The group says their goodbyes on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Platform 9 and Three Quarters|the platform]], and Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred, George]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] board the train. Fred and George depart to talk business with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lee Jordan|Lee Jordan]]. When Harry suggests finding a compartment, Hermione and Ron exchange awkward looks and explain that they have to join the other [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|prefects]] for instructions. They leave, promising to return soon. Harry and Ginny, trying to find an empty compartment, struggle the length of the train; Harry notices that everyone is looking at him, and then remembers that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/The Daily Prophet|the ''Daily Prophet'']] has been saying all summer that he is a lying madman. As they near the rear car, they meet [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]]. Ginny leads them into a compartment with a strange looking girl inside who emanates "an aura of distinct dottiness." She is reading a magazine called [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/The Quibbler|''The Quibbler'']] upside down. Ginny introduces her as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Luna Lovegood|Luna Lovegood]], a Ravenclaw student in her year. After attempting to converse with her, the discussion turns to Neville’s birthday present, a rare [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Mimbulus Mimbletonia|''Mimbulus Mimbletonia'']] plant. He pokes it with his wand, trying to show them its defense mechanism, and the entire compartment is sprayed with horrid-smelling green pus just as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]] walks in to greet Harry.
An awkward moment passes. Cho leaves and Ginny [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Evanesco|cleans]] the stinksap off them. Ron and Hermione return to announce that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Pansy Parkinson|Pansy Parkinson]] are the Slytherin Prefects; [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ernie Macmillan|Ernie Macmillan]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hannah Abbott|Hannah Abbott]] are Hufflepuff Prefects; and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Anthony Goldstein|Anthony Goldstein]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Padma Patil|Padma Patil]] are the Ravenclaw Prefects. Ron tells a bad joke, at which Luna laughs inappropriately loudly. Harry notices Sirius Black's name on Luna's magazine cover. He asks to borrow it and reads an article claiming Sirius’ alter-ego is a singer before realizing the story is bogus. Hermione disdainfully states that the ''Quibbler'' is "rubbish," to which Luna replies, "My father’s the editor."
Draco Malfoy, with his sidekicks [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vincent Crabbe|Crabbe]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregory Goyle|Goyle]], drop in on them. Draco asks how Harry feels to be second to Ron; Hermione tells him to get out. Draco makes a comment hinting that he recognized Sirius. After he departs, Harry and Hermione exchange troubled looks, but with the others there cannot say anything, while Ron is oblivious to this exchange.
At last, they reach Hogwarts. However, instead of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]’s familiar voice calling the first-years, they hear [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank|Professor Grubbly-Plank]]. They hardly have time to ponder this before Ginny and Harry have to carry their belongings to the carriages. Harry is stunned that the carriages are no longer horseless; rather, they are drawn by black, skeletal horse-like creatures with leathery skin and wings. Ron sees nothing, leaving Harry wondering if he has gone mad. Luna approaches, saying she also sees them, leaving Harry confused: is confirmation from someone believing in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Crumple Horned Snorkack|Crumple Horned Snorkacks]] truly reassuring?

== Analysis ==
There are several interesting developments in this chapter. Sirius unexpectedly seeing Harry off at the Hogwarts Express was not only reckless and risked him being captured, but it endangers Harry, and his friends,
It is not immediately apparent how Draco and Lucius would have recognized Sirius. However, we must recall that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail)]] has returned to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], and had been a close friend of Sirius' some fifteen years before. Wormtail will have been able to describe Sirius' Animagus shape to Voldemort, and Voldemort, knowing that Sirius would likely be in the Order of the Phoenix, would have passed that information to his returned Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy.
On the train, Harry, who is usually accompanied by Ron and Hermione, must fend for himself for a while as they tend to their prefect duties. Still smarting over Ron's new status, Harry is embarrassed to find himself seated with some less popular students who others consider "misfits". Luna Lovegood, in particular, is an oddity Harry would rather avoid, although Ginny seems on friendly terms with her. However, Harry does have his first inkling that Cho Chang, who he has had a crush on for some time, seems to show an interest in him, although she catches him at a rather awkward and embarrassing moment. However, Harry, like Cho, is still deeply affected by Cedric Diggory's death, and pursuing a relationship may be an unwise course for either at this time. ▼

