Harry stood on Platform 9 and ¾ in King's Cross station with his mother and father. "Stop doting, Lily," James Potter admonished his wife gently as she tried to mat down Harry's cowlick for the hundredth time. "It's not going down, it's too much like mine." James gave his son an affectionate smile.
"Mom," the eleven year old complained. "You're embarrassing me…"
Lily pulled back with a sheepish, watery smile. "Sorry, hon." She went to stand next to her husband.
Harry gathered up his trunk and started to awkwardly drag it along. He wasn't going to cry. He had been anxious to get to Hogwarts and had been for years! He wasn't a baby! He wasn't going to cry…
Despite his vow, he got a little teary as he waved to his parents from the window as the train started moving. "Find Ginny," his mother called to him. "You two should sit together on the train!" The Weasleys and Potters were very close. Harry nodded and rolled his eyes, wishing his mother hadn't shouted it.
Once they were out of the station, Harry started to move through the cars looking for Ginny. Not finding her, Harry stowed his trunk in an empty car and sat down. Hopefully Ginny would find him. |
