Summery: Harry is 11 years old and waiting for the next week to go by before he can go to Hogwarts. James is still alive, but Lilly died protecting Harry. Everything is all peachy until a small 11 year old boy wonders into godrics hallow with no memory of who he is or where he is from.

Characters: eventual harry/draco, Hermione/Ron, James/Sirius, snape/remus/, ginny/nevile

Warnings: some Hermione and Ron bashing, and Ginny hating. Slash which means Manxman sex. Don't like don't read!!!!

Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine cause if they were Harry would not end with Ginny! Not that I don't like her I just don't like them together! ^^ now on with the show!!!

By the way italicized words means thought

A/N just a quick few polls I want to get out of the way before I get to close to the actual event in the story. 1: What house should Draco end up in? All house's are up for grab, but I just cant seem to make up my mind.

2: Special Thanks to Attagrl for bringing this to my attention. I was a late bloomer and I didn't have my first kiss till I was 15 (sad right? lol). So what age do you guys think a first kiss is appropriate. Obviously no sex, I wont even go there lol but as for the relationship between Harry and Draco getting stronger I was contemplating weather or not to put it in. So PLEASE let me know what you guys think on these two problems! Thanks!

Chapter 8

That's a Big Train

Just five day's later Harry and Draco were busy packing up the rest of their things. Harry and Draco were both nervous to begin a whole new adventure but Happy that they would have each other to experience it. They had gotten together once more with Hermione and Draco and her hit it off right away. After they had come back from Diagon Ally Draco instantly opened his new copy of Hogwarts, A History and hadn't put it down until he had finished it. Not that Harry minded brainy friends, but he just thought it was weird. Why would you want to sit in all day when you could be listening to music or playing Quidditch. But Harry left him alone while he was reading, preferring to spend some time alone to gather his thoughts.

He was not nervous before but the closer and closer they got to actually leaving the faster his heart beat and faster still did the butterflies fly in his stomach. He was worried that he would somehow disappoint his father's. What if he ended up in Slytherin? Or worse Hufflepuff. Not that they were bad houses, well Hufflepuff at least, but his whole family before him had been in Gryffindor. Sirius had caught him one night sitting in the backyard on the tired swing sulking.

"Harry? You alright?" Harry looked up and nodded. Sirius smirked and cam up behind him and started to push him like he hadn't done sense he was younger. "You don't seem alright."

Harry smiled feeling the wind in his hair. "I'm just worried."

"About what?"

"School."

Sirius caught the tire swing and exclaimed. "What?! My little lion cub afraid of school?" Sirius laughed but stopped when he noticed Harry wasn't. Situating the swing back to its original place and came around to kneel in front of him. "Cub?"

Harry sighed. "What if I let you down? What if the Hat puts me in Slytherin? I would let you all down. You, Dad. . . Draco."

Sirius lifted Harry's chin with his finger. "You know we wouldn't care no matter what. All we want is for you to get an education. And why would Draco care? I have a feeling that that boy would follow you to the ends of the earth like a little duckling."

Harry giggled. "Don't let Draco here you call him a duckling."

Sirius laughed. "It will be our secret. Now do you feel better?" Harry nodded. "Good now lets go watch that muggle movie you like so much."

Harry gasped. "Lion King?!?"

"Sure." Sirius grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him into the house. They were then joined James and a sleepy Draco, who ended up falling asleep with his head in Harry's Lap. Sirius smiled knowingly and tilted his head. He wondered if his eyes were twinkling or not. He would have to ask Dumbledore.

*****

Harry and Draco stepped up to the wall between Platform Nine and Ten. Draco looked at Harry nervously. "Wanna go first." He asked.

Harry shook his head. "No you can go first."

"No its okay, you can go." Draco said shaking his head.

"Boys, one of you go or we will push you." Sirius said laughing.

Harry gulped and looked at Draco. Turning back to the wall Harry to a few steps and then broke into a run. He closed his eyes and braced himself for a crash that never came. He opened his eyes and halted to a stop. Before him was the train that would take him to the most magical place in the wizarding world; Hogwarts. He heard a gasp right next to him and turned to see Draco staring wide eyed at the train.

