Chapter two: Bus, Train, and Silence

"Finally!" Harry said as he walked away from that hell hole of a place that is Private Drive. With his trunk in tow he walked towards the curb to flag down the knight bus. His last couple of days at Private Dr. had turned out not so much fun. Vernon locked him back up in his room after the roof incident. Didn't want the neighbors seeing any more of his antics. The days dragged on as he was confined to his room with nothing to do but to read his new school books. The morning of his last day at Private Drive arrived.  His aunt woke him early by shaking his shoulder roughly with her skinny bony hands. She looked down her nose at him when she realized he was awake and told him to quickly gather his things and leave.

Harry jumped up out of bed and quickly searched for his glasses put them on he blinked his eyes sleepily as he took a second to wake up more fully. Changing his clothes he put on a pair of jeans and a red shirt on. Reaching down he slid on his trainers and then started shoving everything into his trunk. He was almost out the door when he remembered his secret spot under his bed with his special treasures in it. Dropping to his knees he reached under his bed and lifted the floor board. A pair of two different color wooly socks, a sharp piece of mirror, and his picture of his parents lay there. Scooping them up he dumped them into his trunk and walked out of the not turning around to look again. Climbing down the stairs his aunt and uncle waited neither said a word to him just watched him walk out the door. As soon as he stepped out onto the front step the door was slammed behind him.   "Love you too auntie." Harry said mockingly towards the front door. He reached a hand up and rubbed his shoulder lightly. Her finger tips had dug roughly into his shoulder and he was sure he would have some marks later from the rough treatment. Too bad she wasn't the only one that hadn't showed any concern for him this summer.

He couldn't believe no one owled him. Not even to tell him how he was going to get to the train this year. He figured since they wanted to lock him up all summer for his safety they would want to sent people to escort him to the train safely. None of it made any sense to him looking around Harry realized he hadn't ever been out here so early in the morning. It was all very creepy in the early morning light. The fog was still clinging to the road and near certain houses. He couldn't even see the park that was just down the street it was so covered in a blanket of fog. Deciding he didn't want to hang around here any more. Harry looked around one more time to make sure no one would see him take out his wand.

He took it out of his pocket and held it straight in front of him. A second later a big gust of wind came down the street and with it brought the knight bus. A huge purple triple level bus. The doors opened with a slight hiss. A young man stepped down from the bus. He had on a purple coat with black pants. His brown hair stuck out from underneath his purple hat which had a red strip around the brim.

"Welcome to the knight bus my name is Stanley please leave your luggage here and step on to the bus." Stanley said while walking around to open the luggage compartment. Harry smiling set down his luggage and got on the bus. Noticing that there was not a lot of other people on the bus. As Harry went to go sit down he heard a loud bang and a thump as if some thing hit the side of the bus. He jumped and quickly moved to the window to see what was going on. Stanley was standing stand outside of the luggage loading compartment rubbing his head. He winced and rub the back of his head almost felling the pain that Stanley was in.  Sitting down on the first seat on the right he waited patiently for the bus to go. Stanley climbed in after a few seconds his pimply face still sweaty and flushed. Knocking on the door that leads to the driver he signaled that they are ready to go.

Stanley turns around and looks at Harry. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" Before Harry could say anything. Stanley's eyes lit up. " I know your Neville! Hows it been? I haven't seen you in four years. Glad to see you made it thru the war." He said. Harry grinned sheepishly and told him it was nice to see him again. The rest of the ride Stanley and Harry made small talk. Thru Stanley Harry was bale to learn a little more about what was going on in the wizarding world. Kingsley was made minister shortly after he returned to the Dursley's house and immediately started a whole reformation of the ministry. From the top defense departments down to Mr. Weasley's department everything was changed so that should another Dark Lord arise it would be harder for them to gain control of the ministry. Also many laws were passed about dark artifacts and using dark magic. The ministry is hoping by increase the fines and prison time it will discourage people from dabbling in the dark arts.

Finally they made it to Kings Cross. Harry was very early since he left Private Drive so early in the morning. He found a bench near by and decided to people watch. An hour went by and the train station slowly started to come to life. Families running to catch the trains. Men and women in suites traveling to work. It was very interesting to watch all those muggles walking around not knowing that there was a whole secret world behind a brick wall.

"Hello Harry." Said a tall handsome stranger standing infront of Harry. Wait HANDSOME Harry thought as he glanced up at the man. As he glanced up his words caught in his throat he realized that he knew this tall dark haired man. "Neville its good to see you how have you been?" Harry said as he stood to hug his long time friend. Neville hugged Harry back practically picking him up off the ground he had grown so tall. He was easily 6'4 which had him towering over Harry. He had also developed some muscles during the summer to go along with that tan of his. "Oh merlin did I just feel up Neville?!" Harry thought to himself as his hands rested on his arms. Which cause him completely missing what Neville had just asked him.

