The Wizarding World

4: Train

*Timeskip to train to Hogwarts because I can*
And just gonna say this now Y/N is now 12 years of age your birthday is about time of you getting your Hogwarts letter and first trip to Diagon Alley, you are the oldest of the Golden Trio or in the case Golden Quintet. I believe that's the right word for it.

Y/N's POV:

"Platform 9 and 3/4 but there can't be no such thing." I said as Dad turned off the truck. "Oh there is." Dad said as we got out of the truck. I went to the bed of the truck and grabbed my trunk and my supplies with a present mom and dad got be a few days ago. A cat. She had orange eyes and black fur by far the smartest cat I've ever seen in my life. Responds quickly as if she understands, mewls at me before before mom and dad makes me up, honestly it was kinda scary but it was fun. With her pitch black shiny fur I named her Shadow. "Magic~" Dove said teasingly making me chuckling. If this is different than regular school then I may have a problem. We finally made it down to the runway and I was looking around the area. "Like always full of muggles." Dad muttered under his breath which earned him a shove from Mum. "Quiet Charles to them they see normal people just waiting to get to a train." Mum said quietly. I looked around still looking for right platform. "Only thing I can see is just 9 & 10." I said pointing at a pillar with 9 on the left and 10 on the right. "We're here." Dad said putting his hand on my shoulder. "Now all you'll have to do is run in between platform 9 & 10 and it'll lead you straight to the Hogwarts train." Dad explained. Impossible. "But won't I hit the wall?" I asked which got another laugh from Dad. "Nope you'll phase right through." I then looked around and saw people nearby the pillar. "Don't carry son it's enchanted they won't see you go through." Mum reassured. I nodded in reply and took a deep breath. Here goes. With that I ran towards the pillar and like dad said I phased right through to see a train with the Hogwarts emblem on the front and owls flying around. "Wow." I gasped as I heard a weird sound behind me. I looked behind me and see Mum, Dad and Dove all smiling as Dove looking at the platform in shock. "Woah. That's the train he gets to go to Hogwarts to?" Dove asked which made Mum and Dad nod in reply. "365 days till I can go." Dove said as we moved along side the train. "Now once you get there write to us as soon as you can, tell us about the spells and other magic you learn." Mom pleaded as we finally made it to a stop. "And stay out of trouble make sure you don't follow in your father's footsteps." Mom teased which made Dad smile lightly. "I wasn't that much of a trouble maker, besides he takes after you which means he'll be sorted into Ravenclaw." Dad said. "I'll stay out of trouble." I promised.

Dad hugged me where I hugged back, Mum kissed me on the forehead and Dove squeezed the life out of me. I'll miss Dove the most. I made my way in to the train and walked to the through to see kids all my age making their way to their seat in different rooms. I finally found an empty one where I went in and set my trunk on the top of the shelves. This is so much different than regular trains. I sat down in a seat and looked out the window and saw Mum, Dad and Dove waving at me where I decided to wave back as the train finally started moving. "Hogwarts here I come." I exhaled.

About maybe 5 minutes into the ride I heard a knock at the door. I turn to see the girl from the library at Diagon Alley. Hermione. "Mind if I come in every where else is full?" She asked. "No problem come on in." I said moving over as she came in. "You were at Diagon Alley, Y/N right?" She asked to which I nodded.

"And your Hermione Granger. Have you finished the book you got?"

"Sure did it was amazing but weird seeing how magic could be from could be from Muggles perspective."

"My mum and dad went to Hogwarts but never told me anything till I found out, all this is new to me too."

Hermione and I talked all about Hogwarts and I found like her she's book smart too. Glad I'm not the only one. "Did you know that you can't apparate or disapparate on Hogwarts grounds?" Hermione asked which I nodded. "Mum gave me a older version of Hogwarts: A History, apparently they have so many things that most other wizarding schools wouldn't have like trolls, goblins and elves?" I asked which Hermione instantly gasped at. "Why those? Isn't it against rules to keep dangers like trolls in Hogwarts?"

"From what my Dad told me Hogwarts has treasures and artifacts that have been there since Albus Dumbledore was even working there and most wizards tried to steal them so they asked the Ministry to take precautions for their protection." I explained which was a little weird. First years are loud and obnoxious. Most of them will cause trouble. "Excuse me?" I voice called out pulling both mine and Hermione's attention to see a boy with neat dark brown hair. "Have either of you seen Trevor. Hi Hermione." The boy greeted where Hermione greeted back. "Hi Neville." Must be a first year. "Y/N this is Neville Longbottom." Hermione introduced where I nodded. "Neville this is Y/N." Neville must be an extremely 'Nervous Nelly' cause he was still behind the door somewhat hiding. "Where did you last see him?" I asked making my way to him where he backed away and let Hermione and I out of our car. "When we left the platform." Damn. "Bene quod suus 'non auxilium." (Well that's no help.) I muttered in Latin which made Hermione and Neville snap towards me. "Was that Latin?!" Hermione blurted. I nodded and replied. "On my Dad's side. Anyways let's Trevor inveniet. (find Trevor) I said as Hermione and I went to find Trevor and from what Hermione told me, Trevor is a toad. Through multiple no's for no sign of Trevor at all. Neville will be very upset. We finally went to the last carriage on the first year and opened it to see two boys inside, one who had wild red hair, blue eyes, a rather long nose, thin and gangling with freckles and another boy who had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair and bright-green eyes  and wore round glasses. "Hello has anyone seen a toad, a boy named Neville has lost his?" Hermione asked as the two boys shook their head. I then noticed the red head had his wand out, Hermione must have noticed too since she decided to ask, "Oh your doing magic lets see then." Hermione said wanting to see a spell from a young wizard raised by most likely witch mother and wizard father but who knows he could be muggleborn. He cleared his throat and did his spell. "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" He said and then pointed his wand at a rat in his lap that I just now noticed. All that happened was the box on it's head came off. "Are you sure that's a real  spell?" Hermione asked 'know-it-all'ingly. If that's a word. I wasn't even paying attention when I noticed she went to sit in front of the boy. "For example. Oculus Repelo." Hermione said waving her wand as his glasses were fixed. It was then I noticed who this was. "Jiminy Criket, you're Harry Potter!" Hermione gawked. "I've read all about you. I'm Hermione Granger." Hermione introduced as she now looked at the boy who was stuffing his face. "And you are?" She asked slightly disgusted. "Ronald Weasley." He said with his mouth full of sweets. "Charming isn't he." I quipped looking unimpressed grabbing their attention. "Oh this is Y/N L/N." Hermione introduced me as I just simply waved. I'm not usually social with new people, but Hermione was interesting seeing as she was as much as a bookworm like me. "L/N?" Ron asked as he finally swallowed his snack. "I've heard so much about your parents, they're top of the Auror list aren't they?" Ron asked and Harry had a confused look and Hermione with an impressed look. I simply nodded. "Well we should head back to our cart you should get dressed we'll be in Hogwarts soon." Hermione beckoned as she made her way towards me as I looked at Ron and rubbed the side of my nose signaling he had dirt on the side of his nose. Well I guess I can tell Mum and Dad I've met Harry Potter.
