod. I regret asking. I high dough that rat will even last the year. " Oh you want to see some magic"
My eyes light up at the word magic," you can do magic".
He nods and pulls out his wand, " not anything big but I know a spell for my rat". I look at him very excited until I look back at the rat who looks scared for its life.
" you sure its safe."
" ya me and my brother do this all the time"
Right before Ron can cast the spell a girl opens the door, " Sorry to interrupt but you seen a toad, a boy named Neville has lost one". We shake our heads no. The notices Ron with his wand. " are you doing magic".
" ya I was just about to before you came in"
She crosses her arms, " well then let's see it"
Ron clears his through and says, " Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow." A yellow flash came out of Ron's wand but nothing. The rat was the same brown gray color. We look at ron confused.
" Are you sure it's a real spell?"
" Yes, me and my brothers do it all the time at home. I don't know why it didn't work" he says, frustrated, shakes his wand.
" Well it's not very good is it" the girl says with a smug look.
Ron pushes out his checks, " Well then let's see you do one".
" I don't more then some basic spell but they are much more real then your yellow rat".
" Well show us or are you all talk"
She huffs and looks at me, " I'll repaire our glasses".
I look at her very nervously." Wait no plz don't these-"
It was too late she already cast the spell," Oculus Reparo". She strands up straight and looks at ron all smugg like. I quickly take off my glasses. No nonono please be OK. To my surprise there ok.
" wow there better"
" see thats what a really spell looks like".
While I'm happy my glasses are repaired I've just had enough of these girl being rude to my friend. I Mean ron. " while I'm happy you were suggessfull I will ask you never to use a spell on someone with asking them first"
" Oh I'm sorry I didn't know-"
" then you should ask. Don't jump the gun. These could have been very special glasses and you could have ruined them. These are the only glasses I have. We are frist years and many are only using magic for the frist time. The fact you are being rude to ron messing up a spell is quite shows your true colors. "
" I'm sorry I guess I got carried away" she looks like down and sad. Urgg now I fell bad. I shouldn't she has been rude this whole time.
" anyway you said you were for a toad. I wouldn't mind exploring the train to try and find it"
Ron tries to speak but the girl beat him to it " that would be wonderful. The more the marrier. Oh pardon my manors I'm hermione granger and you are?". Ron with a grown to his voice introduce himself. I introduced myseld as well, though more cheerful. Her eyes light up " your Harry Potter I read all about you and your victory over you know who. Though no one will tell me who that is"
" Voldemort " I say  Nonchalantly.
Ron looks at me with great shock and fear, " harry you can't just speak his name like that".
I looked at him.confused, " why"
Hermione chimes in, " ya what's so scary about a name"
Ron pinches thr bridge of his nose" I don't know alot about it either but I know people die if they say his name. It's like putting a target on your back".
We both tense up. Hermione, " oh"
Ron , " ya you don't ever want to say his name" I look around all awkward  now. How do I always screw everything up.
Ron gets up, " come on the stupid frog won't find itself".
Hermione, " it's a toad actually "
Ron roles hus eyes, " whatever"
Hermione,  " theres a huge difference "

They kept blabbing on for awhile. It got kinda annoying. I just kept my mouth shut while looking around at the train. I had never been on a train before, it looks really cool. We made our way all the way up to the found of the train where I spotted the toad.
I pointed to it." Hay guys it's right there". But they didn't hear me over there "discussion". I role my eyes and pick up the toad and bring it them. " I got it"
" wow Harry where did you find it" Ron asked looking shawked.
I pointed to where I found it, " it was right over there. I tried telling you guys but you didn't hear me".
They look away embarrassed and both said sorry.
" I'll return that to Neville thanks for your help". She reaches her hands to the toad but I move away.
" I Wana do it. I found it "
" ok that's fair fallow me" she ran down thr hall. There a such thing as calm with this girl. Me and ron look at each other before running after her.

Hermione opens one of the compartment doors. A boy I'm guessing Neville responds, "oh Hermione did you find my toad" .
" nope but Harry did" she jesters towards  me. I shyly get in the door and show the toad.
" he was at the font of the train"
I hand Neville his  back" thank you so much. My gran would have killed me if I lost it"
I nod" I understand. Do you mind if we sit everywhere else is probably full"
" of yes of course " he says moving to make room. Patting the seat next to him.
I sit next ron while Hermione and Neville sit across from us.
Ron ask excited, " do you guys know what house you be apart of".
Hermione says smuggly, " no body knows what house they will be in it. It's choose for them. It says so in the history of hogwarts book"
Ron roles his eyes" ya but what house do you want to be apart of. My whole family is in griffindoor" he says smiling
Neville responds shly," my parents were in griffindoor too but my gran says ill be in hufflepuff. I think she is right im not very brave".
I ask Neville, " what house do you want to be apart of. Not what other think you will be ".
Neville shruggs his shoulders, " I don't know I never though of it before. I want to make my parents proud But I don't really know. I will probably just take whatever house I'm put in".
Ron, " as long as it isn't slytherin "
Neville nods, " yes I think I would get disowned for that"
Hermione ask, " What's wrong with slytherins. I know there ambushes and cunning but there's nothing wrong with that."
Ron, " there's nothing wrong with the  house  Treats but the people in it. Not one good wizard or witch has ever come out of slytherin"
Neville, " ya there reasonable for most of the last war"
Hermione, " o I heard about that. It was awfully but was finally finished by Harry defeating who know who"
I look away shyly." Also the night my parents were murder ". Everyone looks away awkwardly
Hermione, " Sorry I forgot about that part".
Ron, " no one really talks about that part just the victory"
Neville stays silent.
It stays silent for awhile until Ron ask Hermione, " Hermione I beat your going ravenclaw. Considering your loveeee for books" 
Hermione perks up, " probably all I want is to learn as much about magic as possible and prove it to others". Hermione truns to me" what about you Harry."
" I don't know honestly"
Ron, " you will probably be in griffindoors. The potters have been griffindoors for generations"
Hermione, " oh yes. I read all about them. The potters were even decent of godric griffindoors one of thr 4 founders of hogwarts ".
Wow even they know more about my family then me. I look away, " I don't know really"
Neville, " that's ok I'm sure what ever house your placed in you will do great in. You are the famous harry potter. What can't you do".
Except stand up to my family. Make others proud. Do one good thing in my life. I can't let other see me like this. Better they think I'm this strong hero they think I am then thr real coward I truly am. I nod, " thanks Neville I'm sure you will too".
We all smile, talk and even a few laughs for a last few hours left before we go to hogwarts. I hope I make the right choices.