It is noted that Harry recognizes this issue of the Quibbler as the same one that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Kingsley Shacklebolt|Kingsley Shacklebolt]] had earlier surreptitiously slipped to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr. Weasley]], saying it would amuse Sirius. We now know exactly why Sirius would be amused.
That Hagrid is gone is not entirely unexpected; Harry knows he is on a secret mission for Dumbledore. However, his absence is still unsettling for Harry, who considers Hagrid like family and feels that he represents comfort and security; Harry is also worried for his friend's safety.

# What are the black horse-like creatures pulling the "horseless" carriages? Why can Harry and Luna see them, but not the others? Could they be Dark creatures?

The horse-like creatures pulling the carriages are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Thestral|Thestrals]], and they can only be seen by someone who has witnessed death. Until now, Harry, like many other students, believed the carriages magically pulled themselves. They are visible to him now because he witnessed Cedric Diggory being killed by Wormtail ([[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]]). Luna Lovegood, a most unusual girl anyway, sees them because she was present when her mother accidentally killed herself while experimenting with a spell that went wrong. It will be learned later that Neville Longbottom is also able to see them, although the reason is unknown. Why Neville does not comment on them here is uncertain. We learn later that he had seen a relative die, and so should have been able to see them all along. His first encounter with them, therefore, would have been in Harry's second year; as Harry and Ron arrived in the flying car that year, they would not have been present when Neville encountered the Thestrals for the first time, and by now he may consider then commonplace. Curiously, most students seem unaware that Thestrals even exist, indicating that the people who can see them rarely mention them to others. Despite being gentle creatures, they are painful reminders of death that those they are visible to probably prefer to avoid. More is learned about these unusual creatures in Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, and they will have a role to play later in the book and in the series.
It could be argued that although Harry is unable to see the Thestrals until after Cedric Diggory was killed, he, technically, had witnessed other deaths prior to Cedric's tragic murder. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 1|Chapter 1 of ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']], Harry "sees" the Muggle, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Frank Bryce|Frank Bryce]], being killed by Voldemort. However, Harry was not physically present when Frank was slain, which would likely explain why the Thestrals remained invisible to him. Harry instead watched the death through a mental connection he has to Voldemort. Though what he was viewing was apparently real and from his own perspective, he was unaware it was actually happening at the time.
It is also true, as we find out later, that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Professor Quirrell|Professor Quirrell]] had died when Voldemort left him in the first book; Harry was there, but he was unconscious at the time and did not see Quirrell die. Finally, Harry was present when Voldemort killed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|his mother]], and when Voldemort's killing curse rebounded on him. The author has said that We are never positive that the Malfoys recognized Sirius in his dog form, but on the train, Draco hints to Harry that they did, and a story in the Daily Prophet placing Sirius in London will appear shortly.
Although Harry is embarrassed to be seated with unpopular students like Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, these two "misfits" will prove to be among Harry's strongest and most capable allies. Neville will also be closely associated to a prophecy regarding Voldemort and Harry.
Sturgis Podmore's absence, we will find shortly, is due to his having been arrested the night before while attempting to enter a locked door at the Ministry. We will later find evidence that will suggest that the door in question leads to the Department of Mysteries, in which lies an artifact that Voldemort greatly desires. We will learn that Lucius Malfoy, at Voldemort's orders, had been trying to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Imperio|compel]] other wizards to enter the Department of Mysteries and recover that item; while we hear directly of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Broderick Bode|Broderick Bode]] being forced to do so, we can only guess that the same has happened to Podmore.
Luna's father being publisher of the ''Quibbler'' will also prove important, as it will provide a channel for information about Harry to be disseminated without being filtered through the established media, namely ''The Daily Prophet''. We have been told that the ''Prophet'' is echoing the Ministry position, and we will see the effect that has on Harry through the course of this book. It will become vital for Harry to have some other way of telling his story shortly. The contrarian nature of the ''Quibbler'' will also be important in the final book of the series.
