Everyone walked into Kings Cross Station. Yuna had a cage with a snowy white owl in it.
"It's required that you have an owl." Hagrid had explained when buying it. Yuna had been overjoyed and named it Juno.
"What are these machina?" Wakka asked looking at the trains.
"He means machines." Tidus explained when he saw the puzzled look on Hagrid's face.
"They're trains," He explained, "People use them to travel from one place to another easily."
"We sure could've used them on the pilgramage." Tidus joked.
"Which train are we taking?" Lulu asked.
"You can't see it, it's hidden in the wall between platforms 9 and 10."
"Why's it hidden?" Tidus asked.
"We don't want muggles to find the wizard world."
"What are muggles?"
"Non-magic people, if they found our world then it might cause a war."
"Why?"
"Blimey! Some people are afraid of magic, they're afraid of what they don't understand, we're best left alone."
They came up to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
"Just run right at it." Hagrid explained.
"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled at one. Several people stopped and starred at them.
"Trust me, you'll see."
"I'll go first." Tidus said taking a deep breath. He ran at the wall and shut his eyes. He heard a WHOOSH noise then opened his eyes. He was standing at a deserted platform. He could see a large train with the words "Hogwarts Express" on the front.
"It's okay!" He called through the barrier.
First Yuna came trough, then Wakka, then Lulu, and finally Hagrid.
"How come this area is so empty?" Lulu asked looking around.
"Professor Dumbledore told me to bring you here early so no one would see you, I'll watch you get on the train, go to the very back and you'll see a door with the word "Restricted" on it. Go on through it.
Everyone started to climb onto the train.
"Thanks a lot Hagrid," Tidus called, "Will we ever see you again?"
"Of course," Hagrid said grinning, "I'm the groundskeeper at Hogwarts."
"Come on Tidus," Yuna said grabbing his arm, "Let's go."
They found the compartment with no problems. After a little while they heard noises outside the door like children talking.
"Those must be the other students." Lulu said.
"No, really, you think?" Tidus said sarcastically. Yuna elbowed him in the ribs.
"Cut it out you guys," Wakka said holding up his blitzball, "Or else I'll-"
Suddenly the train lurched forward knocking Wakka off balance.
"Sit down already!" Lulu shouted. Wakka sat down next to her rubbing his sore head.
At that moment the compartment door slid open. The boy with black hair and glasses from Diagon Alley stepped inside. He frowned when he saw them.
"Um… are you sure you have the right compartment?" He asked nervously.
"One-Thousand percent." Tidus said leaning back.
The boy shrugged. "Ok," He turned around, "Ron! Hermione! We've got company!"
The boy with red hair and freckles and the girl with brushy brown hair stepped into the compartment. They sat down across from them.
"Hi," The boy with glasses said, "My name is Harry Potter, these are my friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."
Yuna smiled. "Pleased to meet you Harry, my name is Yuna, these are my guardians Tidus, Wakka, and Lulu."
Hermione frowned. "Hey, I've never seen you at school before, where are from?"
"We're from Spira." Wakka responded.
"Never heard of it," Ron chimed in, "I've heard of Sweden and Sydney but not Spira."
"That's because it's in another world you dipshit." Tidus said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Wow!" Hermione cried, "Another world! You've got to tell me all about it!"
"Hermione's a real book worm." Harry chuckled.
They had a good time talking to each other. Yuna and Lulu were telling Hermione all about Spira, it's customs, and the fights with Sin. Meanwhile Harry and Ron were telling Wakka and Tidus all about Quidditch and Wakka and Tidus were telling them all about Blitzball.
"Is it really played in a anti-gravity water globe?" Ron asked with wide eyes.
"Yep." Wakka said grinning.
"Wicked, so do you hold your breath all that time or do you take breaks so you can breathe?"
"We hold our breath."
"Have bludgers ever killed anyone?" Tidus asked eagerly.
"Not at Hogwarts." Harry said shrugging.
Harry reached up and brushed his bangs out of his eyes.
"Hey what's that?" Tidus asked pointing at the scar on Harry's forehead. Yuna leaned over and looked at it. "It looks like a scar," She said frowning, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Harry said brushing his bangs back down.
Lulu rolled her eyes. "Men." She muttered.
"How'd you get it brudda?" Wakka asked. Harry started to explain but he was interrupted when the compartment door slid open again.
"Well well, look whose here, the dream team." A boy with greasy blond hair sneered. He had two taller boys standing just behind him that looked like his bodyguards. They sniggered stupidly. Then the boy spotted Tidus and the others.
"And look, he's got a couple of freaks with him!"
Harry stood up and clenched his fist. "Get out Malfoy." He hissed.
Tidus couldn't help it. He burst out laughing.
"You-your name is MALFOY?! Oh man that's rich!"
"Shut up!" Malfoy ordered. His face was turning red, "Besides my real name is Draco!"
There was silence. Then everyone in the compartment burst out laughing. Even Crabbe and Goyle chuckled.
"Geez what were your parents drinking the day that they named you?!" Wakka exclaimed clutching his side before he fell to the ground laughing.
Everyone was rolling on the floor laughing when a loud 'BANG!' stopped them. Everybody shut up. Malfoy had fired a curse into the air.
Tidus climbed back into his seat next to Yuna still sniggering.
"I said get out." Harry snapped to Malfoy.
"No, we've eaten all our food and it appears you still have some." He gestured towards a large pile of Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
"Well maybe if dumb and dumber back there hadn't eaten it all you'd still have some and they wouldn't be so fat." Tidus remarked.
"Crabbe, deal with this idiot." Malfoy ordered. Crabbe lunged at Tidus but he stepped aside and Crabbe rammed his head into the wall. Goyle ran at Wakka but he just took out his blitzball and smacked him over the head and knocked him out. Malfoy yanked out his wand and started to mutter a curse.
The next thing Malfoy knew he was being shoved against the wall and had Tidus's sword at his throat.
"Please don't hurt me." Malfoy squeaked. Tidus smiled and lowered him to the ground still clutching the front of his shirt.
"I was only joking with you," He said sternly, "But next time you sick your little bodyguards on us it won't be a joke. Got it?" Malfoy nodded quickly. Tidus released him.
"Now get out of here before I change my mind."
Malfoy ran out into the hall still whimpering. Lulu looked down at the unconscious Crabbe and Goyle.
"Let's move them out into the hall, they don't add much to the décor."
With all their strength Tidus and Wakka dragged them out into the hall and left them there.
Ron was silent. He had a strange look on his face.
"Ron?" Wakka asked.
"Don't say anything to me," Ron whispered.
"Sorry." Tidus gulped.
"BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!" Ron cried happily, "Man you guys totally pounded Malfoy! Where'd you learn to fight like that?"
Tidus smiled. "You pick it up when you become a guardian."
"It looks like we're coming up to the castle." Hermione said looking out the window.
"Let me see." Tidus said pushing past her. He stuck his head out the window and gasped.
In the distance was the largest most beautiful castle he'd ever seen. It had towers so high that they seemed to touch to clouds. There was light sparkling from inside the windows. It seemed to be brimming with magic.
"It's beautiful." Yuna whispered.
"It's required that you have an owl." Hagrid had explained when buying it. Yuna had been overjoyed and named it Juno.
"What are these machina?" Wakka asked looking at the trains.
"He means machines." Tidus explained when he saw the puzzled look on Hagrid's face.
