May was a petite girl who had flaming orange hair and bright green eyes and now as she walked through Kings Cross Station, pushing a large trolley fit with a trunk and a cage holding a large white owl, she looked even smaller than she normally was. She walked with a tall man, who had messy black hair and green eyes like she had, and a tall lady, who had flaming orange hair and brown eyes. May knew these people as her mother and father, Albus and Rose Potter.
"Alright May, are you ready to step onto platform 9 ¾ for the first time?" Asked Albus as they reached platform 9¾.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She said but she wasn't ready. She was scared and nervous. She had such big shoes to fill. All her cousins were fabulous witches and wizards who got amazing marks in all their examinations. She felt pressurised by herself to do well as she knew that her father was such an amazing wizard. He was an auror for the Ministry of Magic and could soon be the new Minister for Magic himself. And she was evidentially the granddaughter of the most famous wizard of all time Harry Potter, her grandfather, who had defeated the most powerful dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort. The worry that she would be placed in Slytherin kept sweeping over her, but she brushed it off.
She ran at the wall ¾ of the way between platform 9 and 10 and the next thing she knew she was on another platform that had a large sign overhead reading Platform 9¾. The platform was filled with hundreds of kids who had trolleys like hers talking and saying goodbye to their parents as they boarded a steam train that said in large words Hogwarts Express. May's parents came through the barrier together pushing May forwards towards the train. May and her parents walked along the platform hurriedly, they only had 7 minutes to get May onto the train, looking for May's relatives.
"May, May," said a voice coming from a compartment on the train. May looked frantically around to see who it was but couldn't find the person making the noise anywhere. Then she suddenly came across someone with flaming orange ringlets and deep brown eyes. It was her cousin Sally Weasley, who was the daughter of her aunty and uncle, Hugo and Lily Weasley. Sally was beaming with joy at the sight of her best-friend and suddenly May seemed to forget all the nerves that consumed her because at that moment she knew that her best friend would always be there for her.
"May. You need to get on the train now or else it is going to leave without you!" Rose said in a worried tone and May's worries returned. She didn't want to miss the train so she quickly packed her stuff away and headed towards the compartment that Sally was in.
Before leaving May went over and said goodbye to her parents putting on a fake smile to hide her worries. Her father who could always see threw her, although, pulled her aside with a minute to spare and told her "May, remember whatever house you are in I will always be proud of you. My dad told me when I was going to Hogwarts for the first time that Severus, which is my middle name, has named after a Slytherin, and he was probably the bravest man my father ever knew. Remember that May, remember that."
Tears swelling in May's eyes she turned around and was shocked to feel an unexpected excitement that she knew all the first years would be feeling. As she stepped into the compartment that was filled with friends she felt that whatever the outcome she would enjoy her seven years at the acclaimed school. She sat down next to Sally and prepared herself for her first journey to Hogwarts.
