Last Day of Term
It was the day that the students of Hogwarts were making their trip from the Hogwarts Express to London and Harry was in his train compartment talking with Hermione alone as Harry had asked the Weasley twins to keep Ron busy with pranks and things.
Harry asks Hermione "Hey Hermione" said person responds with a "What is it Harry?" Harry replies back "You know how you live in London I was just wondering if you could give me your address and number so that I could come and visit or phone you from my house during the summer and maybe hang out with you if I can get away from my relatives".
Harry says the last part of this sentence with slight malice and hoped that Hermione did not hear it but it now appeared that she did and then frowns asking "Harry how horrible are they?, please tell me cause you know you can trust me to keep secrets for you I promise."
She says the last few parts of her speech with a desperate and pleading tone along with a reassuring look in her eyes that simply shine with warmth and comfort that turns Harry around from not telling her.
So Harry gets up closes and locks the door and then faces Hermione and begins to tell her all about his treatment at the hands of his relatives all the while trying to keep from crumbling into an emotional wreck and failing with all the memories of the starvation of food and love and abuse both physical and mental.
At half way through the journey on the train Harry is hugging Hermione for comfort meanwhile she is silently weeping on his shoulder and angrily thinking of making the Dursley's pay for their treatment of a kind wonderful boy this way who has treated her the past few weeks with kindness and support in school and herself.
From that moment she promises herself to be loyal and helpful to Harry in any way possible and to protect Harry from others, her education and teachers be damned as she will help him and protect Harry from anything
With this in mind she takes Harry's hand and makes him look in her eyes and says "Harry I will be always there for you to talk to or seek comfort or anything else I will not abandon you for anyone."
She says this speech ending with a warm a smile and a kiss on the cheek to finalise her confidence and devotion while blushing at her action along with Harry blushing a bit, but the kiss he was given by Hermione warms Harry's heart and makes him care for her more than ever and after a bit they both collapse into sleep in the compartment with them each beside the other in slumber for the rest of the journey with small smiles on their faces.
King's Cross Station (Platform 9¾)
At the station in Kings Cross the two friends wake up with a deep red blush on their faces as they seem to have snuggled up to each other for warmth with their faces not too close apart from each other.
With his they jump apart from each other and awkwardly grab their trunks and things and make off the train to the platform while looking at each other and looking away when they caught each other's faces both wondering what to say about what had happened in the compartment.
Both kids were thankfully brought out of their thoughts by Hermione's parents who greeted Harry when they walked up to them and Hermione told them who they were and her parents thanked Harry for saving their daughter on Halloween and when they are done talking the Granger family say goodbye to Harry and then go their separate ways but not before Harry waves goodbye to Hermione who still has a blush on her face but is smiling slightly.
Harry is walking near the Weasley family and he gives a nod to Fred and George Weasley who he saw as their own family departs from the Platform with a sullen Ron who Harry guesses wanted to introduce Harry to his family but could not find him thanks to the twins.
When Harry is near the barrier portal-way to the muggle world, Harry quickly whips on his invisibility cloak as he crosses the portal which helps him to hide from his Uncle Vernon who looks like a giant purple Walrus which is quite fitting from the now angry dark plum hued skin tone that he appears to be getting, probably from having to pick Harry up and take him back to their home in Privet Drive.
Harry shakes his head at this as the Headmaster must have sent a letter to his relatives to make them pick Harry up and take him to their abomination of a home but Harry has other ideas as with his trunk and Hedwig's cage shrunk in his pocket, she was flying off somewhere to hunt and find him later on as he let her go on her own way home before Harry was on the train.
Harry sets off from there and takes a journey from Kings Cross Station to the Leaky Cauldron to start his plan off and make his life his own to shape.
