Hi guys! Here is a wonderful little story that I wrote that was inspired by a tumblr post! I don't know if I want to make this a one-shot or a full story, guess that depends on the feedback I get from this! It's not my favourite bit of writing unfortunately (just technicality wise) but I like the plot. So let me know if you want this a one-shot or a full length story!

"I am in so much trouble!" a very confused and panicked Harry Potter though morosely. When Hagrid had given the elven year old, knobby kneed wizard his ticket for the Hogwarts express he had definitely not explained how to get onto Platform 9 ¾ and now it was ten thirty and Harry still had not found the train. Harry stood at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 staring at the wall wondering if this had all been an elaborate prank done by the Dursleys, when he heard a familiar voice. Harry turned around quickly to see the blonde boy he had met at Madam Melkin's!
"Father, why do you do business with muggles? We hate muggles," the boy asked looking up at a tall man with equally blonde hair and a walking stick. The two blondes were walking towards Harry along with a regal looking woman whom Harry assumed to be the boy's mother.
The father was about to answer when Harry made eye contact with the boy, "Oh! Father, I met that boy in Diagon Alley" the boy said surprised.
Harry smiled shyly and gave a little wave as the family walked closer, "Hi" he said softly once the trio were within respectable talking distance.
The boy looked at Harry with obvious confusion, "Why are you just standing here, you are going to miss the train" he pointed out.
Harry looked down at his feet, obviously these three knew a lot more about magic then he did, "Hagrid never told me how to get onto the platform" Harry muttered shamefully.
"Hagrid?" The boy asked confused.
"Hagrid is the game keeper at Hogwarts Draco." The father informed the son…Draco, "But why…" he trailed off not knowing the raven-haired boys name.
"Oh! Harry, Harry Potter" Harry said quickly, just thankful that he would get help getting on the train.
Draco gasped softly, his eyes going wide as he looked between Harry and his parents with obvious excitement while his parents showed no reaction to the revelation.
"Harry, I was wondering why Hagrid would be telling you anything, and where are your guardians?" The father asked knowing of course that the boy was an orphan.
Harry sighed in annoyance, "My Aunt and Uncle are muggles and hate magic…and me. Hagrid had to find me and bring me my Hogwarts letter because Uncle Vernon wouldn't let me have it, Hagrid took me to get my school supplies too"
The father was about to respond when the mother quickly said "Now Lucius, you can do something about this later. Harry and Draco are going to miss their train." She said with a pointed look at her husband before turning and kneeling down to be eye to eye with the frankly too short boy. "Now Harry, all you have to do is walk towards this wall and believe you will walk right through it, and you will. That is all" she said with a smile seeing Harry's eyes widen and light up with wonder.
"Really?" the boy asked excitedly.
The mother smiled at the famous boy, "Really. Why don't you go through with Draco and Lucius and I will bring your trolly?" she suggested, hoping to encourage a friendship between the boys.
"Come on Harry!" Draco says enthusiastically grabbing Harry's hand and pulling him towards the barrier before the Boy-Who-Lived could respond.
Harry didn't even have a chance to worry about face planting into a brick wall before he was greeted with the sight of the Hogwarts Express, "Wow" he breathed as he looked at the bright red engine and all the magical sights on the platform.
"It's quite the sight isn't it" Lucius said coming to stand beside the two first years as the gawked at the train.
Harry nodded before turning back to the two parents "Thank you for bringing my trolly Mr…." he trailed off not knowing the surnames of the blondes.
"Malfoy, and you are very welcome Harry" Mrs. Malfoy spoke up from beside her husband as Lucius quickly pulled out a small parcel from his pocket and pulled his wand from his cane.
"Harry, if you move your owl we can place Draco's trunk on top of yours" Mr. Malfoy said smoothly.
Harry quickly grabbed Hedwig's cage, "Where is your trunk Draco?" he asked confused.
The blonde boy let out a surprised laugh, "In fathers hand, it's shrunken, look!" he said, excited about introducing the famous boy to magic.
Mr. Malfoy smirked, not unkindly, before quickly enlarging his son's truck and levitating on top of Harry's and with a quick featherweight charm the boys were set to go.
As Draco was saying his farewells to his mother Harry turned to Lucius, "Thank you Mr. Malfoy, I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't come and helped me" he said sincerely.
"Think nothing of it Harry" the aristocratic blonde said before turning to his son, "I expect good grades Draco, Severus will inform me if you do not behave am I understood?" he asked sternly.
Draco nodded and replied, "Yes father" before quickly hugging the older man around the waist.
"Now onto the train you two! See you at Yule Draco!" Mrs. Malfoy says softly as she ushers the two first years onto the train.
The two first years quickly hauled their trunks and Hedwig onto the train and luckily found an empty compartment right away, once they had hoisted their trunks into the luggage racks Draco opened the window to lean out and wave at his parents as the train began moving. The older Malfoy's waved back, although with more composer than the eleven year old, and continued waving until the train was out of sight. Draco quickly closed the window and sat down on the bench opposite of the famous boy lost in thought, "Harry, I don't know what I said to upset you when we were getting fitted for our robes, but I'm sorry" Draco said sincerely, "I hope we can be friends and I don't want that to hinder any friendship we could have."
Harry sighed, he had already this morning decided to forgive the blonde boy's behavior from Madam Melkin's, as much as Draco reminded him of Dudley he also was nothing like Harry's whale of a cousin, "Draco, the reason you upset me was because you reminded me of my cousin, you were acting all superior and I didn't like it. But I would like to be friends too so I forgive you. But if you act like that again don't think I wont call you out on it" Harry finished with a playful smirk.
"Deal" the blonde said with a smile as he held out his right hand for Harry to shake.
"Deal" Harry said also smiling as he reached out and shook Draco's hand, this would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
