Harry Weasley

Chapter Three: Train Ride and Welcoming Feast

The Weasley clan all piled through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 onto platform 9 3/4 towards the Hogwart's express. They all said there good byes to Mr and Mrs. Weasley before boarding the train. Once aboard, Ron and Harry said good bye to the twins and Percy before going and finding there own compartment. The older Weasley's didn't want to hang around with there younger siblings, so they left them on there own accord to find a compartment. When they found an empty one, they took there stuff in, and sat down. They were talking when the lunch trolley lady came in asking if they wanted anything, and Harry bought a bit of everything for them to snack on while on there train ride.

"Excuse me, have either of you two seen a frog come in here?" A bushy haired girl came in asking them.

"Nope, sorry. Why has someone lost there frog?" Ron asked her.

"Yes a boy named Neville, lost his toad Trevor and can't find him. Names Hermoine Granger by the way, may I ask yours?" She came in and sat down offering her hand to the boys friendly enough.

"Ron Weasley, and this is my brother Harry."

Hermoine looked at the two of them with a bit of concentration. "You two don't look alike, are you sure your brothers? Sorry if I sound forward, but you two look nothing alike."

"No problem with that Hermoine. The Weasley's adopted me when I was one years old, and my parents were killed by Voldemort." Harry had a ready smile for the young lady, and a twinkle in his emerald green eyes.

"Did you say that your parent's were killed by Voldemort when you were a baby? What was your last name before you were adopted Harry?" Hermoine was interested in finding out whether or not this was who she thought it was.

"Before you ask, yes I was Harry Potter before I was adopted. I also know that I am famous for defeating the dark lord when I was one, and surviving the killing curse. It still is a pleasure to meet you Hermoine, maybe we can be friends." Harry smiled and shook her hand.

"Really, I don't have many friends. I am muggle born, and don't know much about the wizardring world. I have read all I can of course, but it can't be a substitute for what you can learn growing up in the world. So what house do you think your going to be in? I hope that I'm in Ravenclaw, because there the ones with all the people that like knowledge above all else. If not them I want to be put in Gryffindor, there the house of the brave and honorable students. Actually I don't really care, as long as I'm not put in Slytherinn." Hermoine had a pretty smile and Harry and Ron thought that they would be good friends.

"You don't have to worry about that mudblood. Slytherinn will never allow one such as you into it's house." A blonde haired boy was standing in the doorway with two of the biggest boys standing behind him. "My name is Draco Malfoy, and these two are my friends Crabbe and Goyle. I had heard that the famous Harry Potter was going to start school here this year. Why don't you come with us, and be one of my friends, instead of hanging with the mudblood and the muggle lover?" Draco sneered as he said this.

"I know who my friends are, and it's definitely not going to be you. Now you can leave me and my family alone, along with our new friend." Harry was standing at that time, and was about to punch Draco, when Percy came in behind them.

"What's going on here? There isn't to be fighting on the train. Harry, what is going on." He looked at his younger siblings with a bit of worry.

"Nothing Percy, this person was just about to leave if he knew what was good for him. He had just insulted one of our new friends, and I was just going to show him some respect." Harry smiled at his brother as he said this. Percy was one of his favorite older brothers, even tho he loved them all.

"Yes we were just about to leave. Just remember this Weasley's, watch which side you hook up with in this war. If you hook up with the wrong side, you will end up hurt. Come on Crabbe and Goyle, we don't want to soil ourselves with these people." They turned and brushed past Percy quite rudely, which got them a uncharacteristic scowl from the older boy.

"Well as long as you two aren't getting into trouble before we even get to the school." Turning to the young lady, Percy put on one of his smiles and introduced himself. "Hello there, I'm one of these two's three older brothers that are at Hogwart's this year, Percy Weasley at your service, Gryffindor 5th year prefect." He bowed, and kissed her hand.

Hermoine giggled as he said this. "Hermoine Granger at your service sir. It is nice to meet you. You said there are two others on the train with you all. Who may the other two be if I may ask?"

"That would be us, Fred and George Weasley ma'am. It is a pleasure to meet you also. It is nice that our younger brothers have made such a pretty friend before they even got to school." The twins walked in right after Percy and bowed to Hermoine also.

Hermoine blushed at this and thanked them for there compliment. Fred, George and Percy left shortly after that, and the other three talked for the rest of the way to the school. They told each other about there lives so far and what there families were like. When they were close to the school, they changed into there school robes, and rode the boats to the school.

As they went into the school, they saw many different sites that brought different oohs and awes from the different 1st years. When they were called into the great hall for there sorting, they all walked in behind the older lady that had a stern but kind face.

The sorting hat was sat on the stool and started singing his sorting song. When it was done, the whole school went wild.

"Welcome to the sorting of the new students for the new year. Now if you would kindly come up to the stool when I call your name, you will be sorted into your house."

"Abbot, Hannah. Hufflepuff"

"Bones, Susan. Hufflepuff"

"Crabbe, Vincent. Slytherinn"

"Finnegan, Seamus. Gryffindor"

"Finch-Flechley, Justin. Hufflepuff"

"Goyle, Gregory. Slytherinn"

"Granger, Hermoine. Griffyndor"

"Longbottom, Neville. Griffyndor"

"Malfoy, Draco. Slytherinn"

"Parkinson, Pansy. Slytherinn"

"Patil, Padma. Ravenclaw"

"Patil, Pavarti. Griffyndor"

"Weasley, Harry. Griffyndor"

"Weasley, Ronald. Griffyndor"

After the last of them were sorted, the great hall went up in eruption of applause, and professor Dumbledore raised his hand to quiet the hall. "Yes yes, thank you and welcome to Hogwart's new students. I have a few beginning of terms announcements before we eat. First off, the corridor on the third floor is off limits at the cost of your life possibly. Second, the forbidden forest is forbidden of course. Third, Mr. Finch has a list of products that are forbidden in the halls including magic between classes. Fourth, Hogsmeade weekends are for only those third year and above that have permission slips signed by there parents or guardians. With that said, dig in." There plates in front of them filled with many foods and drinks in front of them. They dug in and ate til there hearts content. Once they all were done eating, Dumbledore told all the prefects to take the students to there dorms and have a good nights sleep.

The Griffyndors followed Percy and the female prefect up through the hallways and stairs to the fat ladys portrait and to the entrance. When they went through the portrait, they were told that the boys were up the stairs to the right, and the girls to the left. There stuff was already in there rooms and that they were to go to bed and get rested tonight. Ron and Harry said good night to Hermoine and there brothers on there way up to there dorm where they slept good that night.
