Chapter Nine:
Platform 9-3/4
(Hagrid and Harry are at King's Cross Train Station. Harry has all of his stuff and is ready for school. There is a man and woman who pass Hagrid and Harry and are staring at Hagrid.)
Hagrid:
What are you looking at?
(Hagrid takes out his pocket watch.)
Hagrid:
Is that the time!? Sorry, Harry, I've got to go. Dumbledore will be want the Stone...
(Harry looks at Hagrid, puzzled.)
Hagrid:
Shouldn't have told you that. Um...He'll really be wanting to see ME. Your train leaves in 10 minutes and you will be wanting to go back the way you are going now because we are really messed up.
(In the real King's Cross Station to get to Platform 9 and 10 you have to go the opposite way Harry is going right now.)
Here's your ticket. Stick to your ticket, Harry, it's very important. Stick to your ticket.
(Hagrid hands Harry the ticket. Harry looks at it. It says Platform 9 3/4.)
Harry:
But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says platform 9 3/4. There's no such thing, is there?
(Harry looks up to Hagrid but sees that's he's disappeared. He's all alone, there's no one there besides him. He's all alone, there's no one to derive him...but he's gotta have friends. Ahem, yes...He walks to platform 9 and 10. He has no idea where to go so he thinks asking the little helper guy for help will do some good.)
Harry:
Excuse me. Excuse me!
(The little helper guy turns to him.)
Harry:
Can you tell me where I can find platform 9 3/4?
Little Helper Guy:
Platform 9 3/4?
(He pauses to think about this)
Sure! Right this way.
(Harry is a little surprised and follows the man. She sees some people in front of them who seem to be going where he is.)
Lady:
It's the same every year! Packed with Muggles.
Owl/Ginny:
Meow. (Harry now sees that they are a wizardry family.)
Harry:
Thank you, but I think I can take it from here.
(Harry follows the wizardry family. There is a lady with a little girl and 4 brothers. One oldest one, two twins, and the youngest one.)
Lady:
All right, Percy, you first.
(The oldest one steps forward with all of his things and runs straight at the pillar and just steps right in...without anyone else noticing...not hitting anyone.)
Lady:
Alright, Fred, you next.
Second Twin:
He's not Fred, I am.
First Twin:
Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother.
Lady:
Oh, I'm sorry, George.
("George" walks over to get ready to run in.)
"George":
I'm only joking. I am Fred.
(Right after he says that he makes a run for it. With George right behind him. After the twins go in Harry steps up.)
Harry:
Excuse me, but how do you...
Lady:
Get onto the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well.
(Harry looks over at Ron and sees a very dirty kid about the same age as him. He smiles and nods.)
Lady:
Ok, now all you've got to do it walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best to run if you're nervous,
Little Girl with Lady:
Good luck...
(The little girl looks like she about to start screaming.)
Little Girl:
WHY ARE THOSE MY ONLY LINES? IT'S NOT FAIR! I WANT MORE LINES THAN THAT! I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA!!!
(Two men in white outfits come out and grab the girl and she keeps kicking and screaming. They put her in the back of a van and drive off. Harry walks over toward the platform, looks at it, then begins to run. As soon as he is about to get on the platform he runs into someone.)
Harry:
I am so sorry!
Man:
WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU ALMOST RAN INTO THE PILLAR!
Harry:
Oh, yes, how clumsy of me...ha ha ha...
(The man walks away and Harry picks up what he has dropped. He backs up and runs into the pillar. He reaches the other side, thankful to be alive, and turns around the corner. He sees a huge train with steam billowing out of it. It is labeled: "The Hogwarts Express". Harry is very stunned by this fascinating train. He looks over at the sign and sees: "9 3/4 Hogwarts Express" written on a sign.)
