The Secret Of Hogwarts

Chapter 3

They were greeted by the scarlet steam engine that was Hogwarts express. It was packed with people roaming in robes and the hoots of owl. And chattering of children, some in uniform while some in their regulars.

"Come on,here"Clark maneuvered them in the crowd.

They could feel the stares on their back, as they walked. People were whispering all around them.

"I swear if they keep staring I am gonna give them all a long eye." Jason fumed.

" Ignore them Jay and keep walking, " Dick made sure not to make eye contact with anyone.

Dick couldn't say that he wasn't bothered by people around them. But if the richest person who also teaches at the most renowned school, who also happens to be your father and guardian, mysteriously disappears without a trace, yeah, people would stare.

They pressed on through the crowd till the last empty compartment of train.

Damian, Jon and Tim got in first with all their pets.

"Help me shove these in, " Dick told Jason, grabbing a corner of the trunk.

"Let me give you a hand, " Clark said and before they could say a word, got both trunk in without any effort. Then they tucked them away the corner of their compartment.

"You going to sit with us? " Jon asked his father. He was sitting beside Damian who had claimed the window seat.

"No, " He gave a small smile when the three elder brothers sighed in relief, "There are a few conditions "he added.

"What? " Everybody asked simultaneously.

"No fighting, no cussing, maintaining behaviour and discipline, not too much sugar, no pranking, no jinxing anyone" He looked pointedly at Jason at the last last two conditions.
"And the most important, I should get my share of extra cookies, "he said with a smirk.

"What! "Jason cried out in dismay, "No!"

"Jason he is going to get those even if he sits here. So shut up and deal with it" Tim whisper yelled at him.

Jason was going to retort, but then an idea formed in his head. He smiled sweetly. Too sweetly. So sweetly it could give one diabetes. That scared the hell out Tim. "Okay Timmy, " He said

"Um Jay, " Tim was freaking.That smile meant no good. "Why are you smiling? "

"Why, " Jason placed his finger on his chin, as if thinking something serious, "hmm, maybe because I have some payback. " He grinned

"Jason, " Clark said, "You aren't allowed to have any payback too"

"Fine" Jason slumped against the seat. They weren't sure whether he would really heed it or not but they had to do with it.

"Good, so I am leaving, behave, " He said in a final warning.

"Thank god! "Dick sighed in relief, when Clark left

Clark did leave the young people alone, Bruce always sat with them to monitor them, sucking all the fun. They couldn't relax and have fun in comfortable way. When they complained him of this he would say innocently like every parent in the world,'What!I am not stopping you,you can do whatever you want.' Yeah, As if.

"I am gonna stretch my leg a bit before we are crammed in this compartment for hours",Dick said when Clark was out of sight."Anyone wanna join?" though he was hoping nobody would say yes.

To his dismay,Jason got up immediately. "I will join you and Timmy here too."

"I don't wanna..." he was abruptly pulled up to his feet by Jason. "Hey!"
