"Umm, Uncle Vernon ?" said Harry, so timidly. Uncle Vernon sits up and looks at him for the first time in weeks. Everyone has been ignoring us. Normally, that wouldn't be bad, but it honestly gets tiring after a while. Dudley still has the pig's tail.

"We were wondering if you could take us to King's Cross Station tomorrow for school." I said, so confidently. Uncle Vernon frowns at us.

"Oh, alright. But only, because we're going into town anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother." said Uncle Vernon. I frowned. The Dursleys are going into town. What for ?

"Why are you going into town ?" said Harry. Uncle Vernon stood up from his seat and he seemed a little frustrated now.

"Gotta get Dudley's ruddy tail removed before he goes to Smeltings." said Uncle Vernon, so gruffly. Me and Harry shared a humorous look. We've been teasing him about that the past couple of weeks, threatening him with a nice pair of ears to go with it. Once we've learnt some magic.

****************************************************
Uncle Vernon wheels Harry's trolley into the station for him, and Aunt Petunia takes mine. We share a look. That's strangely kind of them. Then, they turned to us.

"What was the platform that you two needed ?" said Uncle Vernon.

"Platform 9 3/4." said me and Harry. Uncle Vernon sneers and points it out.

"Well, here we are. Platform 9 and Platform 10. Your platform should be somewhere in between there ! But there's nothing there, are there Potters ?" said Uncle Vernon, triumphantly. He's absolutely right. On one side, there's Platform 9 and on the other side, Platform 10. What ? Maybe there was a typo on our tickets. Our aunt and uncle laugh at us, and walk Dudley back to the car, driving off in the distance. I stare at Harry.

"What are we going to do ?" I said, very worried.

"Umm, ask someone, maybe ?" said Harry. I nod. That's better than doing nothing at all. We walked up to a conductor. He looks down at us.

"Umm, can you tell us which train leads to Hogwarts ?" I said, so curiously. He stares at us.

"Hogwarts ? What on Earth is Hogwarts ?" said the conductor. I shrugged my shoulders at him.

"We just need to get there." said Harry. The conductor looks at him as well.

"Well, where is this Hogwarts then ?" said the conductor. I look at Harry, realizing that we didn't even know what country it's in.

"Umm, don't worry, I think I'll see some of our friends over there." I said, quickly pulling Harry away. "What do we do now ?" I said, so annoyed. He looks up at the clock along with me. The train leaves at exactly 11 o'clock. That's only 10 minutes from now !

I looked around and I heard a voice. "Packed with muggles, of course..." I turn around sharply and I see a red haired woman leading her five children towards us. I nudge Harry and we follow them.
