Hello, my names Steven Grant and I'm about to tell you a story about friendship, love, enemies and chaos. My life had been normal for the most part until I received my Hogwarts letter. My mom was excited that I might be in Hufflepuff but my father t...
I was in the car with Mum and Dad. I was really nervous for my first Day. I mean who wouldn't be, I'm going somewhere far away from home and away from my Mum and Dad. I've had my fare share of muggle schools, and people are not nice. With people always calling me a freak and all, I just hope this school will be different.
"Mum, are you sure I'll be ok?" I asked nervously. "Oh sweet heart, I know you're nervous. Don't you worry. Hogwarts is one of the safest places on earth. You'll be ok. Just breathe and calm your nerves everything will be alright, okay sweetheart?" She finished. I nodded as I took deep breaths. I decided to take my cat out of his cage. As I held him and pet him gently on his head, I can feel myself calm down. Somehow this cat knew what I was feeling, I guess she really is a smart cat.
After an hour we arrived and Kings cross, where we were told to go to platform 9 3/4. But theirs no such thing. That is until Mum walked through a brick wall between platforms 9 and 10. I followed her though to be met by a world of magic. Parents were saying goodbye to their children, and children were laughing with joy. I for one was one of the nervous ones. A train attendant approached to grab my stuff to put on the train. I grabbed my cat and placed him inside my Tavel bag.

When he got In he popped his head out and I scratched his head. She's a big fan of head scratches. I turned towards my parents as they said some final words before letting me go onto the train.
"Oh Steven, I'm going to miss you so much." She said while Dad got on one knee until he was at eye level with me.
"Alright Steven, behave yourself and try not make enemies with anyone and always be kind, do you understand. ?" He asked. "Yep" I said as he smiled and pulled me in for a hug and mum joined in on the hug. As mum wiped a tear from her cheek I made my way into the train. I turned around one more time. "Laters Gators." I said while waving. "In a while my little crocodile" she replied. I boarded the express and looked for an empty cart to sit in as I was too nervous to ask to sit by anyone. I eventually found one and sat near the window. I looked out and saw mum and dad waving. I waved back as the train began moving slowly, as they slowly were out of sight.
Desmond POV
"Honey he will be fine I'm sure of it" I said reassuring my wife. "Oh I sure hope so" she said. I looked back at the train leaving hoping he'll be fine. "But I might need a favor just to be sure." I said. I closed my eyes hoping that an old ally would answer.
"Konshu?"
And just like that a big walking mummy with a bird head appeared.
"Desmond? I was not expecting you to summon me so soon."
"Yeah, look, would it be possible for you to do me a small favor please?"
"But of course Desmond what is it that you need"
"It's our son." I said holding my wife near. "I just need you to look after him. I want him to be safe. Could you do that for me? Please?" He looked towards the train and back to me.
With that he nodded and transformed into a white hawk and followed the train. I looked back at my wife who was unsure about all this. "It's ok, I trust him" I said as she nodded but was still not fully on board with the idea.
Steven POV
I looked out the window admiring the view as the train makes it journey to Hogwarts. I then noticed a beautiful white hawk flying along side the train. I admired it for a bit until I heard a knock and I turned around and saw a boy with black hair and glasses.
"Hello, do you mind if I sit here? all the other carts are full?" He asked. "No please by all means take a seat. I said as he thanked me and sat down. "What's your name?" He asked. "Oh My name is Steven Grant. What's yours?" I said as I stuck my hand out for a handshake. He took it and shook my hand. "Harry Potter." He said. "Pleasure to meet you Harry." I replied. As we began to talk about what we each did over the summer, a boy with ginger hair came to our cart.
"Hello, do you guys mind. Everywhere else is full." He asked. "Not all, come in." I said. As he sat down he introduced himself. "I'm Ronald Weasley, what are you names?" He asked. "Im Steven Grant." I said. "And Im Harry... Harry Potter." He said as Ronald's face immediately went into shock. "So.... Is it true?"
"What?" Harry asked. "The Scar." Ron replied. "Oh!"Harry remarked as he lifted his hair up to show Ron the scar. "Wicked." He said. " Wait what happened to you there?" I asked as Ron spoke. "Harry's quite famous in the wizarding world. He's the one who stopped You-know-who as a baby. His scar is legend." He said. "And who is this You-know-who?" I asked. "He's an evil dark wizard. We do not speak his name." He said and looked over at my bag to see my cat who had popped out his head. "Wow! Wicked looking cat!" Ron said as Harry looked at my direction. "Oh yeah, this is my cat." I said as I scooped her up. "Her name is Selene" I said as the cat meowed.
"Anything of the trolley dears?" A kind woman asked. "No thanks I'm all set" Said Ron in a disgusted tone pulling out whatever was wrapped out of his pocket Harry looked over at Ron and decided to buy the whole trolley of sweets. "We'll take the whole lot" He said pulling out a good chunk of galleons out of his pocket. "Wow!" Ron exclaimed. Just a few minute later we were enjoying on our sweets when Ron Spoke.
"My brothers thought me a cool magic trick, do you lot wanna see?" We all nodded as he was about to cast the spell on his Rat Scabbers a girl with brown bushy hair walked by looking in our cart.
"Have any of you seen a toad? A boy Neville had lost one." She asked. We all shook our heads. "Oh..Are you doing magic? Let's see then." She said as Ron cleared his throat. "Sunshine daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow." He said as all it did was shock the box off the rat. "Are you sure that's a real spell?" She asked. "Well it's not very good is it?" She said as Ron gave us all and expression saying what's her deal. "Of course I've only tried a few simple ones my self. But they've all worked for me." She said as she grabbed her wand and sat next to me. For example. She said as she pointed her wand at Harry's glasses.
"Oculus Reparo" She said as the the tape holding Harry's glasses together came off as his glasses were fixed. "That's better isn't it." She said as Harry looked at Ron and Me in Amazement. "Holy Cricket. Your Harry Potter. I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?" She said looking at Ron's direction. "I'm, Ron Weasley." He said with candy in his mouth. "Pleasure." She said. And you? She asked me. "I'm Steven Grant." I said as she smiled. "Pleasure to meet you Steven" I smiled back. "Pleasure to meet you Hermione"
"Well you three better change into your robes, I expect we'll be arriving soon." She said as she got up as she was leaving she stopped and turned to Ron. "You've got dirt on your nose by the way. Did you know? Just there."Hermione said as Ron wiped the dirt off as she turned and walked away. After arriving at Hogwarts , we were greeted by a tall man. "Right then first years this way please, come on first years don't be shy, come on now hurry up." He said as we all walked towards him. "Hello Harry" he said. "Hey Hagrid." Harry replied. "Wow." Ron said. Right then, this way to the boats, follow me. Hagrid said as we all followed him. We all got on boats as we started to sail to Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry.
