The Odd Potter

Hogwarts

It was the end August the day before they left for Hogwarts. The day Percy and harry got to go to Hogwarts as Harry was asking the Dursley's for a ride to the platform nine and three-quarters. Percy was doing the same thing he usually does reading books off of magic. 

Percy's desire to learn about and to understand magic seemed to tremendously outmatch Harry's. Percy was able to finish A history of magic multiple times learning much more than Harry who hasn't even gotten through it.

The words on these books didn't jump off the page for him its like they adjusted to his dyslexia and he was able to see a whole new world never before. Magic was something that will help him a lot through out his life and he just knew it. They went to sleep getting ready for the next day ahead of time together.

September 1st

As they arrived on the platform they noticed that there was no platform nine and three quarters. Percy of course looked calm and collected and sat there thinking for a moment, but Harry was looking around franticly asking people for the train that left at 11 of course there wasn't one. That was until Percy caught a couple of words from a group of people 

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

He quickly tapped Harry on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him as they quickly went behind the group of people

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 and Percy.

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?

Both the boys were In shock of the site in front of them

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, dears," 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.

Harry who was stuttering was interrupted by Percy. "Yes it is our first time can you please help us?"

"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."

As Harry ran through Percy quickly followed behind him there was a scarlet steam engine train waiting there along with the sign that said,

Platform Nine and Three Quarters

As the boys pressed through the crowds on to the train they found a compartment all the way at the end of the train where Harry was struggling with his luggage along as Percy was putting his up. Percy helped him after he watched Harry struggle for a bit and drop it on his foot.
