The last few weeks with the weasleys at the leaky cauldron were the best, between pulling pranks at Percy with the twins and going almost every day with Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry to diagon Alley to eat ice cream or just to see what's new in the shops, Val had a very good time. Everything was great, except for the few times Reina and Crookshanks tried to eat Ron's rat.
Before they knew, it was already September the first, that meant it was time to get back to hogwarts. It was already 10:45 when all the Weasleys, Hermione , Harry and Val got to King kross.
"Every year" Molly was yelling to all of them "Every year is the same"
They arrived at platform 9 ¾ quarters and by pairs they went through it. One by one they said their goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs Weasley and made their way to the train.
Harry,Val, Ron, and Hermione set off down the corridor, looking for an empty compartment, but all were full except for the one at the very end of the train. This had only one occupant, a man sitting fast asleep next to the window.The tree of them checked on the threshold. The Hogwarts Express was usually reserved for students and they had never seen an adult there before, except for the witch who pushed the food cart. The stranger was wearing an extremely shabby set of wizard's robes that had been darned in several places. He looked ill and exhausted. Though quite young, his light brown hair was flecked with gray.
"Who d'you reckon he is?" Ron hissed as they sat down and slid the door shut, taking the seats farthest away from the window.
"Professor R. J. Lupin," whispered Hermione at once.
"How d'you know that?"
"It's on his case," she replied, pointing at the luggage rack over the man's head, where there was a small, battered case held together with a large quantity of neatly knotted string. The name Professor R. J. Lupin was stamped across one corner in peeling letters.
"Do you think is going to be the new defense against the dark arts teacher?" Harry asked this time
"I guess so" Val said "I mean, is the only spot available"
"Do you think he is really asleep?" Harry asked
"Looks like it," Val said, looking at him.
"Good, cause I gotta tell you something" Harry said looking at the door of the compartment.
Then Harry proceeded to tell his sister and his friends about the conversation wtih Mr. Weasley
" So, let me get this straight" Ron started talking "Sirius Black escaped from azkaban after you and Val"
"Looks like it" Harry answered
"I don't understand one thing" the tree of them turned their heads to look at Val. "Why Mr. Weasley talk to you but said nothing to me"
