Today was the first of September! [Y/N] saw his ticket to Hogwarts said platform 9 ¾ and was very confused. He saw a boy who looked to be having similar problems and with a similar trolley but where [Y/N] had Mamba this boy had a stunning white owl. [Y/N] walked up to him and glanced at his ticket and sighed in relief as he saw 9¾ on his ticket too. "hey, I'm [Y/N]" The boy looked up from what he was doing and said "uhh hi… I'm Harry, Harry Potter." After introductions they both agreed that the wisest course of action was to go to the middle of platforms 9 and 10. Once they got there, they saw a lady with flaming red hair and five children all with the same red hair. She looked up at [Y/N]'s and Harry's confused faces and smiled. (All her children except the youngest who was a girl had the same trolleys.) "having trouble getting to platform 9¾" she asked. [Y/N] and Harry both nodded shyly. She mentioned something about one of her children Ron and then they all ran through the barrier and were shocked at what happened. [Y/N] saw an amazing red steam train. A man was yelling all aboard and [Y/N], Harry and Ron quickly jumped on. Just before they did one of Ron's brothers yelled "Wait! You're Harry Potter!" Everyone stopped and stared at him except for [Y/N] who looked around confused. After a short discussion [Y/N] found out that Harry is famous for apparently defeating a great nameless wizard when Harry was only a baby. After everyone settled down the three boys hopped on the train and found an empty compartment. Shortly later the train started moving. [Y/N] waved goodbye to the parents on the platform before realising he knew none of them and sat down embarrassed.

After a few minutes a girl came in looking for some boy's toad. The second [Y/N] looked up into her deep brown eyes he looked away blushing. Thankfully she hadn't realised. [Y/N] had no idea what was happening until she left because he was mesmerised by her. After she left Ron said something mean about her and [Y/N] rushed to her defence. [Y/N] didn't have any idea why he was defending someone he didn't know at all. Harry and Ron were surprised, even [Y/N] was surprised. Most of the trip went by in a blur even though Harry (who seemed to be very rich) bought a lot of food. [Y/N] however ate it subconsciously because all he could think about was the girl that came into the cabin. Ron and Harry were talking, and [Y/N] interrupted Ron mid-sentence "What was that girls name?" he asked. "Didn't you listen to a word she said?" After [Y/N] shook his head "That was Hermione Granger the resident know it all". said Ron. "Stop being so mean to Hermione she…" [Y/N] snapped fuming just as the door opened and a boy flanked by two massive boys walked in. His hair was a strange platinum colour. He obviously heard what [Y/N] was saying and obviously made the connection that both Harry and Ron made at the same time. "what! You like Granger don't you?" the boy again not as a question but more of a statement of truth. "Go on Draco you bloody git" said Ron as [Y/N] looked away blushing. Draco turned to one of the boys behind him completely ignoring Ron and said, "Go get Granger". [Y/N] looked at him with a pleading look in his eyes. He smirked back and sat down next to him. He smirked again and after hearing footsteps said, "Grangers coming." Draco's thug returned towing Hermione behind. [Y/N] stood up furious as she winced in pain. [Y/N] started walking towards the brute but the other one threw him back onto the seat. Draco turned to Hermione and said, "[L/N] has something to tell you Granger." [Y/N] was fighting against the thug's arm holding him there but when Draco said this [Y/N] stopped struggling and looked up into Hermione's eyes (she had been pushed into the middle of the cabin). [Y/N]'s cheeks felt hotter than the sun and as red as a tomato. He made eye contact with her but looked away almost immediately. "If you're too shy in front of Granger. I'll tell her for you." [Y/N] looked straight at him, the pleading look returning to his eyes. "You see Granger, this useless [L/N] boy here loves you." [Y/N]'s cheeks somehow blushed even more and it felt like his entire body was red. He stared straight at the door. He quickly jumped up and made a run for the door but only to be clotheslined and thrown back into the seat. His nose had blood pouring out of it. Draco and his 'friends' left very quietly unless [Y/N] was unintentionally blocking out all noise. Hermione stepped closer. Noise was coming back to [Y/N] and he heard her saying in the smoothest gentlest voice "hey, hey its ok." Hermione was gently nursing your blood nose with a wet towel she seemed to have magiked into existence. [Y/N] looked straight at her eyes and could see gentle, caring, deep brown eyes. He started leaning towards her, wanting so badly to kiss her when Harry and Ron (who [Y/N] had completely forgotten about) coughed loudly. "Oh" [Y/N] said. He was extremely happy to see that Hermione had closed her eyes expecting and wanting the kiss. However now her eyes shot open. [Y/N] and Hermione both got up -Hermione was on one knee to reach his nose better- and she left after saying to all three boys "We'll be there soon, you should all get changed." She left with one last longing look at [Y/N] who was getting his suitcase to get changed his face still bright red. While getting changed Ron said, "so Granger is it?" [Y/N] blushed yet again and said "well…" and trailed off, hopping it was a good enough answer. The train stopped just in time to stop [Y/N] from further embarrassment and the three of them got off and Ron said, "why Granger? She's just a no-good know-it-all." Just as Hermione stormed past very upset and knocked Ron out of the way. [Y/N] started to run after her but then turned back to Ron and was about to yell at him, but he heard a large man yelling "Firs' years this way" He, Harry and Ron followed the man. He told [Y/N] that first years always travel to Hogwarts by boat, so Harry and Ron got into a boat and sat next to each other at the back. Just then [Y/N] saw Hermione come over to him and she said, "Do you wanna… maybe sit together?" He tried his hardest to smile and say "yes" but nothing came out, so he nodded awkwardly. They both glared at Ron for his earlier comment. Hermione turned back to [Y/N] and smiled at him and they sat at the front of the boat. [Y/N] put his hand on the seat between himself and her and then realised her hand was already there. He blushed and put his hand into his lap. He heard Harry and Ron sniggering behind them and [Y/N] glared at them and Hermione shot a murderous look at Ron. Hermione grabbed [Y/N]s hand and held it in her soft warm one. [Y/N] heard more sniggering, but Hermione told him to ignore them. [Y/N] and Hermione both leaned in for a kiss just as the boat stopped and they had to get out. [Y/N] sighed frustrated and got out of the boat.
