Chapter 5- Memories part two

Everyone was looking at the potter family laughing. The all felt Happy that Harry had a wonderful family for once. 

.............................................

'Should we continue with other memories then?' Said Sirius after everyone had calmed down

"Oh course we should. Um I will think of another memory to add I suppose" replied Harry

Harry then thought of something else and put it inside the memory. This will be nice to watch he thought.

"-- packed with Muggles, of course--"

Harry swung round. The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair. Each of them was pushing a trunk like Harry's in front of him -- and they had an owl.

"Look Arthur that's us!" Said Molly excitedly

Heart hammering, Harry pushed his cart after them. They stopped and so did he, just near enough to hear what they were saying.

"Now, what's the platform number?" said the boys' mother.

"Nine and three-quarters!" piped a small girl, also red-headed, who was holding her hand, "Mom, can't I go..."

"THAT'S LITTLE ME SEE I LOOK SO YOUNG " shouted Ginny

"You're not old enough, Ginny, now be quiet. All right, Percy, you go first."

"What?" She spitted 

"It's my first year Ginny" said Harry 

" Still" and she stuck her toungue out at him

What looked like the oldest boy marched toward platforms nine and ten. Harry watched, careful not to blink in case he missed it -- but just as the boy reached the dividing barrier between the two platforms, a large crowd of tourists came swarming in front of him and by the time the last backpack had cleared away, the boy had vanished.

"Fred, you next," the plump woman said.

"I'm not Fred, I'm George," said the boy. "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother? Can't you tell I'm George?"

"Sorry, George, dear."

"Only joking, I am Fred," said the boy, and off he went. His twin called after him to hurry up, and he must have done so, because a second later, he had gone -- but how had he done it?

"Excellent. Quite frankly to say," exclaimed James

Now the third brother was walking briskly toward the barrier he was almost there -- and then, quite suddenly, he wasn't anywhere.

There was nothing else for it.

"Excuse me," Harry said to the plump woman.

"Hello, dear," she said. "First time at Hogwarts? Ron's new, too."

She pointed at the last and youngest of her sons. He was tall, thin, and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose.

"Aww Ron you look so cute!" Said Hermione

Ron turned bright red as Ginny said " I want someone to look at me the way she does to Ron " Harry rolled his eyes

"Yes," said Harry. "The thing is -- the thing is, I don't know how to--"

"How to get onto the platform?" she said kindly, and Harry nodded.

"Not to worry," she said. "All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be scared you'll crash into it, that's very important. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Go on, go now before Ron."
