Harry Potter and the Truth (English)

4. Peron 9¾ & Malfoy

Today was the day Harry and Dudley travelled to Hogwarts. Harry was very excited about it, as was Dudley.

Actually Petunia really didn't like them being at Hogwarts, especially with the manipulative old goat making her even more convinced not to send them there. Harry and Dudley had actually finished their education at Ilvermorny a year ago. They were accepted there at the age of 7 and became the best graduates when they were 10 years old.

Petunia had always persuaded Harry and Dudley not to go to Hogwarts, she would rather have them go to Mahoutokoro where she had been. Or Durmstrang, the school Vernon attended. But the two children were already enrolled in Hogwarts, they had also been yearning for it since the beginning and Petunia could only give in.

Now they were right near platform number 9, Harry and Dudley looked confused looking for the platform their father had told them about.

"Dad, where is Platform 9¾? There's no platform like that here" Harry asked in confusion.

Vernon and Petunia just smiled and directed them in front of a brick wall between platforms 9 and 10. Petunia led Dudley and pushed the goods trolley towards the wall. Dudley screamed as Petunia pushed him towards the wall which Dudley and Petunia miraculously managed to get through. Harry stared in disbelief, he had never seen such a thing. He looked around, no muggles noticed them. Of course it was because of Vernon's Notice me Not spell.

Harry looked up at Vernon who just smiled, and pushed Harry into the wall that Dudley and Petunia had broken through earlier. Harry held his breath as they went through the wall until Harry and Vernon reached a station with a red steam train.

Harry looked around, many adults and children filled the platform. Some of the children wearing muggle clothes looked in awe at their magical surroundings but seemed confused about where to go and just followed the older children into the carriage.

Harry frowned in confusion, wondering why there wasn't a single wizard sent by Hogwarts to accompany the Muggleborns?

"Hey Harry, what are you looking at?" Dudley asked.

"Nothing, just looking around" Harry didn't speak his mind, it was none of his business anyway.

"HADRIAN! WILLIAM!" A slightly overweight boy ran towards them, followed by a middle-aged woman behind him.

"Neville, don't run!" The woman scowled in displeasure at her grandson's misbehaviour.

Neville immediately stopped his running, and smiled awkwardly at the grandmother who was now staring at him intently.

"Good afternoon Mrs.Longbottom, Neville" said Vernon who then gave the typical Pure Blood salute by kissing the lady's arm, Harry and Dudley were also there to pay their respects. Neville did the same to Petunia.

"Good afternoon Mr.Black" Neville replied

"Good day to you too Mr Black and family, or shall I now address you as lord and lady Ravenclaw huh?" Asked the lady

"Oh stop it Vernon, Augusta, you guys" Petunia shook her head at the behavior of her husband with her late mother's best friend.

Augusta who heard her name mentioned in Petunia's feigned annoyance chuckled gracefully and immediately hugged the eldest daughter of her late best friend Lavender.

"Oh my dear Rosella, do you know I miss you guys so much?" Said Augusta who was now cupping Petunia's cheeks.

"Whereas last Sunday you met at Private Drive" Dudley sarcastically looked at the three adults who were engrossed in themselves to the point of ignoring their children.
