I do not own harry potter or his world. I am only playing in the sand that J.K. Rowling has left behind.

CHAPTER ONE:

Platform 9 and 3/4

Harry was exited for once. Excited about many things at the particular moment he got out of the dursleys car. That thought alone brought a shiver of anticipation of the year to come.

You see, Harry was going to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. 'It's amazing' Harry thought as he drug his trunk across the train station. 'I'm an actual wizard...well, will be anyway' he chided himself.

As he walked he looked around taking in the bustling train station.

'I wonder what we'll be learning at Hogwarts' Harry thought. 'I hope I make some friends and that I'm good at magic.' He continued in his head 'after all it would be embarrassing for the Savior of the magical world to be a squib wouldn't it?' He concluded.

His train of thought (get it?) ended when he walked up to the platforms and looked up at the numbers. 'W-what?' He thought, his face an expression of shock 'there's no platform 9 and 3/4. It's only a brick wall'

And indeed there was. To his left was platform nine with a train in it and people getting off and on in a hurry. And to the right was platform ten, almost completely empty.

With his head downcast Harry started walking back towards the car and the dursleys smug faces only to hear voices above the rest.

"what platform is it?"

"Oh cmon mum-"

"you know-"

"What platform were-"

"Supposed to be on-"

"You've done this so many times"

A set of red headed twins ping-ponged their words back and forth so quick it made Harry's head hurt.

He then heard a beautiful voice from the back of the group speak up. "9 and 3/4 mum" the twins started laughing. At that revelation he started to turn around.

"Mums only doing it for ickle gin-gins benefit George"

"Right you are oh brother of mine"

"Oh hush up you two." A plump redheaded woman said scolding two tall redheaded boys who were grinning before adding "thank you Ginny" to a small girl. Harry wasn't paying much attention to where he was and as such tripped on his own feet and ended up sprawled across the ground. Picking himself up while grumbling and patting off dust he was startled by the same melodic voice coming from behind him. "Are you okay?" He spun around to find the redheaded girl from before standing before him. She had on a red knee-length skirt that matched her hair and a light gray blouse that said weird sisters.

She offered her hand to help him up but, when she did he cringed away slightly, as if she was going to hit him but she seemed not to notice. The girl 'Ginny' he remembered giggled and he grabbed the offered hand loosely and she helped him up.

"T-thanks" harry said quietly. "It's no problem" she replied with a grin "I see you've got a trunk. are you going to Hogwarts?"

"I-It's real?" Harry asked with wide eyes. "Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?" She asked with her head cocked to the side slightly like a puppy.

"W-well the letter said platform 9 and 3/4 but it's not there" he said, staring up at the wall sadness starting to well up inside him. He then sighed. "sorry for wasting your time" he turned around and started walking away but she stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder.

This time he visibly flinched away and saw her eyes widen 'oh shoot now she knows and isnt going want to talk to me any more' harry thought with growing horror. "Your not wasting my time. Do you want help getting in?" Harry nodded reluctantly, recomposed himself and followed Ginny to the red haired witch.

"Hey mum!" She squealed "can we please help..." she then blushed as red as her hair. "I-I'm sorry I forgot to ask your name mines Ginny weasly" she said holding her hand out. Harry nervously replied "I-I'm Harry p-potter nice to meet y-you" at the utterance of his name her eyes widened further and if possible she blushed an even darker red then ran behind her mother. As this occurred Molly noticed Harry's eyes getting wider with horror and sadness and his next words made her blood freeze. "I-I'm s-sorry I'll g-go away I p-promise just p-please don't hurt m-me" harry said backing away quickly he then ran away leaving his trunk and owl behind.