Harry giving a quick smile said" My summer was ok. Stuck at my aunts and uncles again. How was yours?" Apparently he had said the right thing because Neville began to tell Harry all about his summer how his Gram took him to France where he went boating and swimming. Then they traveled to Germany and hiked and camped all over the country. Finally ended their travels in China. He stayed at a monk temple and they taught him all sorts of things. Harry could tell by how Neville was holding him self and the way he was talking that all that traveling did wonders for his self esteem.

Blushing Neville said" I'm sorry Harry I shouldn't be telling you about all the stuff I did when you where stuck at your aunts." Harry just shook his head,"Don't worry about I'm glad you had a good summer." They sat down and continued talking about Neville's summer for another hour before they headed to the brick wall that would allow them to reach the Hogwarts Express. Walking thru the wall they stepped out into a whole different world. Child running around waving wands. Owls, cats,and rats in cages sitting on trunks ready to be loaded on the train.

Hearing the whistle for the train they quickly boarded and grabbed the first compartment. Sitting down Neville asked," How come Ron and Hermione aren't with you? Don't you usually spend part of your summer with them?" Harry quickly felt his good mood being squashed. "Actually Ron and Hermione haven't talked to me all summer so I'm not sure what is going on. Actually no one has talked to me all summer. They even sent my supplies for school by owl. They had said at the being of the summer that it wasn't safe for me to go anywhere but my aunts because of the death eaters that are still on the run." Harry said while looking out the window hoping that Neville wouldn't see how upset he was about the whole thing.

"But Harry they caught all the death eaters two weeks into summer break. They attacked the ministry but failed since the order was there waiting for them. They are all in Azkaban now." Neville said very confused why Harry was not told all of this. Harry couldn't believe no one told him that they left him alone all summer when there was no need too. He could feel his magic gathering inside him about to explode outward. Neville seeing how upset Harry was grabbed him and pulled him into a crushing hug.

It was like a huge wave came crashing down on him the instant Neville's arms wrapped around him. All he could do was let those his frustration, the abandonment he felt and the loneliness. It all came pouring out in loud sobs and huge tears. Harry didn't even hear Neville talking to him in a calm whisper telling him everything was going to be ok. All he could feel were those strong arms holding him and giving comfort. Harry finally pulled away when he felt he was calm again he looked up at Neville, "I'm sorry its been a rough summer. They practically just dumped me there at my aunts right after the battle. I don't even know who is dead and who is alive. Then they didn't even send me letters telling me what is going on or even if I was ok. No birthday presents or happy birthday letters. Nothing. They didn't even send some one to come take me to the train station."

Neville didn't even know what to say he just put his hand on his shoulder near his neck and gave a comforting squeeze. They just stood there not sure what to say to each other. Harry fearing he scared his only friend he had now quickly said," Merlin you must think I'm such a girl." Neville seeing that Harry was clearly thinking he freaked him out simply said, "Harry don't worry about it. I would be feeling upset too I'm surprised you haven't hexed someone yet." Harry gave a small smile at that. Not wanting to talk about it anymore both boys sat down and started putting on their robes. Harry found himself sneaking glances at the other boy.

Done putting on their robes Neville not wanting it to be awkward started asking Harry about the classes he would be taking this year. Easily falling into a comfortable conversation they talked for the whole train ride about everything from classes to quidditch. While talking about some of the crazier adventures they had in their first year when the door to their compartment opened. Harry turning to see who instantly felt his face turning red. Ron and Hermione were standing by the door looking flushed and surprised.

Quickly changing her expression but not quick enough Hermione yelled, "Oh Harry here you are we have been looking everywhere for you." Harry just looked at them with no expression. Ron scratched the side of his neck forcing a small smile and chimed in ,"Ya mate we missed you." Harry thought he didn't look all that pleased to see him. Forcing a smile of his own he said ,"Well I have been here talking with Neville about his summer and up coming classes." Hermione replied," Well I'm glad your weren't sitting alone. Ron and I have been made headboy and headgirl. We just finished up our meeting with the perfects." Harry felt a flush of anger go threw his body. Did they think they were his only friends? Why didn't they come find him on the platform to tell him about them making becoming headboy and headgirl. And how did Ron make headboy? He barely passed sixth year. Neville seeing Harry was getting worked up decided to ask how had they been this summer.

Hermione and Ron walked further into the compartment. Hermione sat herself in between Harry and Neville while Ron sat across from looking a little peeved Hermione wasn't sitting next to him. Harry not wanting to cause a scene didn't let Hermione see that he wanted to sit next to Neville. The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was spent listening to Hermione go on and on about her summer and how she was nervous about the upcoming newts.

Harry wished someone would stun him so he didn't have to hear anymore from Hermione. She had been able to spend the summer at the Burrow. They had even been able to go to Diagon Alley. Leaning back he could feel himself getting angry again. So he breathed deeply and then turned his head and looked out the window. In the reflection he saw Neville looking at him and gave him a small smile. Well at least I have one real friend Harry thought to himself. Neville returned his smile and gave him a wink. Which cause Harry to blush and break eye contact. Smiling inside he thought maybe this year wont be so bad.
