It was an exciting day for an eleven-year-old Harry James Potter. Today, he was leaving the Muggle World and moving into the Wizarding World by attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where his deceased parents, James and Lily Potter, attended when they were his age.

His Maternal Uncle, thirty-three-year-old Vernon Dursley, dropped him off at Kings' Cross Station, eager to get rid of his freakish nephew and hoping the boy would stay in the Wizarding World for good.

After Vernon takes Harry's school supplies out of the car and puts them on a cart, he gets inside the vehicle and drives away since he has to go to work.

Harry silently watched the car drive away. He didn't feel sad that his Uncle didn't say goodbye to him since he knew at a young age that his maternal relatives didn't care about him that much. They only tolerated him, fearing what the Wizarding World would do to them if they had given him away to the orphanage.

Harry turns and puts his hand on the cart. He looked at his pet snowy owl, Hedwig, and smiled. The snowy owl was a birthday gift from Hagrid, and his new friend, Renesmee, was the one that helped him name the female snowy owl.

" Hedwig? I have never heard such a name before. What does it mean?" Harry asked.

" I remember the name from one of my Uncle Jasper's Historical fictional books. It was the main character's name from this book called Brave of Heart. She was a female Warrior," Renesmee responded.

" I also searched it up after reading the book, and it states that the name Hedwig means Survivor of War," She looked at the snowy owl longingly.

" And we both are survivors of a Supernatural War," She whispered while looking at Harry.

" You ready? We will see Rene today," Harry returned to reality and smiled at Hedwig.

Hedwig hooted in response.

Harry pushed the cart and walked towards King's Cross Station. He entered and looked at his surroundings, seeing hoards of people since it was the end of the week and people were trying to head back home from a long three-day weekend.

He pulls out the ticket that Hagrid gave him to give to the Hogwarts Express Ticket Collector.

" Platform Nine and Three-Quarters," He read.

He lifted his head and saw a sign saying Platform One, letting him know he had a long walk to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

He put his ticket away and pushed the cart, walking through the hoards of people to get to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. He stops walking when he reaches Platform Nine and Platform Ten.

His deep green eyes blinked since he couldn't see Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. He looked at his surroundings, feeling alone, wondering if he recognized someone from the crowd that could help him get to this mysterious Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

" Why are there so many Muggles in this Train Station?" A feminine voice asked, grabbing Harry's attention.

Harry turned to the voice and saw a forty-one-year-old Molly Weasley walking through the hoard of people with five children following her.

' That woman said, Muggle. I remember Hagrid telling me that Muggles mean someone that can't do Magic like my Aunt Petunia. They must be from the Wizarding World if they look lost,' He internally speaks.

He was about to walk toward Molly and her family, but he stopped when he heard his name. He turns and sees Alice Cullen walking towards him with Jasper Hale following her.