The weasley family looked on in shock as Harry ran away with people looking at him. Molly shook herself free of the shock and looked at the three oldest children and said "Percy, Fred, George this is a very serious matter" as she was saying this she put a shrinking charm on all of the trunks they had. Putting Harry's in her pocket she turned back to the kids she finished her orders "look for him but be very careful and cautious, he's scared. I'm going to contact professor Dumbledore and tell him that you'll all be late to school as well as one Harry Potter. Ron, Ginny you'll be coming with me- "

At this she was cut off "No I'm not!" Ginny protested angrily " I'm the reason he ran off so I'm going to apologize" she said in a huff. Molly turned to Ginny and was about to scold her when Ron (of all the people eh? Good! ron) spoke up "m-mom let Ginny go. it'll be faster cuz then you could just apparate us. Plus Ginny's got a sharp eye" "and a crush" George whispered. Ron shot him a glare before continuing "and is quick, it'll be a better route. as long as one twin goes with Ginny there will be three 'scouts' on the lookout" he concluded with a grin. His ears proceeded to turn red as he realized that he was the center of attention to all the slack-jawed gazes "w-what?"

Ginny ran up, bear hugged him and said "your brilliant Ron thanks" the four then ran off to find Harry.

As they were running Percy and Fred (or George?)

Split off and went towards the ticket booths and bathrooms while George (or Fred?) Followed Ginny.

'Who knew that she was so fast' George thought as he was running and scanning the crowd. He then snickered 'of course she's being fast right now. Her crush just ran away in a panic'

Meanwhile Ginny was zipping around people, worried. Thoughts running through her head like a bludger on drugs. 'What happened to him' she wondered. 'When I stopped him he moved away like I was going to hit him...' her eyes grew dark in anger and sadness.

Suddenly she and George heard a shout of "BOY" she turned and looked to see a family of three standing by a BMW "Get over here so we can leave" a man the size and stature of a walrus barked at him "I'm hungry so start making lunch when we get home" he continued to say in a loud voice.

Ginny stopped and took a moment to examine the family of three and wondered who they were talking to. The man looked like an overgrown walrus with a bristly mustache and standing next to him to was a woman who looked like a horse and dressed like an antique couch. To her right was a boy who looked like he had had too many meals. He was brutish looking and was a miniature version of the man. She saw Harry walk slowly out of the crowd towards the car dragging his feet.

She took a little time to get a good look at him as well. He was wearing clothes that were about four sizes too big and looked like they belonged to the whale of a boy. His glasses were broken in the middle and then taped back together what looked like several times.

With growing horror she realised that one of two things was happening.

A.) Harry was abused

B.) Harry was a neighbor kid who they gave a ride

But the hope of it being the second one was dashed when the man grabbed Harry roughly by the upper arm and practically threw him into the car. Her face slowly started turning red in anger and she marched right up to the man.

"HEY" She yelled "leave him alone you big bully" he looked down and snarled at her "be quite girl you've no idea what he's like"

It was at this moment George came running up out of breath "Ginny" he wheezed "slow down a minu-" he froze when he saw Harry in the car. His over sized shirt had slid down his shoulder to reveal bruises colored black blue and greenish yellow. George turned stiffly to Vernon and said dead seriously "we will be taking Harry with us to the school"

Vernon looked him up and down and barked out a laugh "fine take the freak. we never wanted him anyway" he turned to Harry and yelled "OUT BOY".

Harry jumped and scrambled to get out of the car. When he was out the other three got in and left rather quickly laughing the entire time.

CHAPTER BREAK= =

Harry scrambled out of the car 'n-no way' he thought 'I'm actually leaving the dursleys it's a miracle!'

Suddenly a red blur wrapped itself around him agitating his bruises and making him cry out in pain.

Ginny quickly detached herself from him with tears in her eyes "I'm so sorry" she said standing back with her hands over her mouth and eyes wide. At this Harry looked at her with confusion "why are you sorry?" He asked "you didn't do anything wrong" George looked at Harry with eyes full of sadness and hidden anger at the treatment of the small child "c'mon Harry" he said "let's go find Percy and Fred then get you to mum"

Harry's eyes quickly filled with hope but just as quick darkened again "thank y-you for s-saving me from the d-dursleys but you don't have to pretend to l-like me I know I'm just a freak who isn't wanted" he said all of this as if it were fact and then turned on his heel and started walking down the road with his hands in his pockets.
