𓆥 Chapter 17 𓆥

{The screen cut from Fred's face to Harry's.}

Now that some saw, especially the Potters (but honestly who could blame them), Harry's face; they were excited, yet terrified at the same time, at what they would see.

And practically everyone, except for Harry, were on the edge of their seats, wanting to see more of Harry's childhood; even if it was a gruesome one.

{Harry basically dashed out of that house - again, if you can even call that a house - before the screen cut from him to a bridge, that's overseas. The screen then showed the inside of a train, Harry and Hagrid sitting in front of one another, as Harry reads off his list for his first year at Hogwarts.}

Harry: First year's students will require three sets of plain work robes, one wand...

{Harry looks at Hagrid at the 'one wand' part, his expression basically screaming at Hagird 'what the hell is this rubbish, do you actually think I'm gonna use a bloody wand?'. With Harry's look, Hagrid replies.}

The time-travellers chuckle, almost silently, at Harry's expression.

Hagrid: Essential bit of equipment, Harry.

{At that, Harry can be seen almost rolling his eyes before going back to reading his new list.}

Harry: One pair of dragon-hide gloves.

{Turning his head to Hagrid before asking.}

Harry: Hagrid, do they mean for a real dragon?

Hagrid: Well, they don't mean for a penguin, do they? Heh. Crikey, I'd love a dragon.

Most people in the Great Hall turn to Hagird with a wide-eyed, and slightly scared, expression. Hagrid just blushed, as even now he would love a dragon.

While most were scared, the time-travelers just rolled their eyes with a nearly bored expression on their faces; having already dealt with Norbert - well, Norberta, turned out to be - and Charlie.

Harry: You'd like a dragon?

Hagrid: Vastly misunderstood beasts, Harry. Vastly misunderstood.

Charlie giggles in agreement, before going to his brothers and their friends/partner and sitting with them; dragging Nymphadoa along as well. But Dora didn't seem to dislike that, actually she was quite happy to sit with her younger cousin.

Hydra just hugged Nymphadora tightly, missing her more than she'd like to admit to missing a person; especially a family member.

The twins hugged their older brother just as tightly, having not seen him much, due to his work; but they didn't blame him. Mostly because they knew living alone was better than living with their mother, she was a bit of a control freak, after all.

{When Hagrid is done with his statement about dragons, he turns to a woman sitting across from him, near where Harry is seated, and he nods at her. After that, the woman goes back to reading the newspaper in her hands. Harry is then heard talking before he is shown on screen.}

Harry: All students must be equipped with... one standard size two pewter cauldrons and may bring, if they desire either an owl, a cat, or a toad. Could we find all this in London?

{As they talk, the camera cuts from showing the - almost empty - streets to Harry and Hgaird's walking bodies. Both talk to one another, as they walk.}

Hagrid: If you know where to go.
{The two walk into a store - that Harry can definitely say, was not there before - that's all painted black on the outside, but has a sign that reads 'LEAKY CAULDRON' on the front of the tiny hidden store. Hagrid opens the door for Harry as they both go inside. Harry starts looking around at the strange new environment he's put into.}

Tom: Ah, Hagrid! The usual, I presume?

Hagrid: No thanks, Tom. I'm on official Hogwarts business today. Just helping young

Harry here buy his school supplies.

Tom: Bless my soul. It's Harry Potter!

{Suddenly the whole store has gone quiet at the sound of Tom saying Harry's name. All trying to get a glimpse of 'the boy wh lived'. A man gets up and starts shaking Harry's hand.}

Esmeray grimaces at the gesture, before whispering to Alice and Frank. "Imagine all the germs." Faking, but also not quite, disgust.

"Truly," Alice and Frank nod in agreement, before Alice responds to one of her best friends. "We don't know where that hand has been."

Man: Welcome back, Mr Potter, welcome back.

{A woman does the exact same thing the man did.}

Woman: Doris Crockford, Mr Potter. I can't believe I'm meeting you at last.

{A man with a turban comes into view, standing up slightly as soon as he sees Harry.}

The time-travellers, other than the four seventh years (Draco was too scared to tell Hydra of what he and his friends had done in their first year, as he was terrified of her reaction), glare at their old Professor; remembering what he had done to them, to the Wizarding World, during their first year of Hogwarts.

Quirrell: Harry P-potter. C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you.

Hagrid: Hello, Professor. I didn't see you there. Harry, this is Professor Quirrell. He'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

Harry: Oh, nice to meet you.

{When Harry hears that this man is his new Professor, he puts his hand out, expecting the man to shake; only for the man to look at Harry's hand hesitantly before deciding against shaking it.}

Quirrell: Fearfully fascinating subject. Not that you need it, eh, Potter?

{Suddenly the doors were slammed open, and the people inside could start to see four coming through. And once everyone had realized which four had come through, they all turned back to their conversations, all scared to even look at them. The Malfoy family came into the view of the camera, and Harry's view. All four family members were walking confidently, as though they owned the place.}

The Malfoy siblings rolled their eyes at the overly dramatic entrance their father had always done. Though Harry smiled, because this is where and when his first friends were made.
