Hagrid helped Harry on to the train that would take him back to the Dursleys, then handed him an envelope.
'Yer ticket fer Hogwarts, ' he said. 'First o' September - King's Cross - it's all on yer ticket. Any problems with the Dursleys, send me a letter with yer owl, she'll know where to find me ... Oh and by the way, to get onto the platform all yeh need to do is run right at the wall between platform 9 and 10 it might seem strange but believe me it ain't see yeh soon, Harry.'
The train pulled out of the station. Harry wanted to watch Hagrid untill he was out of sight;he rose in his seat and pressed his nose against the window, but he blinked and Hagrid was gone.
They reached Kings Cross at half past ten. Uncle Vernon dumped Harry's trunk on to a trolley and wheeled it on to the station for him. Harry thought this was strangely kind untill Uncle Vernon stopped dead, facing the platforms with a nasty grin on his face. 'Well , there you are, boy. Platform nine - platform ten. Your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they don't seem to have built it yet, do they?'
'but that's exactly where it is Uncle Vernon' said Harry in a mock innocent voice, and then to Vernon's suprise Harry walked straight through the platform. 'Bloody magic muttered Vernon as he made his way back to the car.
Meanwhile Harry had emerged on to a platform packed with people who were standing next to a scarlet steam engine.
Harry made his way through the crowd until he found an empty compartment near the end of the train. He put Hedwig inside first, and then tryed to heave his trunk towards the door he tried but found he couldn't and ended up dropping his trunk on his foot.
'Need a hand' said a burly sandy haired boy who looked around 15 or 16.
'Yes please,' panted Harry.
With the boys help Harry's trunk was stowed away in a corner of his compartment.
'Thanks' said Harry pushing his hair out of his eye's
'Whats that' asked the boy pointing at Harry's forehead.
'Wait your Harry Potter' he said with a smile on his face.
Harry could only nod and the boy's face lit up with excitement.
'I bet your amazing at Quidditch ever played a game before?'
Harry shook his head.
'Well if your in Gryffindor you should come to trials anyway, if your a first year you probably won't make it on to the team but if your good enough you might make it next year. My names Oliver Wood I'm captain of Gryffindor by the way I'll tell you the date of trials at school, see you around.'
Harry looked dumbstruck as the older boy walked away then he shook his head and made his way on to the train.
It wasn't 2 minutes before a young bushy haired girl came into his compartment with her trunk and asked
'Would you mind me sitting here I don't know anyone and everywhere else is full?'
'Not at all' said Harry who had never had any friends before.
'My names Hermione Granger' the girl said.
'Harry Potter' replied Harry.
'Oh are you really I've read so much about you'
'You have?' asked Harry.
'Of cource you're in Modern Magical History, The rise and Fall of the Dark Art's and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century.'
'Wow I never knew'
Harry then found out that Hermione was the daughter of 2 muggle's and that she wanted to be in Gryffindor. He also found out that she too had been bullied before she got her letter to Hogwarts.
Harry was sympathetic as it was similar to his child hood.
Just then a tearful round faced boy walked in and asked 'have either of you seen a toad?'
'No sorry' replied Hermione 'do you want us to help you look for him?'
The boy's face brightened instantly and replied
'Yes please'
The trio set off down the hallway of the train looking for the toad who they found out was named Trevor and his owner was named Neville Longbottom. Neville had squeaked when he heard Harry's name but managed to turn it into a convincing sneeze.
When asked about what house he wanted to be in Neville said
'Well I want to be in Gryffindor like my dad but I bet I'll be in Hufflepuff'
'Don't think that way Neville you had the courage to talk to us you'll be fine' said Harry
Neville's face brightened at that and walked back straight and head high into a compartment full of fifth years.
'Has anyone seen a toad' he said in a louder (though not by much) voice then he had to Harry and Hermione.
'I can get him' said a red heaired boy in a pompous voice 'Accio toad.'
Trevor came zooming towards the outsretched hand of the red head.
'There you
go' he said smugly before saying'now excuse me I have to go to the prefect's compartment'
And he strutted off as Neville muttered his thanks.
At Harry's compartment Neville thanked Harry and Hermione before saying 'I'll be off now'
And he left the compartment.
At that moment the train started to move and Hermione asked Harry
'Do you know any spell's?'
Harry replied rather awkwardly 'no'
'Neither do I but I think I'll try and learn some do you want to as well?'
'Of cource' replied Harry enthusiasticly he had never been asked to join in at anything before. Harry thought to himself as he went to his trunk to get his school book's this might be greater than I thought.
