Henry Harrow and the Philosopher's Stone

Chapter 11: The Journey from Platform 9 and 3/4

King's Cross Station, London
September 1st 1991
10:50AM

Today was the big day that Harry Potter, Henry Harrow and Braxton Hagrid would attend their first year at Hogwarts, unfortunately Wendy and Oliver had to work on that day so they couldn't take them to the platform at King's Cross Station, but they let Hagrid take them and they said goodbye to them at the train station before they went to work at the Ministry of Magic, as Hagrid guided them through King's Cross Station he then checked his pocket watch and saw the time and was taken aback.

Blimey, is that the time? said Hagrid shocked

What is it, dad? asked Braxton

I'm sorry boys, I'm going to have to leave you Dumbledore will be wanting his-, well he'll wanting to see me said Hagrid

Can't I come with you? asked Braxton

Sorry son, it's Hogwarts business only, now your train leaves in ten minutes, here are your tickets stick to 'em boys, it's very important stick to your tickets said Hagrid handing them three train tickets

Harry and Henry then looked at their train tickets and they were confused about the number of the platform, the ticket said the number of the platform was Platform 9 3/4

Platform nine and three quarters? but Hagrid there must be a mistake, this says Platform nine and three quarters there's no such thing is there? asked Harry

Harry looked over to see Hagrid was gone, he and the others started wondering around the train station looking for the platform, Braxton having lived next to Hogwarts knew about Platform 9 3/4 from all the students but didn't know how to get there, Harry, Henry and Braxton wandered through the train station and decided to the station conductor for directions.

Excuse me sir, can you tell us where to find Platform nine and three quarters? Harry asked

Nine and three quarters?, you think you're being funny do you? said the conductor

As the conductor walked they knew they were lost under they a ginger headed family, with four boys and a little girl, they were The Weasleys which included their mother Molly, the oldest siblings being Percy, twins Fred and George, and the youngest being Ron and little sister Ginny, they too were looking for Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

It's the same every year packed with Muggles of course, come on Platform 9 3/4 this way said Molly

Harry, Henry and Braxton followed the Weasley family to the platform, they stopped at a brick pillar between platform 9 and 10 this confused Harry and Henry.

Alright Percy, you first said Molly

The oldest brother Percy then walked into the pillar and instead of crashing into it he instead walked through it, this surprised Harry, Henry and Braxton especially as he had heard many stories about the train ride to Hogwarts from many of the first years.

Fred, you next Molly said to the twins

He's not Fred, I am said Fred

Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother his brother said George

Oh I'm sorry George said Molly

he then pushed his trolley in front of the pillar but not before pulling a classic twin joke on their mom

I'm only joking, I am Fred said Fred

Then Fred and George then ran towards the wall and like their brother Percy ran through the wall they all saw them run through but they didn't know how it worked so Harry decided to ask Mrs. Weasley.

"Excuse me, can you tell us how to-?"

How to get onto the platform?, not to worry dear it's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10 said Molly
