Like the Harry Potter?✨

On Friday, two days after Diagon Alley, we are all piling into the flying car to drive to the train station. I'm kinda scared, but mostly excited. But at the same time, sad, because I won't be able to talk to Ginny everyday and tell Molly about all of my problems. 

"You two excited?" Percy asks. 

"Very, but also a little scared," I say, with a tone of nervousness. 

"Me too," Ron pipes up. 

"It's ok, we were all scared our first time at Hogwarts. But you'll come to realize that it is going to very quickly become on of your favorite places in the world," George reassures us.

"I remember my first time walking into the Great Hall. I was terrified. But within a week Hogwarts had become the most fun place ever," Molly said, ruffling Ron's red hair. 

"Plus, you'll have the twins and Percy to guide you," Arthur said, looking at us with a smile in the rear-view mirror. 

"And anyway, I will be a perfect this year sooooo..." Percy says, beaming.

Everyone congratulates him and Molly talks about haw she always knew he would be a perfect. 

"Ready?" Arthur asks, the car coming to a stop.

"Not really," Ron admits, "But I'll be ok."

Once we have our trollies with all of our trunks, and in my case Bex, we walk to the brick column between platforms 9 and 10. I've seen the older boys do this countless times, but I'm still unsure. 

First, Percy hugs Molly goodbye and walks through the brick beam, confidently. 

Next, Molly looks at one of the twins and says, "Alright Fred, you next."

"He's not Fred, I am!" The other twin, claiming to be Fred says. But I know that's George, he's the one with mismatched socks, Fred would never. 

"Honestly woman you call yourself our mother," 'George' (Fred) says.

"Sorry George," Molly apologizes signaling for him to go.

"I'm only joking, I am Fred," Fred says and runs through the wall, George following close behind.

"Excuse me!" I hear from behind me, it's a brunette boy with bright green eyes and broken glasses, "Could you tell me how to.." He signals to the brick column.

"How to get onto the platform? Don't worry dear, it's Ron and Sage's first time to Hogwarts as well. Now all you've got to do, is walk straight at the wall before the platforms 9 and 10, best to do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous," Molly finishes.

"Good luck," Ginny says to the boy.

He disappears into the wall, now it's our turn. I wink at Ginny, knowing I'll be filling her in on that boy pretty often, and run at the wall. I close my eyes just as I run into it, expecting impact, but it never happens. I open my eyes, and I see tons of other kids boarding a big, red train. 

"Here goes nothing," Ron appears behind me, giving me a tight-lipped smile.

Someone takes our trunks and we climb onto the train. As we walk down the aisle, none of the compartments seem to be open. Until we see one with only one person, the boy from the platform. He looks familiar but I can't place him, "Excuse me, can we sit here, all of the other compartments seem to be full."

"Yeah, of course."

Me and Ron sit across from him just has the train starts moving, "Sagelyn Vox, but you can call me Sage" I say, holding my hand out to him, "And this is my brother, Ronald Weasley, or Ron."

"Brother?" The boy asks, shaking my hand.

"Well not by blood. My mum and his were best friends and my mother died when I was young so they took me in. My legal name is Sagelyn Vox."

Ron holds out his hand, "We never got your name."

The boy shakes it, "Harry Potter." The boy says nonchalantly. Ron's jaw drops. That's where I recognize him from, his dad probably. Arthur has a picture with him in his office, says they were friends for a few years, but then they grew apart. 

"Like the Harry Potter?" Ron asks.

"No Ron, a knockoff," I say, rolling my eyes. 

Ron rolls his eyes, "So do you actually have the scar?"

The boy lifts up his hair on his forehead and we see a lightning-shaped scar above his right eyebrow.

"Woah. Sage has one just like it on her wrist. Funny

We talk about his past for a while. Then, we tell him a little bit about the wizarding world. 

After a while, a lady with a trolly walks by and asks if we want anything. Harry buys us tons of candy, he's rich. We keep talking for a while and inform him the proper way to eat a chocolate frog.

Eventually, a bushy-haired brunette girl opens our door and asks if we've seen a toad. Apparently a boy named Nevill Longbottom has lost one. 

"Sorry, no," I tell her.

"Well, I'm Hermione Granger," She informs us, sitting down next to Harry.

She then proceeds to fix Harry's glasses and tells us how we should probably change into our robes. 

"She seems annoying," Ron comments once she's gone.

"I think she's nice, she was helping Harry."

"I don't know. She seems like a show-off."



A/N~ sorry if I change from past tense to present, I keep forgetting and I'm too lazy to go back and change everything. ;)
