Here we meet our favourite plant boy and he tell our main guys a bit about the wizarding world. Harry is also given a book about wizarding families and wouldn't you believe it there's a Potter family. Just so you're aware the book doesn't show if someone is incarcerated just dead or alive. It also won't have the Pettigrew family or the Lupins as they aren't prominent wizarding families, so go easy on Harry a bit here. He's just a young boy full of hope.


He doesn't realise just how much time has passed since the girl entered the carriage until the train starts to get louder, he hears more people passing the carriage they are in, but no one tries to enter. Harry thinks it's going to be just those two for the full length of the journey until just before the train pulls off, a young boy who unlike the girl in the carriage looks overwhelmed just like Harry. He's wearing a pure white shirt that looks like it had just come out of the packet, some black trousers that Harry only really see's businessmen wear, some what could be leather shoes but unlike Uncle Vernon's these shoes don't point at the toes they are flat, he also seems to be wearing robes already. He doesn't think they are his school robes as the badge doesn't match the ones on Harrys; this tells Harry this is a wizard raised boy. He cannot see where the boy's trunk is, and he doesn't seem to be wearing his wand in his pocket like Harry is but then again neither does the young girl in the carriage, maybe it's in their trunks? It isn't until the boy sits down that Harry see's he's holding what looks like a toad and the boy seems to be trying to keep him in his hands, why he doesn't just put him in a box like Harry would he doesn't know. Like the girl he asks whether he can sit in the carriage and Harry is so glad they both used their manner's because he really doesn't want to be making enemies already. He hopes he can see the blonde boy again so that he can apologise to him as he came across really rude and Harry's not stopped thinking about what he would have done differently if he wasn't so overwhelmed.

The train slowly pulls off from Kings Cross and Harry thinks he cannot sit here for however long it takes to get to the school in silence, he doesn't want them to react the same way that the older people in the Leaky did, but he also knows he can't not say his name and he'd prefer to get it over with as early as possible so that he can relax.

"Hi, I'm Harry Potter and this beautiful girl next to me is Hedwig, I don't mean to sound rude but who are you both?" Harry thinks they didn't hear him but then he looks at the other boy in the carriage and sees his mouth wide open and it takes both the other people in the carriage a couple seconds to remember to reply.

"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger, erm I'm a first-generation witch, I'm from Oxfordshire and both my parents are dentist. I'm very excited to be learning magic and a little sad that I didn't find a familiar when I went to get one". She looks really downtrodden at this fact.

"Hi, I'm Heir Neville Francis Longbottom, I come from a long line of witches and wizards which makes me a pureblood, my Uncle Algie was so shocked that I didn't turn out to be a squib that he got me this toad. His name is Trevor, and I am very pleased to meet you Miss Granger and Heir Potter". He is definitely blushing as he says it, but he also says it like he has had it drilled into him to always make himself heard when introducing himself. Although Harry doesn't understand why he's being called Heir anything, surely, he's mistaken. Hermione seems to have tried to hide a laugh in a cough, but it failed as her cough sounded like a bark. He doesn't realise but she's laughing at the look on Harry's face which looks like he's in information overload.

"Er, again I don't mean to sound rude but why did you introduce yourself as Heir and then call me Heir. Also why did you call Hermione Miss Granger?". Although the Dursley's told him to not ask any questions they aren't going to know if he does when he's away from them so he doesn't think he'll get into trouble for it, and he supposed to be here to learn all about magic and the wizarding world and without asking questions he could miss something super important. People seem to know who he is, and he doesn't want to let anyone down especially the memory of his mum and dad. Hagrid said his mum and dad had his name put down since he was born, and he really wants for them to be looking down at him and be proud of him and if that means he's got to ask questions then he will do that; the Dursley's cannot hurt him when he's at Hogwarts.

"Erm well didn't you guardian tell you? You're the last Potter which means you're the only person who could inherit your family's wealth, properties, and vote on the wizengamot. I have a book here in my trunk if you want to look into it. It doesn't cover exactly how much you'll inherit but that you come from an old family or as its' referred to a Most Ancient and Most Noble House. You should have been given the Heir ring when you went to Gringotts on your 11th birthday, they should have given you a statement of your vaults although if they're anything like the Longbottom vaults, you'd only be able to access the trust vault which prevents you from spending all your inheritance. You also should have been asked to assign a proxy who will vote on your behalf until you turn 17. I didn't address Miss Granger by her forename as she didn't give me leave to. In the Wizarding world unless someone explicitly gives you consent you always use their family name and title, there are some families that don't stick to this and will just call you by your first name but that is very frowned upon. To give consent you just say, 'I give you permission to call me' and then what you want them to call you, for example I give you permission to call me Neville and now you both can call me Neville."

