As the Hogwarts Express chugged along, Harry, Hermione, and Ron sat in their compartment, chatting excitedly about the upcoming school year.

"Yeah, and I hope we don't have another run-in with Malfoy this year," Ron added, munching on a Chocolate Frog.

Before Harry could respond, a soft knock echoed through the compartment.
