		       Chapter 1 u'r a wizard Harry

Harry had just turned 11 and found out from Hagrid the keeper of keys and
grounds at Hogwarts that he was a Wizard!!!

A, A Wizard! Harry said looking stunned. Thats rite! Hagrid mummbled and a
thumpin good one i'd wager. I wont pay some crack pot ole fool to teach him
magic tricks! uncle Vernon Dursley cried.  NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE TALKS
ABOUT ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN FRONT OF ME!!! Hagrid roared pulling out his
unbrella and pointing it at uncle Vernon who had backed up three feet from
Hagrid almost walking ontop of his nasty looking wife petunia Durley
standing rite behind him.

Hagrid looked out of the corner of his eye just in time to see little
duddly Dursley munching on Harries birthday cake that Hagrid had baked for
him, himself. He raised his unbrella and a green light shot out the end and
hit duddly rite in the butt and a small pigs tale grew out of his pajamma
bottom.  AAAhhh!!!!! Duddly screamed grabbing his new pig tale and running
into another room of the light house Mr. and Mrs. Dursley followed suit.

Well now Hagrid said looking down at his watch and then back to Harry.
We'd best be off. Hagrid said turning twoard the door before turning back
and looking at a stunned looking Harry. Unless u'd rather stay hear! Hagrid
said looking quit obstemistic and then turning and walking out the door.
Harry looked around for a second or two and without another thought walk
out the door and followed Hagrid.

Hagrid and Harry started off to london arriving a short while later.

this stuff that i need for wizards school hear in london? If you know were
ter go Hagrid said looking down at Harry with a giant smile on his face as
he turned a corner and entered a small bar that had a sign above the door
that read the leaky cauldron.

As Harry enter there were many people talking an mummbling to one
another. Ah Hagrid! the man behind the small pub said with a smile drooped
across his face. The usual i presume? No sorry Tom im on official Hogwarts
buisness. Hagrid said. Just takeing young Harry to buy his things for
Hogwarts.

Bless me buttens its Arry Potter! Tom whailed from behind the pub. The
cauldron suddenly hushing all around Harry as people surrounded him from
all sides shakeing his hand and welcoming him back to the wizarding world.

Finally Harry had just about shaken everyones hand except one person. Oh
Hello Professor Quiral! Hagrid said. Harry meet Professor Quiral he's ur
defence aginst the dark arts teacher! Harry raised his hand to shake
quirals but Quiral refused just stared at him and nodded.  Well we best be
off Hagrid said and they left the cauldron an went through a door that took
them behind the bar Hagrid took out his unbrella and tapped four bricks
that began to move till they formed a doorway.  Welcome Harry ter Diagon
Alley!!!!!!!!

Harry had never saw anything like it it was wonderful a small Alley hidden
from muggles by enchantment Harry looked around takeing in everything he
saw as if he was in some sort of dream that he wanted so badly to remember
every detail when he woke up.  Hagrid started pointing out the places Harry
would need to go to purchase his things for school. But Hagrid how am I to
pay for all of this I have no money? Well theres ur money Harry!! Hagrid
said pointing at a massive building. Gridgotts!!! Wizard bank aint no safer
place cept Hogwarts of course.  Harry an Hagrid entered Gridgotts witch is
ran by goblins an got Harry money plenty of money Harries parents had left
him a nice little fortune. Hagrid took Harry an they bought everything he
would need Harry especially like his wand it was so awesome an he loved the
Owl Hagrid bought him for his birthday. That afternoon Harry an Hagrid sat
down to eat and Harry asked him about his parents but Hagrid wouldn't tell
him much beside his parents murder was done by the dark lord VOLTEMORT.

After they finished there eats they left for kings cross station where
Harry would be taken to Hogwarts by train.

Finally they made it to Kings Cross Hagrid gave Harry his ticket and told
him he had to go Harry looked down at the ticket it read PLATFORM 9
3/4. But Hagrid this ticket says 9 3/4 theres no such thing is there? but
Hagrid didnt answer Harry looked up and he was gone.

			chapter 3 Hogwarts Express

Harry pushed his trolly loaded with his Hogwarts stuff and his new Owl
witch he named Hedwig. He walked down the station looking for platform nine
and three quarters but it didnt seem to exist but it had to he would just
have to ask for help so he walked up to one of the loading men and
asked. Excuss me Excuss me sir can u tell me were i can find platform nine
and three quarters? Nine and three quarters trying to be funny r u!!! the
loadman said nastily and walked off muddering those words.

