On the train Harry and Ginny found a compartment, the twins joined them temporarily before leaving to see Lee Jordan. Harry and Ginny were preparing for the trio of idiots and came up with plans to deal with each of them. First was Ron, who invited himself in and sat down.
"Hey Harry" He greeted enthusiastically, ignoring Ginny "Mum said I should invite you to our house, it's not much but you'd really enjoy it."
"I'm not particularly interested in coming but why not? It'll be fun hanging out with Ginny and the twins"
"About that" Ron replied "you shouldn't hang out with the twins, they're jokers but that's all they're good for. And you don't want hang out with Ginny, I mean she's just an annoying fan girl" Ginny smiled, knowing what Harry had planned.
"I have someone who might disagree with you" Harry's lips curved up slightly
"Who?" Ron asked
"This guy" Was all Harry said before a giant spider landed on Ron's head and he ran out of the compartment, leaving the two in stitches.
"How long before that turns back into a pencil?" Ginny managed to get out between laughs
"About an hour" Harry replied. Next came Malfoy, before he opened the door Harry did a quick voice altering spell
"Hello Potter" Malfoy sneered
"Hello Malfoy" Harry responded with an identical sneer using Malfoys voice
"What?" Draco blurted out "think your-"
"Funny Potter?" Harry completed the sentence still in Malfoys voice
"You'd better stop the Potter or"
"My father will hear about this" Harry interrupted, silently casting a spell behind his back. Draco prepared to respond with a witty retort.
"My father will hear about this" Draco responded, wait a sec that wasn't what he was going to say "My father will hear about this! My father will hear about this?" Draco couldn't say anything else, no matter how many times he tried, he screamed it one more time before running away. Fortunately for the pair, they were sitting, because if they were standing they would have fell down from laughing too hard.
"What's so funny?" A familiar voice asked, the two sat up to see Hermione standing in the doorway looking disapproving
"Nothing" The two said at the exact same time before laughing again.
"Listen Harry" Hermione spoke as she sat down opposite him and next to Ginny, making the later feel a little bit uncomfortable "this summer you're inviting me to your house" The laughter stopped because the two were now very confused
"Why would I invite you to my house? I haven't even invited Ginny yet"
"You're going to invite me because you need me" Hermione spoke confidently "I'm the only one in our year intelligent enough to challenge you"
"I'm sitting right here" Ginny commented
"And the only one willing to do so" Hermione continued "now you're going to invite me to your house so we can spend some time together. You and I can research stuff in your library, I can give you my opinion on your house and you can free those elves of yours. Come on now Harry, it's for the best, you don't want to become spoiled and pampered like all those purebloods do you? And besides I'm much better company than you usually keep, aren't I" Harry and Ginny could swear she was batting her eyelashes
"Ginny, do you know what I don't like about people who think they're better than me?" Harry looked at her and she slowly shook her head "well ignoring their attitudes, I hate that they think they can tell me what to do" Harry looked back at Hermione
"Now listen up because I don't want to spend the rest of the train ride explaining this to you. You may be intelligent, not as intelligent as Ginny but you are intelligent. However you're about as smart as a sack of potatoes, if I haven't invited my best friend then why do you think I'd invite you to 'research stuff' in my personal library. And why would your opinion on my house matter when I disagree with most of your opinions? I'm not getting rid of my house elves, they're my family and I didn't put a wand to their heads.
They've joined me willingly and how dare you accuse me of being pampered?! While your parents were buying you toys and books, my aunt and uncle were beating and starving me for being who I am. I'm taking charge of my life and nobody tells me what to do anymore, not unless I let them. And as for your company comment, I'd rather spend a day with Neville's toad then spend an hour talking to you" Those words combined with the sheer power Harry was emanating was enough to make Hermione run away. Ginny spent the next hour of the journey home calming Harry down and discussing his last conversation with Dumbledore.
Once the pair and the twins exited off the train they were greeted by the Weasley parents whilst Ron and Percy were still on the train looking for Ron's rat and Percy's prefect badge. They couldn't find them at all, the twins definitely didn't have anything to do with that. Harry had to do his best not to laugh when he saw Draco talking to his parents, still unable to say anything besides 'my father will hear about this'.
"Hello" Mr. Weasley shook his hand "my names Arthur and this is my wife Molly, I understand you've become friends with my son Ron?"
"No sir my friends are Ginny and the twins" Harry respondedmmHmm , he could see Ginny's mother was about to say something so he decided to go on "they've been a great help. They actually encouraged me to go to Gryffindor"
