Handshake // potter and malfoy

Platform 9-3/4

     Harry and Hagrid were just sitting in the leaky cauldron having a small talk. He really wanted to ask how his parents really died but he had been told once before that Hagrid wasn't the one to tell him. Harry decided that he was, so he asked Hagrid, who gave him the scar and how did his parents die? He wanted the whole story.
     Hagrid agreed and started telling him the story. " Well He-who-must-not-be-named gathered people to join his evil cult. One night he-who-must-not-be-named decided to come round your house, he killed your parents but something about you stumped him. He couldn't kill you, but all he left was a scar which seems to be a curse of some sort. Most say it was because of love and he couldn't beat the power of love.......your the boy who lived" Hagrid summarized for Harry.
     Anyways Harry most say he died that night but other people as well as me believe he's still out there and he's not powerful enough to try to come back. "What's his real name?" Harry asked Hagrid. "His name is V-" Hagrid attempted to say. "It's V-" Hagrid tried again. "Maybe if you wrote it down" Harry said. But Hagrid didn't know how to spell it. "Alright it's.....Voldemort" Hagrid whispered. "Voldemort?" Harry repeated. Hagrid shushed him and they looked to see if anyone heard. "We don't speak of his name." Hagrid said. Harry was glad that he knew the real story now.

     Harry was ready for Hogwarts. He had all his supplies and was all prepared. Hagrid was walking him through the train station. Harry was pushing a cart with his suitcases, school things, and his owl. Hagrid had to be off so he handed Harry his train ticket. Harry look at the ticket it said '9-3/4'. Harry said very confused, "But Hagrid there's no such thing as platform  9-3/4" Harry looked up to Hagrid but he was gone. Harry thought he should ask somebody for help.
     Harry found station 9 and 10,he asked a security guard where platform 9-3/4 was. The security guard replied with, " Do you think your being funny?" and walked away. Harry heard someone say muggles. He looked to his left and saw a red haired lady with a few children following her. She then said "this way...9-3/4". Harry quickly pushed his cart their way. He stood there and then he decided to speak up. "Excuse me, exactly how do I get to platform 9-3/4?" She looked at Harry and said "oh don't worry it's Ron's first year too" and Ron smiled at Harry. "All you have to do is go straight through that wall" she said and pointed to the separation wall of platform 9 and 10.
She made her oldest son go first and then Fred and George. Now it was Harry's turn, " Just run if your scared" she told him. He placed his cart in front of the wall and then ran up to the brick wall but instead of hitting it he went right through. He look around and saw platform 9-3/4. He walked to the train doors.
     He got all his things situated and had a seat in the train. He saw a few people walk past and smiled at the few who looked at him. Then after a while the red haired boy popped his head in. "There's no where else to sit....may I?" He motioned to the seat across from Harry. "Harry just shook his head and smiled. The boy then sat down and broke the silence by saying. "I'm Ron....Ron Weasley" Harry replied with, "I'm Harry...Harry Potter" and Ron look surprised, "like the Harry Potter, do u actually have the scar?" Ron asked. Harry lifted up his bangs to reveal the scar. "Wicked!" Ron said just as the lady with the candy trolley was passing. She stopped there for them. "No thanks... I'm all set" Ron said slightly ashamed as he held up a sandwich. Harry looked at Ron and decided on one thing, " We'll take the lot" Harry said grabbing a few coins out of his pocket.
     They had been eating so much candy and they were having a blast. Harry grabbed a chocolate frog and said " are these really frogs?" But Ron assured him it was only a spell. "It's the card you want he told Harry. " Harry opened it and grabbed the card. It read 'Albus Dumbledore' and shone a picture of his face and then it disappeared. "He disappeared" he told Ron. "Well you can't expect him to stay around all day" Ron replied. Their attention then grew to Ron's rat as he was trying to steal candy. "My brother told me a spell on how I can turn him yellow, wanna see?" But they were interrupted by a girl who poked her head through the door. "Have you guys seen a toad, a boy named Neville lost his?" Neither Ron or Harry had seen a toad. They told her they hadn't but she was now only interested in asking if they were doing magic. "Let's see...." She indicated for Ron to show her. He started spitting off a random spell which was supposed to turn his rat yellow except it only made his rat fall to the floor. Ron shrugged and they told each other their names. Hermione told them they should put on robes because they were almost at Hogwarts, but with that she left them alone and went back to wherever she was seated.
     Harry and Ron did think it was a rather good idea to put some robes on by now. After they did so they impatiently waited to arrive at their new school which taught them the world of wizardry and witchcraft...'Hogwarts'
