Hey here is chapter 5 hope you all like please R&R! CodeRomance

Early the next morning, Harry was loading his trunk into the car that Mr. Weasley had gotten from the Ministry of Magic. That was where he worked. Mr. Weasley said that with so many children going to Hogwarts, the Ministry had decided he could use one of the official Ministry vehicles. Everyone had gotten up early, a little too early for some, to head to the train station. There were loads to do before hand, according to Mrs. Weasley. Apparently Ron forgot to pack everything in his trunk, and Ginny took forever to get up. She gets grumpy when woken up too early and six is too early!

"Muuum! Its too early to leave!" complained Ginny as everyone settled into the car.

"Now dear, we have to beat morning traffic. You know how long it takes us to get to the station. And we have an extra passenger." Mrs. Weasley murmured, "We have to make sure there is enough time to get there."

"Ugg alright Mum." Ginny sighed. She looked at Harry and smiled groggily. Fred and George snickered. Ginny glared at them.

"Our little sister's in love!" they sang. Harry blushed and Ginny glared at them.

She growled, "If you two don't shut it this instant then you will be blasted from here to oblivion. I do know how to do the Bat Boggy Hex! Bill taught me!" she threatened.

The twins swallowed, actually looking nervous.

"Ginny…" her mother warned.

"They started it," mumbled Ginny.

Mrs. Weasley smiled at Harry. "So dear are you excited to be starting school?" she asked.

"Well, yes I am. I am just glad to get away from my aunt and uncle. It will be nice to spend time away from them." Harry murmured.

"Why ever, dear? I am sure they are lovely people." Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Mother, they are hardly nice people at all," Ginny rumbled, "they are liars-"

"Ginny, it's ok," Harry muttered, he looked at Mrs. Weasley. "They just aren't very nice people, ma'am. We don't get along and they don't like wizards. I didn't even know I was one until Ginny told me and then my letter came."

"Well why ever not? Why didn't they tell you?" Mrs. Weasley seemed disturbed.

"I don't know why they don't like wizards, and they never told me because they wanted to beat it out of me so I wouldn't be able to do magic. Though Hagrid, told me I couldn't get rid of it. So even if they wanted to it wouldn't matter." Harry smiled sadly.

"Oh my," Mrs. Weasley looked horrified. "Beat it out of you!"

The rest of the car journey was quiet. The twins were huddled together whispering about something or another, Percy had his nose in a book, Ron seemed to be in a daze still, though he did talk to Harry about several things, and Ginny just stared out the window with occasional glance at Harry. Finally they arrived at Kings Cross Station.

"Well we're here." Said Mr. Weasley.

"Come on lets go!" Mrs. Weasley bustled everyone out of the car. "The train leaves in 20 minutes!"

"Twenty minutes!" Ginny exclaimed. "But we left an hour and forty minutes ago. It can't have taken that long to get here!"

"I told you Ginny, that's why we got up so early and why we left so early. London traffic it horrendous! Now come on dears, let's go, let's go!"

Everybody grabbed their trucks and owl cages, for those who had them anyway. Ginny had a pigmy puff, while Ron had a cage for his rat. Fred and George didn't have anything and Percy had his own owl. They all hurried off into the station. As they came to platforms 9 and 10, Harry looked around for 9 ¾, but could not see it.

He prodded Ginny in the side. "Ginny, where is the platform? I don't see it."

Ginny giggled, "Oh Harry muggles can't see it, it's in between 9 and 10. Watch how it's done."

"Percy you first, straight at the barrier." Mrs. Weasley said. "Fred, George, you next. That's right."

Harry gasped as he saw Percy, Fred and George disappear through the barrier. "How did they-?"

Ginny laughed, "Magic, Harry! Come on its our turn."

"Ron, Ginny, Harry, lets go right on through." Mrs. Weasley ordered.

"Are you coming Harry?" Ron asked. "We don't want to be late!" he smiled. Ginny grabbed his hand and Harry's. They went through the barrier and before Harry knew it he was staring at a red and golden train. It was magnificent. Harry had never seen anything like it before.

"This is amazing!" Harry exclaimed. "I have never seen anything like it in my life!"

"It is pretty awesome, isn't it?" Ron grinned.

"Just wait until you see Hogwarts!" said Fred.

"Yeah then what will you think is more amazing, Hogwarts or Ginny!" George laughed.

Harry blushed while Ginny scowled at them. The train whistle blew.

"Come on, on the train. Fred, George, grab Harry trunk. Your father has already got the others on. Come on now, don't dottle." Mrs. Weasley called. "Ginny come give me a hug." Ginny gave her mum a hug and told her that it would be all right.

"It's alright Mum, nothing's gonna happen." Ginny smiled into her mum's stomach.

"I know, dear," Mrs. Weasley sighed. "But you're my baby and I was supposed to have one more year with you."

"I know, Mum but this way is better because then I won't be alone. Instead I'll have my brothers, which is what I am used to. I won't be lonely. Try not to worry, though I know you will. Love you and see you as Christmas." Ginny smiled and pulled away from her mum.

"Goodbye dear," Mrs. Weasley blinked away her tears. Everyone else gathered around for a hug. Harry hung back from the group, not wanting to intrude on the family time. "Harry, dear, come here." Harry looked surprised but he went and gave Mrs. Weasley a hug. It felt nice. No one had ever given him a hug, at least not since he could remember.

