Uncle Harry!"

Harry turned to see a lanky boy bolting towards him, smiling and waving. Harry was surprised to find his namesake alone for his first time on Platform 9 and 3/4, but then, Little Harry was always a firebrand, matching his flame-red hair.

"Ha! I told Mom & Dad I could get thru the barrier myself!" cheered Little Harry, who loved to tell anyone he could that he was named after "The Famous Harry Potter!". He gave Harry a tight hug, Ginny a quick kiss on the cheek, and then began regaling Albus and Lily with his adventure from Kings Cross Station to the Hogwarts Express. Harry looked towards the magical barrier for Little Harry's parents just as they appeared onto the platform.

'I did it, Mom! See Dad, it was easy!"exclaimed Little Harry triumphantly. His mother exchanged hugs with Ginny and Harry then immediately rounded on her runaway son. "We told you to wait for us! You know how nervous your father was about coming here." she scowled, but with a slight grin. Behind her carrying Little Harry's trunk stumbled Dudley Dursley.

"How did our little Dinkydums do thru the barrier?" joked Harry as he reached out to Dudley for a handshake and hug. Dudley set down his son's trunk and gave his cousin the usual punch in the arm before saying relievedly, "Wasn't as bad as I expected. Good thing Stella and I had years to prepare for this moment, since Little Harry first did magic as a baby. Dad will never get over being on the receiving end of that 'diaper spell'."

Stella Dursley looked up from scolding her now-squirming son, "Growing up in the States, I heard rumors in our family history about strange aunts and uncles with red hair like mine. I bet they were really witches and wizards, like our Harry."

"Mum still thinks it's because I named him after you." chortled Dudley before he gave Harry an even tighter hug than his son had, whispering "Thanks again for all your help, Harry."

"We"ll see you and Ginny later at Mum and Dad's for dinner." he added as they all parted ways to the Hogwarts Express.
