The next few months flew by as I waited excitedly for September 1 to arrive. I read all my new books three times over and spent my days writing letters to my new friend. He had decided to name his owl Hedwig, and I had chosen to call mine Salazar. He teased me a great deal when I first told him this since we both had decided we did not want to be in Slytherin...but for some reason the name called out to me and seemed fitting so I said screw it and didn't mind that he made fun of me for it. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1oxNWxqL

Having Harry to talk to made my last few months at the orphanage bearable and for once I wasn't bothered by all the teasing and bullying I had to put up with. The other girls slowly seemed to realize this fact and to my astonishment, the frequency of their interruptions died down and they left me alone.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L4vozvXDT

Finally, it was the 1st! I raced down the stairs to where my luggage was waiting by the door; I had gotten everything ready last night to avoid any unnecessary delays. I sat on the couch with my hands in my lap until I heard the screech of tires outside the building. I hopped up and ran out the door and flung myself into Harry's arms.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8ITog16q

"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it, Harry! It's happening, it's really happening, we're going to Hogwarts. Are you excited? I'm excited!" I paused as I remembered to breath. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMUHWSQKVm

Harry chuckled at my enthusiasm as he helped me load my luggage into his Uncle's car. Since we lived so close to each other, Harry had asked his Aunt and Uncle if they could give me a lift as well. We were both amazed when they agreed. From what Harry told me about them, they were rotten people, but all the same, they were helping me so I graciously thanked them.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpQUEwnFD5

"Wow, you were right, Harry! He looks like he's permanently ticked-off or something!" I whispered as I got into the back seat with my friend. "Didn't even acknowledge that I was thanking him..." I frowned. I was used to adults ignoring me, but even still, his Uncle seemed to be taking it to the extreme.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDgCIIpkF

When we finally pulled into the parking lot, I squealed and dashed off to find us two luggage carts. Neither his aunt or uncle helped us unload; just stood there watching, and when we had finished, silently got back into the car and drove off. I shook my head in amazement at their deference towards their nephew.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc0J4jCE6j

Nothing could ruin my mood though so I just giggled and dragged Harry off to find platform 9 3/4. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08zC6TKlf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXNNagsr6l
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TK2MygpDT
"...Harry, are we in the wrong place?" I said nervously. I had found platform 9 and platform 10, but there didn't seem to be any sign for a 9 3/4. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq1g4kmgxJ

Harry stopped a passing guard, but didn't dare mention platform nine and three-quarters. The guard had never heard of Hogwarts and when we couldn't even tell him what part of the country it was in, he started to get annoyed, as though we were being stupid on purpose. Getting desperate, Harry asked for the train that left at eleven o'clock, but the guard said there wasn't one. In the end the guard strode away,muttering about time wasters. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBoCSLfMT5

I was now trying hard not to panic. According to the large clock over the arrivals board, we had ten minutes left to get on the train to Hogwarts and still had no idea how to do it; we were stranded in the middle of a station with trunks we could hardly lift, pockets full of wizard money, and two large owls. Hagrid must have forgotten to tell us something that you had to do, like tapping the third brick on the left to get into Diagon Alley. Harry asked me if he thought we should get out our wands and start tapping the ticket inspector's stand between platforms nine and ten, but at that moment a group of people passed just behind him and we caught a few words of what they were saying. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp8JPkOyPs

"...packed with Muggles, of course..." We swung round. The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair. Each of them was pushing a trunk like ours in front of him....and they had an owl too! Heart hammering, I watched nervously as Harry pushed his cart over to them. They stopped and so did he, just near enough to hear what they were saying. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBImhXtkD89

"You're not old enough, Ginny, now be quiet. All right, Percy, you go first." What looked like the oldest boy marched toward platforms nine and ten. I watched, careful not to blink in case I missed it...but just as the boy reached the dividing barrier between the two platforms, a large crowd of tourists came swarming in front of him and by the time the last backpack had cleared away, the boy had vanished. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgZfb8zRy

"Fred, you next," the plump woman said. "I'm not Fred, I'm George," said the boy. "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother? Can't you tell I'm George?" 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1brvESImN

"Only joking, I am Fred," said the boy, and off he went. His twin called after him to hurry up, and he must have done so, because a second later, he had gone...but how had he done it? Now the third brother was walking briskly toward the barrier he was almost there...and then, quite suddenly, he wasn't anywhere. There was nothing else for it. Harry and I exchanged a look before stepping forward towards the group.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQH37KFqbi

"Excuse me," Harry said to the plump woman. "Hello, dears," she said. "First time at Hogwarts? Ron's new, too."She pointed at the last and youngest of her sons. He was tall, thin, and gangly, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2swtNku0E5

"Not to worry," she said. "All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be scared you'll crash into it, that's very important. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Go on, go now before Ron."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cT5d1YcWp

"Er, okay," said Harry. He motioned for me to come over and together we pushed our trolleys around and stared at the barrier before walking straight at it. As people jostled around us we started walking more quickly and finally broke into a heavy run...the barrier was coming nearer and nearer...we wouldn't be able to stop...my cart was out of control...I was a foot away. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRIJPu6Gn