After everyone hugged Mrs. Weasley they hopped on the train just has the whistle was blowing and the train started to pull away.

"Goodbye!" yelled Mrs. Weasley as she waved to her children and Harry. They all waved back. They headed through the train looking for an empty compartment. Fred and George headed off to find their friends, while Percy was already with the other prefects in the prefect compartment. That left Harry, Ron and Ginny to find a compartment to for them selves.

"Here's an empty one." Ron said. They all piled into it. Ginny sat down and pulled out a book. "Would you like to play exploding snap?"

Harry looked at Ron and asked, "What's that?"

"You don't know exploding snap?" Ron asked incredulously.

"Ron, Harry has lived with muggles his entire life. He won't know what that is." Ginny said not looking up from her book.

"Oh, I guess not." Ron looked disappointed, then he perked up, "Oh well never mind, I'll just teach how to play! So how about it?"

"Alright, sounds fun. Now how do you play?" Harry asked, excited. Ginny rolled her eyes. Boys, she thought.

About thirty minutes later a bushy haired girl and round-faced boy knocked on the compartment and the door slid open. "Have either of you seen toad? This boy here has lost him. Oh by the way I am Hermione and this here is Neville." The busy haired girl called Hermione asked.

"Um, have we seen a toad?" Ron looked around at Harry and Ginny.

"Don't think so," replied Harry.

"Nope haven't seen one." Ginny smiled up at Hermione.

"Oh well ok," Hermione looked down at Ginny. She noticed the book in her hand. "Oh what are you reading? Is it a schoolbook? I have practically read all of the ones we got for school. Hogwarts: A History has some fascinating information in it."

Ginny looked at Hermione, "Sorry, it's a romance. A muggle one at that."

"Oh really? What's the title?" Hermione sat down next to Ginny. "I'm a muggle born. I love to read just about anything, even romance. Maybe I've read it."

"It's called the Scottish Bride, by Catherine Coulter. It's historical, that's one of the reasons I am reading it. Takes place in Ancient Britain."

"Yes I have read that one! Isn't just wonderful! It's one of my favorites." Hermione smiled. Her and Ginny started going on and talking about the book and several others."

"Girls," mumbled Ron. "Want to sit down, Neville? I'm sure your toad will turn up."

"Well I suppose." Neville sat down.

"I'm Ron Weasley, and this Harry Potter." Ron said.

"Harry Potter! Wow!" Neville looked at Harry in awe. Then he sobered up.

"Want to play?" Harry asked.

"What are you playing?" Neville asked.

"Exploding snap. It's my first time playing it." Harry smiled.

"Oh that sounds like fun but I'm not very good at it," Neville smiled sheepishly.

"Never mind, neither am I. Ron, here, has been beating my butt the whole time. It will be nice to play someone who isn't as good, like me!" Harry grinned.

"Well, alright." Neville sighed.

For the next thirty minutes Hermione and Ginny talked about all sorts of books, while Harry, Ron, and Neville played exploding snap. Not long after the lunch trolley went by did three boys come into the compartment. The tallest had greasy blond hair and seemed a bit rude. The other two were a bit pudgy and tall as well.

"So it is true," the greasy blond said. "Harry Potter really is coming to Hogwarts." He looked at the other in the compartment. "Let's see, a Weasley, a Weasley, a pudgy boy, and a buck tooth, bushy haired girl. If you can call her that." The boy laughed. He looked at Harry. "Come on Potter, you can do better then that. The Weasley's here are the poorest wizards ever and they are mudblood traitors. Don't know bout these two," he pointed to Hermione and Neville, "but if looks could kill, I'd be dead. Draco Malfoy's the name. This here is Crabb and Goyle."

"Hermione Granger and this here is Neville Longbottom." Hermione stood up to face Malfoy. "I don't appreciate you insulting my friends or me."

"Granger, never heard of, must be a mudblood, and Longbottom, well they're mudblood traitors as well. Really, Potter, I am ashamed." Malfoy laughed. "If you want real friends well, you had best drop this lot. You can come hang with my mates and me in the compartment over there." He pointed to the left.

Harry stood up. "I'm with Hermione, I don't like you insulting my friends, and I think I know who to hang with who not too. I can choose my friends just fine."

"You'll be sorry, Potter, you will be." Malfoy sneered and headed out the door.

"I don't think I will, Malfoy. You just watch yourself." Harry nodded.

"Is that a threat, Potter?"

"No, just a warning."

With that and they were gone. "Well that was certainly unpleasant," murmured Ginny.

"Yes it was." Hermione looked at her watch, "Oh dear look at the time! We have to put our robes on! Come on Ginny, let's leave the boys to get dressed." Hermione pulled Ginny up and out of the compartment. The boys got dressed and then the girls came back in with their robes on. They all took a seat by the window, looking out at the scenery. Hogwarts was just coming up over the hill as the train slowed down. Harry was amazed at Hogwarts. Fred and George were right, Hogwarts was amazing, even better then the Hogwarts express. Harry couldn't wait to see the whole thing and he couldn't wait to see Hagrid again. Yes, school was definetly going to be interesting.
