5. Hogwarts Express

They both stood there thinking what to do next, time was running, they didn't know how to get to the platform nine and three quarters,

"We should've asked Hagrid" I said miserably

"Yeah, I didn't know, I should've checked ticket the moment he gave me, I'm sorry" said harry desperately

"It's not your fault, it's our" I said, then I stood up "let's ask people around here,"

"Let's give it a try" said Harry, they approached a station master, asked him " Sir, can you please tell us where is platform number nine and three quarters??"

The man looked at us for a second then said " kids do not prank with me, I've a lot of work to do" then started talking to another man.

"I don't think muggle knows" I said

"Yes" snorted Harry, then we heard something which sounded awfully similar

"this place is full of muggles once again-

I looked around with my brother, saw a plumpy woman with one young girl, four boys, all had gingery red head and freckles on their faces.

"can't I go, mom??" said the little girl

"No, Ginny you can go next year" said the woman

"percy you go ahead" told the woman to her son, he ran towards something but before I say anything some passerby tourists came in view, then the boy disappeared.

"fred, you go ahead" said the woman

"I'm George, Honestly you call yourself our mother" said a boy with red hairs and freckles same as his twins who standing beside him,

"I'm sorry, George, " said the woman

"I was just joking I'm Fred," said the boy, and off he gone, the boy must have said hurry up to his other twin as well as he marched after him, and disappeared the same way but still Harry and I weren't able to comprehend so we decided to go ahead and ask

"excuse me,??" said Harry to the plump woman

"Hello dears," said the woman politely "new to Hogwarts, Ron is new too" she pointed at her youngest son, who was tall, had freckles all over his nose and face, with big feet, hands and long nose.

"Yes, actually we don't know, how to get there" I asked

"to the platform right" asked plump woman, we nodded " it's not difficult at all, all you have to do is walk through that wall between nine and ten platforms, if you are nervous you can run and you can go before Ron,"

We both looked at each other, then tightly grabbed our trollies and started running towards the barrier together, it felt like foolish we both knew we were going to get badly injured but with my eyes closed I ran, then I didn't stumble or anything it felt like nothing was there at all, when I opened my eyes and saw around me it was better than anything, there were a lot of other Students like us on platform , one train was standing with great red steaming engine, written Hogwarts express, I felt chills..

" you push and I'll get it on train okay" I said to Harry, he nodded then we tried to get our trunks on train but we failed it was too heavy," then one of the twins appeared out of nowhere behind me "need some help firsties"

"We sure do" I said

"Oi Georgie come here" shouted the boy, his twin came running and asked "why so loud"

"because it's time to workout" said the boy

They both got both of the trunks on train, in doing so one of them finally noticed the scar, "are you??"

"what" said Harry, confused

"Harry Potter?" Fred and George asked together

"oh, him" said Harry "yes, I'm this and she is my sister Emma potter"

"Glad to meet you both" said both of the twins together

Finally they found an empty compartment, they sat opposite each other, they saw all the red head together outside on platform, they were able to hear them,

"Mom, Do you know what, Harry Potter is on train" said fred

"mom, can I go on train and see him" said the little girl hopefully

"no Ginny, he is not something to see in zoo, he is just a kid," said the mother "And you two hear me clearly do not tease the kid at all, give him his privacy he has been through a lot already don't go asking him stupid questions, by the way, how do you know he is him "

Harry felt a bit affection towards her

" we saw the scar, he is with his sister, wears specs and all" said George

"mum, the boy you helped" said the little girl, her mother nodded

"percy take care of yourself this year" said the plump woman to her eldest son,

"yes, mum I'm just going to my prefect cart, we are going to have meeting" said Percy

"you are a prefect " said Fred sarcastically

"we didn't know that" said Georg

"thanks" said fred

"for telling us" said George

"one second" said fred

"you already told us" said George

"A million times" said Fred

Percy said bye to her mother and sister then left, Plump woman rounded twins once again and said "no complaints this year, Do not break any toilet seat or anything stupid and let look after Ron"

"we never broke toilet seats" said George

"great idea by the way" said Fred " And we will take care of our little ickle,-ronikins", all three brothers boarded the train, when train started moving, the little girl started running with it half crying, half laughing as her twin brothers promised her sending toilet seat this Christmas.

"Excuse me," said Ron, "all the other compartments are full, do you mind if I join,??"

I looked at my brother and he said "it's fine"

The red head joined us, he was looking out of the window but we knew what he was thinking, Then he asked my brother nervously, "are you Harry Potter"

"Yes, I'm harry Potter and she is my sister Emma potter," said Harry

"Woah" said Ron amazed, but then he asked one more awkward question , "do you really have" and pointed at his forehead, I mentally sighed. Harry showed him his scar, and Ron said " Amazing" and after a moment he realised how awkward it was, so he once again started looking out of window.

