The Weasley's and Harry were packed up and ready to go. Harry's owl, Hedwig, was locked up in a cage.
"Now, everyone, let's all travel through by Apparition to King's Cross. George, Fred, Ron, Harry. Ginny, why don't you stay at home," said Mrs. Weasley.
"Why can't I go?" whined Ginny.
"Oh fine, just grab my hand." said Mrs. Weasley. Harry suddenly felt a pull on his back and his surroundings began to blur. He felt his body compress, as if squeezing life out of him. The feeling disappeared and Harry tumbled onto the ground. They had landed in King's Cross. No one was around them.
"Dear Lord we're particularly early. It's only 10:30; we have half an hour to spare," said Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley conjured a few trolleys out of middair and used her wand to levitate all of the trunks on the ground and put it on the trolleys.
"Where's Percy?" said the twins.
"Percy should be here momentarily." replied Mrs. Weasley. With a pop, another redhead boy appeared out of nowhere. He was already wearing school robes and had a badge that said 'Prefect' on it.
"Mum, I'm here!" said the boy.
"I'm glad you can join us Percy!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley. "Why don't you go first through the entrance?"
Percy pushed his trolley towards the wall between platform 9 and 10 and just when he reached the wall, he disappeared.
"George, why don't you go next?" said Mrs. Weasley at one of the redhead twins.
"I'm actually Fred, mum. Honestly, you call yourself our mother!" said one of the twin.
"Sorry, Fred!" muttered Mrs. Weasley.
"Just kidding, mum, I'm actually George," said George as he zoomed in towards the wall. He also disappeared. His twin soon followed.
"Mum, how do those two get through the wall?" said Harry.
"Just run at the wall, dear," said Mrs. Weasley.
Harry pushed the trolley. He walked towards it, then gaining speed, then finally went full out running towards the wall. He closed his eyes, bracing for impact but it never came. He arrived at the other side. The train had already arrived, smoke billowing from its chutes. Ron soon appeared right beside him.
"Oi, Harry, Ron!" shouted the twins, "Come over here! There's a free compartment over here!" Ron and Harry pushed the trolleys towards them and the twins hefted the trolleys into the compartment. The four of them stepped inside.
"Thank Merlin Mum didn't follow us," said Fred.
"Yeah, I suppose she didn't want Ginny to know what we're up to," laughed George.
The train began to move and they were off.
"Hey, George, I think Lee Jordan got a new tarantula," said Fred.
"Let's go then! See ya Ronniekins!" said the twins and they departed, leaving Ron and Harry alone in the compartment.
"Reckon how we are going to be sorted?," asked Ron, grinning.
"Heard from Fred and George that we have to defeat some sort of troll or something like that and the teachers determine which House they'll be sorted in." replied Harry, thoughtfully.
"But, we haven't learned any magic though!" Ron said glumly. Suddenly the compartment door opened and an old lady's head popped in.
"Anything from the cart dears?" she said.
Harry got up while Ron remained seated.
"Nothing from the cart for me," said Ron. Harry got some silver sickles and returned with an armful of candy.
"Gonna share with my bro, ya know," winked Harry giving some candy to Ron.
"Thanks Harry." grinned Ron, stuffing his mouth with pumpkin pasty.
The compartment door opened once again, grabbing Ron's and Harry's attention.
