Platform 9¾
[King's Cross Station. Up on a crossing bridge, Harry, with his cart of his baggage, equipment and Hedwig, walk beside Hagrid. A couple look at Hagrid, suspiciously.]
"The world looks so small around Hagrid." Yelena said in her thick Russian accent.
Hagrid: What're you looking at? [He then checks watch] Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Harry, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore'll be wanting his- well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. [hands the train ticket] Stick to it, Harry that's very important. Stick to your ticket.
[Harry looks at his ticket.]
Harry: Platform 9¾? But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9¾. There's no such thing...is there? [Harry looks up, but we now see that Hagrid has vanished and Harry all alone with his cart.]
"Hagrid! You left an 11 year old boy all by himself who has no idea how to get on the platform!” McGonagall shouted.
”It’s alright Professor. I got help.” Harry said.
Reyana was ever so thankful that Minnie had the curtesy of telling her how to get on the platform when she arrived.
[Harry is walking down lane between trains. A man rushes by.]
Man: Sorry.
[Harry sees a guard.]
“Oh Harry! I pity you I really do!” Lilith said.
”Hey! I didn’t know at that time!” Harry yelled at his sister in defence.
Harry: Excuse me, excuse me.
Guard: Right on your left, ma'am.
Harry: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9¾?
Guard: [incredulous] 9¾? Think you're being funny, do ya? [he walks off]
”You almost exposed us Harry!” Hermione scolded him.
[Harry then notices a woman, daughter, and four boys walk by, pushing carts.]
Mrs. Weasley: It's the same year after year. Always packed with Muggles, of course.
”That’s us!” The Weasley twins shouted.
”No shit.” Damian rolled his eyes.
” I love his blunt replies.” Reyana chuckled. Lilith and Lyra wiggled their brows at her.
”It’s nothing like that.” She told them dropping her smile and putting on a straight face.
”Sure.” They said. Their minds starting to form plans on how to get them close to each other.
Reyana narrowed her eyes at them.
Harry: Muggles?
”Thank Merlin you learned that word.” Lily sighed.
Mrs. Weasley: Come on. Platform 9¾ this way! All right, Percy, you first.
[A tall boy with red hair, called Percy, comes forward and runs towards a brick wall. Amazingly, he disappears right into it. Harry is amazed.]
Mrs. Weasley: Fred, you next.
George: He's not Fred, I am!
Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother.
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, I'm sorry, George.
[Fred moves towards the wall]
Fred: I'm only joking. I am Fred. [He runs through the wall, and is followed by his twin brother. Harry shakes his head in disbelief.]
The hall bursts in laughter at that. The twins were just like their uncles.
Harry: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to-
“Aw-ickle Harrykins stuttering.” Reyana teased him along with Lyra and Lilith.
Mrs. Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well. [pan to a red haired boy, called Ron, who smiles] Now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous.
“That was very kind of you Molly. Thank you.” Lily said.
”Your welcome.” Molly replied.
Ginny: Good luck.
[Harry takes a breath and runs at the wall. He shuts his eyes and emerges on the other side a magnificent station at Platform 9¾ with a red train, which is the Hogwarts Express, and bundles of people. A whistle blows, and Harry sighs with relief.]
”Yeah Harry listen to a random woman and run straight through the wall.” Damian spoke.
The pranksters laughed at that while Harry looked embarrassed.
