Harry and Robert were standing on the platform ready to board the train to take them to Hogwarts. Sirius, Tonks and Remus were with them. "Now send us a letter as soon as your sorted so we know how you're getting on. If you have any problems owl us or talk to your teachers. What else?" Sirius asked.
"Have a good time and don't judge people by their appearance or by their houses," Remus added.
"And don't pull cruel pranks," Tonks said looking pointedly at the two boys, the man-child and the werewolf.
"Yes Tonks," Harry sighed smiling. He and Robert jumped onto the train and waved at them until they were tiny specs in the distance.
Draco was standing on the platform waiting for the train with his Godfather. Draco had already been at Hogwarts with his Godfather but he wished to catch the train and his Godfather had agreed so had apperated them both to the station and he would then apperate to Hogwarts when the train had left.
Draco was in awe as looked at the train and the parents surrounding the children on the platform. "I'll see you at Hogwarts Draco. If you have any problems on the train tell a prefect, the Head Boy or girl or talk to the driver. Then come and tell me after the welcome feast," Severus said.
"OK Uncle Sev," Draco agreed and then boarded the train finding a compartment for himself and waved to Severus until the train was a speck in the distance.
Jude was jumping up and down in excitement as he stood with his family on platform 9 3/4. He was finally going to Hogwarts like he had always dreamed of doing. He could feel the sneers of his other siblings on his back. . . well except the twins of course. "Owl us when you arrive!" Mrs Law called.
"'K," Jude replied as he waved to his family. Both parents waved back but his little sister Annie just sneered at him and turned her head away and waved at Mathew who was in the Slytherin compartments.
"Come on bro lets find you some first year friends," Greg said smiling. Jude nodded his head and followed his brothers.
Harry and Robert finally found a compartment which housed only one boy. "Do you mind everywhere else is full?" Harry asked.
"Sure! the more the merrier!" the blonde boy said smiling.
"Thanks," Robert mumbled.
"My names Draco Malfoy," the boy said holding out his hand.
"Harry Potter," Harry replied shaking his hand. Draco's mouth dropped.
"Do you have the scar?" he asked bluntly. Harry laughed and lifted his fringe. "Cool," Draco exclaimed, then turned to Robert. "Whats your name?" he asked smiling.
"Robert Downey Jr," Robert replied shaking Draco's hand. Draco's hand stilled.
"The werewolf?" he asked in a whisper and Robert froze but nodded slowly. "I've only ever met one werewolf and he wasn't very nice," Draco said frowning at the memory.
"I've met two. My Uncle Remus who adopted Robert off the streets not a week ago. Their both really nice," Harry replied with a frown. Draco smiled.
"It's nice to meet you," he said to Robert and soon the three boys began chatting like old friends. It seemed that Draco had finally found some friends. . . but would they still be his friends when they find out his past? or will they think he a coward?
Jude was happy to just sit with his brothers but he knew it wouldn't be cool for a first year to sit with third years, it didn't make him happy knowing this but he understood it to some extent. "Keep up Jude!" Rupert yelled from down the carriage. Jude jogged to catch his older brothers up. He then realised Greg was talking to some people in the compartment they were next too.
"Harry Potter," Jude heard someone mutter.
"No way?!" Greg and Rupert exclaimed.
"Yeah," Harry mumbled.
"He doesn't like publicity," another voice added.
"How come?" Greg and Rupert asked.
"People are always saying how I defeated Voldermort," Harry had obviously ignored he winces everyone had done because he continued. "I didn't do anything! All I did was sit there and cry because I had just watched my mum sacrifice herself for me. She's the real hero not me! if it wasn't for my mum I wouldn't be here and Voldermort would have taken over by now," Harry ranted.
"Wow," Greg said.
"Sorry kid. Anyway this is our brother Jude. Any of you make fun of him we'll prank you so hard your grandkids will feel it," Rupert threatened.
"Hewwo," Jude mumbled.
"Hi," Harry smiled.
"M' na Jude Waw," Jude said.
"Your names Jude Law?" Harry asked and Jude nodded happily while everyone else looked at Harry with their mouths open in shock. "I babysit this little boy next door to me with my Uncles and Aunt. He's five and a Muggle born wizard. He was in an accident when he was two which caused his speech to be affected. He doesn't let it get him down though. We told his parents he was a wizard and they were excited but kinda scared too. We've taught him wandless magic so he wont have to try to pronounce the spells and have them backfire because he can't say them properly," Harry explained.
"M' ta," Jude said pointing at himself.
"You too?" Harry asked and Jude nodded grinning and got his wand out and pointed it at his brothers turning their hair bright green with the words 'Slytherin suck sometimes!' across their foreheads causing everyone to laugh.
"Thanks Jude," the twins said laughing as they removed the spell and turned to leave.
"See ya later bro!" they called over their shoulders. Jude sat with the other boys and he felt like he had made some friends and it made him happy.
