Leo was looking at the other kids around the train station, thinking they were all going to Hogwarts too. He scanned over a couple boys with their Mother's and saw a girl who he kept his eyes on. She had bushy brown hair, accompanied by a thick fringe, she must have been near the same height as Leo. She walked with her two parents, a bright smile on her face. The boy didn't have a crush on the girl but found her pretty and he'd definitely be friends with her as she looked like a nice person. Leo smiled at her and looked over to Harry and Hagrid, the former reading his letter still.

"Blimey! Is that the time? Sorry, boys, but I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore will be wanting..." He started, Leo and Harry looking at him curiously. "He'll be wanting to see me." The man corrected himself. "Your train leaves in ten minutes. Here's your tickets. Stick to them." He ordered, handing the duo two yellow slips of paper. They both looked down at the tickets. Leo's face scrunched as he read the platform number. Harry seemed to be confused as well as he spoke up. "Platform nine and three quarters? But Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says 'Nine and Three quarters'. There's no such thing, is ther-" Harry suddenly stopped his question.

Leo, curious to why Harry stopped, looked up and saw Hagrid gone too. He turned to Harry and hit his shoulder to get his attention. "Magic probably." He shrugged and pushed his trolley over to the platforms. Harry sped up to catch up with him. "Where are we going to go then?" He asked, putting his hand on top of Hedwig's cage to stop it from falling. Leo turned to Harry, an 'are you stupid' look on his face. "Are you that dumb Harry?" The boy shrugged and Leo put his arms up and down, slapping his thighs as he walked away, shaking his head as he sighed. "Wait for me!" Harry shouted, running after him.

Leo walked up to a man in a uniform, probably a helper, and waited for him to finish instructing an elderly woman. Once she nodded and turned away, she walked past the two boys with a sweet smile on her face. Harry waved back awkwardly as Leo payed no mind to the woman. "Excuse me?" He gently patted the helper's back, not to startle him. The man turned around and looked down to Leo's height, smiling at the two. "Do you know where platform Nine and Three quarters is?" Leo held up his ticket as the man's smile went away.

"Nine and three quarters? Think you're being funny, do you?" He questions, walking away. Leo glares at his back and rolls his sleeves up. "Oh, I'll show you funny." He starts to walk after the man as Harry grabs the back of his jumper, yanking him back. "Ow!" Leo turns to Harry, cradling his now sore collarbone. Before Harry could answer back, a lady's voice cut in. "It's the same every year! Packed with muggles, of course! Come on." Leo and Harry make eye contact in a flash. "Muggles?" They both question simutaneously as they grab their trolley and run carefully towards the voice, attempting not to cause a collision.

They both see a large family of ginger people all stood in between platform Nine and Ten. Leo and Harry watch from afar as the lady beckons her children over to her. "Percy! You first!" She waves her arms over to the wall as one boy steps forward. He then runs towards the wall as he goes through it. Harry and Leo's eyes widen immediately. The lady doesn't seem to notice the boys as she calls her other children. "Fred!" She calls. One of the two look-a-like brothers walks up to her, "He's not Fred. I am!" He exclaims as the other continues. "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our Mother." He shakes his head as the lady, their Mother, apologises.

"I'm sorry, George." She says, pointing to the wall with her thumb. "Just kidding, I am Fred!" He laughs, not giving her a chance to reply as he quickly runs through the wall, his brother, Fred or George, following. The lady sighs as Leo laughs behind his hand at the brother's humour. Harry startles Leo as he calls towards the family. "Excuse me!" He walked over to them, Leo waited behind holding his chest. He composed himself and walked over too. "Could you tell us how too...?" He questions, looking towards the wall. Leo stands beside a small ginger boy, him now crammed between Harry and Leo.
