Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

Finally September 1st came. Harry had been waiting for this day all summer. He had poured over his textbooks, fascinated by all of the things he would be able to do. He had named his owl Hedwig after a name he found in his History of Magic textbook.

They drove to King's Cross and James told Harry how to get through the barrier onto the platform. Harry had to admit, he though he would crash. But when he opened his eyes, it was to see a bright red steam engine in front of him. His dad picked up his trunk and put it on the train, along with Hedwig.

Harry found and empty compartment and made himself comfortable. He leaned out the window to wave to his parents and little sister and saw the Kat was running down beside the train and waving until they turned the corner.

A little while into the ride, a boy with red hair and dirt on his nose came in the compartment and sais timidly "Do you mind? Everywhere else is full" Of course, Harry didn't mind and said so and the boy sat down. He introduced himself as Ron Weasley and was amazed when he realized who Harry was. They talked for awhile about amny things like Quidditch and the sort.

Around midday, a plump old witch came by with a cart full of sweets. Ron said he alreasy had somethings, but Harry gave up all the galleons his dad gave him earlier for the candy on the cart. The rest of the ride was filled with dares to eat the new flavor of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and comparing what chocolate frog card they got. A little while later a bushy haired girl came along and asked about a toad. When they replied no she said, "Oh, by the way, I'm Hermione Granger. And you?"

"Ron Weasley.'

"Harry Potter"

"You're Harry Potter? I've read about you. I'm Muggle born, so I didn't know anything until I got my letter. I'm really worried about the sorting though. I want to be Gryffindor, or maybe Ravewnclaw, I don't know though. I've read up on all my books in case its some sort of test or something. Well, I expect you should get your robes on. We're almost there. Nice meeting you, bye." And with that, Hermione left.

"Wow. She's a talker." Ron said.

"Oh yeah."

When they got to Hogwarts, Harry heard a familiar voice saying "Firs' Years! Firs' Years over here!" Harry ran over to Hagrid and found out they would be crossing the Black Lake to get to Hogwarts. Harry was in a boat with Ron and a boy named Neville who had lost his toad.

When they arrived a stern looking witch who Harry knew by his father's description to be Professor McGonagall told them what would happen. Harry was only half listening to what she was saying. He knew what to do, his mother had told him. He was worried about the houses. What if he wasn't in Gryffindor? He couldn't bear to think of what his dad would say.

"Harry Potter" His name was being called. He was so nervous he didn't realize that the entire Great Hall broke out in whispers. The Sorting Hat was placed on his head and immediately said " Ah! How interesting. Plenty of courage…not a bad mind…cunning…where to put you."

"Please not Slytherin. Not Slytherin." Harry muttered

"Not Slytherin? You would be great there…lots of power…no? ok then… better be GRYFFINDOR!" Harry was relieved. The entire Gryffindor table erupted in cheers to have the famous Harry Potter in their house. Neville, Ron and Hermione Granger were also in Gryffindor.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Hogwarts is been great. I'm in Gryffindor, as is my new best friend Ron Weasley. We had potions class and I don't think the teacher, Professer Snape, likes me very much. And guess what happened on Halloween? A troll got in and tried to attack this girl Hermione Granger but Ron and I stopped it and Ron knocked it out with its own club. Isn't that cool? And guess what?. We had flying lessons and this boy Draco Malfoy took Neville Longbottom's remeberall. I followed him up in the air and he threw it. I dove after it and caught it. Professor McGonagall came out and told me to come with her. I thought I was in trouble but she got the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and told him she found a Seeker! Dumbledore said he would bend the first-years-aren't-allowed-to-have-brooms rule for me, so can you send my broom? Thanks!

Love,

Harry

"What! He battled a troll?" Lily couldn't believe that her son would be so stupid to battle a mountain troll. Even if he did manage to knock it out!

"But look! He made the Quidditch team! A seeker, just like me!" James said proudly. "I think we should get him the Nimbus Two Thousand."

"Okay, we'll give his old Comet to Kat I guess…but a troll!"

"That;s not as bad as Snivellus."

"James!"

"Sorry Lils, I mean Snape" Lily just rolled her eyes at her husband and continued to make dinner.

Ever since the troll event, Hermione had become a friend of Harry and Ron's. They had many adventures since then, one including finding a three headed dog on top of a trap door. They later found out this dog was Hagrid's, it's name was Fluffy and it had something to do with Nicholas Flamel.

One night Harry took the Invisiblity Cloak his Dad gave him when he was nine and went into the Restricted section of the library. He ran into Filch along the way though. He ducked into a room with a fabulous mirror in it. He looked at the engravings on the top at realized that if you read it backwards it read I show not your face but your heart's desire. Harry thought that was interesting. He looked into the mirror and saw…

A/N I think I'll leave it there…leave you to ponder what Harry sees in the mirror if he has his parents…
