Harry Potter? That name clicked into Ron's head, but he didn't know what it
clicked. He just knew that that name sounded familiar. He could remember
his brothers talking about it once when he was little, his oldest brothers,
Bill and Charlie. They were talking in excited whispers one night. Ron was
just one, back then, but he could remember. Only brief blurs of it. He
could remember that everyone was happy...everyone. He didn't even know why
everyone was happy. He was just sitting in his crib, and his brothers were
whispering outside his door about someone named Harry. Harry Potter.
Ron grinned. "Nice to know your name, Harry." Ron said. Harry looked confused for a moment, but the next instant, he was grinning from ear to ear. "Sorry about that. I was thinking about-" "No need to tell me, mate. I'm not even that interested myself. Before you came in, I was thinking about-" "No need to tell me, mate." Harry said. Ron laughed. He felt hungry, so he pulled out the sandwich his mum made him that morning. "For you to eat on the train, Ronnie!" She said briskly when she had handed it to him. He looked down at the sandwich. Ergh. Not one to bring on his appetite strongly. He looked up at Harry. Harry didn't seem to have any food at all. "Hey, where's your food?" Ron asked. "Oh, uh it's.........." Harry trailed off, looking at the floor. "Don't have any, do you?" Ron asked. He already knew the answer. Harry knew Ron knew too. "No problem, you can have some of mine." Ron said. He took his sandwich out of the plastic wrapping and broke it in two. He handed one to Harry, and waited for him to take a bite. Harry smiled weakly at Ron, and was about to take a bite of the sandwich, when someone opened the door. It was a rather friendly looking, plump lady leaning against a snack bar cart. "Any snacks, dears?" She asked. Ron glanced at the cart. Chocolate Frogs! DAMN! He wish had some sickles to spend, then maybe he could get more cards......but he didn't have any money!
"Sorry, I've got my...er...snack" said Ron, holding up his bit of the sandwich. He waited for Harry to say the same thing, but Harry was looking for something in his pocket. Then the remarkable happened. He pulled out a bunch of sickles, knuts and gallons. "We'll take whatever you've got!" said Harry, handing over his money. The snack bar lady smiled and started taking out all kinds of snacks to put into their compartments. As the snacks piled onto Harry's lap, Ron's eyes got wider. He was speechless. Harry said he didn't have any snacks! Stupid me, thought Ron.
Soon, the snack bar lady left and Harry and Ron sat in a silence. Harry didn't eat a bite of his snacks. Ron wanted to know why....he was a bit pissed off at Harry, actually. He wanted to see Harry take a bite of his snacks, while Ron just had his bit of the sandwich. Harry finally broke the silence."What is wrong with you? I can't eat all of this stuff on my own. Almost all of this stuff, I don't know what it is...stop being a bloody git and eat these with me." said Harry.
Ron grinned and walked to the other side of the compartment. " I thought you didn't have any snacks." said Ron. "I didn't. My cousins didn't give me anything. They're hoping I was going to starve, probably." "Oh. Right." "Did you think I was going to eat these all by myself?" Now Ron felt really stupid. Harry was contradicting him now. "Uh......" Harry laughed. "I'll take that as a yes." "Yeah." Harry held up the box of Chocolate Frogs. " What are these?" Ron took the box of Chocolate Frogs. "This is the snack you'll be eating the rest of your life."
And so the famous friendship between Potter and Weasley began.
