Chapter 3

Kings cross

From that moment on everything made sense. Emotions and memories unfolded, the reason why my night mares were filled with a womens voice screaming, "Don't kill Harry take me instead." , and a deep voice laughing and saying, "Stand aside girl."

The horror of those nightmares were explained with clarity.

"Harry? Harry? Are you alright?" Hagrid was waving his hand in front of my face with a worried expression, I guess he noticed how horrified my expression became.

"Hagrid, I am fine." I said moving his hand.

Alex's P.O.V

I thought about the moment with Harry, even though he was thin and had wild black hair. He was attractive and nice. I doodled in my notebook, waiting for the sun to rise and it finally for it to be time to go to king's cross, then I could get away from this boring life.

I pulled out the history of magic by Bathilda Bagshot and started reading. Normally I would find history a snooze but the wizard version was much interesting, though I highly doubt I will do well in the class at Hogwarts, since I always manage to fall asleep during lectures.

I was engrossed so much that by the time the sun rose I had already finished the book. Wow, I am becoming a nerd!

At about 10 o'clock a ruff voice rang from down stairs, "Alex Russo, it is time to go."

I rushed down stairs, trunk and all, carrying a basket that contained my cat, that I had bought for myself, Ginger. As the name implied it was a tabby cat, cute as button.

When I arrived downstairs Harry accompanied by a tall, hairy man stood in the door way.

"Why, hello I am Hagrid, you met me the day before. I am here to take you to king's cross." He greeted smiling.

"Okay, well I am going to say good bye to my family, I will be right back." I said and walked in the opposite direction towards my family.

Harry's POV

I stared at Alex, jealousy pulsing through my veins. She had a family, she was just a muggle-born thats why she never knew. She hasn't been through the trial and torture I went through.

On the other hand, I shouldn't get so jealous everyone I meet is probably not an orphan, unlike me.

She hugged her family and waved good bye, then we were off.

Alex's POV

"Okay, I'll let yeh off here. SO you both have your tickets right?" Hagrid asked.

"Yup." Harry and I chirped.

Harry's POV

We went downstairs and wondered through a crowd of people. Finally reaching the plat form, I looked between 9 and 10 there was no 9 and ¾ . This was confusing. I walked over to a station man and decided to ask him.

"Do you know where platform 9 and ¾ is?" I asked.

"Very funny kid, no go back to your mom." The station man said and walked off.

Then I turned and saw Alex with a family of red heads, I walked over to them.

"Hello." I remarked shyly.

"Why hello, Alex here just explained your situation. Never, knew Dumbledore not to tell anyone how to get there," said the chubby mother shaking her head. "Well, follow us."

I followed them over to the wall dividing plat forms 9 and 10. Then I saw one of the redhead boys, belonging to a pair of twins, run through the wall cart and all. After everyone had gone, except me, Alex and the youngest boy of the redheaded family, it was my turn, I ran through the wall and appeared in a new platform, greeted by the horn tooted by the Hogwarts express.

Alex and other boy appeared shortly and we walked on the train. Looking for a compartment, we found one right at the back.
