Slytherin Harry

Chapter 1: Platform Nine And Three- Quarters

They wheeled their trolleys down the platform and found a compartment in the middle of the train that only had two other boys inside. Both of them were thickset and looked extremely tough. Draco snapped his fingers and they both stood at once coming over to take the two trunks and heave them into the corner of the compartment.

"Harry, this is Crabbe and Goyle. Their fathers are good friends of mine." Draco drawled in his lazy voice.

Harry grinned, "Nice to meet you boys."

Harry and Draco took seats across from each other and spent the next hour getting to know each other. It was about twelve when a smiling dimpled woman slid back their cart and said, "Anything off the trolley dears?"

Harry who hadn't eaten breakfast leapt to his feet only to be pulled back down by his new friend.

"Let the human bludgers go first." Draco whispered as Crabbe and Goyle rushed towards the trolley. Harry snickered and nodded his agreement.

The two big boys finished and came waddling back in their arms full of sweets. At this point Harry and Draco stood and headed out. Harry looked over the selection there, there were Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life. Looking towards Draco for assistance he smiled uncertainly.

"What's good Draco?" Draco paused and looked at Harry in surprise.

"You've never tried this stuff before? Oh, well then, if you're hungry then Pumpkin Pasties is a good place to start. Chocolate Frogs are also nice and if you're thirsty there's also Pumpkin Juice."

"Thanks." Harry smiled and nodded before turning to the woman with the trolley.

"I'll have two Pumpkin Pasties, five Chocolate Frogs and one Pumpkin Juice."

Harry paid the woman and carried his food back to his seat. He took a bite out of a Pumpkin Pasty and sighed. Finishing the pasty off Harry picked up a pack of Chocolate Frogs, "These aren't real frogs are they?"

"No" said Draco.

"It's nice though, besides it's the cards you want. Each pack has a famous witch or wizard. I've almost completed my collection. Why don't you start your own?"

Harry unwrapped his Chocolate Frog and picked up the card. It showed a man's face. Undeneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore.

"So this is Dumbledore." said Harry and sneered.

"I've got about five of him. You know he's not as great as everyone makes him out be. Father always said that he was the worst thing to happen to Hogwarts."

"I know. My aunt dislikes him as well."

They ate in silence as Harry continued to open his Chocolate Frogs. Soon he not only had Dumbledore but Morgana, Paracelsus, Circe and Merlin. He finally put the cards away in his trunk and drank some Pumpkin Juice.

A few hours later it was becoming dark and train started to slow down.

Harry and Draco changed and when train stopped they went out with the rest of the students.
