Chapter One

For Harry and Ron the train ride to Hogwarts was an amazing new experience. Sirius had filled Harry's money sack and he enjoyed spending some of it on sweets. He and Ron spent most of the train ride eating the sweets.

They met many people on the Hogwarts' express including Neville Longbottom. Neville, Harry knew was the son of two Aurors who had been tortured insane by Voldemort's followers. They also met Hermione Granger, a muggle-born, who Ron immediately termed "bookworm" and "know-it-all."

As Harry caught his first glance of Hogwarts he was stunned and amazed. The majestic castle and its entire splendor amazed him and he just couldn't get enough of looking at it.

He could see the Quidditch pitch where his Dad had played. The trees that the Marauders had spent many afternoons under. The Whomping willow and the forbidden forest. All the stories he had been told came alive in seeing Hogwarts.
