Harry gave that some thought. "We haven't been here long. She has no reason to believe at this moment that we remember. He's always been rather lazy so I doubt he'd have tried to get in touch with her yet. And I haven't heard him try to get into the compartment yet so he probably hasn't bothered yet. The earliest I give it is late tonight when he owls her that he's been sorted and he doesn't mention his new best friends. The latest... tomorrow. We still have time," he assures her with a smile.

"It's Dumbledore that I'm more concerned about since she can't truly do anything not being at Hogwarts. He, on the other hand, can and has no qualms about meddling in our lives."

He nods in agreement to her plan. "We will work on it then during the trip. We can't be sorted into Gryffindor," he said, automatically when asked about how to make others believe them and follow them. "We'll have to be sorted into other houses this time and grow our allies. There are a few Gryffindors that I feel we need to approach though - Neville is one of them."