A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, eleven O'clock. I looked behind me and saw a wrought-iron archway where the barrier had been, with the words Platform Nine and Three-Quarters on it, we had done it! 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZfwAmQ0F

The first few carriages were already packed with students, some hanging out of the window to talk to their families, some fighting over seats, so Harry and I pushed our carts off down the platform in search of an empty seat. I followed Harry through the crowd until he found an empty compartment near the end of the train. He put Hedwig inside first and then started to shove and heave his trunk toward the train door. He tried to lift it up the steps but could hardly raise one end and twice he dropped it painfully on his foot. I tried to help, but even with the two of us, it was too heavy to lift up.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIYYd10qEa

"Is this going to become a ritual of yours? Because if you haven't noticed, we tend to say the same things at the same time a lot..." Harry said rubbing his shoulder. I simply nodded and gave him my sweetest smile. He rolled his eyes.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mP9rX2d1c

"Oh -well, I thought it might be one of Fred and George's jokes," said Ron. "And have you really got...you know..."He pointed at Harry's forehead. Harry pulled back his bangs to show the lightning scar. As he did so, I subconsciously reached up to my own, but then let my hand fall as I realized what I was doing. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5LNVV2Q7Y

"Five," said Ron. For some reason, he was looking gloomy. "I'm the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. You could say I've got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left, Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy's a prefect. Fred and George mess around a lot, but they still get good marks and everyone thinks they're really funny. Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it's no big deal, because they did it first. You never get anything new, either, with five brothers. I've got Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand, and Percy's old rat." Ron reached inside his jacket and pulled out a fat gray rat, which was asleep. "His name's Scabbers and he's useless, he hardly ever wakes up. Percy got an owl from my dad for being made a prefect, but they couldn't aff-I mean, I got Scabbers instead." Ron's ears went pink. He seemed to think he'd said too much, because he went back to staring out of the window. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHpoq8xiCT

Harry told Ron about how he had never had any money with the Dursley's and I in turn told him how I got all the worn out and broken and or shredded stuff at the orphanage since I was the one everyone liked least of all.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jxQLqkecR

"I'm not trying to be brave or anything, saying the name," said Harry, I just never knew you shouldn't. See what I mean? I've got loads to learn.... I bet, I bet I'm the worst in the class."

Around half past twelve there was a great clattering outside in the corridor and a smiling, dimpled woman slid back their door and said, "Anything off the cart, dears?" Harry and I, who hadn't had any breakfast, leapt to our feet, but Ron's ears went pink again and he muttered that he'd brought sandwiches. Harry went out into the corridor and returned with a little bit of everything. I reached into my own bag and pushed a few coins into Harry's hand to split the cost as Ron stared at what Harry had brought in.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEt7jXNNcx

"Oh, of course, you wouldn't know...Chocolate Frogs have cards, inside them, you know, to collect - famous witches and wizards. I've got about five hundred, but I haven't got Agrippa or Ptolemy." Harry unwrapped his Chocolate Frog and picked up the card and showed it to me. There was a picture of an old man who wore half- moon glasses, had a long, crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and a mustache. Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqorMVoQeL9

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGDum7g0x
Harry turned over the card and we read: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE CURRENTLY HEADMASTER OF HOGWARTS Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56YgeZ3aFO

"You want to be careful with those," Ron warned Harry. "When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor - you know, you get all the ordinary ones like chocolate and peppermint and mar- malade, but then you can get spinach and liver and tripe. George reckons he had a booger flavored one once." Ron picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and bit into a corner. "Bleaaargh - see? Sprouts." I laughed at Ron's expression and nervously took one for myself.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKukxSQln

"Harry, Ron, I'll be back in a bit!" I said over my shoulder as I exited the compartment. The two of us walked down the train knocking on all the doors but to no avail. Halfway through we were joined by a girl by the name of Hermione Granger. She had bushy brown hair and large front teeth, and seemed a little bossy at times, but I liked her. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ZZ8TiB2v

A voice echoed through the train: "We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately." My stomach lurched with nerves and Ron, I saw, looked pale under his freckles.

"C'mon, follow me - any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs'years follow me!" Slipping and stumbling, we followed Hagrid down what seemed to be a steep, narrow path. I clutched Kat's hand as we helped each other climb down the slope. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHNHMDYylY

"Ye' all get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here." There was a loud "Oooooh!" The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black take. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyM8RPohRr

"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Kat, Ron, Hermione and I all got into a boat together. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ZaKbthqt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKiuIcN0Ej
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI6aW193x4
"Everyone in?" shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself. "Right then - FORWARD!" And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over us as we sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtVvU8TAbK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAkv18a62r
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zicZUZYp
"Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boats reached the cliff; we all bent our heads and the little boats carried us through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face. We were then carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking us right underneath the castle, until we reached a kind of underground harbor, where we clambered out onto rocks and pebbles.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4bNb142uR

"Everyone here? You there, still got yer toad?" Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door. I looked over at Kat and wiggled my brows and smiled as she giggled. I loved it when I could make her giggle. She was so cute. Wait did I really just think that? I shook my head and focused on the door. This was the moment we'd been waiting for all day.
