Watching the Movies - A George Weasley Love Story

Chapter 6 - Platform 9¾

[At King's Cross Station, up on a crossing bridge, Harry, with his cart of his baggage, equipment, and Hedwig, walks 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 will be wanting his, uh... 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.]

"...He just left you there..." Lily whispers to Harry completely shocked while Hagrid has a similar expression on his face,

"Mum it's ok, him leaving me there is how I met Ron," Harry reassures her,

[Harry is walking down a lane between trains. A man rushes by.]

Man: Sorry.

[Harry sees a guard.]

Harry: Excuse me, excuse me.

Guard: Right on your left, madam.

Harry: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9¾?

"Definitely James' son," Barty snickers at Evan's comment, and Regulus is unable to help himself from joining in with Barty and Evan's quiet laughs,

Guard: [incredulous] 9¾? Think you're being funny, do ya? [he walks off, muttering] "9¾."

[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?

"Is that me?" Molly whispers looking at herself with a small bit of awe at how she is handling seven kids,

"Yes it is Darling," Arther tells her softly before kissing her cheek, both of them continuing to watch the movie,

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.

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.]

"Classic!" Fabian and Gideon laugh high-fiving each other then Fred and George who look unbelievably happy, their prankster uncles whom they were named after just complimented them on a simple prank.

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.
