Lizzie at Hogwarts

Chapter 4- Train Ride to Introductions

A/N: Hey guys and girls. I think I'm going to enjoy writing this chapter. I had a hard time thinking about the last chapter. Now that my writer's block is temporary gone, I can write this chapter and maybe the next one. So wish me luck. Enjoy.

"Dad, how the heck are we going to go on something called Platform 9 ¾. I mean c'mon. There's a nine and a ten, but I don't see and 9 ¾'s anywhere." Lizzie and her friends were pushing their trolleys around.

"Don't worry about it Lizzie. All you have to do is run through platforms 9 and 10. It's simple. If your nervous than I would do it in a bit of a jog/run." Sam McGuire said gesturing towards the two platforms.

"If you say so. Ok, who wants to go first?" Lizzie said looking at her friends.

"I will. I'll show you how it goes. Than Lizzie, Gordo, than Miranda. Miranda your mom will be coming right after." with that said, Sam McGuire walked through platforms 9 and 10 and disappeared. Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo gasped at the sight.

"I guess it's your turn Lizzie." Gordo said swaying his arms towards the portal. Lizzie took a deep breath and pushed her trolley. Her eagle owl, Bubo, was clicking in its cage. Her dad had gotten it for her as a good luck gift. It didn't really make Lizzie feel less nervous, but it made her feel a little better.

When Gordo went his frog almost jumped out of Gordo's grip. Lucky for Gordo, he was able to catch him before he got smashed by another trolley.

Miranda was up next until Miranda's mom came up to her. "Miranda, wait I have a pet for you." Miranda looked over to her mom; her mom pulled out a small brown rat, and held it close to her.

"Eww...mom. That's a rat." Miranda said waving her hands in disgust.

"Of course it is" Miranda's mom said in a duh-don't-you-think-know- that voice.

"Why can't I have Dimpsy? I've gotten use to him." Miranda said pouting.

"'Because we might need it when we have to owl you. Besides, I'm sure Lizzie will be happy to share her owl with you. So say hi to your new pet, Renegade." She stuffed the Renegade in to Miranda's hands and shooed her to the platform.

Miranda groaned. When she got to the other side she saw that Lizzie and Gordo looked board to death.

"What took you so long? We've been waiting for like fifteen minutes already." Gordo said looking down at his muggle watch. Miranda rolled her eyes.

"Gordo relax, my mom just wanted to give me a going away pet. Besides we have twenty minutes. Sheesh, why are you so excited? Does it have anything to do with Hermione?" Miranda said jabbing Gordo in the elbow.

"I h-have n-no idea what you're talking a-about." Gordo stuttered.

"Sure, Gordo. You keep telling yourself that." Mirada said, rolling her eyes at him.

"Ok. Stop picking on me and let's get our stuff in a compartment." Gordo said. They looked for a spot. When they got to a compartment, there was kid already there. He had messy jet-black hair and thick round glasses. Lizzie could have sworn she saw a scar on his forehead, but didn't make too much of it. She touched her own scar that was under her sleeve.

"Hi can we sit here?" Lizzie said rubbing her scar.

"Um...yeah. No problem. My name's Harry Potter. What's yours?"

"Lizzie."

"David, but you can call me Gordo."

"Miranda."

"Hi. So do you want to sit down?" Harry said gesturing to the seats.

"Yeah thanks." For the remaining five minutes before the train would leave the station, the talked, that is until a redheaded came by.

"Hullo. Can I sit here; I have no where else to sit?" The young freckled boy asked.

"Sure." Harry said.

"My name's Ron by the way. Ron Weasley." Ron said smiling.

"Harry, Harry Potter." Ron's eyes went wide slightly.

"Lizzie McGuire." Lizzie said, as Ron's jaw hung ever so slightly.

"Miranda Sanchez." Ron was now gaping.

"David Gordon..." Ron's mouth closed and sighed. "...but you can call me Gordo." Gordo finished. Now Ron's mouth was fully open and his eyes were wide as saucers.

"Bloody Hell, you guys are famous. Harry survived you-know-who, and you guys faced the unspoken." Ron said hardly believing in what he said.

For about the half of the train ride they talked about how their first day at Hogwarts was going to be.

"Hey I have a pet toad, want to see?" Gordo said beaming.

"Gordo no one wants to see that!" Lizzie hissed. Just than the door opened, while Gordo took out his pet frog, Norman. There in the doorway stood Hermione. Gordo looked up and almost let go of Norman.

"Oh hi, Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda. Is that Trevor? A boy named Neville Longbottom lost his toad." Hermione said bending over taking the toad out of Gordo's hand. Gordo blushed at the sudden touch.

"Umm...no. That's Norman." Gordo said, flushed.

"Oh." Hermione said sadly as she handed the toad back to its original owner. She looked over to Ron who was holding Scabbers. "Hello, what are your names?" Hermione said still looking at Ron, but meaning both him and Harry.

"Ron, Ron Weasley." Ron said smiling a toothy grin at her. She smiled back and blushed at his smile. Ron being the thick-headed boy that he is didn't notice it, but continued smiling.

"Harry, Harry Potter." He said also smiling but not the way Ron did, it was more like a pleasant smile. Hermione returned the smile. She looked back at Ron. This time Ron seemed to notice and made a funny face. In a good way of course. Hermione giggled at his gesture, but Gordo just simply scowled at the red head.

"Hermione, Hermione Granger. It's nice to meet the famous Harry Potter. I've read about you in a book. Well I have to go, and look for Trevor. You lot better get in your robes. We should be arriving soon." Hermione turned and closed the compartment door and walked away. Gordo sighed while he put Trevor back into his pant pocket.

"Gordo are you ok?" Lizzie said waving a hand in front of him.

"Yeah." Gordo said in a dreamy voice.

"I think someone has a crush." Miranda said in a sing-song voice.

"Am not." Gordo said glaring at his friend.

"We better get into our robes, like Hermione advised us." Harry said trying to stop his new friends from quarrelling.

(Twenty minutes later)

They got dressed and sat in the compartment they were originally in. Hermione had joined them and sat next to Ron. Gordo took the seat right next to her. Lizzie, Miranda, and Harry were on the opposite side of them. The rest of the ride went on from then till they got to their new school.

A/N: So once again let's recap. The LMG (We all know what that is now right?) well they met the future Golden Trio. Gordo seems to be jealous of Hermione seeming to have a small crush on Ron. Ron being a clueless boy hadn't realized she was blushing when he smiled at her. What holds for our LGM and FGT (Future Golden Trio)? Don't worry I'll stop calling them that after a couple chapters.
