I sit next to the window and stare out of it. Ronald sits next to me and the boy sits across from me. I look at him. He's quite scrawny with emerald green eyes and ebony hair. His clothes are too big for him.
"Who are you anyway?" He asks.
"I'm Ron Weasley." Ronald replies.
I look at the boy. "I'm London. London Grace."
"London?"
I nod a little.
"How did your parents come up with that name?"
I look back out the window. "I don't know." I can feel the awkwardness in the car. None of us know what to say.
"So um what's your name mate?" Ron asks him.
"Harry Potter."
My head shoots towards him. Could he really be THE Harry Potter? The Boy Who Lived?
"No way." Ron sounds astonished at the fact that he's not just a fictional character we grew up listening to. "Do you really have the..." Ron lifts hair and indicates to his forehead. Harry nods and moves some of his hair to show us the scar on his forehead. The all-too-well-known lightning bolt scar. I giggle at my lovely best friend. He really is perfect.

After some time on the train Ron and Harry have eaten loads of candy and Ron has had the time of his life teaching Harry things. Harry had moved next to Ron and I kept my head on his shoulder staring out the window. Ronald and Harry were talking about Uncle Arthur's obsession with muggles when two girls came in. The both had brown hair though one girls was completely straight and the others was extremely curly.
"Have you seen a toad?" The girl with curly hair asks.
"A boy named Neville's lost one." The girl with straight hair finishes.
The three of us just shake our heads no.
"Hey," The girl with curls says as she points to Harry. "You're Harry Potter!"
I look at him and see him blushing a little and nods. "Yeah." He just says and looks down.
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"I'm Ron!" I laugh at his need to announce himself.
"Well if we're giving out names," the girl with straight hair says. "I'm Rachel. Rachel Heart."
"Would you like to join us?" I ask them?
Hermione shakes her head no as Rachel seats herself across from me.
Hermione just shakes her head a little and leaves the car.
