Chapter 5- Night before the Hogwarts Express
It was the night before he was going to Hogwarts.
He trained, practicing all the spells he’d already learned and new ones from the textbook he brought into his dreams.
Ieson hugged him; “Good work. Go see your mum.”
Sitting under a tree with a book was his mother Lily, she grinned at him and patted the grass beside her.
Harry hurried up to her side and hugged her.
“I know you’re excited. Since Hagrid doesn’t know how a Muggleborn accesses Platform Nine and Three-Quarters I’ll tell you. Its warded and Glamoured. You have to sort of squint, like those funny pictures with hiding images behind them. I think they were a Wizarding creation in America to find Muggleborns. Now when you see the pillar waver like a heat shimmer I want you to lean back against it until you fall through. If you can’t see the pillar it can’t trick you into thinking it is real.” Lily sighed, “Severus is at Hogwarts. He never liked your father…James was a bit of a bully in school but he grew up. Severus never forgave me for being with James. When you met him, tell him that lilies grow smelling sweet. When left behind without a preserving charm, they perish, smelling fouler then corpses. Tell Severus I always loved him. I will wait for him.”
Harry was confused by committed the message to memory…
His mother’s sweet voice filled the air, her fingers stroking his hair, and she held him
Harry fell into a deeper sleep…
