It shocked me. And now it's going to shock you... I don't own Harry Potter... damn.
It was another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcrat and Wizardry for one Harry Potter of Number 4 Privit Dv. Another year of tolerating Professor Snape and his little side kick Draco Malfoy. Another year of classes, people, friends and most defiantly having to deal with copious assassination attempts by the very evil and powerful Lord Voldemort. All in all just another year. He had been at Hogwarts for the last four years and knew exactly what to expect... or so he thought. How was Harry to know that this year would be very different indeed.
When Harry arrived at platform 9 and ¾ he was a little early so he decided to look around for a bit. He had never actually seen more than the loading platform, though doubted that there was much else. He set his bags, including Hedwig in her old metal cage, down and walked off along the path that flanked the scarlet steam engine. He had to be very weary of where he stepped as chattering witch's and wizards where scattered all along his path, most oblivious to his attempts to pass. At one time he was nearly pushed off the platform by two burly Slytherins as they rushed off in the opposite direction. Just when Harry was about to give up and turn back he spotted a sign swinging in an invisible wind. Harry raised himself on his tiptoes in an attempt to see over a gaggle of giggling Hufflepuff 6^th years, it was no use but he could hardly go around them as they had managed to take up the entire sidewalk. Crest fallen Harry turned away, walking to the train and leaning on it in
defeat. His head lolled back so it was lay on the window of one of the last carriages. He stared around morosely, crossing his arms sulkily. Suddenly he heard the sound a door being slammed closed in the carriage behind him. He jumped with surprise but inclined his head so an ear was pressed up against the glass. He knew he shouldn't pry but he didn't have anything else to do so he decided what the hell! The voices in the cabin were muffled but he managed to make out a silky voice, which he very much hoped belonged to a woman.
"Must I tell you one more time? She will be no danger to anyone! Her powers are completely gone - their sealed and both you and I know nothing alive can break that seal. Now go away before anyone sees you - you're supposed to be at Hogwarts already... If anything happens I swear I will deal with it! Now leave!" Harry pressed his ear closer to the glass but was only in time to hear the carriage door being closed roughly. From then on the room was as silent as time. After that little entertainment Harry wondered around a bit more until it was time to board and meet up with his two best friends: Ron and Hermione. He had so much fun on the train with his friends (except for the annual Malfoy interruption) that he forgot all about the strange conversation, which could prove to be costly, very costly.

So here we are at the end of the first chapter, drinks and cucumber sandwiches for everyone! And a slice of chocolate mouse cake for anyone who reviews.
