CHAPTER SEVEN

[Later on, the Hogwarts Express is travelling through the countryside. Harry is in sitting alone in a train compartment, and Ron appears in the doorway.]

RON: Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full.

HARRY: Not at all.

RON: [sits across from Harry] I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley.

HARRY: I'm Harry. Harry Potter.

[Ron goes agape.]

RON: So-so it's true! I mean, do you really have the... the...?

HARRY: The what?

RON: [whispers] The scar?

"Ron! You can't ask people to show them your scars!"

"Sorry mum..."

HARRY: Oh. [Harry lifts up his hair bangs to reveal the scar on his forehead]

RON: Wicked!

[The compartment door opens slowly and a girl peaks her head through. She sends the boys a polite smile.]

"Back when you were cute, what happened to y-" The Weasley twins didnt get to finish as a plate went flying to both boys.

HALLEY: Is it alright if I sit in this compartment? All the others are rather rude about new students.

People around the hall agreed, looking up to their upper classman, "They are."

[The boys nod and introduce eachother.]

RON: The names Ron Weasley, and this is Harry. The Harry Potter by the way.

HALLEY: Well Ron and 'The Harry Potter', my name is Halley Black, nice to meet you.

"Funny, loved the joke by the way. Especially the part when I laughed." Harry teased her, with a smirk.

"You have the smarts of a gerbil, I'd understand if you didn't get the joke." Halley retaliated, sending the boys father into a fit of laughter.

Lily smacked him behind the head, "He got it from you!"

[The little ginger boy froze at her last name and Harry sent him a confused glance as he didn't know much about the wizarding world.]

RON: B-black? As in, Sirius Black?

"Good merlin, what did you do now Sirius."

HALLEY: My uncle? Gosh why does everyone think that he's my father.

"Maybe because Regulus is zesty?"

"Says the gay man."

"Hey, I admitted it!"

RON: Oh, but... nevermind

[The atmosphere in the compartment became awkward thanks to Ron who was partially scared shitless. No one has every said anything particularly good about the Black's and he's heard things..]

"Who hasn't?"

"Shut the fuck up."

[A trolley comes by the compartment, full of sweets.]

WOMAN: Anything off the trolley, dears?

RON: [Holds up his mushed sandwiches] No, thanks. I'm all set. [smacks lips.]

[Halley shakes her head politely, before giving the trolley witch a small smile.]

HARRY: We'll take the lot! [pulls out coins]
