(Harry's pov)

It was now September First and I stood on the platform with the Malfoy's as Draco and I greeted Blaise and Pansy.

We bid the adults farewell and boarded the train, going to the compartment we shared last year.

We settled in for long ride to the magical school, as we waited for Daphne and Tracey. The girls finally entered and the end of summer talk began.

Daphne began with how excited Astoria was to begin her Hogwarts education. She had told that her parents had to even take her wand away when she tried to to do a spell, only to end up breaking a priceless vase. Her mother was able to repair it, but she scolded the excited 11 year old about how dangerous it is to use her wand when she hasn't been taught how to yet.

Tracey told us about her vacation to Magical Switzerland. She talked all the museums she went to and about the culture there.

Pansy begin with how her mother had just had twins, a girl they named Alaina and a boy named Darren. Apparently, the Parkinson's had been trying for another child for years but had been unsuccessful until now.

Blaise told us of his mother's new boyfriend, who was much nicer to him than the last one was.

I sat at the breakfast table,calmly watching the chaos that is my brothers rushing to pack. In one corner I could hear the twins argue about which one was supposed to grab their pranks, while Percy was searching high and low for his Prefect badge. Ron was running through the house in search of his pet rat.

It was finally time for us to go with barely ten minutes to go before the train leaves.

I was looking forward to my first year in school. I also had big plans this year to make sure Harry knows he is mine, and to make that Slytherin girl know that he is off limits.

It was decided that Mum and Dad were going on to the platform first, with Percy behind them, and the twins after that. Ron and I were to get on after the twins.

We ran just as we always had, but instead of running through the wall like we had expected, we hit the barrier, causing a lot of ruckus as random muggles came over to make sure we were ok and to see what happened.

"Lost control of the trolley." I stated before my idiot before could say anything. We got back up and looked at the clock. It was 11, and we missed the train.

"Do you suppose Mum and Dad will be able to get back through the barrier Ron?" I asked quietly.

"I don't know Gin. I wonder why the barrier closed on us though."

"The twins maybe?"

"Nah. They'd pull a lot of pranks, but I don't think they would close the barrier on us, if they are even able to." He looked around before his face lit up. "Come on Ginny. I have an idea." He told me as he rushed off.

"Ron! Wait up!" I called out as I ran after him, before losing him in the crowd of muggles. I paused, fear creeping up my spine. I was alone, in a sea of muggles. My parents were still on the platform, no doubt worried about us. Ron was nowhere in sight. I nearly screamed when a man in uniform came up to me.

"Are you lost miss?" He asked. I looked him over. By the way he was dressed, and the badge on his uniform, I figured that he was a muggle auror. I nodded and he took me towards platform 9 3/4 which apparently was in the same direction as what he called the 'lost and found'.

"Ginny! There you are!" I heard from right behind us. I turned.

"Mum! Dad!" I ran back to my parents. Hugging Mum as Dad thanked the man who had found me. After he walked away Mum demanded to know why Ron and I didn't show up on the platform.

I explained how Ron and I tried, but the barrier seemed to have been closed, then I explained that Ron ran off and I tried to catch up to him but lost him in the crowd. Finally finishing off with the explanation of the muggle auror.

We went outside, Mum talking about how she was going to scold Ron for running off instead of waiting for them, and for leaving me alone in the muggle world.

"Oh no." Mum and I heard from in front of us. We stopped next to Dad, staring at the empty spot that had been where we parked.

We were about halfway to Hogwarts and the conversation had died down. Now most of us was just doing our own things to pass the time.

Daphne and Tracey was talking about something in one corner of the compartment. Pansy was reading a gossip magazine. Blaise and I were looking over our new school books, and Draco was just staring out the window.

"Check this out!" Draco exclaimed suddenly. "Some idiot is flying a car by the train." We all watched as the car tried to pull up to the locomotive.

"Isn't that the Weasel?" Daphne asked.

"Yeah, what is the idiot thinking? Flying that thing all the way to school." Blaise replied.

"You mean he can think?" I asked incredulously. Everyone laughed.

"You're right Harry. But do you suppose he's trying to get your attention?" Draco asked.

"Maybe this is his idea of getting you to hang out with him this year!" Pansy smirked.

"Harry look at me! Look at the fun we could have if you hung out with me instead of those slimy snakes!" Blaise stated, doing a poor imitation of the baby boy weasel. Everyone chuckled as I glared at the Italian boy.

"I can't wait to see Weasley get in trouble." Draco smirked.

"I hope he gets expelled." I replied.

"Well he should, for something so stupid, so...Gryffindor." Daphne replied.

"Yeah, especially since he's probably exposed our world to the muggles!" Pansy exclaimed. I nodded, knowing just what kind of reactions muggles could have at anything 'abnormal'.

We spent the rest of the trip debating on how Weasley would be punished when he got to Hogwarts.