Just when Harry thought there was no hope he herd a women. Platform nine
and three quarters this way!  Harry hurried off in the direction the women
was going an he saw her motion young boys in the direction of a peer that
seperated platform nine and ten. Harry watched as the women called there
names. pearce you first!  she bellowed and the tall red headed boy ran rite
through the brick peer. Harry was astanished. you next Fred she yeld at the
next red headed boy and then came george also red headed.

Harry ran quickly up to the woman. Excuss me can u tell me how??? Harry
mutters. How to get onto the platform ?The women asked. Yes said
Harry. Theres nothing to it deary just run rite straight at the peer
between nine and ten. Is this your first time she asked. yes! Harry
replied. It's Rons first time as well. she pointed at a short red head
boy. That gave Harry a large smile and a very noticeable wink. Harry turned
quickly from Rons eyes and started pushing his trolly towards the brick
peer and he heard Ron from behind him say. Good luck!!  Harry didn't look
at him be cause his stomach was makeing him feel really weard when he did
and he didnt understand why. Harry hurry through the peer and found himself
in a totally hidden platform it was huge and magnifasant a sign hung above
him that read platform nine and three quarters and rite in front of him was
a huge beautiful scarlet steam engine with Hogwarts Express on the front in
bold golden letters.

Harry boarded the train and setted himseld in an empty room about five
minutes later the train began to move when someone opened the door to his
room it was the redheaded boy he met in the station Ron was his name.  Do u
mind if i set with u ever were else is full? Ron asked. Not at tull!! Harry
said quickly and loudly. Ron smiled at him and entered the room.


			   Chapter 4 Meeting Ron

Ron walked over and set on one of the seats opposite of Harry they stared
at oneanother for a moment or two until Ron broke the silence. I'm Ron by
the way! Ron Weasley! I'm Harry! Harry Potter! Ron's mouth dropped open and
started to speak SO, SO it's true!! Ron said gasping for breath. WHAT!
Harry said. You've got the, the SCAR! OH Yeah!!! Harry said excitidly as he
raised his bangs so Ron could see the scar.. Wicked!!! Ron boomed.

Can I touch it? Ron asked thrilled. Harry blushed slightly his face turned
a light pink. Sure! Harry answered supperizingly. Rons face lighted up like
a christmas tree as he walked over to where Harry sat Ron took his hand an
very gently moved the hair from Harries for head and he took his finger and
rubbed the lightning bolt scar.  This felt surprizingly soothing to Harry
his scar was always bothering him weather it be pure pain or the pain from
kids making fun of him for it. Harry also noticed something else something
that kind of scared him a bit Ron was standing directly in front of him and
Harry looked down and noticed a rather small bulg in Rons pants Harries
face turned even redder tho when he noticed he also had a small bulg
directly in the front of his jeans.

covered himself his face burning from embarresment. Ron finally stopped and
started back to set down across from Harry, Harry watched as Ron walked not
really realizing it at first he was stareing at rons backside. Catching
himself he shook his head and looked away just before Ron turned to look at
him. Harry was feeling that same odd burning feeling in the pit of his
stomach and now he was tatally confused. Was he? Could he be? No I cant be
that way!! He thought to himself I cant be Gay!!! Theres no way!!! I like
Girls!!! and thats that! he lied to himself.

			 Chapter 5 The Sorting Hat

Harry and Ron sat quietly eating the sweets Harry had bought for them from
the lady pushing the sweets trolly Harry kelp noticing Ron scooching closer
to him everytime he reach for somthing else to eat but for some oddly
strange reason Harry felt confortable. Maybe it's because i've never had a
friend before... He thought to himself.  Thats it now i just need to start
enjoying myself. Harry then started talking to Ron like they had been
bestfriends forever and Ron seemed to like this the smile on Rons face and
the twinkle in his eyes made Harry breake into a smile something he hardly
ever was allowed to do for the durslies didnt want Harry to be
Happy. Finally the train screeched to a hault and everyone piled off FIRST
YEARS COME WITH ME!!!! they heard a roaring voice.

Hello Hagrid Harry said. Hello there Harry you look much better! Hagrid
commented. Harry just gave hagrid a nod. All first years Hear? Hagrid voice
exploded. Good Foller me. WOW he's enormous! Ron sqeacked. as him and Harry
walked behind Hagrid towards the behemoth castle in front of them. Is that
Hogwarts? Harry asked.  Yeah enormous isnt it? Ron muttered. As they walked
up the massive steps Ron slipped and Harry Grabbed him by his hand and
helped him from falling. Thanks! Ron said not letting go of Harries Hand as
they walked hand in hand into the castle, Harry didnt seem to care much
about Ron holding onto his hand it felt quit nice actually.

After they were all piled into the castle at the bottem of a set of goliath
sized marble steps Hagrid told them all to stay hear and somone would come
and take them to the great hall to be sorted. Sorted? Harry looked at Ron
with a whats that kinda look in his eyes as he wiggled his hand free from
Rons grip.

