The Chosen One / Harry Potter x Reader

The Train (1-1)

I wake up to the sound of my mother yelling at me from downstairs to get up and get ready.  I immediately shot out of bed, I was so excited.  Today was the day that I was finally going to go to Hogwarts.  I had been waiting for this day for as long as I could remember.  Hogwarts is a school where witches and wizards learn how to use their powers.  There are four houses at Hogwarts; Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.  Every person in my family is Slytherin and all of my friends have families that are all in Slytherin. 

I quickly get dressed into a pair of comfortable jeans and a short sleeved black top.  I pack up the rest of my trunk and make sure that my robes are right on top so I can quickly change into them while I am on the Hogwarts Express.  I quickly go downstairs to see that my parents have already made me breakfast and packed up my lunch for while I am on the train. 

"Goodmorning sweetheart, you must be so excited to go to Hogwarts today!  Your father and I made some pancakes and we packed you with a sandwich for on the train.  In the bag there are also a few galleons so you can buy some of the snacks off of the trolley," my mom says to me.

"Thank you so much mom!  I have all my stuff packed and Chumlee is bringing the trunk down into the car." I reply.  Chumlee is our family's house elf.  Normally my family using floo powder to get to places but we decided that we should drive to the station to not draw much attention to ourselves. 

We make our way back down to the car and leave the house.  My brother, Adam, sits next to me and seems to take up as much space as he possibly can.  Adam is only 10 so he won't be going to Hogwarts until next year.  I have a pit in my stomach from the nerves.  I hope that I am able to make friends and do well in my classes!   When we finally arrive at King's Cross station, I get out of the car and pull out my trunk.  I drag the trunk over to the opening of the station and haul it onto a trolley.  I look around the station to find where platfrom 9 3/4 is.  I only see platform 9 and platform 10.

"Dad, where is the platform, are we at the wrong station?" I ask my dad.

"No Y/n, we actually just have to walk through that pillar over there to get to the platform where the Hogwarts Express is.  So I will go with you first you just have to run straight into the pillar and it will let you through," he answers me.  I stand next to my dad who is holding the trolley and we run together into the pillar.  I close my eyes once we get close to the bricks scared that we will just slam right into it.  We keep running though and I open my eyes when I smell smoke and hear the honk of a train.  We made it!  I see all of the parents around the station saying bye to their kids before walking onto the train.  I say goodbye to my parents and my brother.  I step onto the train and immediately try to find a seat to sit in. 

While walking down the train I spot Draco Malfoy with two other friends in the cart.  I walk in and greet them because Draco is the only person that I know. 

"Hey Draco, can I sit with you I don't really know anyone else that is on the train?" I ask him

"Whatever Whitfield, that's Crabbe and that's Goyle, they don't really do much they're not very smart," Malfoy replies whispering that last part to me.  Draco and I talk almost the entire ride to Hogwarts and we both get different sweets from the trolley.  "Did you hear that Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts this year?" Draco asks.

"I didn't! I guess I never realized that he was the same age as us.  Lets hope he chooses the right friends and chooses to hang with us," I reply. 

Right before we are supposed to arrive at Hogwarts we go our separate ways and change into our robes.  I walk back to our cart and wait to get to Hogwarts.  When we finally arrive I get out of the train and start walking over to Harry.  I stop when I see him with Ron Weasley.  It seemed as Harry quickly got himself involved with the wrong type of people.  I guess that means that I probably won't be being too chummy with him.  An extremely large man calls us into boats and we start making our way towards the castle.
