Romance/Angst.
Year 1
After Harry's family had dropped him off at the station, the eleven year old looked around, trying to find 'Platform 9 ¾.' He asked an assistant who thought he was just joking around, you know. Harry was desperate. He looked between 9 and 10 and couldn't find anything. He looked at the clock. 5 minutes to 9 it said.
"Same Every year. Packed with muggles, of course. Come on! 9 ¾ this way!"
Harry heard 'muggles' and '9 ¾' and followed the voice. It was a plump woman with red hair and five children. Harry watched in awe as three of the kids ran straight into the wall and vanished!
"Excuse me, ma'am. How do I- I…"
"Get on the platform? Yes, run straight at the wall. Don't worry. You'll be fine. It's Ron's first year at Hogwarts as well. Go on." She gestured to a boy who was still there. The other child was a girl, also with fiery red hair.
All of a sudden, Harry was overcome with feelings. He couldn't understand why. If he tore his eyes away from this girl, awful, terrible things would happen…
He was torn from his trance when the girl noticed the scar on his forehead. "Oh my god! You are Harry Potter, aren't you?" She seemed so excited, Harry felt excited as well, though, yet again, he couldn't explain why. "My names Ginny Weasley! Nice to meet you!"
Harry shook her hand, which was so soft and nice. He felt the sudden impulse to do something dramatic. He said in a forced nice voice, "Nice to meet you, Ginny. Yes, you are right. My name is Harry Potter."
Harry swiveled his cart around, and sprinted into the wall as fast as he could. He couldn't dawdle any longer staring at Ginny Weasley. The train was going to leave in 2 minutes, and he had to get on. He rolled his baggage on board and found an empty compartment, went in, and sat down.
After a few minutes, the train started gaining speed, and Harry saw Ginny chasing the train. There was a knock on the door. Harry looked through the glass and saw Ginny's brother, Ron, looking at him pleadingly.
"Do you mind if I join you? Everywhere else is full."
"Sure, go ahead." Harry looked through the window again, but only to find that the station and Ginny were gone. Harry sighed as he turned around to find Ron staring disgustedly at something wrapped in plastic. It looked to be a sandwich. Harry heard Ron mumble something about hating corned beef.
"So. Would you like to get acquainted?" Harry asked.
Ron nodded and stuck his sandwich back into his bag. "I'm Ron Weasley. You're Harry Potter. We have established that. So. Which house do you think you'll end up in?"
Harry remembered his meeting with that albino boy. "Hufflepuff." He mumbled.
"Ah. I'll probably end up in Gryffindor. Just like all the rest of my family."
There was a knock, and Harry opened the door to find a lady with a trolly. After the door closed, the compartment was full of candies. Ron was explaining them to Harry.
There was yet another knock, after which a girl with bushy brown hair walked in. "Hi, has anyone seen a toad?" She stopped when seeing Ron. She was instantly hooked. As was he.
Harry didn't understand why they were so quiet. "No, we haven't seen a toad."
The girl tore her eyes from Ron and spied Harry's scar. "You're Harry Potter? Such a pleasure to meet you!" She turned to Ron. "And who are you?"
Ron swallowed his candy and said, "Won Reasley."
Harry laughed. "Funny, Ron. Its pronounced 'Ron Weasley.'"
The girl sat down next to Ron. "I'm Hermione Granger. You guys should put on your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." She stood and strode out of the room quickly.
Ron continued to stare in her direction. Harry suddenly understood. Ron and Hermione experienced 'Love at first sight.' Holy shit. Does this mean… Harry and Ginny? "Love at first sight?"
The year went like it did in the book from there. Except with more frustration from Harry not seeing Ginny, and Ron and Hermione staring at each other all the time.
