Leo wakes up with a jerk. Someone seems to be carrying him, their deep voice annoyed. The voice seems to be male and has a really thick country accent.

Leo hears another voice, this time younger, speaking to the older male. 'they must be running' Leo thinks 'how else can those two walk to fast?'

Leo grabs onto the male's shirt and pulls himself up, hearing a gasp and opening his eyes to see the startled expression of a young boy.

The boy was scrawny, but not scrawnier than himself. He had jet black hair that was very messy and seemed to go everywhere. His fringe poorly concealed a lighting shaped scar on his forehead

The man holding him was huge. By huge, Leo ment absolutely massive. Leo had to look down approximately 3 whole feet to look at the raven haired boy. The man had to be at least 7-8 feet tall!

The giant holding him yelled and dropped his hands down in surprise. Leo yelped, but managed to hand on to the man's shirt. The man, quickly realizing his mistake, picked him up again, but this time, not bridal style.

Leo felt like he was a toddler, being carried around like one. He looked up and finally got to see the man's face.

It was extremely bearded and his frizzy, long, brown hair tumbled down his shoulders. Despite his fearful apperance,   he seemed kind, kinder than anyone he met after his... mom...

The man's soft brown eyes fixed on him. 'Gulpin' gargoyles, Leo! Yeh scared me!'

'How do you know my name? Who are you?' Leo asked, pretending to be braver than he felt.

'Righ'! I forgo' you didn' 'ear wha' I told Harry. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts.'

Leo frowned, slightly confused, but first things first. 'Mr. Rubeus-'

'Call me Hagrid' Rubeu- Hagrid interrupted'

'Hagrid' Leo amended. 'Please put me down, I can't feel my legs'

Hagrid had been holding onto Leo so tightly, he had lost all sensation in his legs. But not to worry, Leo had much experience with losing sensation in one's limbs.

'Righ' '

Hagrid popped Leo down and he stumbled slightly, before catching himself and standing up straight.

Leo looked at the boy and grinned, pulling a paper cap out of his pocket 'Hello! I'm Leo. What's your name?'

'Oh, I'm Harry' The boy spoke nervously. 'Harry Potter'.

Leo's grin widened. 'Nice to meet you!' Leo put the cap on his head and bowed down, taking off his cap exaggeratedly in mock respect as though Harry was a king.

Harry laughed.

'So how old are you?' Leo asked, pulling his cap apart, carefully removing the tape. He walked behind Harry and shifting to his right, fidgeting with the paper and putting the tape back in his pocket.

'You're fidgety, aren't you?' Harry smirked. Turning to the other side to look at Leo.

'Eh, what can you do when you have ADHD?' Leo said, amused, pulling a plastic rubber band out of his pocket and pulled it onto... something ehe made out of the paper.

Harry stopped, shocked. 'You have ADHD?!'

'Well yeah,' Leo said unbothered. He looked up at Hagrid. 'Do you have my bag? It has a few valuable things I need.'

'Yes.' Hagrid reached his massive hand down into his pocket and pulled out his grey backpack. He bent down and handed it to Leo.

'Thanks!' Leo said cheerfully and put the  things he was fiddling with back into his pocket. He took the backpack and slung it around his shoulder. He glanced over to Harry, who was still looking at him like he was of a different breed.

Leo felt the familiar pang of sadness and anger, but didn't let that show. He kept his cheerful facade on and pretended to take no notice.

Leo finally took a look around. He had looked around before, but somehow didn't know where he was. The walls and floor were gray bricks and tiles respectively, and there was a board on top of the archway they were going under showing the times for departure. But departure of what?

Not even a minute later, the question was answered as Leo glanced to Harry's other side. Train tracks. So they had gotten here by train.

'Leo looked at Hagrid. 'Please tell me about Hogwarst.'
