Percy Jackson And The Philosopher's Stone

3 - Running Through Walls Now.

Percy was actually quite excited to go to school for a change. The night before they had to get the train, they asked their uncle if he could take them to Kingscross and he agreed, saying he had to take Dudley to a hospital anyway to remove his tail.

Upon hearing this, Percy could barely contain his laughter, and he also wondered what the doctors would think when they see a blonde pig and they have to remove its tail.

When they got to the station, Vernon helped his nephews with an evil smile, he put their trunks and other packages onto two trollies, and Percy carefully placed Wise Girl's crate on top of everything and Harry did the same with Hedwicks cage, and then Vernon left them, thinking that platform 9 and ¾ didn't exist.

Percy and Harry looked around. There was platform nine and there was platform 10, but they couldn't see platform 9 and ¾. Just as they were losing hope, they saw a group redheads, saying things like "Muggles" and they even heard "9 and ¾".

The speaker was a plump woman with four boys and a little girl, each with flaming red hair and the boys all had trunks like the cousins, and like Harry, they had an owl.

Deciding these people were their best chance at finding the platform, they got closer to them and watched as the oldest male went to walk at a wall, but then a bunch of Muggles walked in the way of the boy's view.

Percy took the first step onto getting them to the platform by waking up to the family. "Excuse me, Miss." His Aunt had told him off for saying Ma'am because it sound like you're calling that person mam.

"Hello dears. First time at Hogwarts?" She asked looking at their trolleys.

"Yes. But the thing is, we don't actually know how to." Harry stuttered.

"How to get into the platform?" She finished kindly and the two boys nodded with sheepish smiles.

"Not to worry. All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. If your scared or you stop you'll crash into it, that's very important. Best do it at a bit of a run if your nervous." She told them kindly.

Percy was uneasy. The woman had just told him to run at a wall, but seeing that his cousin just did it without question he ran after him bracing for the impact that never came.

He opened his eyes and saw a Scarlet steam engine, the platform was bustling with hundreds of people and a sign over head that Percy assumed said Hogwarts express.

The two boys pressed through the crowd until they found an empty compartment near the end of the train. They put their pets inside first, then Percy hauled his trunk up with difficulty, and went to help his cousin who was getting help by two identical looking gingers that they had seen on Kingscross.

"Hey Harry, you good?" Percy asked as the twins helped with Harry's trunk.

Before Harry could reply, one of the twins pointed at Harry's forehead. "Blimey! Are you?" one of the twins asked.

"He is." The other said "Aren't you?"

"They mean, that your my famous cousin, Harry Potter." Percy smirked at Harry's confusion.

"Oh, him." Harry said. "I mean yes I am. And that's my cousin, Percy Jackson."

The twins gawped at Harry as he went red, and to his relief the twins were called away. Harry sat next to the window and Percy sat opposite him with Wise Girl now in his lap and playing, trying to scratch him.

When the train started to move, a red haired boy asked if he could sit with them and when the boy sat down the twins came in.

"Hey Ron, we're going down the middle of the train, Lee Jordan's got a tarantula." They smiled.
