A/N: I'm writing this crossover with a friend of mine (check out her account: Sia99), after a prompt we found. This is both mine and her's first story, so please feel free to leave some advice and/or suggestions, and we'll try to include it :)
I bounced around the corner into King's Cross Station, pulling my Mum by the hand, whilst Dad wheeled the trunk on a trolley with my sister Josephine sat on the front. We were all smiling; myself- because I was finally 11 and old enough to start at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; my parents- beaming with pride at the sight of their daughter going to a wizarding school; and Josie- well at 8 she couldn't be happier or have anything at all to worry about.
Speeding up as I got closer to the right platform, almost breaking into a run, I could barely contain my excitement, I gazed up at the wall in front of me where platform 9 ¾ was concealed. "Beca, slow down…" Mum said light-heartedly, a smile breaking across her face as I turned to see her come to a halt. I gave her a hug, leaping into her arms, as she whispered her goodbyes. I nuzzled myself into her neck tightly, smelling her scent for the last time in a while, and pulled away just as a tear fell down her cheek. "Don't cry, I'll be home before you know it" I said, wiping the tear away gently and grinning up at her as she straightened herself. By then, Dad had caught up and was slowly walking towards me, kneeling down and embracing me before saying "No words can describe how proud of you, I am, Rebecca Elizabeth Mitchell." I winced slightly at the use of my full name, but decided to let it go. "I know you're going to flourish there and you're going to make so many new friends and meet people who can do magic, just like you. The train boards soon and you don't want to be late now! I love you." Tears welling up in his eyes, he took my hand and guided me over to the trolley. I tugged impatiently on his hand, wanting to get a move on, but he turned back. While I sighed exasperatedly, he gave Mum a quick peck on the cheek, saying that he wouldn't be long and explaining to Josie that he was going to show her a disappearing magic trick through a wall. He swiftly strolled back to me, placing one hand on my back and the other on the trolley. "You ready Becs?" He said with the same mischievous smirk I inherited from him. "Born ready" I replied with a sarcastic eye roll. My heart beat faster with the rush of adrenaline when we raced towards the wall. I looked back, and time had slowed down, I could see Mum and Josephine waving at me, and out of the corner of my eye, a flash of red hair.
I craned my neck to try and see more of the owner of the hair, but my head snapped back just when a rush of wind passed through me, it sucked the breath out of my lungs, and made my heart lurch. The busy, buzzing commotion blasted all around me as I stepped into the chaos with my Dad who clutched my trolley and kept me nearby to keep me from being swept away from the large numbers. I wasn't scared or nervous: I was thrilled. Looking around me, I saw the masses of young student; tightly hugging; frantically boarding; waving teary goodbyes, I realised with urgency the need to get onto the train and join in with them. Giving Dad one last hug, I took hold of the cage containing Patrick who was sounding constant unsettled meow's from his cage, with me. Hopping on board, I turned in the doorway to wave at Dad. I just caught him yelling that he'll see me at school. I pivoted to go find a seat in the already packed carriage, and then I saw her. Momentarily captivated by the bright red headed girl, I watched her waving to her family, her mouth spread into a wide smile and yelling her goodbyes, trying to be heard over the final whistle of the train, the closing of doors, and all the other young voices. Finally snapping out of it, I went and sat myself down in the emptiest compartment I could find, wanting some quiet. I was looking out the window, when I was interrupted by a tapping at the compartment window.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit in here? Most of the others are pretty much full…?"
