Later on, as the Hogwarts Express is traveling through the countryside. Harry, Aubery, and Eliza are sitting alone in a train compartment, and Ron appears in the doorway.

"Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full." Ron asks.

"No, not at all." Aubery shook her head.

Ron moves to sit across from Harry. "I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley."

"I'm Harry. Harry Potter." Harry greets.

Ron's mouth goes agape.

"So-so it's true? I mean, do you really have the...the..." Ron motions to his forehead.

"The what?" Harry asks.

Ron's voice drops to a whisper "Scar...?"

"Oh!" Harry lifts up his hair bangs to reveal it.

"Wicked." Ron gasps.

"I know right!" Eliza smiles. "Eliza Peters, but you can call me Lizzie."

"Hello, Lizzie." Ron smiles.

"Aubery Lupin. It's a pleasure to meet you." Aubery set out a hand to shake. Ron took it.

"I can't believe I'm in a compartment with 2 famous people!" Ron sighs.

"Don't worry, I didn't either," Eliza assures. A trolley comes by the compartment, full to the brim with sweets, making the 11-year-olds mouthes water.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" The trolley woman asks kindly.

Ron holds up his mushed sandwiches. "No, thanks, I'm all set." He smacks his lips, although a bit unhappily. 

"We'll take the lot!" Aubery and Harry jump up at once, pulling out coins.

"Whoa!" Ron gasps, as they took one or two of almost every sweet there was. Aubery and Eliza are sitting on the ground, and Harry and Ron were in their same seats as before. Ron's rat, Scabbers, is perched on Ron's knee, a box over his head.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans?" Harry asks, peering at them.

"They mean every flavor! There's chocolate and peppermint, and there's also spinach, liver, and tripe. George swore he got a bogey-flavored one once!" Ron explains.

"No way! How did it taste?" Aubery asks.

"I've never asked," Ron admits. Harry quickly takes the bean he was chewing out of his mouth.

Harry picks up a blue and gold package. "These aren't real chocolate frogs, are they?"

"It's just a spell. Besides, it's the cards you want. Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard. I got about 500 myself." Ron says.
