"Just run, Spirit!"

"Yeah, just close your eyes and don't think about it."

"Hello!" Spiritillia Tonks shouted over her family's constant suggestions and advice. "You're telling me to walk straight into a brick wall! A solid brick wall!" She strutted overdramatically to the pillar that divided platforms 9 and 10, put her hand against it to prove she couldn't through, and saw her hand disappear into a sea of red. A high pitched, blood curdling scream protruded from her mouth as she ran back to her mother's side, clutching her hand until it began to turn blue.

"Oh come on, Spirit!" her brother finally piped up, "I've gone through twice already, and you just proved you could do it."

"Well why don't you help her, then? Hold her hand?" suggested their mother, attempting to release herself from Spirits grip.

"No way. Andromeda will be on the other side; I don't want her clinging to my arm when I turn up."

"Fine! I wouldn't want to hold your hand anyway!" Spirit screamed, grabbing her things and storming through the barrier, and stumbling backwards with shock as she found herself on a platform that beheld the sign, "Platform 9 ¾"

"Spirit! I knew you'd be the first to go through! Where's your brother?" Andromeda said quickly, peering over at the barrier, which remained empty.

"He's coming. I see all your family's already here." Spirit said slightly resentfully as she spotted Narcissa and Bellatrix, looking disinterested and just about as happy to see Spirit as she was to see them. Narcissa was staring at a boy with hair that looked as long and as peroxide blonde as hers, and looking unimpressed at the fact that he didn't return the compliment. When she noticed Spirit talking to Andromeda, a look of disdain spread over her face and she returned to her original occupation. Bellatrix just frowned unblinkingly and Spirit as though she were some strange monkey in a zoo. Spirit turned around at the exact same moment her brother came smoothly through the portal, waiting for his know-it-all remark.

"Told you you could do it," he said as he sauntered past, grinning at Andromeda. Spirit walked across the platform to the conductor, who was about to step into the scarlet steam train.

"Excuse me," she said, her best "lost-little-girl" look spreading smoothly over her face, "but when does the train leave?"

"20 minutes, once I've checked all the carriages are ready."

The conductor stepped into the carriage, closing the door behind him, and Spirit was left alone on a large platform with no-one but her brother and his girlfriend for company, and they were too busy talking to each other to speak to her. They would have been closer, had it not been for Andromeda's mother and father, Cygnus and Druella, standing a few metres away and looking like they were throttling Ted mentally for even speaking to their daughter. Spirit sighed and walked unwillingly to where her brother was, and was surprisingly confronted Narcissa Black.

"You know, I don't like, like you."

"Great. Nice to meet you too."

A puzzled look spread over Narcissa's face as Spirit slipped past her to speak to Andi and Ted. As soon as she came over Ted looked to her in an expectant way.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah, I guess. Will we be able to get on the train yet?"

"Yeah, we should be able to. Ok, well let's get all your stuff and get into a compartment. You'd better stick with me and Andi, since you don't know anyone else."

Ted lifted her suitcase onto the steps. She picked up her new owl, Aiolos, and slid past her brother into an empty compartment. She was staring blankly out of the window when the door slid open and a girl who wasn't looking at the compartment she was going to began to speak,

"Yeah, alright, I'll write to you when I get there. Love you!"

She turned, her ginger hair coming around in long, curly strands. She sighed, and turned her head down toward a large suitcase at her feet. Ted came up next to her, stopping to let her in with her large suitcase.

"Oh, sorry; is it alright for me to sit in here?"

"Yeah, if you want to. We're not too scary." Ted said, smiling broadly. "Here, let's help you get that up."

"Thanks. I'm Lily, Lily Evans, by the way."

"Ted Tonks," he replied, heaving up the suitcase to the rack over head. "This is my sister, Spiritillia Tonks, and my girlfriend, Andromeda Black, who are better known as Spirit and Andi."

"Hi," the girls said in unison.

"Hey." Lily said, smiling in a relaxed way and sitting down on the seat. Spirit handed her suitcase to Ted and sat down next to Lily. Ted and Andi put their suitcases up as well and sat down opposite the younger girls.

Suddenly there was a loud shriek from the corridor, frightened and disgusted, with a distinctive drama queen's tone.

"Merlin, that's Narki!" shouted Andi as she jumped up and threw back the compartment door. Leaning out, Spirit saw Narcissa curled up tightly on the floor, sitting upright against a wall and staring wide-eyed, her teeth chattering.

"Narki! Narki! What's the matter?"

"I – she – he did it!" Narki screeched. "He's always hated me, and what did I do? Nothing! And now I'll have to see him all the time, he'll never leave me alone!"

"Who, Narki!"

"Him!" she screeched over-dramatically, pointing towards a dark haired boy in a heap of hysterics on the floor. His laughter subsided as he realised no-one else understood the joke. Heads were floating out of compartment doors, and all eyes were on him. He sat up, got up with as much dignity as possible in his situation.

"Merlin, you are so up-tight, Narki! Seriously, all I did was came up behind her and said boo!" he said, looking around for some belief. "Ok, so I might have said boo, and then dropped a chocolate frog down the back of her shirt; but hey," he said as Andi attempted to interrupt him, "she still took it over the top."

"Merlin Sirius, it's her first day! It's your first day, too; you'll be in detention before you know it."

"Yeah right; I'll have that school under my thumb before they know it."

"Doubt it."

"I wouldn't." he said, a mischievous grin spreading as he turned and walked into another compartment.
