Platform 9¾ to Hogwarts

Ami, Heero, Duo, Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre met Harry and Hermione just outside of platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in London at 930am on September the first, so they could go to school. "Good morning, all" Hermione said, seeing everyone approaching; "Now all you do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Just follow Harry and I'll follow all of you and make sure everyone gets through then we can figure out somewhere to sit on the train."

Everyone nodded, and Harry started toward the barrier that separated the magical and muggle sections of King's Cross Station. Once he had disappeared through the barrier Ami and Heero went and disappeared through the barrier as well. Followed by the rest of the group in pairs of two, followed by Hermione last.

On platform 9¾ the group of eight quickly made their way to the train and found a compartment near the end of the train, where they quickly stored their trunks and sat down in order to enjoy the journey. Once the train started moving Ami asked, "Harry, I know you stayed with Hermione and her parents after you started helping us, but what about when you were younger or even before staying with Hermione?"

With a sigh Harry answered, "Well after our parents were murdered, I was sent to live with our Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley, in Little Whinging, Surrey. Until eleven I stayed there, during holiday breaks I've stayed at Hogwarts, and during the summer I stay with them and then with friends for the end of summer. What about you?"

Ami snuggled closer to Heero before answering softly, "Several places we haven't really bee able to stay in one place for long periods, but there was a time when I was younger that I stayed in the colonies but mostly it's been on Earth."

Heero pulled Ami close before saying, "It's been a long time since we all go to be children, this option of going to school hasn't been an option, so we will have to do some adjusting to be able to have adults watching over us and our actions. Hopefully this will be good for us. The closest any of us come to this arrangement is Quatre and Ami who have their older sisters who keep an eye on them."

"Harry, I know this is mostly personal but well we just wanted to know if there is any reason that you're living with your aunt and uncle, and well if they treat you okay." Quatre said.

"Ummm…as far as I know they were my only living relatives so I had to go stay with them. Well…if I tell you all you have to promise to just leave the situation alone." Harry said.

Hermione smiled as said, "I promise, but then again there's not much I can do for you."

"We make no promises, as I know that depending on your answer or not that Quatre and Ami have been plotting and it has been around you, as far as I am concerned I am staying out of their way and you might as well allow them to do as they will, I find it safer to one's health." Wufei answered with a small laugh and smile.

"I only asked because the answer will determine how we proceed with possibly having you come stay with us, under my sisters watchful eyes. My sisters are concerned and I know that Ami is as well even if she'll never admit to it." Quatre said.

"Fine, so I'm guessing there has already been some guesses into what my home life could possibly be?" Harry started, seeing Quatre's nod he continued, "Dumbledore says that I must stay with them for protection. But it's been fine for the last couple of years with the escape of my godfather, who happens to be innocent. Before going to Hogwarts I stayed in a cupboard under the stairs and well I've always had a lot of chores and I am punished depending on whether my chores are done or not. But if I had a choice I would prefer not to have to stay there at all, but as I told Hermione when I started staying with her I didn't want anything to change because I want no one to get hurt because of me."

"Well then you will not be staying there anymore, we're very well versed in danger and so are our sisters, so I doubt any of us would be in any more danger for taking you in. That and we already know about your godfather, his name's Sirius correct?" Quatre said.

"Yes, but why would you all know?" Harry questions the group.

"He works at our company, he was able to prove his innocence to my sisters and they have had him cleared in the muggle legal system. He has told us much of what he suspected about your home life and we are just making use of that knowledge to help get you out of there and into a place where you can stay with him if you so wish." Quatre answered smiling.

"So you mean I could live with him?" Harry asked smiling.

"Well my sisters will try but there's the whole magical world problem to be solved. But at least in the muggle world it would be possible." Quatre answered.

"Sweet, but I think we should be getting ready it seems we are almost to Hogwarts." Harry said, seeing Hermione agree by nodding her head.

Once everyone had changed into their Hogwarts robes the group's discussion changed to the topic of Hogwarts. "Harry, I know we're going to be going to classes with our houses but I'm worried, I know Professor McGonagall thought that we would all be placed into the same class's year wise but what if they insist that we should be placed with our own year groups? I don't want to be alone," Ami said.

"It'll be okay, Hermione and I discussed what was going to happen considering you all are know everything up to year 5, but the thing is in order to keep you all under Headmaster Dumbledore's radar as much as possible, we have decided to place you all in the correct year group at least to start. We are hopeful that you Ami will be with Quatre, if you are both not in the same house McGonagall will discuss it with your head of houses and will work out a solution with the two of you to make sure you are both in the same classes." Harry answered.

Hermione added, "We understand that you six would prefer to be together but this was the only answer we could come up with that would not put your situation on the Headmaster's desk for approval. We figured you would all prefer not to have that happen this early into the school year."

"Thank-you Hermione, we understand." Wufei answered.

With that the announcement that the train was arriving at the Hogsmead station was heard, leaving their stuff in the compartment, the group of eight disembarked from the train with the rest of the students. Harry and Hermione went off to the carriages that would take them to Hogwarts, while Heero, Ami, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, and Duo head towards the grounds keeper and care of magical creatures teacher to go with the first year students.
