章節 33: Train Ride
While Ron was taking a nap, Daphne was trying to remove his Silencio Charm from the scrawny boy and bushy haired girl.
"There that should do it."
"Ah you're right! I can hear myself now."
"What spell was that? Why couldn't we speak?"
"That was Silencio I believe. I'm sorry he's not usually like this, i heard he barely arrived so I bet he's just tired. After a nap I'm sure he'll explain, he's quite good at that. Ah, I'm Daphne Greengrass and he's Ronald Weasley."
The first to introduce themselves was the girl who was quite loud, followed by the shy boy.
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Harry Potter."
When Daphne heard his name she almost let out a shriek, but quickly stopped herself. The bushy haired girl didn't understand what was the big deal and asked the other girl.
-
"Ah, so he got rid of that Villain?"
"Yes, and since then he's been hailed as a Hero by Wizards and Witches alike."
The boy didn't seem to enjoy the stares the two girls were giving him so he was really glad when he heard a knock on their door.
"Anything off the cart, dears?"
A smiling, dimpled woman slid back their door and asked, before any of them could answer a voice behind them did.
"I'll take all of the Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pastries, and Cauldron Cakes, please."
The woman didn't even flinch at his demand and began to unload all of the candy and pastries.
"15 Sickles."
"Here you go, thank you."
While to Ron that amount was no more than pocket change, to the others in the compartment it came as a shock to see someone spend so much on sweets.
As the woman closed their door and continued on her way down the corridor, Ron could tell that he was being stared at.
"I didn't have breakfast and I just came back from another country, okay? If you want some feel free to get it."
What he'd said was true, after arriving from Russia he hadn't eaten anything, which was also why he was so tired.
"Won't all that candy damage your teeth? And how did you cast those two spells from before?"
While Hermione asked him a question, both Daphne and Harry grabbed some pastries and ate.
"There aren't any Magical Dentists in the Wizarding World, as for the spells I was taught by my aunt who's a very old and powerful witch."
She wanted to ask another question but when she saw him reach for his wand she chose not to. Next Harry asked him question, which he was expecting.
"So your entire family can use Magic? How was that like?"
"To answer your first question, Yes everyone in my family can use Magic. As for the latter I wouldn't know how to describe it. My family isn't really normal, so I wouldn't be best person to ask."
His answer made Harry lean back in his seat deep in thought. With Hermione and Harry eating in silence, Ron had the peace and quiet he'd seeked, for a brief moment.
"Ron, where did you go? I went to ask your mother but she only told me you went to your aunt's house."
"I went to Russia. And before you ask it was horrible and boring, not much else to add."
Looking at her face, he knew she didn't like his answer so she asked another question.
"I noticed that you finally got a Wand, can I get a better look at it?"
"Sure."
Ron tossed her his wand and opened another Chocolate Frog. Which were his favorite candy, it was also the first magical candy he ever had.
"It's quite dull isn't?"
"Oh, your right it looks like a plain wooden stick."
The one who chimed in was Hermione who also took out her wand to compare it to his.
"Mines, made from Vine Wood and has a Dragon Heartstring as it's Core. What about you guys?"
Daphne who didn't mind sharing, also brought her wand which she kept wrapped in silk cloth.
"Walnut, with Unicorn Hair."
Not wanting to be left out, Harry nervously took out his but was interrupted by someone opening their compartment door. Ron who had a very good guess as to it was, grabbed his wand back from Daphne.
"There you are, Weasley! Did you honestly think I'd fall for your lie about going to Ilvermorny!?"
"Hey, Draco. Everyone I'd like you to meet Draco Malfoy, my stalker."
While Daphne did find it funny and giggled, Hermione and Harry didn't understand what was going on. That of course didn't stop Hermione from standing up to the blond boy, and his two oafs of lackeys.
"Hey, you shouldn't enter someone else's compartment without knocking first!"
"Who do you thi-"
"Silencio."
Knowing Draco, Ron knew that he was going to go on a long monologue. So before he could get started, Ron decided to cut him off while also raising an eyebrow to the two dummies behind him.
"Take him to a third year, and please knock next time."
He then stood up and closed the door on their confused faces, all the while Draco stomped and kicked. Sitting back down he unwrapped another Chocolate Frog, before turning to Harry.
"You were saying?"
"Ah, my wand is from Holly I think and has a Phoenix Core..."
Although Hermione was having a tough time settling down after the incident with Draco, Daphne didn't place to much importance on the ordeal and complemented Harry's Wand.
"Phoenix Feather you mean, they're known for being very dependable wands strong too."
Hermione who'd been quietly eating a Pumpkin Pastrie, noticed that Ron hadn't revealed his wand.
"Ron, right? What about your wand?"
"Oh, it's Black Walnut with Dragon Heartstring."
Hermione and Harry turned to face Daphne who kne more about wands than them, but she also didn't know much more other than their names.
"It's useful in spell casting, most Wands have a specialty, Vine Wood is a growth type wand it's better suited for someone who wants to improve, as for Holly it's better suited for protective charms."
Hearing his explanation, Harry and Hermione took a long look at their respective wands, as for Daphne she tugged on his sleeve with a small pout.
"Walnut is very fickle but if in the right hands It makes for the most stable of wands."
"Thank you, Ron!"
Ron tried to continue unwrapping his Chocolate Frog, when Hermione had another question.
"How do you know so much? I've read several books and I haven't found anything related to wands in them."
"*She's way more annoying than in the movies...*"
"Daphne could you explain to her the difference between Muggle Borns, Half Bloods and Purebloods?"
"Okay..."
