Chapter 1- The Trip to Platform Nine and Three Quarters

Late Monday morning Lilian woke up early and went into her sister's room. Her sister, Roxy, was fast asleep. Lilian shook her. Roxy turned over and groaned softly. Then she sat up with a jolt almost knocking her little sister Lilian off the bed. Roxy jumped out of bed and scavenged through her closet looking for something to wear. Lilian reminded her that she only had ten minutes to change. At first Roxy didn't know what she was changing and hurrying for, but she knew she had to. Then as she was getting her shirt on she saw the trunks with her school stuff in them and remembered. It was going to be her first day at her new school, Hogwarts! She had always gone to their rival school of Medacara and she always wanted to go to Hogwarts instead and now she finally got her chance and she didn't want to be late! Her little sister was going too, she was going to be a first year where as Roxy should be a 5th year. Roxy hurried even faster now as she scrambled to grab the trunks and bags.

Lilian grabbed a few of the bags and hurried after her sister. She had time to help because she already had her breakfast and her school stuff was out in the car already. Roxy grabbed an orange, peeled it, and ran out the door. Her mother was waiting for her in the car with it already running.

" Hurry up and get in or you and your sister will both be late and miss the train!" her mom said as she unlocked the back door of the car.

" I'm going as fast as I can with all this stuff!" Said Roxy.

"Here let me help."

Her mother pulled out her wand.

"Alecto Musuno Smalaerital!"

All of a sudden the baggage was only about 5 inches big and not at all heavy.

"Put it in your pocket and climb in." Roxy's mom said in a rushed tone.

Roxy grabbed it all and jumped in the car. They drove as fast as they could to Kings Cross Station. There there were about 500 people waiting to get on the trains. About five to ten people were standing between the brick pillars near platforms nine and ten. Roxy, Lilian, and their mom walked over and seeing that they all had owls asked if they were on their way to school.

" Might you be on your way to school today?" she asked.

"Yes, we are going to school, why?" asked a young girl of maybe fourteen.

"Well my two daughters here are too, are you going to Hogwarts?"

"Yes, we are, thank you for keeping your voice low we really must you know." Spoke a boy around Roxy's age. He had blue eyes and brown hair. " I'm new also, the Weasleys here are helping me to get to platform nine and three quarters. Do you need help as well?" he said in almost a whisper.

"Yes, we do, could you help us?" Roxy said feeling a little bashful, luckily it did not show.

" Well all you have to do is ask Mrs. Weasley. Do you see her? She has red hair and is sort of plump and wears glasses?"

" Yes, thank you very much!" said Lilian.

" Yes, thank you." said Roxy mimicking her sister.

The three of them ran over to Mrs. Weasley and asked her if she could help them get to platform nine and three quarters.

" I'd be glad to help you." Said Mrs. Weasley.

"Thank you so much Mrs. Weasley!" Exclaimed the family of three in chorus.

"Your quite welcome. This way now, just run with your carts through the pillar here and there on the other side you will find the Hogwarts Express!"

"Let's go, quickly girls! We mustn't be late now you hear!" said their mother.

"Yes, Yes, we're going." They answered.

They hurried through the pillar and found themselves on platform nine and three quarters. They were so excited that they just hurried on the train and found a nice room towards the back of it and settled in. As Roxy sat there she just thought about things. I wonder what Hogwarts is like? Will the people there be nice? Will I make any friends? I wonder which house I'll be in? I hope it's not Slytherin! She and Lilian both thought like this while they waited to leave for Hogwarts.
