Harry had once again convinced Uncle Vernon to drive him to the station. Harry knew where to go so lost no time so he hurried to change into his Daft Punk disguise in a bathroom and he had already shrunk his belongings with a self-shrinking trunk. What can he say it was an option and no he would not be taken to task for underage magic. He also sent Hedwig ahead flying she knew where to go and no use letting her sit cramped in a cage all day long on a train when he knew she would rather fly there. And his plan to prank the Weasleys were in route. After all, the twins were fun to prank and he was sure his marauder heritage was in full play. So Harry went close to the pillar and posed as if he was a statue for something commercial. He also made sure to play a little bit of music while displaying the song name on the screen of his helmet. As the Weasleys came into sight he instantly caught their attention. " What's that?" he could hear them discuss. "We don't have much time the train will leave soon," Molly said. Harry Instantly began Playing Voyager as he starts to dance like a robot towards the pillar. "Do you reckon it's gonna crash in the pillar?" he hears one of the twins say. "We need to reach the train," Molly whispered yelled to her kids. And that's the moment Harry goes through the pillar, to a chorus of "wicked!" by the twins. Harry hurried to find the compartment he usually shared with Ron. As he sat down he could hear the Weasley share hurried goodbyes with each other, like always. Ron found him first he was halfway through his usual introduction when he realized he already saw Harry before. " You're the thing from the platform. " Ron said surprised. " Indeed I am, Ronald Weasley. " Harry said putting on a robot smiley face. "Wow, how'd you know my name," Ron said amazed. The Twins stuck their heads in. "Hey, Ron we're about to… hey, it's the thing from the platform." They said paying attention to Harry. " Please feel to call me Daft Punk, Fred and George Weasley." "it knows our names!" the twins said in unison. "hey that's what I said when you came barging in," says Ron indignantly. "how do you…" "know our names?" Harry deadpanned:" I'm a robot from the future who came back to record the happenings of the year 1991 and forward for study." Harry wanted to see how long he could play off the joke of him being a robot from the future. "a what now?" Ron said confused. "either way, Lee's and his tarantella…" "…is waiting for us, be nice to the row-boat Ron." The twins say as they make their way out. "ugh, spiders." Ron shivers. " I can play you some music to take your mind of the subject. I must warn you though I only come equipped with licensed music for my model. I do have all the albums; Homework, Discovery, Human after all, alive 1997 and alive 2007 in my mainframe. " Harry said in his robot voice. Ron stunned says: " can you say that one more time?" Harry smiled this was too perfect to joke with. " selection chosen, playing album discovery track nr.1; One more time." Harry made sure to put on the pretty lights show too. After all, Discovery was his favorite album but what can he say he loved the fact that it has its own movie called Interstella 5555. Or as he knew it Interstella 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Ron was surprised to hear music like it but lucky for Harry he seemed to like it. And he had totally forgotten about the spider. Some time went as Harry went through the song. A knock was heard; " Anything off the trolley dears?" Harry put the song he was on, on pause even though it was almost done. Ron did it's okay I have a packed lunch routine, but Harry decided to buy Ron's favorites. Ron eyed Harrys hall with a little envy. "I'm a robot I do not need this substance as you humans do, In exchange for this candy may I play songs for rest of the trip. I particularly enjoy track nr.2 Aerodynamic's electrical guitar." "deal, thanks mate!" Ron said happily as he disregarded his sandwich for the candy. Harry began playing the song. "sounds like (church) bells to me mate…" Ron said confused. "the part stars around 1:01 I will put a timer under the name for you to see it." Harry did as he promised. Safe to say when the electric guitar came round Ron was wondering how in the world something could make a noise like that. Harry was enjoying the music but was wondering if sometime later he would consider letting Ron, in on the joke after all the band Daft Punk has two members…. But would Ron concent to wear a silver helmet? Maybe after some time getting to know him… They let the time go on with some more music from the albums at random. After a while, Hermione and Neville made there Have you seen Neville's toad round. "Hey, have you seen a toad Neville's lost one!?" "Sorry, I have not detected a toad on my internal radar. However, according to data stored on my software, there is an upper-level spell called Accio that can be used to summon objects. If you are unable to use the spell I suggest you