*Early the next morning at Kings Cross Station, London*

Hagrid and the twins were casually walking down the pathway towards the train ports, each twin with their own luggage carts and owls.

Harry was currently wearing a cleaner version of the clothes he had been reusing for a month: the grey shirt, madras covering, baggy dark grey pants, and white shoes with white laces. His glasses were still broken but much cleaner than they had ever been.

Rose was wearing one of the outfits that Remus had packed for her. She wore a black long-sleeved shirt, with blue jeans, red sneakers with white laces, and had her hair down today with her loose bangs falling over her forehead slightly.

 Hagrid suddenly looked at his watch.

"Blimey, is that ther time?? Sorry, fer the short notice, but I'm gunna have tah leave ye lot. Dumbledore'll be wantin his...well, he'll be wantin to see me. Now, uh, yer train leaves in ten minutes. Here's yer tickets. Stick to it, ye two, that's very important. Stick to yer tickets." Hagrid said quickly as he gave one ticket to each of the twins.

Harry and Rose examine their tickets before Harry speaks up, "Platform 9 ¾? But Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9 ¾. There's no such thing...is there?"

The twins looked back up and Hagrid is nowhere to be seen. They looked around to try to find him, then, Rose just shrugged it off and encouraged Harry to follow her.

"Let's just find the platform and wait for the train.."

"Alright, Rose. Let's go." Harry replied as he followed closely behind his sister.

*a few moments later*

Harry and Rose hopelessly stood in the station confused and anxious.

"Um sir excuse me" Harry called out to one of the Stationmasters. "Excuse me, Sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9 ¾?"

"9 ¾? Think you're being funny, do ya?" the man replied before walking away.

Suddenly a middle-aged redheaded woman, her four sons, and daughter, walked through the station.

"It's the same year after year! Always packed with Muggles, of course." the woman complains.

"Muggles?!" The twins said before following behind the youngest red-haired boy of the group.

"Come on. Platform 9 ¾ this way!" the woman exclaimed. "All right, Percy, you first!"

A tall boy with red curly hair came forward and ran towards a brick wall. Amazingly, he disappeared right into it, causing Harry and Rose to stare stupidly.

"Alright, Fred, you next!" the woman then said.

Two identical twin redheads walked up to where their mother was standing.

The shorter one replied, "He's not Fred, I am!"

The taller one then said, "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother!"

"Oh! Sorry, George." the woman responded while gesturing for them to walk into the wall.

"I'm only joking. I am Fred." Fred said, chuckling. His mother gave him a look before the twins vanish into the brick wall.

"Um excuse me!" Rose said as she, Harry, and the youngest red-haired boy all came forward at the same time. "Could you tell us how to..um...get.." she started to ask as she gestured for Harry to come next to her.

"Wha-, how to get on the platform?" the woman asked.

 Rose nodded.

 "Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well." the mother said looking between the twins and her son.
