Hogwarts

As he walked through the pillar he stepped to the side to wait for Harry. Harry charged through shortly after and stopped, gawking out as he looked around him.

''Hurry now, don't want to get bumped from behind by somebody.'' Jack waved him, watching him and Hedwig both look around. Hearing him Harry stepped out of the way just as someone with ginger hair charged through.

It looked to be Percy, since he seemed older, with a nod he passed them.

''Let's get to the train, all your luggage has your name, correct?'' Harry gave a nod. Jack walked over to a line of multiple carts. ''Leave it in line here then, someone will take it directly to Hogwarts, since I'm also a first-year you can stick with me.''

Harry seemed relieved he'd have someone to depend on as he left his cart in the line, giving a look to Hedwig before he nodded.

Both he and Harry boarded the train, finding an empty place they sat down. ''So Harry, any questions?''

Harry didn't even wait a moment, his bright mind instantly firing out. ''You say you're a first-year, but you already know quite a bit about everything?''

''Ah, well I'm what's considered a 'Pure-Blood.' A wizard born of both parents being a wizard. Though Harry, no matter a wizard's blood, they are just as much as a wizard as you or me. I've been around magic since I was young, I am actually the sort of... Grandson to the Head Master.''

''You are?! Boy.... I didn't even know magic was a thing until a few days ago...''

''A few days ago?... I guess that would explain why no one could find you, where you kept with muggles until now?''

Harry gave a shy nod. "Ah... I see... Don't worry, I will help you the best I can adjust to life in the wizarding world while also teaching you the things I know and what I can do, that is what a friend does after all.''

Harry grinned at this before someone peeked in, a boy with ginger hair and dirt on his nose. ''Do you mind if I sit in here? All the other ones are full.''

''Ah, a Weasly? Please, of course, join us."

Harry raised a brow. ''A Weasly?''

As Ron joined them Jack spoke. ''A Weasly, they're known for their Ginger hair, and all of them have usually been sorted into Gryffindor. They're a well-known Wizarding family, much like your family is... Or was, The Potters.''

Ronald spoke up. ''Wait, Potter? Like THE Harry Potter?... Do you have it?''

''Have what?'' Harry responded, a brow raised.

''Ah, I believe he means the scar.''

Harry then smiled slightly as he nodded, pushing his bands up to show it. To which responded Ron. ''Wicked!''

Jack laughed at that before Ron turned to him. ''And who are you?''

''Ah? I am Jack, first year.''

''No way, are you Jack Ripper?''

When Ron said his name Harry seemed a bit confused, a pretty violent sounding name, to which Jack nodded gently with a chuckle. ''Indeed, the very same. Though don't worry, we are only called Ripper because of a very old tale of my family.''

''That's so cool! I heard you were the adopted Grandson to Dumboldor?!''

Jack chuckled. ''I am actually when my parent had fallen in the war, he took me in since he was rather close to my family.''

"You're the same as me then? My parents were killed to...''

"Ah, I'm sorry to have brought it up Harry, I didn't me-.''

''No it's fine, I didn't know them that well, all I know about them is they were apparently great wizards.''

To that, both Ron and Jack nodded, but Jack spoke. ''Definitely great wizards, your dad was a well-known seeker and Duelist, as was your mother a well-known duelist too.''

Soon there was a soft squeaking in the hallway before a trolly of candy came by. ''Anything from the trolly dears?"

Ron held up, some sort of lump of what looked to be a sandwich, Harry took a bunch of Galleons out, Ron's eyes widened as he said ''We'll take the lot!''

''Actually! We'll just say the middle left side of the shelf, have to save some candy for others.''

With a smile and wave, the candies came off the cart and landed on a small table that pulled up to the side. Only two galleons flew from Harry's hands and into the pocket of the lady's skirt as she continued.

There was still quite a bit of candy, but Harry smiled sheepishly. ''Harry, first rule, there is more then just Galleons, and it is the most expensive coin, you may have money to freely spend, but make sure you don't spend to much.'' Harry gave a blushing nod.

Things happened just as they did to the movie, other then Jack being there and laughing with them as they ate, the only thing that happened differently was Jack reached to grab his cane, pulling the sphere and showing his sleek black wand as he waved his wand forward just as the frog jumped, surprising Harry.

''Careful, Chocolate frogs usually have a few hops in them left due to the magic, always be ready to catch them. If you give it a moment, they should still.''

Just as he was talking, the drog became still and Harry got to eat it, just then Ron was said he had a magic to turn his rat yellow. Jack looked to the rat a moment, before he could say the lines a girl swung in and looked around, looking up Jack gave her a smile that caused her to hesitate, watching him am moment before she turned to the rest. ''Have you seen a frog? A boy named Neville lost hi..Oh were you going magic? Go on then.''

Ron attempted to but all it got was a spark, he chuckled a bit. ''Seems your playful brothers tricked you, here.''

Raising his black wand he waved toward Ron. ''Scourgify.'' When he spoke, a while bolt left his wand and hit Ron in the chest, the moment it did his entire body was cleaned, including the spot of dirt on his nose, when it happened he wiggled a bit. ''That's wicked! This would make cleaning my bedroom so much easier!''

Jack chuckled and Harry laughed, Hermione smiled at the show of magic before she stepped in to sit across from Harry, beside Jack. "I know a bit of magic myself!'' She pulled out her wand and pointed it to Harry. ''Oculus Repairo!'' With the tap leaving his glasses with a jerk and spinning fast before puffing into spoke, it fixed the glasses frame, and glasses themselves in which Harry took them off and examined them in excitement. ''Good job, good application of the repair spell and even wizarding tongue to focus it on his glasses. You must've studied hard.''

To Jack's words, a slight blush rose. ''Of course! I only learned about magic this year so I have been studying as hard as I could to understand the most I could!''

Jack gave a nod before he waved to Harry. ''He only learned it a few days ago, as kindred spirits in such a fashion, maybe you two would like to join a study session with me? I already know most of the first-year stuff myself so I'd be happy to help catch you up!''

Hearing that Hermione beamed brightly, Harry seemed to be relieved though Ron rubbed at his nose. ''Could I join as well? I've known about magic my whole life, but I've never been good with it.''

Jack gave a nod. ''Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I will answer to the best of my ability, now. The name of the frog Neville lost?''

''OH! That's right! The frogs' name was Trevor if I remembered correctly!''

With a wave of his wand, he spoke out. ''Accio Trevor.'' There were a few screams of surprise which got a chuckle out of Ron, however soon a frog floated into view. ''The first lesson, once you learn how to feel the magic around and inside you, you can control how much you release, the more magic, the stronger the spell, since I didn't want to harm the frog, I put just enough magic to pull him towards us, slowly.'' With a wave of his hand, the frog landed into his hand and he stood. ''I'll go give this to Neville, Hermione, feel free to sit with us and partake in some of the candy.'' He smiled at her before he left.