"Ok Neville, I give you permission to call me Hermione. Thank you for telling us this I don't want to start on the wrong foot." Harry was still processing but followed shortly by giving both passengers permission for them to call him Harry. There's something he said about a book to which he also asked to see. Putting his own book away, he looks up as Neville hands him the book and he's sure he went to buy this book, but Hagrid said no. Maybe he doesn't understand that Harry can afford it according to Neville. He's really confused as to where Neville's trunk was but it's now by his feet.

The book is so fascinating and eventually there's a knock at the door from a woman asking if they wanted anything from the trolly and whilst Harry was tempted to buy all the sweets he could see, instead he asks for the sandwiches which are absolutely delicious and one version of each sweet just to try them. As fun as it would be to buy just sweets his stomach wouldn't be able to handle it and he doesn't want to get sick. Harry chats to the other two whilst on his lunch break and learns that Neville's raised by his Gran and that those raised in the wizarding world don't go to primary school, they either are taught by their parents, or they have tutors. Neville had a tutor as his gran is very active in the wizengamot and his favourite subject was something called herbology, Harry thinks that just sounds like gardening.

By the time Harry goes to pick the book up again he's just come across his family tree, this is the first time seeing it. He's a little confused as this book says his name is Hadrian James Potter not Harry Potter but maybe his parents use to call him Harry as a nickname and how cool is it that he has his dad's name for his middle name. He sees that his father is what Neville calls a pureblood as up until his mum was introduced his family tree consisted of only witches and wizards, this makes Harry a half-blood. Tracking his family tree back to the beginning he sees that it wasn't always Potter, it actually used to be Peverell, but a female Peverell married a male Potter and now they are called Potter. He finds out his mum's name was Lily Joy Evans before she married, and his dad's name was James Fleamont Potter. He guesses it's a family tradition to have the firstborn take the parents forename as their middle name. They were born 30th January 1960 and 27th March 1960 respectively and they died 31st October 1981 which made Harry exactly 15 months old to the day which his parents died. It's strange for him to be looking at his family tree because he's the only one that doesn't have a red boarder his is gold in his direct line, Neville explains that his is gold as he is alive. Although not directly related to Harry he does see that there are some other gold boarders which Harry can see belong to:

- Andromeda Tonks nee black – who is connected to Theodore Tonks, and they have one child Nymphadora Tonks who just left Hogwarts.

- Bellatrix Lestrange nee black – who is connected to Rodolphus Lestrange, they don't have any children.

- Narcissa Malfoy nee black – who is connected to Lucius Malfoy, and they have one child named Draco Malfoy who is a month older than Harry and looks just like the boy from the clothes store.

- Sirius Black the 3rd – who has no connections but damn he looks so familiar that it gives Harry a headache.

He can also see that the women are related and next to Sirius Black he can see a red boarder around a Regulus Black. Harry feels really sorry for Sirius as Regulus was only 19 when he died. Harry is hopeful that at least one of these people would be willing to receive a letter from him, maybe they knew his parents and could tell him about them. Turning the page, he gets onto his parents wedding, and HE KNEW IT! There he is! Sirius Black is stood right next to his dad in the pictures, but then why was he left with his aunt and uncle instead of him. He knew his dad enough to be at his wedding but in the nearly 10 years he'd been with the Dursleys no one had come to visit him or even bothered to right him a letter. His dad has 3 young men stood next to him and this book says its Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. His mum has 3 lovely ladies stood next to her and the book says they are Marlene McKinnon, Alice Longbottom, and Mary Macdonald. That's 6 people outside his parents that could have at least written to him… wait a second Longbottom isn't that Neville's last name? Looking up he notices Neville staring at the picture with tears in his eyes, which confirms that yes, it is his mum and no, you shouldn't ask unless you want to appear really insensitive. Harry thinks it's a good time to give the book back to which Neville tells him to keep it as he has another copy at home. As soon as he gets to his dorm room, he is going to write Sirius a letter, and maybe the other two boys well he guesses they would be men now. The owl surely wouldn't fly off if the person has passed away, right?