After some moments Harry asked him, so "it must be interesting having three older brothers,??"

Ron seemed surprised by the question then answered "actually I've five brothers and one sister, two have completed their studies, they have accomplished so many things in past, my eldest brother Bill, was head boy and then Charlie was Quidditch team captain then, Percy is a prefect, then my twin brothers are pranksters they make people laugh but still are able to get good marks then there is me, I don't know, what I'm going to do but even if I do it doesn't matter, because they already have done those things, you never get new things either with so many brothers, I've got Bill's old robes, Charlie's wand and Percy's old rat, his name is Scabbers"

He pulled out a grey old rat, with some brown patches on it, it looked almost dead, " this is good for nothing rat, Percy got a new owl as he became prefect this year So dad gifted him and couldn't aff—so I got this instead"

After that Ron stopped talking and started looking out of the window once again maybe he thought, he has spoken too much, or he was ashamed of not able to afford, one month ago we were not able to buy anything so, before that we have never bought anything, there is nothing in being ashamed of that, again her brother voiced her thoughts, that's what cheered Ron up but the moment Harry brought Voldemort topic, he was shocked and impressed as Harry was saying his name, then Harry told him we don't know anything about wizarding community, so he cheered up us by saying everyone's going to be like us so not to worry. After sometime a old woman came with a trolley and trolley was loaded with different kind of products which Harry and I have never seen before so we jumped the moment she said "anything off the trolley" but Ron said "no thanks, I already got a sandwich"

"Are you thinking the same" I asked my brother and he nodded

"we will take the lot" I said and we purchased a lot of things , our compartment was full of things we have never seen before or even heard of"

"Oh no, she once again made me a corned beef, she knows I don't like it" said Ron irritatingly

"I like it, swap with me" said Harry while giving him sweets

"don't kid with me" said Ron

"I never" said Harry and grabbed the sandwich

After sometime everyone forgot about sandwiches , they were eating whatever sweets, chocolate frog card, whatever they had, through that talked a lot, and ate a lot, it was sunset outside in hills, then someone came a round faced boy, who looked nervous and frightened of everything, he was just looking for his toad, then Ron tried to show us some magic, apparently his brother taught him something for making his rat useful but before we found out, again the same boy came back but with a girl, whose hair were busy, her front teeth were somewhat larger,her name was Hermione Granger she was also looking for Neville's toad but she seemed more than that as she literally made Ron uncomfortable with her talks, when they were gone we had our last visitors

who came in the apartment like they owned the train, it was the same guy who they meet in madam malkin's shop, with two minions looming over him.

"So it's true then, Harry Potter is in this compartment" said The blone hair, pale face guy, with a smirk.

"What do you want" asked Harry

"Nothing I'm just here to introduce myself, my name is Draco Malfoy," said Draco, Ron tried to hide his Snickers at the name but didn't do a good job.

"my name seems weird to you, I don't even have to ask you your name, you must be a Weasley, my father told me about you lot, red head, freckles, hand me down cloths" said Draco vehemently

Ron ears went pink and he looked like he was going to strangle Malfoy,

"I still don't get it, why you are here" I said, "if it's about introductions, then my name is Emma Watson this is my elder brother Harry Potter, this is Mr. Ron Weasley, now can you please complete your previous statement"

"Okay, I'm Draco Malfoy this is my friend Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, he pointed out his two Dudley like friends" said Draco, " and I was here to just help you lot with making friends, you don't want to befriend wrong sort"

"I can tell myself what is wrong sort of friends for me" said Harry

"I'd be a bit careful if I were you potter" said Draco with a smirk " unless you're a bit politer you will go the same way as your parents, they didn't know what was good for them either, you hang around riffraff like Weasleys and Hagrid, it will Rub off on you"

Both Harry and Ron stood up, but they didn't know emma was faster she was holding her wand in front of Draco and said "never in your dreams say anything about my parents" but Draco laughed "you think you can do magic,"

"I know but he can" I threw scabbers on Draco, Draco horrifyingly, stepped aside the same moment and the rat landed on Goyle hand, and it bit him on his finger, as Goyle yelped , Draco and Crabbe ran away followed by Goyle as he threw Scabbers aside.

"What the hell" said Ron amazingly "you used the useless rat"

"You shouldn't have done that," said Harry "you could've hurt yourself"

"But I didn't , you two yourselves were going to pick up a fight so I kind of won" I said

"in starting you were composed when did you learn all this introduction matters stuff" enquired Harry

"never, it's just when I read books, so I picked some stuffs from there" I said proudly

"but then you lost it all in the end" said Harry

"he got our parents in it" I said " I'm not listening a word against them"
