The clock tower above Saint Pancras station shows 9.30 a.m., and the Potter family is seen to alight the taxi just outside King's Cross Station. James and Harry hurriedly make their ways to the back of the car to take out Harry's trunk from the boot, while Lily is fishing for her purse in her handbag. After the taxi driver is paid for his service, the trio proceed into King's Cross Station while chatting and laughing merrily with each other towards Platform 9 and 10.

"We should build a jacuzzi in Harry's room now, since he won't be around much to use the room," says James to Lily with all the intention of taunting Harry, who swiftly gives a stink eye at his father, while pushing the trolley pack with trunk, a bird cage with a perching snowy owl, and other Harry's stuff that are unknown even to Harry since he mindlessly tossed everything of his into those bags and boxes.

"Honestly old man. It is not as if I am moving into Hogwarts for good!" Harry gives a loud scoff and causes a roar of laughter from James. Lily shakes her head as she chuckles from the side, still feeling amused at the casual banter between her husband and son every now and then.

"You're gonna miss me when I'm gone old man. Do cherish your only son within this last hour before it is too late," says Harry before sticking his tongue out at James, and James does the same as his reply.

"Alright boys. Enough teasing and focus on this." Lily successfully grabs their attention as now they are standing in between Platform 9 and 10 in King's Cross Station. There aren't many people milling around those platforms, except for a family with noticeable pale faces sporting white blond hairs that Harry believes can be seen from across the station without the help from the sun.

"Lucius!" greets James happily as the Potters move closer towards the family; however, all James got from the man is a very formal, unenthusiastic reply of, "Mr. Potter." Wow. What a stuck up man? Harry inner thought states, and the message is conveyed directly onto his face as now Harry is frowning at the man called Lucius who is now staring at Harry back with a terrible cold stare.

"Joining the Hogwarts this year as well I see?" asks Lucius with a deadpan expression.

"Your son too? What was his name again? Drake? Drape? Drunko?" Harry snorts at the remark made by his father, which he quickly covers it up by clearing his throat violently. The edge of Lucius's lips twitches; the boy who is apparently the son glowers while moving backwards to hide himself behind his father's figure.

James laughs as he pats the back of Lucius's shoulder. "Oh come on Lucius. Lighten up! I was horsing around here. No offense Draco." The boy called Draco hesitantly nods his head and gives James a timid smile. "And congratulation on becoming one of Hogwarts students," he adds more.

"Thanks," replies Draco quietly.

"Mr. Potter," Lucius quickly cuts in and continues to walk through the brickwall in between Platform 9 and 10, which a second later he vanishes behind the wall, both Harry and Draco watch the event in awe. The pale lady who has been standing soundlessly in the back approaches Draco and stands closely next to him.

"Come on now son," she speaks, and now both of them disappear almost instantly into the brickwall. Harry still finds this very amusing indeed, and his dropped jaw is the obvious proof.

Suddenly Harry feels a soft pat on his shoulder, he glances up to see his father looking back at him with a smile. Harry now have the control of his trolley in turn, his father swoops down to level with him, and softly mutters in his ear, "Just ram through it. Much more fun that way." James gives a sly grin accompanied with a wink.

Harry sneers.

"You sure you are not trying to get your son killed in vain here, are you Dad?"

Harry backs away from the brickwall to gather enough momentum to ram into that very wall. He takes a deep breath and with the count of two, he starts running into the wall, and the next thing he sees is a stream of white smoke emitting out of a black locomotive's chimney.

He is now standing on Platform 9¾, and before him stands the famous Hogwarts Express train, the sole transportation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
