Chapter 3: Hogwarts Express
September 1, 2003
"My baby is going off to Hogwarts." Lily said sadly.
"It's ok Lily Lord Zeus and Lord Hermes will look after him as he travels." Sirius said in a reassuring tone.
"I know, but it is my duty as his mother to worry." Lily said as she wiped away a tear.
"Mom I am coming back at Christmas time." Harry said in disgruntled tone.
"I know but I will still miss my little boy." Lily said sadly.
"This is nice but we need to get through the station and onto the platform." Sirius said shaking his head.
As they made their way towards the platform Harry walked close to Sirius and whispered, "Thank you she was starting to make a scene."
"Don't mention it." Sirius whispered back.
"Molly?" Lily asked as she say a red haired woman with five kids standing with her.
The women in question looked towards Lily and said in a worried tone, "Lily where have you been? You had me and Arthur worried sick."
"Dumbledore took us some place safe." Lily said with a lie.
Molly then gave Lily a quick hug. "I will forgive you this time, but please write me more often." Molly said in a sad tone.
"I will Molly; with Lord Hermes and Lady Athena permission." Lily said in a low tone.
"I think they would Lily dear." Molly said calmly.
The two ladies were calm for a minute before they Sirius came to them and asked, "Do you two want to talk some more or come see your kids off?"
Both women looked at each other than a clock seeing that it was almost time for the train to depart. "That's right kids let's go through - wait where are the kids?" Asked a nervous Molly.
"I already took them through." Sirius said in a nonchalant tone.
"Thank you Sirius." Lily said with a hint of sadness. Then in a sad voice she looked at the pillar and said, "James should be here to see Harry off."
Once Lily left Molly asked a little worried, "How is she?"
With a sad smile Sirius said, "She is fine most of the time, except on Halloween."
"I am not surprised." Molly said sadly.
"Well let's get to the Platform and see them off." Sirius said trying to lighten the mood. Sirius and Molly then walked onto the Platform.

Platform 9 3/4
"You ok Harry?" Draco asked with a small smirk.
"Of course I am ok; I'm just waiting for my mom." Harry said calmly.
"Sorry to make you wait Harry." Lily said coming up behind Harry.
"Don't worry mom me and Draco were talking to people." Harry said with a smile.
"That's good to hear." Lily said happily. "So what do you think?" Lily asked as she motioned to the train.
"I hope Lord Hermes accepts our offering for safe passage." Harry said whispering to his mom.
"Lord Hermes accepts everyone Harry remember that." Lily said hugging her son.
Draco looks said as he watched the other kids get hugged by their parents even if they didn't want to. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to find his mother smiling at him. "Mom!" Draco shouted as he hugged his mother tightly.
"You didn't think Sirius would let me miss your first trip to Hogwarts do you." Narcissa said smiling and hugging Draco. For a few second the two just hugged before they heard the train whistle. Narcissa looked a Draco and said, "You are a Black and no one tells us what we can and can't do always remember that." Draco broke away from his mom and nodded. "Good know expect letters from you when you get a chance and I will be seeing you during Christmas break." Narcissa said in a calm tone. Draco just nodded and head towards the train.
When they found a compartment Harry and Draco leaned out the window and waved to their parent as the train pulled out of the station. It had been sometime since they left the station when their compartment door opened to reveal a girl and boy. "Have either of you seen a toad?" The girl asked curiously.
"Neville, did your grandmother got you a toad for getting into Hogwarts didn't she?" Draco asked with a sigh.
"Yeah." Neville said nervously.
"Are you sad that you got it?" Harry asked in a flat tone.
"No because Trevor is a gift form her." Neville said defensively.
"Then you are a good man." Harry said as he stood up and patted Neville on the shoulder. "We will help you look for your wayward toad and return him to you." Harry said with confidence.
"Really?" Neville asked with hope.
"Of course, now here is what we do. You two go double check the places and meet us back here and we will go check the front." Harry said with confidence.
"Thank for helping me I thought Hermione was going to be the only nice person on this train." Neville said in a low scared tone.
"Don't worry Neville, we are nice aren't we Draco." Harry said in a friendly manner.
"I believe we are Harry." Draco responded with a smile. "Though I think we need to watch out for Ron Weasley." Draco said with concern.
"Why?" Hermione asked in a perplexed tone.
"Well you see some people believe that that if someone is born into a dark family they are evil. But if you are friend with someone from a dark family, then you are a traitor to the light." Draco explained in low tone.
"Don't worry Draco the past is the past and your family and friends care for you." Harry said in a solemn tone.
Draco smiled and said, "Thanks Harry."
"We'll let the quest for Trevor the toad begin." Harry said with smile. This caused Draco to shake his head and sigh.

