"Ok Harry, so we'll just go one by one through to the platform." Explained Lily. "I'll go first." Lily looked around for muggles (non-magic folk) and, seeing it was clear, walked straight into the small wall and disappeared.
"Your turn, Harry."
Harry jogged, pushing his cart, straight into the wall, the same way his mother had, and ended up below a sign which read platform 9 3/4. James appeared behind him.
"And Harry, do not forget to change into your robes as soon as you can see Hogwarts." Said James; Harry was not sure he could remember all the information his parents had set on him.
"Oh, and make sure not to eat too many chocolate frogs on the train!" Added Lily.
Harry's face lit up.
"They have chocolate frogs on the train?" He said enthusiastically. Lily smiled at him.
"Yes baby."
"Mum! Daddy!" Screeched Banes; Lily and James whipped their heads around. (They were very protective of their family ever since The Dark Lord almost killed them all.) Lily gasped. "Banes! You get over here this instant!"
Banes had climbed up onto the sculpture of a man hugging a woman, presumably his wife. The sculpture was at least 7 feet tall and Banes was almost at the very top.
James looked annoyed and anxious. "BANES!!!" He yelled. Heads turned in his direction. "You get down here!" Banes looked scared, as if James might hurt her. (He never would. He loved his family very, very much.) "Sorry sweetie, climb down." Banes started to slowly climb down. At one point she slipped, and James caught her with "wingardium leviosa!" and she was fine.
Lily looked at the large clock looming over everyone. "Ok Harry, grab your stuff, you need to get on the train now." Harry grabbed his trunk and heaved it onto the train. He found an empty compartment and shoved it onto the luggage rack, then left the train to say goodbye to his family.
"I can't believe you're already going to Hogwarts," said Lily. Harry gave his mother a hug.
"Bye Dad." He moved on to his father and gave him a hug. Banes was next.
He knelt down to her height. "Bye." He whispered, and pulled her into a hug.
"Bye!" Harry called as he dashed onto the train. He went up the steps and kept running to where he had put his trunk-
And he was on the floor. "Hello, Mr. Potter is it? I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