"That's a big train." he whispered.

Harry laughed and turned around to see his parents. He smiled. "Are you coming on the train with us?"

"No Harry, we are going to apparate there, but we will see you at the feast. You have fun on the train. Its one of the best parts of going to Hogwarts." James said. He leaned down and gave Harry and Draco hugs goodbye, Draco's not as long however.

Sirius came up to Harry and knelt on one knee while James was handing on of the train attendants the boys bags. He gave Harry a hug and slipped a roll of parchment. "Put it in your cloak hurry. This will be our little secrete okay?"

Harry nodded with a furrowed brow. "But what's it for?" he whispered.

Sirius chuckled and held in at arms length. "If your ever lost just tap it with your wand and say I Solemnly swear I am up to no good. But be sure that when your finished with it you tap it and say mischief managed. Got it?" Harry nodded and behind them the train let out a whistle. "Now go on and have fun. Love ya kiddo." Sirius stood up and watched as Draco grabbed Harry's hand and they both ran off to the train. They jumped on and disappeared.

Sirius turned to James who had a stern look on his face. "What?" He asked innocently.

James started at him sternly for a few seconds before breaking out into a grin. Throwing his arm around his lover he said, "Let hope they have as much fun as we did."

Sirius laughed. "I don't know what your talking about."

James' mouth dropped. Laughing he pulled Sirius into a head lock.

*****

Harry and Draco walked down the isle looking for a empty compartment. Going into one he instantly blushed and walked back out after seeing a couple kissing in it. Him and Draco looked at each other with wide eyes and kept walking. Finally finding one they slipped in and closed the door. "Well that was a adventure." Draco chuckled nervously.

Harry laughed back. "Yeah. Wanna play some chess?"

Draco nodded and soon they were engrossed into a intense game. Then a knock came at the door. Harry frowned at Draco then opened it. There stood a tall gangly red head. "Can I hide in here?" he asked looking around nervously.

"Uh, sure?" Harry stepped aside letting the red head in.

He ran inside and hastily shut the door behind him. "Oh thank you! My brothers are after me, trying to get me to eat something they made. I don't know. They are always pulling pranks. Anyways my name's Ron. Ron Weasley." He held out his hand.

Harry grabbed his hand tightly. "Harry Potter."

Harry saw Ron's eyes widen considerably. "As in the Harry Potter?" Ron asked and Harry inwardly groaned.

"Yeah, that's me." Harry looked away and his eyes landed on Draco. "Uh, this is my friend, Draco."

Ron's eyes narrowed. "Malfoy? Draco Malfoy? I thought you and your death eater parents were dead." Laughing Ron turned back to Harry. "You do know who this is right? I don't think its safe for you to be sharing a compartment with him. Come on I'll brave my brothers to save you." Ron chuckled. "Just think, I'm saving Harry Potter. Wait till I owl my little sister." Ron turned to leave but stopped when he noticed Harry wasn't fallowing. "You coming?" He asked titling his head.

Harry frowned and looked back at Draco. The boy was trying to hold back his unshed tears, but failed when one flipped through. Harry's heart clenched, his Angel was sad. And Ron had caused it. Turning back at Ron he glared.

Ron wasn't paying attention only to Draco and his silent tears. Ron started laughing. "Awe is the baby gonna cry? Is the poor baby death eater sad?" He suckled and sneered. "Fag." And before the red head could turn and walk out Harry sent a punch right to his nose.

*****

A/N I know that this is incredibly short but it felt like a good place to end. PLUS I wanted to get this out ASAP so I could get your answers on the Polls I put at the beginning. And I know Ron is OOC but so is Draco and Harry. Things will get better, at some point, but right now I wanted to focus on building Harry's relationship with Draco a bit more, as well as Sirius. So please let me know 1 what house Draco should be in and 2 if you think they are still to young to have a first kiss ^^ thanks!
