Merabeth Lyra (A Harry Potter Fanfiction) - Discontinued

The Ride

Chapter 6-The Ride

I had a brown leather satchel with me that have my glasses (yes, I do wear glasses), loads of gum and a notebook with its pen in it. I took my book out, the cover is made out of wool. I remember it as something my dad gave me at the age of 5. He said it used to belong to Gran, which is probably Gran Narcissa.

I wrote notes about spells that dad told us about.

There was a knock on the glass door that kept the aisle apart from the seats.

“Can we come in?” two tired looking boys said between pants (A/N: not an article of clothing).

“Yes” I said as I got up to open the door.

It was either they we’re too tired or they didn’t expect me to let them in but they fell flat to the ground.

“Are you okay?” Nyx asked to the curly haired boy.

I think she fancies him.

“Yea, I’m fine.” the curly haired boy replied with a smile.

We helped both of the boys up.

“Sorry for disturbing but we couldn’t find a seat” the straight haired boy said.

“No worries.” I replied.

Not long after a seriously awkward moment the sweets cart came by.

“Sweets?” the old lady pushing the cart asked.

“Four chocolate frogs please.” the curly haired boy said.

I think he’s been here before.

“Here you go.” the lady said.

“Thank you.” he replied.

He took a seat and gave one chocolate frog to each of us.

“Be careful, it may jump,” he said with a chuckle.

What I guess to be his brother also laughed it off.

I opened it slowly knowing that the warning might be useful, it is no longer a normal world anymore.

As I opened it, I grabbed the chocolate and took a quick bite.

Nyx opened hers and it escaped. Magic.

“There’s a collectible card.” The straight haired boy told me.

I took mine.

“Albus Dumbledore” I said.

“I got him too,” the curly haired boy said.

He showed the card to Nyx.

“You haven’t introduced yourself.”  I quickly said before I forgot to ask.

“James, James Sirius Potter.” The curly haired boy said as he shook my hand and Nyx’s.

I knew it! They we’re the Potters I saw earlier this morning. That’s why they seemed so familiar.

“Albus Severus Potter” The straight haired boy said as he shook my hand and Nyx’s.

“Well, I’m Jennyx Lynx and she’s” Nyx said.

“Merabeth Lyra and we are…” I said with a pause.

“The Malfoy Twins!” we said together and ended it with a laugh.

They shared a weird look.

“Malfoy, our dad’s- used to be- our dad’s mortal enemy.” James said.

“Potter, our dad’s- used to be- our dad’s mortal enemy.” Nyx replied with the famous Malfoy smirk.

Then a girl ran through the aisle stopped in front of ours and opened the door.

“Hi! I’m Annabelle Black!” she said cheerfully.

“Bloody hell! Is that really you?” she said to Nyx and me.

“Yes, Annabelle it is us. It’s been a long time since we last met.” we said in unison.

“Pavryll and Penelope are signaling me to come back! See you soon!” Annabelle said and left.

We chatted for a while.

“We should all get a rest. It’s a long trip.” James told us.

He’s experienced, I should ask which year he’s in.

“Second year?” Nyx asked him.

“Yup” he replied popping the ‘p’

Well, that answered my question.

As I closed my eyes, I just realized how cold the train keeps getting.

I started shivering. Hardcore.

I felt some kind of wool sweater or blanket put over me.

I felt much warmer, I fell fast asleep.

-----30 minutes later-----

“Merabeth, Merabeth, Merabeth. Wake up…” a voice woke me up.

I slowly woke up to the wool sheet that covered me. It’s a sweater.

I took my glasses and put them on. The sweater has the letter ‘A’ on it with the same color as mine.

“Is this yours Albus?” I asked with my sleepy voice and sleepy eyes as always, holding up the blanket.

“Yea, um, I thought you were cold.” Albus replied with a smile.

“I was, you have good instincts.” I said with a chuckle.

“No, you were just shivering.” he replied.

Someone barged in.

“You should all get changed to your robes we’re almost here!” a girl practically squealed.

I didn’t see her face as she went away as soon as we looked.

We changed into our robes as quick as possible.

We enjoyed the last minutes of being in the train.

“Do you think I will be put in Slytherin?” Albus asked James.

“I don’t know.” James replied.

“Don’t worry, Slytherin’s not that bad if you don’t want to be bad, like dad used to be” I comforted him.

“Thanks.” Albus replied.

The same girl as before came running through the aisle.

“Look out your windows! We have arrived!” the girl shouted.

We looked out, in the distance we could see a castle like building.

“That is Hogwarts.” James said as he pointed towards the castle like building.

“Wicked.” Nyx managed to say out in awe.
