The night before the train leaves

*Ron speaking to himself in his mind*

Just once I like to be Ron and not a Weasley. All I get is second hand things my brothers rat that I did not even want their robes there books I know we can't get much because of money but it's not right that I don't get anything new. My sister gets new things because she is a girl at least she don't always ask me what is wrong all the time like mom and dad.

So what if I just want to be left alone and be withdrawn from my family I know they asked my head of house to keep an eye on me and I told to go to Gryffindor just because my family there well maybe I go to a different house so I can be me. They would disown me if they knew I could talk to snakes don't know how I can but I can. I can't take this anymore and the one thing I do like is to get burn just take the candle and hold it up to my skin and let the heat and flame burn me just a little so no one will see I always do it on my upper arms.

Tomorrow the train will leave and I be going to Hogwarts can't wait. Better take out a book and start reading so I can get some sleep and wont if I don't read.

*Hemione talking to herself in her mind*

I knew I was always had magic I mean I can talk to snakes and all. I also knew my parents fought a lot because of the magic even though I don't know why it's not like they have any. It's me that is different not them I can't make friends at school or anything.

I do like to read and I am smart but I don't care about being smart. Oh and dad left as soon as I came back from Diagon alley saying he was not going to put up with anymore of the magic crap and that I should never been born. So now I am up in my room with the window smoking and getting high on it just so I can forget some of the time.

Then tomorrow I get to leave and go to Hogwarts at this school I hope make friends somehow. Well now that I done getting high I going to crack open my Hogwarts of history book and start to read that again and then fall asleep.

*Harry talking to himself in his mind*

Well my uncle raped me again as well as beat me saying that since he won't be able to till next summer that he had to make it count so it was twice as hard. Then he threw me into the cupboard under the stairs.

At least there is a light and my trunk and my snake friend. I love being able to talk to snakes they make great friends since I can never make them. Oh and then when I went to get my school things the man was putting down Slytherin and I don't see anything wrong with that house. Then went on saying how my parents were and all well there not here now are they.

Tonight I did cut myself again and hid my knife again in the bottom of my trunk. I really want to make friends as well. Well I going to be taking out my potion book again and reading that again for a little and then get a an hour or 2 of sleep because then I have to get up and make breakfast for the family and not eat any. Then off to the train station and away for a long time.

The train station

As the three families walked to the platform, the students from the three first years waited till everyone else is through. They watched each other and went in one at a time. Once they got through, Hemione asked if they could all sit together since they had all just met so that they would not need to meet other students just yet.

Harry said "ok but I going to read for most of the ride."

Ron said "that sounds good to me as I will do the same." He turned to Hermione "is that ok with you?"

Hermione said "oh yes I was hoping to read as well. Oh by the way my name is Hermione Granger, and your names are?"

Harry shook her hand saying "my name is Harry Potter."

Ron approached, offered his hand and said "my name is Ronald Weasley. Now let's go find an empty compartment to sit in and read."

They went to the back of the train and sat down and pull out their books. Harry had a Charms book, Ron had a Transfiguration book and Hermione had an Astronomy book. They all read for about 2 and a half hours before Harry looked up and said "I going to go put my robes on I be back" Hermione went with him to also change so Ron changed in the compartment. then they all came back and started to talk about What house they might be in. Harry guessed that he fit more into Slytherin if not there, then Ravenclaw. The others said the same. They all went back to reading. They all read till the train stopped.

Harry put his book away and pulled out a shrunken copy of the potions book. Ron pulled out his Defence Against the dark arts book and shrunk it and Hermione did the same with her Hogwarts of history book. Once that was done they left the train and when with the other first years to the boats so they could get to Hogwarts.
