Hey everyone, I am so sorry that it has been so long. Real life has got crazy with my family and my little ones keeping me super busy. Chapters will come out every randomly, but I promise I am not going to abandon this book. This book might go into hiatus as I am writing my first original story, but as I said I will no abandon this book.
This chapter and the one that comes after might seem like a bit of filler. I didn't want to go from introducing everyone to straight to Hogwarts. The beginning of this chapter is briefely in Harry's point of view and then it switches to the general view. I will not the change so you don't get confused. I hope you enjoy it. On with the story.
Of course I don't own Harry Potter...although I wish I did.
Chapter 4: Platform 9 3/4
Harry's POV
When Harry Potter made it through to the platform, he was not sure what he thought he would see. What he did see however made him feel full of joy. There were hundreds of children there who were just like him. He was so excited that he couldn't wait to get on the train and hopefully make some new friends. Harry walked over to the train and unloaded his trolley. He then boarded the train and looked for a compartment to sit in. He was unsure if he should find one that was empty and sit on his own or try his luck and see if he could make some friends on the ride to Hogwarts. Little did he know he was about to run in too three people that he would become lifelong friends with.
General POV
Hermione was so excited when she and her parents arrived on Platform 9 3/4. She searched frantically for Draco and Delphina, she was so excited to see them again. It felt like she hadn't seen or talked to them in ages, even though it really had only been just that morning when she got Draco's owl, still she couldn't wait to see her new friends again. The thought of getting to hang out with them all the time made her heart soar, especially when she thought of Draco. She wasn't sure why but filed that information away to think on later.
"Hermione dear calm down, I'm sure your friends will be arriving any moment," her mother spoke to her. As her mother finished her statement Hermione all but squealed when she saw the unmistakable blonde hair that belonged to her friends. Having spotted them in the crowd, Hermione dragged her parents over to the Malfoy family to exchange pleasantries before the children boarded the train.
"DRACO! DELPHINA!" Hermione shouted over the noisy crowd.
Upon hearing their names being called the twins turned in the direction of the voice and smiled as the realized that it was Hermione calling out to them. They smiled and waved her and her family over. Pleasantries were exchanged as soon as the family came to a stop in front of the twins. The adults talking about what houses they thought the children would be in.
"It has always been that Malfoy's have been sorted into the house of Slytherin, however I think these two might change that." Lucius spoke to the Granger's. "Delphina is exceptionally witty and book smart, I would not be surprised if she ended up in Ravenclaw. Draco is brave and courageous, with a dash of cunningness to him, I have a feeling he could end up in either Gryffindor or Slytherin. No matter where they are sorted it will not matter. We are just so proud that they are going to the best wizarding school there is. Where do you think Hermione will be sorted to?"
"It is hard to tell." Replied Jean. "Hermione is loyal to her family, both by blood and those she deems family, like you all. She is very brave and courageous, book smart, witty, and cunning. So, she could end up in any house. I think she secretly wants to be where ever your children end up, but if you ask her, she will say anywhere but Hufflepuff. She doesn't want be associated with a group that only looks out for themselves and their little house only and doesn't want to make friends outside their house."
The adults all nodded their heads in agreement and the children too, having been standing by listening to the adults as they pondered in their heads what house they would be in. Before they knew it, they all heard a voice shouting. "The train will be leaving in 10 minutes. Any students not on the train need to come aboard now before they are left behind."
The children quickly hugged their parent's goodbye and headed for the train. Of course, not before they all promised to write as soon as they could about the house they were sorted in and promises to continue to write as often as possible during the term. The children agreed and headed off to find a place to sit.
It wasn't long before they realized that pretty much every compartment was full and they would not be getting one to themselves. They then came across a compartment that contained a single young boy. Draco took charge and opened the door slightly.
"Hi, I'm Draco. This is my twin sister Delphina and our good friend Hermione. Every other compartment is full and we would really like to all sit together on the ride, so we were wondering if you wouldn't mind letting us sit with you."
"I don't mind at all. It is nice to meet you all." Harry spoke as he looked up. Hermione noticed something on his forehead and wondered if he was the boy who lived. She figured it wouldn't hurt to find out.
"Excuse me, if you don't mind, what is your name?" Hermione asked him.
"Oh, I'm sorry I should have told you that already. I'm Harry. Harry Potter."
Hope you enjoyed. What house or houses do you think all of the students should be sorted in? Please Review and let me know. The house or houses with the most votes will be what I use.
