(Author's notes: Ok, so this won't be exactly like the books or the shows, this is just a "what if" thing, it's Harry's Hermione's and Ron's third year at Hogwarts, with the Wizards of Waverly Place. So enjoy!)

Chapter 1. The Train Ride to Hogwarts

Alex trudged down the stairs with her hair in a mess, and pajamas still on. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and everyone was already up.

"Ugh." Alex moaned as she reached the finally step on the staircase.

"What's wrong? You seem grumpier than normal!" Max chuckled.

Alex just glared at him, and slumped away, leaving Harper to answer his question, "She's just upset because school starts in a couple days." Harper explained.

"Oh." Max responded. "Aw man…"

Now Max was feeling equally as bummed as Alex. Justin never really minded going to school.

"Hey everyone!" Mr. Russo shouted. "I have some great news!"

"Monkeys have taken over the earth?!" Max screeched in excitement.

"Uh, no. How would that be good?" questioned Mr. Russo.

Max gave a slight snort, "How would that not be good?"

Mr. Russo stood there confused and everyone else just shook their heads, "Okay, just tell us what the good news is." Alex groaned.

"Oh right!" he began, "I just got you all into the best school in the wizard world!"

"Wiz tech?" Alex questioned, "I thought we weren't allowed back in?"

"We're not." He stated. "It's a different school in the wizard world. It's called Hogwarts."

Everyone in the changed from disappointed faces (They were still glaring at Max) to confused faces. They had never heard of Hogwarts.

"What's that?" Alex asked.

"It's a school in England, which means you guys have to live there too."

"Oh, well that doesn't sound like fun." Alex moaned.

"We're all going to London today." Continued Mr. Russo, ignoring Alex's comment.

"Now?" Wondered Justin.

"Yes." Mr. Russo answered.

So, everyone, except Harper of course, came closer and zapped out to London to catch the next train to Hogwarts.

"Harry! Harry wake up!"

Harry moaned and sat up to see the red kid he recognized as Ron, shaking him awake. Harry got out of bed, dressed himself and dashed down the stairs of the Weasley's house.

Everyone was already up and ready to go.

As soon as Harry finished eating, they all set off and took the car to the train station.

It was crowded with muggles (as usual). They finally stopped right between platform nine and ten.

"Alright then, Percy first." Mrs. Weasley said.

Percy took his trunk and everything and ran toward the wall. And just like that, vanished into the wall. Just like he did before.

"Alright, now me and Ginny." She took Ginny's hand, and they too disappeared into the wall.

"Ok our turn." Said Ron.

They got a good run going, then before they could go-

"HEY! YOU!" someone screeched from behind.

They stopped, and turned around.

There was two boys, and one girl. The girl was the one that stopped them. She had dark hair and dark eyes to match.

"Where's platform…" she stopped for a second to look at her ticket, "Nine and three quarters." She finally finished.

Ron was shocked, they didn't look like wizards- well one of them did- He was already wearing his Hogwarts robe.

If they were wizards, or witches, they would have gone to the school before.

But what would Harry and Ron know? They could have been there all along, and they just never noticed. But why didn't they know where the platform was?

"It's uh- right here" Harry stammered.

"Thanks." Said the girl, then she strutted toward the wall.

"Actually," Interrupted Ron. "You have to run through."

The girls smile faded. "Run?" She said in disbelief. "I don't run."

"I wanna go first!" screamed the young boy that was with them. Then he dashed head first into the wall.

"Max wait!" yelled the oldest one of the three. He too, ran into the wall.

Ron signaled his arms to the door, telling the girl it was her turn.

She grunted, then took a few steps back and ran straight through to the wall.

"Gee what a load of lunatics" snorted Ron. "Thought they'd never leave."

At that moment, Harry and Ron dashed into the wall.

There was a load of witches and wizards boarding the train.

One of them stood out the most, "Hermione!" They both yelled out in unison.

She turned, and a look of excitement gleamed on her face. They ran to her and she embraced them both.

"For a second I didn't think you guys were coming!" She said as she released them.

They then boarded the train and looked for a place to sit.

Unfortunately, there weren't many empty, but they managed to find one.

Harry slid the doors open and sat next to the window. Ron sat next him, and Hermione sat across from them both.

As soon as she sat down, Hermione said, "So how was your-"

The door suddenly opened and a boy, that both Harry and Ron recognized, splashed in. "Can we sit here?" He began. "Everywhere else is full."

They looked at each other. Ron gave a slight shake of the head.

"Of course!" exclaimed Hermione. Harry and Ron looked wide eyed.

"Great! Thanks! I'll go get my sister and my brother.

Then he left excitedly.

"What did you just do?!" scolded Ron.

"What?" said Hermione.

"We saw those people when we were trying to get to the train! They're weird!" Yelled an upset Ron.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Just because someone has a different accent than you doesn't mean-"

"No not like that!" Harry interrupted. "They were strange though."

At that moment they came in. Hermione moved over to the other side as the three of them filled up the empty seats.

For a while, there was a long awkward pause.

Then the youngest said, "Are these real frogs?" He said, pointing to the chocolate frogs.

"No. Just an enchantment." Said Ron obviously annoyed.

"Aw man." He said disappointed. "Here Justin you can have it."

"So your name's Justin then?" Asked Hermione.

"Oh, yeah." He said, "And this is my brother Max and my sister Alex."

Alex had her face buried into a magazine.

"And you are?"

"Oh, well I'm Hermione, and this is Harry, and Ron."

Harry gave a half smile, and Ron just sat there.

"Cool! So- uh, how long does this train ride last?" Asked Justin.

"A long time." Hermione answered.

There was another awkward pause, then Hermione asked, "So, uh- Is this your first time at Hogwarts?"

"Yeah." Justin answered.

"Why haven't you come before?" Asked Harry, suspiciously.

"Oh, well," Justin started. "We're American, obviously, and we were looking for a good wizard school."

"And our Dad found this one." Max said suddenly.

"Exactly." Said Justin.

"Oh! Well that makes sense." Said Hermione.

"I think Hermione's too trusting." Ron whispered to Harry.

Harry nodded. He didn't really like these people either.

"Well," Hermione said, "You are going to love it at Hogwarts!"

"I hope so." Said Justin.

The rest of the trip was rather quiet. They exchanged many questions to one another at different times to break the silence that filled the room.

Fred and George came by to say hi to Harry, too.

The train finally pulled into the school.

They all got off and when they went their different ways, (They had to go with all the first years.) Harry said, "I really hope they don't get in Gryffindor."

"Yeah, that would be a nightmare." Ron agreed.

"What do you two have against them?" Hermione said jumping in front of them with her arms crossed.

They stared at each other blankly. Neither of them had a good reason to dislike them, but there was something about them that Harry and Ron didn't like. They just hadn't figured out what it was…

"Well?" Hermione said, still waiting for an answer with her arms crossed.

Harry shrugged at Ron. "Dunno" Ron finally said.

"There's something about them, that just, just- bother me." Harry finally said.

Hermione gave an annoyed sigh. "Well, can't argue with that!" She said sarcastically.

Ron shrugged. "Well, they're just weird."

Hermione rolled her eyes and stalked away.

"What's up with her?" questioned Ron.

Harry just shrugged.

He also didn't like them, but they couldn't possibly be worse than Malfoy.
