Nobody's POV:
[King's Cross Station. Up on a crossing bridge, Harry, with his cart of his baggage, equipment and Hedwig, walk beside Hagrid. A couple look at Hagrid, suspiciously.]
Hagrid: What're you looking at? [He then checks watch] Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Harry, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore'll be wanting his- well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. [hands the train ticket] Stick to it, Harry that's very important. Stick to your ticket.
[Harry looks at his ticket.]
Harry: Platform 9¾? But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9¾. There's no such thing...is there? [Harry looks up, but we now see that Hagrid has vanished and Harry all alone with his cart.]
[Harry is walking down lane between trains. A man rushes by.]
Man: Sorry.
[Harry sees a guard.]
Harry: Excuse me, excuse me.
"You did not! Harry!" James laughs.
Guard: Right on your left, ma'am.
Harry: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9¾?
Guard: [incredulous] 9¾? Think you're being funny, do ya? [he walks off]
[Harry then notices a woman, daughter, and four boys walk by, pushing carts.]
Mrs. Weasley: It's the same year after year. Always packed with Muggles, of course.
Harry: Muggles?
Mrs. Weasley: Come on. Platform 9¾ this way! All right, Percy, you first.
[A tall boy with red hair, called Percy, comes forward and runs towards a brick wall. Amazingly, he disappears right into it. Harry is amazed.]
Mrs. Weasley: Fred, you next.
George: He's not Fred, I am!
Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother.
"Fredrick Gideon Weasley! George Fabian Weasley! I do hope you apologized!" Astraea scolds. The twins wince and frantically nod their heads.
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, I'm sorry, George.
[Fred moves towards the wall]
Fred: I'm only joking. I am Fred. [He runs through the wall, and is followed by his twin brother. Harry shakes his head in disbelief.]
Harry: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to-
Mrs. Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well. [pan to a red haired boy, called Ron, who smiles] Now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous.
"Oh look, there's little Ginerva! Your little crush, Harry," the twins taunt.
Ginny: Good luck.
[Harry takes a breath and runs at the wall. He shuts his eyes and emerges on the other side a magnificent station at Platform 9¾ with a red train, which is the Hogwarts Express, and bundles of people. A whistle blows, and Harry sighs with relief.]
[Later on, the Hogwarts Express is traveling through the countryside. Harry is in sitting alone in a train compartment, and Ron appears in the doorway.]
Ron: Excuse me, do you mind? Everywhere else is full.
Harry: No, not at all.
Ron: [sits across from Harry] I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley.
Harry: I'm Harry. Harry Potter.
[Ron goes agape.]
Ron: So-so it's true? I mean, do you really have the...the...
Harry: The what?
Ron: [whispers] Scar...?
"Ronald Weasley!" Hermione smacks the back of Ron's head with a rolled-up newspaper.
Harry: Oh [lifts up his hair bangs to reveal it]
Ron: Wicked.
[A trolley comes by the compartment, full of sweets.]
Woman: Anything off the trolley, dears?
Ron: [Holds up his mushed sandwiches] No, thanks, I'm all set. [smacks lips.]
Harry: We'll take the lot! [pulls out coins]
Ron: Whoa!
[A bit later, Harry and Ron are sitting together eating bundles of sweets. Ron's rat, Scabbers, is perched on Ron's knee, a box over his head.]
"Damn rat! I'm so damn glad the damn spell was lifted before we killed 'em. That rat is absolutely delicious," Blaise smirks, his inner snake making an appearance, causing his eyes to become snake-like.
Harry: Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans?
Ron: They mean every flavour! There's chocolate and peppermint, and there's also spinach, liver and tripe. George sweared he got a bogey-flavoured one once!
"I will live by that statement!" George states proudly.
[Harry quickly takes the bean he was chewing out of his mouth.]
Harry: [picks up a blue and gold package] These aren't real chocolate frogs, are they?
Ron: It's just a spell. Besides, it's the cards you want. Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard. I got about 500 meself. [Harry opens the package, and a chocolate frog jumps onto the window and climbs up.] Watch it! [The frog reaches the open gap in the window, and jumps out.] Oh, that's rotten luck. They've only got one good jump in them to begin with.
Harry: [seeing Dumbledore's image in the card] I got Dumbledore!
Ron: I got about 6 of him.
[Harry looks at the card again, but Dumbledore has vanished.]
Harry: Hey, he's gone!
Ron: Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day, can you? [Scabbers squeaks] This is Scabbers, by the way, pathetic, isn't he?
Harry: A little.
Ron: Fred gave me a spell as to turn him yellow. Want to see?
Harry: Yeah!
Ron: [clears throat] Ahem. Sun-
[A girl called , with bushy brown hair, dressed in robes, appears at the doorway.]
Hermione: Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one.
"There you are, Hermione!" Neville states. "Trevor was with Professor McGonagall, we forgot to tell you. He rode in the Professor's compartment to Hogwarts."
Ron: No.
Hermione: Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see then.
Ron: [clears throat again] Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!
[He zaps Scabbers, but nothing happens. Ron shrugs.]
Hermione: Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it? Of course I've only tried a few simple spells myself, and they've all worked for me. For example... [Hermione goes over and sits across from Harry. He points her wand at his glasses and Harry tenses] Oculus Reparo. [The tape on the nose-band vanishes, repairing his glasses as if they were good as new. Harry takes them off, amazed.] That's better, isn't it? Holy Cricket, you're Harry Potter. I'm Hermione Granger...and you are...?
Ron: [with his mouth full] I'm...Ron Weasley. ..
Hermione: Pleasure. You two better change into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon. [Gets up and leaves, then comes back and looks at Ron.] You've got dirt, on your nose, by the way, did you know? Just there. [Points to the dirt mark on Ron's nose. Ron scratches his nose, embarrassed.]
