the sun, bright the air, bright the students and bright their parents,
clean the paved ground of Platform 9.75, the winter Sun hanging low in the
sky at 9:45am in the morning on January 5th, 1992.
Some of the younger students wore scarves and mittens, but most simply
wore their robes; they were wizards, after all.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
After Harry had moved away from the landing platform, he took off his scarf
and coat, opened a compartment of his trunk, and stowed away his winter
things.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For a long moment, he stood there letting the January air bite at him, just
to see what it was like.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Harry took out his wizards' robes, shrugged them on.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And finally, Harry drew his wand; and he couldn't help thinking of the parents
he'd only just kissed goodbye, of the world whose problems he was leaving
behind…
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With a strange feeling of guilt for the unavoidable, Harry said, “
\emph on

\begin_inset Quotes erd

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The warmth flowed through him.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And the Boy-Who-Lived was back.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Harry yawned and stretched, feeling more lethargic than anything else at
the conclusion of his vacation.
He didn't feel like reading his textbooks, or even any serious science
fiction, this morning; what he needed was something completely frivolous
to occupy his attention…
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Well, that wouldn't be hard to come by, if he was willing to part with four
Knuts.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Besides, if the
\emph on
Daily Prophet
\emph default
was corrupt and the
\emph on
Quibbler
\emph default
was the only competing newspaper, there might be some suppressed real news
in there.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Harry trudged back over to the same newsstand from last time, wondering
if the
\emph on
Quibbler
\emph default
could top the headline he'd seen before.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The vendor started to smile as Harry approached, and then the man's face
suddenly changed, as he caught sight of the scar.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“
\emph on
Harry Potter?
\emph default
” gasped the vendor.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“No, Mr.

amazing imitation

\end_layout
\end_inset
”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And then Harry's voice stopped in his throat, as he caught sight of the
top fold of the
\emph on
Quibbler.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote

\begin_layout Standard
For just an instant, Harry tried to clamp down on his face, before realizing
that
\emph on

being shocked could be just as revealing, in a sense

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Excuse me,” Harry said.
His voice sounded a little alarmed, and he didn't even know whether that
was too revealing, or just what his normal reaction
\emph on
would
\emph default
be if he didn't know anything.
He'd spent too much time around Slytherins, he was forgetting how to keep
secrets from ordinary people.
Four Knuts hit the counter.
“One copy of the
\emph on
Quibbler,
\emph default
please.”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Oh, no worries, Mr.

“It's

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A newspaper flew through the air and hit Harry's fingers, and he unfolded
it.

“Gosh,” Harry said half a minute later, “you get a seer smashed on six slugs

I mean, who'd have thought that Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew were secretly

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Not me,” said the vendor.

\begin_layout Standard
“They've even got a picture of the two of them together, so we know who

\begin_layout Standard
“Goin' ter be one interesting wedding,” said the vendor.
\end_layout

Harry looked up from the newspaper, and said in a pleasant voice, “You know,
I heard at first that Luna Lovegood was insane, and I wondered if she really
was, or if she was just making stuff up and giggling to herself the whole
time.
Then when I read my second

\emph on
couldn't
\emph default
be insane, I mean, it can't be
\emph on

\emph default
to make this stuff up, you couldn't do it by

\emph default

And
\emph on
now
\emph default
do you know what I think? I think she must be mad after all.
When ordinary people try to make stuff up, it doesn't come out like

Something's got to go really

\begin_layout Standard
“Seriously,” said Harry.
“Who

this stuff?”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“You,” said the vendor.

Harry wandered off to read his newspaper.

\begin_layout Standard
He didn't sit at the same nearby table he'd sat down at with Draco, the
\emph on
first
\emph default
time he'd prepared to board this train.
That seemed like tempting history to repeat itself.

\begin_layout Standard
It wasn't
\emph on
just
\emph default
that his first week at Hogwarts had been, judging by the

Quibbler

It was that, in Harry's humble opinion, his life did not

need
\emph default
any new threads of complexity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
So Harry found a small iron chair somewhere else, distant from the main
crowd and the occasional muffled cracks of parents Apparating in with their
children, and sat down and read the
\emph on
Quibbler
\emph default
to see if it contained any suppressed news.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And besides the obvious craziness (heaven help them all if any of

“Lucius Malfoy,” Harry said, his voice weary.
Next time he was going to do the smart thing, and wait outside in the Muggle
part of King's Cross until 10:55am.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Lucius inclined his head courteously, sending his long white hair drifting
over his shoulders.
The man was still carrying that same cane, lacquered in black with a silver
snake's head for its handle; and something about his grip silently said
\emph on
this is a weapon of deadly power,
\emph default

\emph on
I am feeble and leaning on this.

His face was expressionless.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Two men flanked him, their eyes continuously scanning, their wands already
gripped low in their hands.
The two of them moved like a single organism with four legs and four arms,
the senior Crabbe-and-Goyle, and Harry thought he could guess which was
which, but then it didn't really matter.
They were merely Lucius's appendages, as certainly as if they'd been the
two rightmost toes on his left foot.

“But you have answered none of my owls; and this, I thought, might be my
only opportunity to meet you.”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“I have received none of your owls,” Harry said calmly.
“Dumbledore intercepted them, I presume.
But I would not have answered them if I had, except through Draco.
For me to deal with you directly, without Draco's knowledge, would trespass

The grey eyes glittered at him.
“Is that your pose, then…” said the senior Malfoy.
“Well.
I shall play along a little.
What was your purpose in maneuvering your good friend, my son, into a public
alliance with that girl?”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Oh,” Harry said lightly, “that's obvious, right? Draco's working with Gran\SpecialChar \-

Bwa.

A thin trace of a smile moved over Lucius's lips.
“Yes, that does sound like one of Dumbledore's plans.
Which it is

“Indeed,” said Harry.
“It is part of my game with Draco, and no work of Dumbledore's, and that

“When I read your response to Professor Quirrell's little speech,” said
the white-haired man, and chuckled grimly.
“I was puzzled, at first, for it seemed not in your own interest; it took
me days to understand whose interest was being served, and then it all
finally became clear.
And it is also obvious that you are weak, in some ways if not others.”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Very clever of you,” said Harry, still cold.
“But perhaps you mistake my interests.”
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
“Perhaps I do.” A hint of steel came into the silken voice.
“Indeed, that is precisely what I fear.
You are playing strange games with my son, to a purpose I cannot guess.
That is not a friendly act, and you cannot but

me to be concerned!”

Lucius was leaning upon his cane with both hands now, and both those hands
white, and his bodyguards had suddenly tensed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some instinct within Harry claimed that it would be a very bad idea to show
his fear, to let Lucius see that he could be intimidated.

Neville was approaching, looking scared but determined, in tow behind a

“Are you being an annoyance to our Harry Potter?”

The bark of laughter that came from Lucius seemed strangely bitter.
“Oh, I rather think not.
Come to protect him from me, have you?” The white-haired head shifted toward
Neville.
“And this would be Mr.

Harry had no idea at all what to say to that, and Neville looked confused,

“I doubt it is the world that is mad,” said Madam Longbottom.

“The Dark Lord could hardly have begun recruiting among pureblood families

I demurred, and he simply made sure of me.
His own Death Eaters did not know it until afterward, hence the false Mark
I bear; though since I did not truly consent, it does not bind me.
Some of the Death Eaters still believe I was foremost among their number,
and for the peace of this nation I let them believe it, to keep them controlled.
But I was not such a fool as to support that ill-fated adventurer of my
own choice