go to the front of the train where a Prefect compartment is located they are obligated to help out students." Hermione surprised at a robot of all things is talking to her at a train filled with magic. "Thank you, for the information." Said Neville timidly. " No problem Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger," Harry said making sure his robot face was a happy animated one even though he was smirking on the inside of the helmet. "What? how do you know our names even though we haven't introduced our selves?! And how is your technology functioning in a magic rich environment, magic usually shortcircuits technology everytime it comes in contact with something technological!?" Hermione said urgently wanting to know the answer. Ron pipes in." He says he is a robot from the future come back in time to go to Hogwarts. And I'm Ron Weasely and he called himself Daft Punk." Hermione turned her head to Ron and said:" But that doesn't explain how he has not shut down when he came in contact with the magic!?" Harry decided to pitch in: "Quoting Arthur C. Clarke "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I'm from the future I'm built, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger than the computers you are acquainted with. " after all If he can put in a song title joke he will do it it's too much fun. "Hermione, I want to go get Trevor so if you want to stay it's okay…" Neville says. "No, no I'll come with you Neville. I'll want to talk with you later Mr. Punk." "It will be a pleasure Miss Granger I will periodically be unavailable, because of reports to the future and maintenance checks," Harry said. He knew she was the most skeptical one but he was determined to win her over. Sometime later Draco and Crabbe and Goyle came looking for Harry Potter. " I see no Harry Potter in this compartment just a Weasley and you! I got that harder better faster stronger song suck in my head for a week because of you!" Harry was not gonna pass the invitation up. " Playing Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger now. " "No, No, No It's going to get stuck in my head again, Crabb, Goyle we are leaving Potter is not in this compartment and I can't be heard humming that thing again," Draco said as he hastily left the compartment. "What's the matter with him?" Ron said confused. "Draco Malfoy suffered a system overload in my presence last we met and I tried to help him over it using music as an icebreaker. Sadly it seems my effort was in vain." Harry said but his helmet was showing a smiling animation. "I like you mate," Ron says grinning at Harry. After some more hours of camaraderie and good music, the trip that was too long was nearing a close and Ron and Harry had to change into their school uniforms. Harry used a switching spell with a little bit of digital flare to put his school uniform on keeping his gloves and helmet on. "Wow cool mate wish I could do that I just have to change like a regular human," Ron said a bit enviously. " according to my databanks, there is a spell for that," Harry said to cheer Ron up. "Hm, neat," Ron said back. They set off the train following a calling Hagrid towards the boats. "wow, it's getting dark," Ron says. "activating night vision," Harry says in his robot voice as he uses the spells on his helmet to see and takes a hold of Ron's arm as he is about to fall and helps him to his feet. "Your full of surprises mate," Ron says smiling at Harry. Harry makes sure the mask is beaming back at Ron. "Four to a boat," Hagrid called out. Harry and Ron sit down with Hermione and Neville in a boat.". "Thank you again for the Help Mr. Punk a Prefect help me get Trevor back," Neville says as he shows Trevor to Harry and Ron. "No problem Mr. Longbottom," Harry said making his mask have a friendly smiley on it. " can't we all just use our first names? " Ron says; " adding Mr and miss is for the adults to worry about." "But it's Polite." Hermione butts in. "If that is your preferences I can easily change my coding so to call you by only your first names," Harry says to displace the tension caused. The others smile at that, but before nothing else is said they have to duck under a curtain of ivy and embark on their journey inside the castle following McGonnagal who showed up to greet them. And they step into the waiting chamber Harry takes the chance the ghosts give him to hide and switch back to his Harry Potter persona. He steps all the way in the back of the line even if he knows the other wondered where Daft Punk went. He knew he had to wait until a free time tomorrow before he could be with his friends again. For now, it's time to be the most boring famous person ever, yeah this is the truth of the high life. But he knew he wanted to be a Gryffindor again though. Funnily enough when they got to the P's Draco and the others looked around more for Daft Punk than Harry Potter. Score one for Potter being a boring celeb. After all, if anyone deserved credit for that night it as his mom.