Harry and Draco had been searching the front when a voice said, "So a son of Lord Zeus and Lord Hephaestus are going to Hogwarts."
"If it isn't Blaise Zabini; where have you been this summer?" Harry asked in a chipper tone.
"I spent the time with my mother and new stepfather." Blaise said with a sigh.
"That must have been rough on you." Harry said in a apologetic tone.
Blaise sighed then said, "You have no idea."
Harry looked at Blaise and patted him on the shoulder. "May the gods see you through this." Harry said in a calming.
"They have for the past five times." Blaise said in a nonchalant tone.
"That is true. By the way have you seen a toad hopping about?" Harry asked flatly. Blaise thought about then shook his that he hadn't. "Well thanks anyways." Harry said in a kind tone. Harry and Draco continued to search for the frog until they heard a distressed croak coming from a compartment.
Draco looked in the compartment and sighed. "Just great former friends of mine." Draco said with a hint if disgust.
"You would have to deal with them eventually, if not here then at school." Harry said calmly.
"I know I just don't know how they are going to react." Draco said in a far off tone.
"Hello can I have that frog back please?" Harry asked in a kind tone.
"Why would we something like that?" A cruel voice asked.
"Just return the frog Nott." Draco said angrily.
"The bastard child of the Black family; what are you doing here Draco Black?" Nott asked the last part angrily.
"Going to school to learn and to find my true fathers favor." Draco said calmly.
"What kind of fool is the filth -" Nott started to say before both Harry and Draco tackled Nott.
"Shut your trap never speak of Draco's father in a bad manner or you might find out who he is in a painful way." Harry said in a warning tone.
Nott struggled to get free and said, "Like I would listen to a piece of filth like you."
In the commotion a frog made a break for his owner finally realizing that it might not be safe to hop around other people.
"Come on Harry we need to see where that frog got off to." Draco said as he pulled Harry out of the compartment.
"Harry Draco look Trevor came back to me." Neville said happily as he petted his frog.
"That's good Neville why don't we go back to our compartment and celebrate." Harry said happily.
"Why would we celebrate?" Hermione asked in a surprised tone.
"We returned from a successful quest alive. Why shouldn't we celebrate?" Harry retorted.
"Get into the compartment you odd ball." Draco said with a playful shove. He looked at Neville and Hermione with apologetic look. "Sorry he likes to celebrate a bit to much sometimes." Draco said as the other two fallowed him in.
Draco and Harry both pulled a small urn and burnt some of their sweets to their fathers as thanks; and to Hermes as thanks for safe travel. Hermione wanted to asks why they did that but Neville told her not to ask and not to worry about it. The four sat together for the rest of the train ride talking and eating sweets until a voice said, "/We will be arriving at Hogsmead Station soon please leave everything on the train and be ready for your journey to Hogwarts/."
"We should probably get changed." Hermione said frantically.
"Alright why don't we changed and meet back here with our luggage." Draco said in a kind tone.
Hermione nodded and head out first. "So who are your real fathers?" Neville asked nervously.
"Can't tell you quite yet Neville, but we might someday." Harry said as he gently nudged Neville out of the compartment.

The train had arrived at Hogsmead Station and the students were getting off the train when they heard a booming voice said, "First years this way to the boats, everyone else to the carriages up the path."
"Hagrid!" Harry yelled happily.
"Ah Harry did you have a good trip?" Hagrid asked cheerfully.
"Not bad me and Draco made some friends and met some old friends as well." Harry said cheerfully.
"Well go on to the boats." Hagrid said happy that Harry had made more friends.
When they got to the boat Harry and Draco stepped to the lake and threw a few last pieces of candy into the lake and together said, "Lord Poseidon god of the seas please allow of travel through your domain." They did not get a response but the realized that Poseidon mist have enjoyed their offering because the ride over was very gentle. They reached the castle they stood in front of a pair of giant doors that Hagrid rapped upon.
The door opened to reveal a stern looking woman. "I have brought the first year students Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said in a respectful tone.
"Thank you Hagrid I will thank them from here." McGonagall said in a flat stern tone. She then lead then to a small room and told them to wait for Sorting Ceremony.
"This is going to be so cool." Hermione said happily. "What house do you think you might get into?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Gryffindor." Harry said without a second thought.
"Hufflepuff." Draco said with conviction.
"I hope Gryffindor." Neville said nervously.
"I would like either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Hermione said before they herd loud yelps.
"I wish Lord Hades would do against Peeves." A ghost said as he floated through a wall.
"Sir Nicholas how many times have we you been told that Lord Hades won't do anything to Peeves, because he is only causing trouble for us." Another ghost said with what sounded sigh. When the ghost looked up the ghost saw the new students. "Ah new students about to be sorted, I hope to some of you in my old house Hufflepuff." The ghost said happily.
The ghost left when McGonagall came back for the students. She lead them to a door and knocked. The door opened to reveal a large hall. "Fallow me the Sorting Ceremony is about to start." McGonagall said flatly as she walked in front of the group. Harry, Draco, Hermione, and Neville got into line behind the other students and walked up to the front to await the Sorting into their house.
