September 1st 1991
Third pov
This was a moment all the first years have waited for as long as they remember, but no one waited longer than Harry Potter, after all since the first moment he remembers it was the thing he's been preparing for.
So you wouldn't be surprised if you were told that Harry woke up extremely early, actually, he didn't sleep at all last night, too bad it had nothing to do with excitement and more to do with the fact his parents were murdered, and he was going to meet their killer's child, at least if he is not mistaken about the killer's identity.
So at 6 AM, after a long night of occlumency and suppressing his feelings, Harry was more than ready to meet everyone with a smile.
He did his morning workout, Showered, made breakfast and after eating it he packed everything he owned in his expending suitcase except the vanishing cabinet and left the condo to the king cross station.
When he arrived there, he saw a curly haired 11 years old who, if he had to guess, must have been Hermione Granger, for a moment he was happy to meet the person who's supposed to be one of his best friends, than he remembered a couple of problems:
1) he is not the original Harry, actually he is very different.
He doesn't like Quidditch (it makes no sense), he didn't live with the Durlsly since he was 5 and he already decided not to be Gryffindor as he wasn't sure if he could keep himself in check and not kill anyone *cough* Marcus *cough*.
2) this wasn't canon, and until he figures out who's good and who is bad, he is not going to be friends with anyone
3) Hermione was always a 'stick to the rules' person, or at least until halloween (AN: sneaking dragons and haxing friends as an eleven years old while before "we could get killed or worse, expelled"{best line in seven books}), and even later she was always pro Dumbledore, she would never agree with revenge, the one thing Harry wouldn't compromise about.
So that's why he waited 5 minutes after she walked through the wall, then moved towards the wall while putting a hat on so he wouldn't be mistaken as his brother.
It worked perfectly, after all even though they are similar he is taller, skinnier, wore a hat and most importantly, he came alone while everyone knew the boy who lived would be with his parents and lots of reporters. So Harry got to the first years section of the train, found a wagon with no one in it and decided, as there was about a hour and 15 minutes till the train hit the road to take a nap. After all, he didn't sleep last night.
45 minutes later
Third pov
While Harry was still sleeping, outside the train there was lots of touching goodbyes, but none looked more touching than the Potter family goodbye.
After all, it's not everyday that your little boy leaves you for a year, and there were reporters everywhere.
Everyone wanted an opportunity for a boy who lived exclusive, but the Potter family was aiming higher, they wanted a front stage, which is why they were waiting for Harry, because what says front page more than- 'The one you didn't know about, the sacrifice of the boy who lived's brother.'
25 minutes later
'It's ridiculous' Is what everyone of the Potter family thought.'we can't wait any more, otherwise Marcus (I) would miss the train.' So they kissed, hugged and shade a tear one last time then Marcus, that never had friends as his parents were too afraid to let him out of the house without them, went and met his new followers (read as friends) for the first time.
The day later a story would be posted on the 'Daily Prophet' there would be an article about the Potter family- 'Loving or codependent? A look on the family of the boy who lived.'
And that's how, accidentally, by coming early and taking a nap, Harry maneged to destroy a little bit of the Potter family,
