Basil Potter

Chapter 2: getting to hogwarts.

~Basils pov again~

i was woken up by mum and Ginny again, they were excited, it was the day i got to go to hogwarts.

(a/n: more like hoewarts ykwim)

"it's the same year after year. always packed with Muggles, of course." mum says, "come on, platform nine and three quarters this way! all right, Percy, you first." mum finishes before Percy goes through the brick wall.

"Fred, you next." she tells Fred, "he's not Fred, i am!" i hear George say, i let out a giggle, being the only person in the house that could tell the boys apart.

"honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother." Fred continues. "oh, i'm sorry, George." she tells Fred. "only joking. i am Fred." he tells her, running through the wall with George following in pursuit.

a kid, around mine and Ron's age comes up and asks, "excuse me! could you tell me how to-" he says before mum cuts him off, "how to get on the platform? yes, not to worry, dear. it's Ron's first time to hogwarts as well," she stated before pointing and Ron.

"now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms nine and ten. best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous." she finishes, before the boy takes off into the platform.

a take Ginnys hand, and we take a running start to the platform together. Ron following after, "i thought we would have done it together Basil." Ron tells me, sounding sad.

i turn around to say goodbye to Ginny, who's currently crying. "i promise i'll send letters every week about my day, don't worry." i tell her, Fred and George promise to bring her a toilet seat.

me and Ron board the train together and start looking for a place to sit, we see the kid we helped to the platform sitting alone, so we decide to join him. "excuse me, do you mind? everywhere else is full." he says.

"no, not at all." the boy answers, Ron sits across from the boy and i sit next to Ron. "i'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley." Ron tells the boy, "i'm Basil, Basil Potter." i speak after Ron finishes.

"i'm Harry. Harry Potter." the boy tells us, me and Ron share a glance, "so-so it's true? i mean, do you really have the... the..." Ron asks, "the what?" Harry asks, since Ron randomly cut himself off.

"scar...?" Ron finishes, 'oh' is all Harry says before lifting up his bangs and showing his lightning bolt scar. "wicked." me and Ron say at the same time.

~skip to where they meet Hermione bc that would be a lot of typing~

"has anyone seen a toad? a boy named Neville's lost one." a girl says after walking in. "no." i tell her, "oh, are you doing magic? let's see then." she says again. i'm excited to see this happen.

"sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" Ron recites, i let out a soft giggle, knowing the twins pranked him. the spell was fake.

"are you sure that's a real spell? well, it's not very good, is it? of course i've only tried a few simple spells myself, and they've all worked for me. for example..." she says, before pointing her wand at Harry and saying, "oculus reparo" and then Harry's glasses get fixed magically, me and Ron let out a breathy 'woah' before turning back to her.

"that's better, isn't it? holy cricket, you're Harry Potter. i'm Hermione Granger, and you two are?" she asks me and Ron, "i'm Ron Weasley." he tells her woth his mouth full of food.

"i'm Basil, Basil Potter. nice to meet you Hermione." i tell her before another person walks in, "oh hi, Hermione Neville is looking for you, i'm Asteria. nice to meet you Basil, Ron, and Harry." she says.

~they arrive at Hogwarts~

it's nighttime and we arrive at a Hogsmeade station. Hagrid is walking alongside the train with a lantern. everyone piles out, loads of kids in robes. i decide to stay with Hermione and Asteria. Crynn soon enough catches up and hangout with us.

"welcome to Hogwarts. now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. but before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. they are Gryffindor, Huffelpuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. now while you're here, your houses will be like your family. your triumphs will earn you house points. any rule breaking, and you will lose points. at the end of every year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." McGonagall says. "the sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." she ends before walking off.

me, Hermione, Asteria, and Crynn all group up with Ron and Harry. "it's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." Crynn's brother, Draco, says. "this is Crabbe and Goyle. and i'm Malfoy... Draco Malfoy. and i've seen you've met my sibling, Crynn." he continues. Ron snickers at his name "think my names funny, do you? no need to ask yours. red hair, hand-me-down robe? you must be a Weasley. well, soon find that some wizarding families are better then others, Potter. don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort." he still continues, i feel my blood starting to boil.

"i can help you there." he ends it off, extending his arm towards Harry.

"listen here Draco, just because you always think you're better then everyone doesn't mean you get to throw dirt on my friends name. i'd say you better scram before i take away your hair gel." i spit out, leaving many people speechless, Crynn starts laughing, as well as Asteria and Ron.

"i think i can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks." Harry ends.
