Above is what Gray looks like.The video is one I DO NOT own!
-------------------------
Scene: London Train Station. Up on a crossing bridge,Harry,Erza,and Natsu,with cart and animal companion,walk beside Hagrid.A couple look at Hagrid.
"What're you looking at?" Ha grid says.The couple walks away.Hagrid then looks at his watch. "Blimey,is that the time?!Sorry,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 tickets.Stick to it,that's very important.Stick to your tickets."
They all look at their golden ticket.
"Platform 9 ¾?But Hagrid,there must be a mistake.This says Platform 9 ¾. There's no such thing...is there?" Erza asks. They look up and Hagrid has vanished.

The scene changes as Natsu,Harry,And Erza are walking down lane between trains.A man rushes by."Sorry."
Harry then sees a train master. "Excuse me, excuse me."
Trainmaster talks to woman and child. "Right on your left, ma'am." Erza walks up. "Excuse me,Sir.Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9 ¾?"
"9 ¾?" Asks the Trainmaster."Think youre being funny,do ya?"He leaves.A woman,daughter,and five boys walk by,pushing carts. "It's the same year after year. Always packed with Muggles, of course." Says the mother/Mrs. Weasley.
"Muggles?" Says Natsu
"Come on.Platform 9 ¾ this way!All right,Percy,you first." She says
A tall boy with red hair comes forward and runs towards a brick wall.Amazingly, he disappears right into it.Harry and Erza are amazed. "Fred, you next." Says Mrs. Weasley. "He's not Fred, I am!" Says one of the twins. "Honestly,woman, you call yourself our mother!" The other responds."Oh,I'm sorry,George." Says Mrs.Weasley,sighing.
"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. "Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to-"
Mrs. Weasley cuts him off. "How to get on the platform?Yes,not to worry,dear.It's Ron and Gray's first time to Hogwarts as well." She gestures to the two boys.Natsu and Gray glare at each other but only for a short time. "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."
"Good luck." Says Ginny,the daughter.
Harry takes a breath and runs at the wall,Erza and Natsu behind him.He shuts his eyes and emerges on the other side a magnificent station with a red train and bundles of people.A whistle blows,and Harry sighs with relief.

After a long while,the train is traveling through unknown country.Inside a compartment,Natsu,Harry and Erza are sitting.The red headed boy,Ron,appears,dirt on his nose,along with Gray as well. "Excuse me, do you mind?Everywhere else is full."
"No, not at all" Erza responds.
Ron and Gray sit across from them. "I'm Ron,by the way.Ron Weasley.I think you've already met Gray.
"The name's Natsu Drako!" He says,sharing a toothy smirk.
"I'm Harry.Harry Potter." Says Harry. "And I'm Erza Potter."
Ron goes agape."So-so it's true?!I mean,do you really have the...the..." Harry looks confused. "The what?

Ron whispers "Scar...?"
"Oh, yeah." He lifts up his hair and Erza lifts up her left shirt sleeve. "Wicked." Says Ron.A trolley comes by the compartment,full of sweets. "Anything off the trolley, dears?" Asks a woman
Ron holds up mashed sandwiches. "No thanks,I'm all set." He smacks his lips.
Harry and Erza take out their coins. "We'll take the lot!" "Whoa!" Says Gray
Shortly after,the group of friends start eating their bundles of sweets.
Ron's rat,Scabbers,is perched on Ron's knee,a box over its head.
"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans?" Harry asks.
"They mean every flavour!There's chocolate and peppermint,and there's also spinach,liver,and tripe." Gray says. "George sweared he got a bogey-flavoured one once!" Ron adds.Erza quickly takes the bean he was chewing out of her own mouth.Harry picks up blue and gold package "These aren't real chocolate frogs,are they?" He asks timidly.
"It's only a spell." Says Ron. "Besides, it's the cards you want.Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard.I got about 500 meself." "Ribbit." The frog jumps onto the window and climbs up,then leaps out the window...disappearing.
"Oh,that's rotten luck.They've only got one good jump in them to begin with."
Harry checks out his card. "Hey, I got Dumbledore!"
"Which one?" Asks Gray.
"Um...Albus Dumbledore"
"I got about 6 of him." Says Ron.
After a few second,the amazing wizard goes missing. "Hey, he's gone!" Says Erza
'Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day,can you?" Gray says quite bluntly.Scabbers squeaks. "This is Scabbers,by the way,pitiful, isn't he?" Ron asks. "Just a little bit." "Fred gave me a spell as to turn him yellow.Want to see?" Ron asks,pulling out his wand. "Yeah!" Natsu exclaims
Ron: {clears throat} Ahem. Sun-
A girl with pink hair,Meredy Milkovich,and a girl with blonde hair,Lucy Heartland,appear at the doorway.
"Has anyone seen a toad?A boy named Neville's lost one." Asks the blonde/Lucy. "No." Says Natsu. The two girls notice the wand. "Oh, are you doing magic?Let's see then." Meredy proudly states.
"Aghhhemm." Ron clears his throat. "Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"
Zap.Nothing happens.Ron shrugs. "Are you sure that's a real spell?" Lucy asks. "Well, it's not very good,is it?Of course I've only tried a few simple spells myself,and they've all worked for me." Says Meredy."For example" Meredy starts, going over and sitting across from Harry.she points her wand(Meredy:13 inch rosewood,thestral hair)at his glasses and Harry tenses."Oculus Reparo." The glasses,which noseband is battered,are repaired.Harry takes them off, amazed. "That's better, isn't it?Holy Cricket,you're Harry Potter." She says,recognizing him. "And you must be Erza Potter." Lucy says,turning to her. "I'm Lucy Heartland.The pinkette is Meredy Milkovich...and you three are...?"
"Gray...Gray Black."
Ron and Natau speak in unison with a full mouth. "I'm...Ron Weasley/Natsu Drako."
"Pleasure.You two better change into your robes.I expect we'll be arriving soon." They get up and leaves,then Meredy comes back and looks at Ron. "You've got dirt,on your nose,by the way,did you know?Just there" She points.Ron scratches his nose,embarrassed.

Darkness,the train blows its whistle and pulls into an outdoor station.Hagrid walks along the side aisle,with a lantern. People begin pouring out of the train.
Hagrid yells. "Right,then!First years!This way,please!Come on,now,don't be shy!Come on now,hurry up!"
Harry and Ron walk up to Hagrid.
"Hello Harry,Erza."
"Hey, Hagrid."
"Whoaa!" Says Ron
"Right then.This way to the boats!Come on, now, follow me." Says Hagrid
