"Ron will you calm that bloody rat of yours" I say clearly annoyed because Ron's rat Scabbers was running around stealing my snacks that I stole but no one needed to know that or they'd all be asking for some.

"It's not my fault, he slipped out of my hands" He said putting on his most innocent looking face. You scoff but continue looking down at your watch to make sure your siblings didn't make you to late. Finally you made it to Kings Cross station and all filed out  of the car. Then moving around to go to the boot of the car to get your trunks. Walking in the station this time looking different than it normally would. Almost looked brighter, warmer, giving you a sense of beauty that you hadn't noticed before. Seeing all the muggles around you made you notice that the station is  loads busier than normal. As you make it to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 with your family your mom instructs them to go oldest to youngest. Percy gladly taking this as an opportunity to ditch us, went through the wall disappearing. You were about to run through the wall when you heard a voice behind you.

"Excuse me" the boy says with a hint of nerves in his voice. As you turn around you could not believe your eyes. It was him, the boy you saw in the wand shop. Your eyes went big as you looked into his emerald green eyes, which were already looking at you. As soon as he saw you he had  big smile on his face which you couldn't help but return. Breaking eye contact you started to look at your shoes.

"Would you mind showing me how to get onto the platform" He asked politely looking at your mom. 

"Of course dear" your mom responded. "Liliana would you and Ron mind showing him how"

"Sure mum" both you and Ron said. As if it was instinct you and Ron both lined up in front of the platform and ran at the wall.

Ron didn't want a repeat of last year when he didn't move out of the way fast enough and got trampled by Fred and George so you both moved quickly. It was always so magical stepping on to platform 93/4. The platform was BUSY. People were everywhere some were talking, others were hugging saying their last goodbye until break. After taking in the beauty of the platform you heard your mom telling you to follow which obediently you did. While walking over to the train you couldn't help but look next to you where the boy with the kind eyes was walking. He was looking around clearly taking in every inch of the platform. Eventually you make your way over to the train with Ron and the boy. While we were handing off our luggage you caught  sight of a platinum blond haired boy who looked just as excited as you felt. We made eye contact for about a minute until I felt Ron shoving me forward. 

"Oi keep it moving Liliana" Ron said shoving you. You trip over your foot and fall squeezing your eyes shut ready to hit the ground, but right before you do you felt someone catching you. Slowly opening your eyes you saw the boys face. He had the small little freckles that you can only see close up. You also couldn't help but notice a cut on his forehead. You stayed there in his arms dumbstruck of what just happened. Where have you seen that cut before.

"Are you alright?" asked the boy out of pure curiosity. You nod slowly still trying to figure out why the cut looked familiar. He lifted you up, lifted his hand to introduce himself.

"Hi I'm Harry, Harry Potter" he said with an angelic smile.

"Bloody hell your Harry Potter as in the boy who- nevermind umm Liliana Weasley" you say shaking his hand. His hand was warm and soft giving you almost a comforting feeling. Getting too lost in your thought you quickly let go of his hand before you embarrassed yourself anymore than you already have.

"Lets get on the train shall we" he said letting you pass by him. Taking the opportunity you quickly scurry past him and walked over to the entrance of the train. It took you a little while to find an empty compartment. Taking a seat you wait for Ron to come and sit with you. You heard the train whistle and start to move. Quickly you run to the window waved goodbye to your mom and sat back down. Ron still hadn't showed up so you started to worry that maybe he had missed the train but remind yourself that he had pushed past you and caused you to fall. In that very moment you met the boy who lived. The one who defeated Voldemort. The rest of your family were to scared to say his name but fear of the name only creates more fear of the person themself. You got pulled out of your thoughts when you heard knocking on your compartment door.
