The month of August had come and gone before anyone noticed and soon enough, the start of term was near. Charlie kept in contact with The Chosen One as he had to spend his last month with the Dursley's. He could only imagine how the anticipation of going to Hogwarts could effect his already horrific life with that god awful family.
Throughout August, Charlie kept himself occupied around the castle. He hung out with Peeves and played jokes on Mr. Filch, he taught Ludo some new tricks, he helped Dumbledore organize his office, he talked to McGonagall about his future lessons, he spent time with Hagrid and his magical creatures, he ignored Snape to the best of his ability, and again, he wrote to Harry.
When the month of September came around, Hagrid had made it known to Charlie that he was to accompany Harry to King's Cross. The young boy hadn't been to King's Cross in ages and so he asked Dumbledore if he could go as well. The old man agreed just as long as Charlie was back before the first years began to arrive.
With that, the brown eyed boy ran up to his room and got changed quickly. He wore back pants, a dark blue jumper, and threw on a black zip-up hoodie which he could use to hide his face.

When Hagrid and Charlie arrived at King's Cross, they awaited for Harry, who the boy could only assume would soon get dropped off by either his aunt or uncle.
Sure enough, a light grey silvarado in front of them came to a stop and Harry Potter exited the car, Hedwig in hand, and gave the brown eyed boy and the half-giant a big smile, "Hello!"
Charlie gave him a small wave and a smile while Hagrid spoke up, "'Ere yeh is Harry! Good to see yeh! Come on then!"
As Hagrid turned to walk further into King's Cross, Charlie helped Harry with the rest of his stuff. The brown eyed boy even dared to give Harry's uncle, Vernon a cheeky little smile and say, "Hello again." Which earned a scoff from the grumpy old man.
With everything in hand, Harry and Charlie walked into King's Cross. They met up with Hagrid to which Charlie looked up at him and said, "Thanks for the help."
Hagrid laughed at the boy's comment and still continued on his way. Harry took the time to take out his ticket and look at the platform number.
"Platform 9 and 3/4s? Is there even such a platform?" Harry asked.
Charlie nodded his head at the boy and began pointing in the direction of platforms 9 and 10, "Sure is mate, all you have to do is walk straight through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. No matter what, don't stop running. I'm sure there will be some magic folk down there to ask for help if you're still unsure."
The boy with the glasses nodded his head in understanding before snapping it back towards the brown eyed boy, as he had just processed what he said, "Ask for help if I'm still unsure? Couldn't I just ask you? You are coming with me, aren't you?"
