It was finally the day I have been waiting for. The day I get to go to Hogwarts. It was a warm and sunny morning when I went through my school trunk once again. Making sure that I had everything I needed for school.

Ever since I retrieved the letter I have been training in various areas of magic. From potions, to spell casting, transfiguration to occlumency.

I had checked the wards around the Dursleys house last night after the muggle family were asleep, hiding under my invisibility cloak and found that the wards had been significantly weakened, certainly weak enough to move my Potter trunk out until I must return. Even though I knew that the Dursleys can't see it, I don't want to take the chance of anyone finding it.

It was currently 7:30 and I felt that it was early enough to step out behind my uncle as he left for work. I kept my school trunk and all of my things inside my home trunk and, holding my wand and invisibility cloak I tapped my wand against my trunk, and whispered shrink.

I picked up the small trunk and stuck it in my pocket and put my wand in its holster under my sleeve. Throwing my cloak over myself and making sure my feet were covered I snuck out of the attic, walking through the house of my aunt and uncle for the first time in 7 years.

I waited by the door for Uncle Vernon to leave. I watched as the beached whale left the kitchen giving the horse woman a kiss on the cheek.

"Is our Dudders ready for Smeltings tomorrow?" He asked her. She nodded and told him that they had gone into London last week to get his school supplies. He nodded and opened the door. He turned around, door still open to tell Aunt Petunia something and I saw my chance.

I side stepped past my uncle and watched as he closed the door behind him and walked to the car. I waited until the car was out of my sight before walking in the opposite direction, towards the nearby wooded area that muggles don't generally go near.

I walked deep into the woods, far from the sounds of human life. After walking for about half in hour I stopped, and looking around I pulled out my Potter trunk. I opened up the house and climbed down the ladder to grab my school trunk. And took it out of my home and into the woods, making sure that no one could see me. I pulled my school trunk out and closed my trunk home and made it shrink again before putting it into my pocket once more.

With that done I portkeyed to the muggle entrance to Kings Cross. Once I stopped spinning I took a look around. It was 8 am and I had 3 hours before the train leaves. The alley I was in was one that didn't seemed to be used much. I looked at the map Nagnok had given me, laying it inside the cover of my potions book, knowing that I would go through all of my books before term would start.

I noticed that I was only 3 blocks away from Kings Cross. Not far at all. It only took me ten minutes to reach the station.

It wasn't very busy when I arrived. Only a few muggles here and there. I decided to look around, having never been to a train station before. It was 9 when I finally finished looking around and walked over to platforms 9 and 10.

Making sure no one was watching I walked straight for the wall. If any muggles had been looking in my direction they would have thought that I was going to crash into the wall, but no crash ever came, instead I merely walked through it like it wasn't even there.

There was hardly anybody on the platform, which was fine by me. Nobody would be paying me any attention as I silently boarded the train. I chose a comfortable compartment in the middle of the train.

It was a nice size, big enough for about 8 people to sit comfortably. I wondered if Draco Malfoy would remember to look for me from when we met on my birthday. I wondered what he would say when he realized who I was.

I opened my school trunk and pulled out my copy of Hogwarts: A History, knowing that it would be a long wait.

I watched as my brothers were all running around, searching for last minute items to put in their school trunks.

I was jealous. All of my brothers were heading to Hogwarts today, and I had to stay home all year. It was my older brother Ron's first year. Mum told us that he was going to be in the same class as Harry Potter. He was so excited to meet The-Boy-Who-Lived.

The Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore pulled me and Ron aside a few months ago. He told us about the Potter heir and had asked Ron to befriend him. He said that Harry had been raised by muggles and didn't know anything about the wizarding world. He wanted Ron to be friends with him so Harry could have someone to explain things to him that he wouldn't be familiar with.

After Ron left, Professor Dumbledore told me that when I got to the school next year that I should become friends with him too. He also said that he had written up a marriage contract between us and all he needed was dads signature.

Dad hasn't signed it yet but I hope he does. I've always had a crush on my childhood hero and I would be so happy to one day be Mrs. Potter.

Mom wanted us to get to the muggle entrance in half an hour so we can help Harry figure out how to get on the platform. The clock said that it was 10 when everyone had finally finished running around and sat down for a quick breakfast.

At exactly 10:30 we made our way into the station. Fred, George and Percy all pushed their carts while mum pushed Rons. She was muttering quietly about how the station was always filled with muggles.

Ron and I looked around expectantly, searching for the famous Harry Potter. We circled the entire station until it was 10:50, and there was still no Harry. My mum decided to give up the search and pushed everyone to get onto the platform before they'd all miss the train. I stood there with mum and wondered where my future husband was.

I looked up from my book as I heard the door open. Draco Malfoy entered the compartment, a smirk on his face.

"There you are. I was wondering if I was going to find you. Mind if I sit here with you?"

"Of course not Draco. And my apologies, I don't believe I had been able to introduce myself in the shop. Names Harry Potter." I told him.

"If you are, where's your scar?" He asked and I lifted my bangs. "Sorry, I bet that seems a bit rude doesn't it?"

"Yeah but your fine."

"Father would be glad to know that I met you. We heard that you were raised by muggles."

"Have a problem with muggles do you?"

"Unlike what everyone seems to think, we Malfoys don't have a problem with muggles or muggleborns. We decide on how people treat other people, not on their birth. We're not like some pureblood families. What about you? What are your feelings towards muggles and muggleborn?"

"I don't have a problem with them as a whole. I just don't like people who think they are better than everyone else or people who try to manipulate people."

"I can tell that we are going to get along just fine."

A couple of minutes later the door opened again and in came 4 more people, 3 girls and an Italian boy. They talked to Draco for a minute before asking if they could stay. I nodded, not worried because I have a good judge of character, and these people didn't seem bad.

After a moment Draco decided to introduce them to me.

"This is Mandy Brocklehurst." He started pointing to a girl with bright blue eyes and long, straight black hair framing her face.

"This is Tracey Davis." He pointed to a girl with blue eyes and wavy brown hair.

"That is Daphne Greengrass" he waved to a girl pretty girl with long pale blonde hair and blue grey eyes.

"And that is Blaise Zabini. We have all been good friends for years. Guys this is Harry Potter."

"Hey Harry. What do you think about Hogwarts?" Blaise asked and I grinned. I wasn't going to tell these guys yet that I already knew all about the wizarding world, if I got to know them better I will, but not yet.

We settled in as the train left the station and spent a long discussion on what houses we thought we might end up in and which house we would choose if given the chance.

(Ron's pov)

I had walked all over the train, looking everywhere for the famous Harry Potter. My brothers had all rushed off as soon as we boarded. Percy said he needed to go to the Prefects compartment. Fred and George ran off looking for their friend Lee Jordan.

I had spent 10 minutes searching this whole train, but Harry Potter isn't here. I have no idea what to do now. I had found an empty compartment at the back of the train and I could think of now is just wait and hope he ends up finding me.

After all this is the only compartment that isn't full. It would only be a matter of time before I could reintroduce the Boy-Who-Lived to the wizarding world.

Then I can tell him all about the greatest house of all time, Gryffindor. I could also tell him about the evil Slytherins like Malfoy.
