Another Weasley (FTM OC)

Chapter 3: Trains and Trifle

It's not long before Draco and Cayden are ready to board the train for their third year of school. Ms. Malfoy sends the two off and they meet up with a few others, Blaise was already there with a girl named Pansy. It wasn't long before Crabbe, Goyle, and Theodore Nott joined them. The compartment was just large enough to fit them all but still Cayden felt cramped. All the excitement for the new school year wasn't helping. Not to long after the train started rolling Cayden dropped his stuff down on his seat before making a flimsy excuse and going to find Ginny. He found her in a compartment across from a white haired girl.

"Hey Ginny." Cayden says.

"Oh Cayden you're here, umm this is Luna Lovegood she is a ravenclaw in my year." Ginny says.

"Pleased to meet you Luna. How are you doing Ginny?" He asks taking a seat next to Luna.

"Alive thanks to you and Harry, thanks for that I never got to see you after, you disappeared." She says worry filling her voice.

"Ah no need to thank me, couldn't let a bright witch like you end her schooling before she's even learnt a proper hex or two now could I." He says. "As for the disappearance I have to keep the cool mysterious slytherin persona up, how would it look if i didn't make a dramatically silent escape." Ginny laughs and Cayden smiles.

"You are very interesting Cayden Prewett, can you feel it too?" Luna asks.

"Pardon?"

"You feel it, like me. I can feel it too." She stays stoic like a statue so much if you didnt hear her voice you wouldn't notice her speaking.

"Sorry feel what exactly?" Cayden says his words turning harsher. He never had the patience for others.

"Their emotions, it floats along like a river running from them to us." She turns to face Cayden. "I feel it too."

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about. I'll see you later Ginny." Cayden says walking out of their compartment. Just as luck would have it, on his way back to his compartment the train comes to a hard stop. Cayden gets flown back straight into the door of a compartment. And who other than Harry Potter himself opens up the door.

"You alright mate?" Harry says dragging Cayden into the compartment, closing the doors behind him.

"Yeah, heads killing me though. Wait who is that?" He asks.

"New professor." Hermione answers. 

Unfortunately that's all that anyone managed to ask before the lights flicker and the entire compartment goes black. Even the midday light from the windows is gone. Cayden feels the panic rising which is not helped by Neville walking terrified into the compartment. He holds his head trying to stop the pain from the crash and the fear from everyone to consume him. Then as if the compartment couldn't get more crowded Ginny walks in. Everyone tries to make sense from the darkness until a voice only belonging to someone who's had a pack too many shouts for quiet. He holds flames up to his face telling the students to stay there. Cayden can't help but to stare at the mans face. Even in the darkness he can see the scars all along his face. They arent burns or something, they look like he got into a fight with an animal with big claws. He can't dwell on what animal could have made such marks before a hooded figure opens the door. Cayden feels like he should know what it is but he feels frozen. There is absolutely no emotion coming off of it. He wants to scream throw up or pass out, maybe do all three. Harry however seems more decisive as he falls into Cayden who immediately catches him and gently lays down his head shielding him from whatever the figure could be. He lays harry flat on his back his head in Cayden's lap. Honestly the boy was heavy enough to catch gently he didnt feel like adding a spinal injury to that. He really wished madame pomfry was here, she would know what to do. He runs through the two times he had found himself in her wing last year. Nothing about fainting comes to mind. Luckily for Cayden he doesn't need to do much as the figure leaves the light reentering the room. Ron decides to take initiative by trying to wake harry up by slapping his face.
