I'm not a coward, just shy (Hogwarts fanfic)

ch 3- idiots

We left Diagon ally, Mr Weasley being dragged by the ear by Mrs Weasley. Fred and George were half excited and half disappointed. They were excited because they had no idea I could fight even though I really didn't do much but they say Malfoy face went very pale. They were disappointed because they want to see Mr Malfoy sucker punched, which I wanted to see that too but it could get Mr Weasley into trouble. However my mind wasn't on that subject for long. I could help thinking about the girl with mismatched clothes and white blonde hair. She was so interesting and she didn't seem to fear what people said about her. She was the complete opposite of me. I sat on my bed, strumming a mindless tune on my guitar, Stormy standing on my shoulders. She Meaw, attacking the parts of my hair that stood up. I smiled to myself. Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess on the floor and had just finished packing everything for Hogwarts.

"Damnit" Harry moaned as he lost again.

"I win" Ron grin.

"I give up, Taylor you want a try" Harry asked.

"The future changes to often, the change make my head hurt, I am pretty terrible anyway" I said putting down my guitar.

"Can't you, like, turn it off" Ron asked.

"What like you turn off your hearing" I smiled. Harry chortled with laugher while Ron looked a little stunned.

"Blimey, that was a good come back" he muttered.

The next morning was mayhem of last minute packing and running back and forth. I was sitting on top of Ron's trunk as we tried to close it. It finally gave and we were able to close it. Mr Weasley had put an expansion charm on the boot of his car, not to Mrs Weasley's knowledge, packing all our trunks in, me holding Stormy's cage in my lap, my guitar in trusted to Harry. After a very nervous ride to king's cross station, we piled our trunks onto trolleys and run full pleat into king's cross. We got to the gate and I went through with Percy first, who looked tricked off. After through I decided that i would just get on the train and wave goodbye out of the compartment window. After a while searching, I found I compartment with Neville Longbottom and my best friend Hermione Granger.

"Hey, Hermione, Neville" I nodded.

"Hey Taylor, how was your summer" Neville asked.

"Fine, noisy" I replied. "How about you" I huffed storing away my trunk and the sleeping stormy.

"Where is Harry and Ron, the train will be leaving soon" Hermione said looking worried.

"I thought they were right behind me, I am sure that they are just trying to find us" I reassured her but worry was creeping up my spine. As the train started to speed up, I felt my head ached. I summed into a seat, rubbing my eyes, groaning involuntarily, a pulling sensation in my gut.

"Are you alright" Neville asked.

"Just a head ache" however I knew it wasn't and so did Hermione.

"There's Trevor" She cried

"Where"

"He just hopped into the next carriage" Hermione said and Neville walked out.

A blue car soaring though the sky, following a scarlet train. The scene morphed. The sky was dark, the car was coming closer and closer to the ground. it looked like it was going to land, no not land, crash. It got closer and closer to a tree, it was just about to crash and them.... my eyes snapped open. My cheek sprung and my head throbbed. I looked into two of the same faces.

"I am seeing double" I groaned and grins spread across the face's of the Weasley twins. They backed off and I saw Hermione who was kneeling beside me, she was hiccupping and she looked scared and a little shocked. I pushed myself up.

"You ok Hermione, sorry, I guess it's a scary thing to watch" I tried to smile weakly, even though my cheek sprung. I winced and my hand fought to my cheek.

"Who snapped me" I rubbed my cheek.

"Sorry, that was my fault" Fred rubbed the back of his neck. Then Hermione who had composed herself asked.

"What did you see?"

"Mr Weasley's flying car, Harry and Ron are not on the train, they are following the train and they are going to crash into a tree at the Hogwarts grounds around the sorting" I said my conscious filling in the blanks and putting together the jigsaw.

"Wow, dramatic entrance much" George laughed.

"Sounds like harry and Ron, alright, those two attracted trouble" Fred joined George's laugher. "Mrs Weasley will be very angry" I said getting off the floor and on to one of the seats.

"That's Mum and Dad to you, you're part of the family now" Fred lumped next to me and messed up my hair.

"Sorry, I am not used to the whole mum and dad thing" I blushed.

"Well get used to it or I'll dye your hair ginger to match" Fred and George looked mischievously at each other and I knew they weren't joking for a minute.

Sadly I didn't get a chance to warn Professor Dumbledore about my vision and I was a nervous wreck the whole way through the carriage ride and I waited for it. We were half way through the sorting when and to my horror "Professor Lockhart" was the new defense teacher , the sound of breaking twigs and an almightily crash sounded. Professors McGonagall and Snape lefted quickly, Professor Lockhart following saying how they could use his experience and fighting skills. However after being told off by McGonagall, he returned like a wounded puppy.

"Professor Flitwick, would you take Professor McGonagall's place" Dumbledore smiled kindly. So Professor Flitwick jumped down from his sat and took the list of new students.

"I hope there not hurt" Hermione mumbled.

The rest of the feast was me hiding as much food as I could so harry and Ron could have something to eat. I managed to hide a few rolls and some cookies, along with a few other things that would mess up my pockets. I clapped when Ginny got into Gryffindor and I show her again. Luna Lovegood who was sorted into Ravenclaw. I blushed and looked away quickly when she smiled and waved at me. Unluckily Fred noticed the exchange and smiled to George. Once the feast was finished, Me and Hermione rushed back to the dorms where we were let in but the prefects.

Harry and Ron were slumped in the room and only looked up from the floor when I came in.

"What were you thinking" I felt the nervousness I had felt since I had since the vision melt into fury. "You could have been killed with the stunt you pulled, why did you think taking a flying car to the school was a good idea" I even surprised myself with the harness of my words. "Did you think it was cool to make such an entrance" Ron winced and I saw Harry's anger boil up.

"It's not like we had a choice-" He snapped.

"You didn't have a choice, you had many choices that were not as reckless. You could have waited and then took the floo network to Hogsmeade and walked to the school and explained!" I was have shouting now. I said shoving the food I stole into his hands.

"Why are you even so angry" Ron said his anger building now.

"Because I saw it and I thought you could have died!" I shouted, my throat raw. This wasn't a lie. The idea had rolled inside the back of my mind. They seemed stunned by this.

"Is something wrong" Seamus and Dean appeared in the door way.

"Everything is fine" I said my face going blank, however the harness was not gone from my voice. I didn't talk to anyone except the odd one word answer before, crawling on to my four-poster and drawing the curtains, My anger melting into silent tears. Idiots I thought because I drifted off to sleep.
