September 1st 1991

King Cross Station. Up on a crossing bridge, I have a cart with my baggage, equipment and my owl named Erwin.

"You ready?" My mum asked me. I hesitated and nodded yes. My dad got down on his knee and put his hand on my shoulder. "It's okay to be nervous, you'll be okay, Hogwarts is the safest school for witches and wizards, remember be brave, and why should you brave?"

"Because bravery is the ability to look fear in the eyes and say move aside, you are in the way" I smiled and my dad hugged me I hugged him back my mum smiled. My mum gave me a ticket and we start walking down a lane between trains. "You remember what to do?" My mum asked I looked up at her and nodded she hugs me and kisses me on the forehead and I hug her back she pulls back as I grab the cart and took a deep breath and ranned at the wall and sighed and looked around as a whistle blowed.

Hogwarts Express

I walked into a compartment I see two boys one with red hair and the other one with jet-black hair that looked familiar.

"Excuse me, can I sit with you guys?" I asked. They both looked at me. "Leon?" The jet black hair boy said. "Harry!" We both smiled as he stands up and hugs me I hug him back. I sit down across the red hair boy I stick my hand out. "Leon, Leon Elliott" I smiled he stick his hand out "Ron Weasley" he shook my hand. A trolley comes by the compartment, full of sweets.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" She asked us. Ron holds up a mushed up sandwich. "No, thanks, I'm all set." I raised my eyebrows. "We'll take the lot!" Harry said pulling out coins. "Whoa!" Ron said amazed.

We are now eating a bundle of sweets and Ron's pet rat on his knee a box over his head.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans?" Harry said.

"They mean every flavour! There's chocolate and peppermint, and there's also spinach, liver and tripe." Ron said

"That's sounds disgusting!" I complained

"George sweared he got a bogey- flavoured one once! Ron continued

Harry quickly takes the bean he was chewing out his mouth and I smiled and took one to my face was disgusted and took a wrapper and spit it out into it Harry was holding in his laughter and picks up a blue and gold package.

"These aren't real chocolate frogs, are they?" Harry asked Ron,unsured.

"It's just a spell. Besides, it's the cards you want. Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard. I got about 500 meself." Harry opens the package and a chocolate frog jumps onto the window as climbs up. "Watch it!" Ron says. The frog reaches the open gap in the window, and jumps out. "Oh, that's rotten luck. They've only got one jump in them to begin with." Harry looks at his card.

"I got Dumbledore!" He said eagerly. "I got about 6 of him" Ron says. Harry turns his card to show me. "I don't see anything?" I said. Harry looks back at the card again. "Hey, he's gone!" Harry said shocked.
"Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day, can you? Ron shrugs.

Ron's rat squeaks "This is Scabbers, by the way, pathetic, isn't he?"

"A little." Harry said. I shrugged.

"Fred gave me a spell as to turn him yellow. Want to see?" Ron asked us smiling

"Yeah!" Me and Harry said in unison. Ron clears his throat. "Ahem. Sun-

A girl with bushy brown hair, dressed in robes, appears in robes, interrupts him.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." The girl said

"No" Ron replied to the girl

"Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see then." She said snarky

I looked at him and gave him a encouraging smile and he clears his throat again.

"Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" He said zapping scabbers, but nothing happens. Ron shrugs.

"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it?" She said rudely "Of course I've only tried a few simple spells myself, and they've all worked for me." She continued.

I muttered. "Who cares" as Ron gave me and Harry a look.

"For example" she said walking over to Harry siting across from him. Pointing her wand at her glasses Harry tensed up I raised my eyebrows confused what she was doing. "Oculus Reparo." She said. The tape on the nose-band vanishes, repairing his glasses as if they were good as new. Harry takes them off, amazed I was amazed as well.

"That's better, isn't it?" She said proudly and then her eyes widen. "Holy Cricket, you're Harry Potter. I'm Hermione Granger...and you are...?" She looks at me and Ron, Ron was stuffing his face. "I'm...Ron Weasley."

She looked at him kinda disgusted and looked at me. "Leon Elliott" I said. "Pleasure.You three better change into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." She said getting up and leaves, the comes back and looks at Ron. "You've got dirt, on your nose, by the way, did you know? Just there."  She points to the dirt mark on Ron's nose. Ron scratches his nose, embarrassed.
