The train arrives.

I turned to face Laurie. "Do you think we wasted our holiday?"
"No. Why do you ask?"
"I just feel empty, that's all."
"It's just the shock about your sister, that's all."
"Oh, ok. Well, whilst we're here in Hogsmeade, waiting for the train, why not do one last spot of sweet shopping for the midnight feast?"
"Might as well." Laurie said as she looked at her watch. "The train isn't due for another half hour, or so. Give or take ten minutes."

Laurie and I wondered around Hogsmeade for a while, just talking, until we came to Honeydukes. We went in, all excited to be buying sweets, when we saw at the counter, Luella.
"She got better fast! Look, there's my sister with her! Oh *bleep*."
"Come on Annie, let's go, we've got enough sweets for the midnight feast for that matter, and we can always get some food from the kitchens."

We trudged back through the slushy snow, in time to see the crimson train pull into the station.
"They're Back." Laurie and I said as we smiled at the thought of seeing our two best friends. Hundreds of students swarmed out of the trains. We stood up on the benches that were on the station to get a better view of the people leaving the carriages.
We didn't see Tash or Sam. We looked at eachother, worried. Suddenly, we felt a sharp pain in the backs of our legs. We turned round and saw the bright, smiling faces of Sam and Tash!
"Sam!" "Tash!" Laurie and I said at the same time.
"Tash!" "Sam!" We said at the same time.
"Have you guys been practising that? You're really good at it!" Sam said, smiling. We all hugged and walked back to the castle together. On our way back, we relayed everything that had happened in the holidays. Sam would gasp at the correct times, whereas Tash would cut in and try to make a comment about Luella's behaviour.

We climed up the stairs of the castle and as we did so, something hit me in the back of my head, hard.
I turned around to see Luella and the Clones' sneering faces looking at me. "Payback." I heard Luella say as I fell over. I saw a malicious grin spread across her face, and then I blacked out.
