Before 19 Years Later

The Train

Harry Point of View
As Ginny and I came back to our senses, everyone else appeared beside us. I looked at my watch we had ten minuets before the train left. I told Ginny this and together we ran through the the barrier. When we emerged on platform 9 3/4 we were hit by a cloud of steam so thick we almost ran into passerby. While we waited for our eyes to adjust, everyone else appeared behind us. And once again Mrs. Weasley was bawling.
"Th-this is the last time yo-you'll be riding the train... to-to Hogwarts." She sniffed sadly. Everyone groaned knowing full well that it would take quite a while to get away from her seemingly endless bear hugs. The whistle blew indicating we only had five minuets left to get on before the train left which saved us. As the goodbyes were given to me and Ginny, Ron and Hermione went and put there trolley's away. Then we switched spots. As I was helping Ginny load her luggage onto the train, I noticed a familiar and unexpected face. the face of Draco Malfoy.
"What's wrong Harry?" Ginny asked concerned seeing look on my face as I started walking towards the door to the train.
"Look over there by the platform entrance it's Draco." I replied and laughed seeing her shocked expression.
"What's so funny?" asked Ron. when Hermione joined him and we were all in the hallway of the train I replied with,
"Draco, he's standing over there. And Ginny's reaction, a bit like yours actually, was amusing to me." We found an empty compartment and all sat down. we looked out of the window and laughed as we saw Mrs. Weasley crying, clinging onto Mr. Weasley. And Mr. Weasley trying hard not to laugh waving back at us as we waved to them. The rest of the ride was remotely silent because we didn't have any updates on Voldemort or who was after me next. We did get quite a few stares as people passed the door. We hated all the attention, and people acted as if we only tried to save the wizarding world for the attention. We changed into our robes as the bell rang indicating that we would be arriving soon. We got off and met Luna and Neville on a carriage and road off to the giant familiar castle.