Ron looked at Harry with his lips in there usual curled up smile and just
shrugged his shoulders. SO IT'S TRUE THEN!!! A fowl hissing voice came from
behind them. Harry potter has come to Hogwarts! It was a stalky blonde
headed boy he walked up to Harry. You'll soon find out Potter that some
wizarding families are better than others especially this fag Weasley here
My name is Malfoy. Draco Malfoy! Ron sniggered a bit at Malfoys name.

What are you sniggering about fag!!! Malfoy said looking grottily at Ron an
Ron just looked down. Thats what I thought. Malfoy said. Then turning back
to Harry. As i was saying Potter some wizarding families are better than
others you dont want to go mixing with the wrong sort! and I can help you
there Malfoy said snakily as he streched out is clammy hand to Harry. I
think I can tell the wrong sort myself thanks. Harry said courteously.
Malfoy got a nasty look on his face and opened his mouth to say something
when someone came in.

Students! Students! attention please! the woman that entered yelled quit
loudly. My name is Professor McGonagall. Now in just a moment I will lead
you all into the great hall where you will be sorted into your proper
houses. Once you have been sorted please go to your house table and wait
quietly untill everyone has been sorted the the great feast will begin.

Ok now in a single file everyone follow me! They walked up the marble steps
and down a larg hallway and stopped in front of two huge wood doors
Mcgonagall raised her wand said a couple of words and the doors swung open
and she went in the student rite behind her. they made a perfect line
across the front of the great room they enter candles burning in mid air
makeing a gloomy light across the room there were four long tables that
streched the length of the room.

Now when i call your name you will walk up here an place the hat on your
head and be sorted. Professor Mcgonagall said loudly. Crevey berchstaff!!!
a small boy walked up to a small chair and placed the hat on his head the
great hall fell silent then all at one the hat yelled. HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!! The
great hall filled with screams of a plaudse comeing from the Hufflepuff
table. Hermione Granger!!! Mcgonagall yelled agin. Hermione put the hat one

and the hat screamed. GRIFFINDORE!!!

fine year at Hogwarts now without any further adue. He raised his wand said

gravy, a veriety of porages, and cake chocolate cream, bannaberry, cocanut,
blueberry sprigs, and lots of different types of food harry had never seen

			 Chapter 6 hurt feelings

After they ate till they couldnt take another bite they were all lead to
there houses by there house head boy which in Griffindores case Pearce
Weasley was the head boy as red headed as the other three Weasley's. As
they went up the stairs tword Griffindore tower Harry noticed the pictures
on the walls were alive. They finally made it to Griffindore tower which
had an enormous painting of a lady who said with a qaint voise. PASSWUD

They entered a room that was very large. Welcome to Gridffindore common

Pearce commanded.  Everyone went to there dormitories Harry and Ron shared
one sence each dormitory had two beds. This is better than I could ever
imagined Harry said to Ron as he began to pull his clothes off so he could
put on some pajammas Ron looked at Harry as he undressed. Yeah its
definitly better than I figured it would be! Ron stuttered looking at Harry
with his tongue hanging from his mouth like a hungry dog then Harry turned
an saw Ron looking at him. What are you lookin at? Harry asked. Ron quickly
look away. Nothin!!! Yes you were you was watching me get undressed!!!!!
WEREN'T YOU Harry said Harshly.

No I wasn't I, I, I promise I wasn't!!!!! Ron said looking quit scared at
Harry as if Harry would beat him Ron suddenly turned his head and propelled
his hands into his face covering his eye as if he started to cry, Harry
looked horrer struck he didnt mean to hurt Rons feelings lord knows he
knows how it feels and he would never want a fellow human being feel bad
especially Ron his hopfully first bestfriend ever well for that matter his
first ever friend. Harry opened his mouth to say something but stiffled
himself and Ron ran over to his four poster and closed the thick ribbony
curtians behind him.

am as he walked over to Rons bed and opened the curtains Ron jummped. What
do you want? he asked Harry with tears running down his cheeks. I wanted to
apoligize I didnt mean to hurt your feelings! You didnt! Ron replied
quickly. Then why are you crying?  I'm not!!! Harry reach his hand up to
Rons face and placed his thumb on Ron's cheeck and whipped a tear off.

thumb. Ron didnt say anything he just laid his head down on his fluffy
pillow and looked up at Harry. I supose that were friends rite? asked
Harry. Rons teary eyes filled with light and his face swiveled a bit
because of the smile that strung out over his face. Yeah!!!  Ron said as he
pulled Harry down on top of him into a hug.
