As Kevin is going to ask Harry more questions suddenly he saw the familiar red head boy. His name seems to be Ronald Weasley. He asked while looking at the compartment with an awkward expression," sorry, everywhere else is full. Mind if I join in? ".
Harry said," not at all ", after a few moments of thought while Kevin stayed silent. Ron got into the cabin and said," I'm Ronald, Ronald Weasley ", Harry said," I'm Harry, Harry Potter ". ' Hmm, this is weird he seems to be shy just a moment ago but now he is copying the style of Ronald Weasley ', Kevin thought.
But then Ron exclaimed making Kevin frown," *gasp* you're Harry Potter. Harry Potter, the boy who lived ", then he hesitated as Harry nod his head and asked," do you have the the the-? ", Harry asked," what? ".
Ron asked with some hesitation," the scar ", Harry hesitated before showing the scar on his forehead. Kevin frowned looking at the scar. People admire scars now. What's next tattoos? Ronald said with a smile," wicked ". Harry smiled.
Then Ron turned to him and asked," and you are?", Kevin frowned at the tone. " Kevin Lawrence ", he extended his hand and shook Ron's hand. But Ron asked him," why didn't you react? That's Harry Potter we're talking about. And he is sitting in front of us ".
Kevin frowned again. ' Is this Harry Potter, a prodigy or the son of a very important person in wizarding world or maybe the richest kid in Britain?', Kevin just got to know wizarding world yesterday, so he don't know what's so special about this guy.
He asked curiously," uh, so? He is Harry Potter. But I don't know why we should be excited? I only got to know about the wizarding world just yesterday ", Ron frowned at the first sentence then his brow relaxed in the next half of the sentence," no wonder you didn't react ".
Ron then proudly started narrating despite the uncomfortable look Harry had. Frowning Kevin listened," nearly a decade ago, there lived a very bad wizard called Voldemort. He terrorised the wizarding world and killed so many people. His name alone is said to be cursed and people tremble to utter it. Even the most powerful aurorss, miniters himself feared this man. Entire europe trembled at his presence. Until one day, when he tried to kill Harry Potter and his parents. But his killing curse bounced back at him when he tried to kill Harry potter, destroying him instead He disappeared that day and never has been seen again even now. That's why Harry Potter is famous all over the wizarding world. He vanquished the dark lord even being a baby. That's when the scar is formed on Harry's head. Proof of his clash with the dark lord and his victory. It's formed on that night ".
Kevin expression changed from seriousness to doubt. Wait, even babies in wizarding world is so terrifying now. They killed dark wizards in their infancy. Kevin found it very impossible to be real. There must be a hidden piece somewhere.
Wait? That scar formed that day. Could this scar he the reason why Harry Potter has two name tags. Or by birth there is something hidden within him that defended him against that voldemort and killed that guy instead. What is hiding in your body Harry Potter?
Kevin looked amazed outside while running his brain for solution. There seems to be something amiss here. Pieces of puzzle are missing, the dots are not connected. Kevin instantly guessed whatever is causing all this, is hiding in that scar, perhaps in Harry Potter's body.
Then Ron started spouting nonsense, stories of Harry Potter like how he slayed a dragon or save a princess. Kevin felt this absurd, while Harry's face starteed turning red due to shyness. Kevin then realised this is all nonsense fiction written by people who wants to take advantage of the situation at that time to earn some money.
He glanced at Harry who finally couldn't take it anymore," Ron, all those stories are nonsense. I grew up in the muggle world and did no such things. In fact, i don't even know I'm this famous until hagrid took me to diagon alley ".
Harry said bitterly. Kevin narrowed his eyes, he saw that Harry Potter isn't very comfortable with the attention he is receiving. As Kevin wanted to ask more questions, suddenly a lady knocked on their cabin door. As they opened it, the lady asked," anything from th trolley dear ".
Kevin forgot his lunch. He wanted to buy something while Ron replied showing the package with a smile," no thanks. I'm all set ", Harry meanwhile took out like 15 galleons from his pocket under the shocked gaze of Kevin.
Then he said," we'll take the lot ", he bought like so many items that in a few moments the compartment is full of snacks for them to eat. Looking at Harry with a blank gaze, Kevin made up his mind,' I need to get close to this guy. He can help me with some money problems. But I need to be careful and make him feel like I'm not taking advantage of him or being ungrateful. I need to gave proper cars to stay in a equivalent exchange '.
In Kevin's eyes as long as you have something others need in a situation they will consider even 100 times it's value as worth and equal. All he needs to do is play his cards correctly and knowledge exactly what that is.
