One Stone Changes So Many Lives - Book 3/10

Chapter 5 - Catch up on the Train

Sabrina's POV

I flatten my top out a little, making sure I have everything I need. I walk through the barrier to the platform, turning to see the sign above me saying: 'Platform 9¾'.

I notice I am able to get a good view of the train, steaming its engine wildly, as there is practically no one here – Train doesn't leave for like a whole hour!

I take out my camera and take picture of it of the train, before pulling my trunk and Felix's cage onto the train, choosing a compartment in the middle of the train. I start reading one of my new book's in the hot September sun.

I opened the window of the hot, empty compartment and sat down, letting Felix out of his box. I heard the hundreds of students chatting away happily, some hanging out of the window to talk to their families.

I could hear a boy calling out over the crowd saying, "Gran, I've lost my toad again". I could see Lee, pushing his long dreadlocks away from his face, surrounded by a small crowd, who were apparently asking to see what was in the small brown box he was carrying. I got my book out of my satchel, and began reading, whilst waiting for the twins. The first whistle went off, warning the students they only had 15 minutes until the train was going to leave.

"Well Hellllloooo! You look so much hotter than when I last saw you!"

"Hello Lee" Looking up from my book, and placing the bookmark inside "How was your summer?"

"Not bad, went North of France for a couple of weeks, nothing too exciting. But don't try to change the subject, what actually happened to you!? I mean you look seriously hot!" Lee said his mouth never fully closing as he spoke.

"Nothing really. Went New York at the beginning of the summer, to see my brother. We took a holiday to Egypt, loving every second of course, before going back to New York" taking off my cardigan as it is seriously hot in this compartment "Then spent the rest of the time with my dad. He took me camping around Ireland and Wales".

He looks at me incredulously and apparently deciding I haven't told him the truth says "You musta done something else! I mean you look like well......5th year hot, not 3rd year hot!" he explains - I'm confused.

"What do you mean by 5th year hot?" I ask curiously.

He raises one eyebrow at me......"5th year hot is sexy hot!" Lee says winking at me.

"Oh put your eyes back inside your head, and your tongue for that matter! Or they will both find themselves under my cutting knife in potions!" I finish, stroking the back of Felix's head, giving him cheeky glares. The compartment doors open again.

"Oi Lee! You will never believe - " Fred begins before staring at me. George comes in closing the compartment door behind him, before turning round.

" - What we just....." George stops talking, his eyes also fixed on me.

"SABRINA!?" asks Fred, whose eyes seem glued to me also "You look different!"

"Told ya!" states Lee proudly. I glare at him evilly "I think I'm gonna go....and er....find Alicia and Angelina, and tell them.....er.....where we are" Lee says before hurrying off past the twins.

I smile triumphantly. "Anyways, what were you trying to say before you both forgot how to talk?" I ask looking at Fred, as he seems to be the only one, out of the two, that can take his eyes off of me.

"Oh yeah, you will never guess who we just met!" Fred says excitedly sitting down next to me.

"Who?" I ask looking at George, who really can't seem to work out how to close his mouth. "Oh for goodness sake's George! I don't look that different! I got a bloody haircut, and got forced to learn how to use bloody make-up. If you don't stop staring at me oddly, the second this train starts moving I will shove you off of it!" I snap sharply. He looks down at his feet.
