Today was the day. The day Harry left. Emma had been hugging him a lot over the past month. But today she gave him the biggest hug she could.
"Stay safe Harry." She said pulling away.
"Don't forget to write to me if the Dursley's step out of line." Harry responded as he packed a few last things into his trunk.
"Write to me as soon as you can tonight." Emma said Handing Harry things of the bed. "Learn as much as you can for me." Harry closed his trunk and gave Emma one last hug before emma helped Harry pull the oversized trunk down the stairs and put it into the car.
"Come on get in the car." Came the gruff voice of Uncle Vernon. Harry climbed in and so did Dudley and Aunt Petunia. Emma was staying home alone for the first time in her life and all she could think was: I wish Harry was gonna be here for this.
Emma walked into the house and went to the kitchen. She started to find little bags of food hidden everywhere and took them up to her room. Aunt Petunia would just think that Dudley had started snacking again. She then went up to her room and started to read the books Harry had gotten her.
"Good Luck." Uncle Vernon said as he got back in the car and drove away. Harry made his way into the station and went towards platform 9. He passed it expecting to find Platform 9 3/4. It wasn't there. He kept walking back and forth between Platforms 9 and 10. He even asked a ticket collector who said that there was no Platform 9 3/4.
"Come on now what was the platform name again?" Came a female voice.
"9 and 3/4." Chirped a small voice.
"Alright now this way." Came the female voice again. Harry moved towards it. Soon he was standing in front of a motherly woman with bright red hair.
"Um... excuse me I was looking for Platform 9 3/4." Harry asked her.
"Oh dear you just go straight through that wall there to get to the Platform. I'm Mrs. Weasley by the way." Mrs Weasley was not an unkind woman. But she had this plan to feed thousands. To end world Hunger. So when she saw this skinny as a twig child she wanted to help. "I have a son going into first as well. But Fred and George can help you get your trunk onto the train Dear." She finished and she gestured for her twins to run through the wall. They did but they disappeared into the wall instead of running into it.
"Thank you." Harry said before turning towards the wall and running at it with his eyes closed tightly. When he opened his eyes again he was standing in front of a Scarlet red train.
"Wingardium Leveosia." Emma said moving her hand around to the spell. She hadn't expected anything to happen but was disappointed when nothing did. "Wingardium Leveosia." She tried again this time the book in front of her floated up about a foot before falling.
Harry had boarded the train and was siting in a compartment all by himself when the door slid open. A red head boy was standing there.
"Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." He asked.
"Yeah." Harry said and the red headed boy sat down across from him.
"My names Ron Weasley." Ron said.
"Mine's Harry Potter." Harry said.
"The Harry Potter. Do you have the.. you know.. the scar?" Ron asked he was shocked.
Harry lifted up his bangs and Ron gaped at the lightning bolt scar.
Emma continued reading. She stopped saying the spells out loud for the Dursley's were home. But she did the movement and said the enchantment in her head.
They had arrived at Hogwarts and Harry was happy to see Hagrid was the one taking them the rest of the way to Hogwarts. They clambered onto boats and passed across a river. Harry was in a boat with Ron, Hermione a girl he had met on the train, and Nevile a boy who had lost his toad.
"Head's Down." Yelled Hagrid as they passed through a wall of Ivy. They then reached a rocky shore and stepped of off their boats. Hagrid led them to the Doors of Hogwarts and the he opened them they saw a stern looking woman in green robes.
"Thank you Hagrid, I've got it from here." She said and Hagrid left. "Hello students I am Professor McGonnagal. I am a Professor hear and Head of Gryffindor House. In just a moment you will be Sorted into a House. There is Gryffindor Hufflepuff Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The house you are in will be like your family here at Hogwarts. The things you do right will earn you house points and any bad behavior will result in points lost. At the end of the year the house with the most points will win the house cup."
Emma was downstairs. The dursley's had demanded she make dinner and she was. She was making Meatloaf and after setting the table and putting the food on the table she cut herself a nice big piece and ate it all.
It was Harry's turn to be sorted. He stepped up and sat down on the stool. He had one last glimpse at the great hall before the hat dropped over his eyes.
"Hmm curious very very curious." The hat said in Harry's head.
Emma started reading a different book now. "Magical Drafts and Potions." She opened it to page one and started to read about the theory of potions.
"GRYFFINDOR" The hat shouted into the hall. The table cheered and Harry went to sit down at Gryffindor table. The rest of the sorting went by Kinda fast. Ron Hermione and Neville all also got into Gryffindor and Percy, Rons older brother, showed them the way to the house and showed them their dorms. Harry instantly wrote a letter and when Ron tried to read it he hid it from him.
Harry tied his letter to Hedwigs leg and she flew out the window towards Emma.
