The train station was bustling and her brother was in gift shop buying her some farewell gum. She scanned the station looking for someone who might know how to get to platform 9 3/4, her stomach lurched as she remembered the conductor's leering face laughing at her when she asked. A hoot caught her attention and she whipped around and squinted. She saw a snowy owl being wheeled towards her. 'This was odd,' she thought. She backed away from the barrier she was leaned against and wheeled her trunk back towards the gift shop. She saw her brother at the register. Her eyes were locked on the owl and his companion and boy with unruly jet black hair and green eyes. She was surprised to see a faint scar, it looked sort of like a lightning bolt. Once again she was puzzled. Then to her shock she saw the boy disappear into the barrier.
"Here you go sis, my parting gift to you, if we can figure out how to get you parted," a boy slightly younger than his sister chuckled. He had with honey coloured hair and blue eyes. He looked around the platform, "Well, I wonder if mum has parked the car yet? See any Hoogwarts kids yet," he said uncertainly.
"For your information I think I might have. I'm not quite sure though," she admitted. A older version of the girl approached the brother and sister and smiled. Her hair was graying and her wrinkles were etched into her forehead. The girl stepped forward and hugged her mother tight. A whole year she was supposed to spend from her dear mother, how she would manage was beyond her, ever since her dad had died, her mother could barely remember to pay the rent without her reminding.
"I know what your thinking and I'll be fine Renwin. Right Colton?" she mind read, "Now have we figured out how to get you to that blasted platform nine and three quarters yet?" Renwin nodded in reply uncertainly. "Well then I guess this is good bye baby. Please write Hagrid said they had school owls you could use." Renwin remembered.
"Good bye mum," she began to wheel her cart away then stopped and turned around and ran back and hugged her mother and brother tight. A sob rose up in her breast, "I love you guys." She walked forward and disappeared into the barrier. She gasped in front of her loomed a red train and hundreds of kids running around greeting one another. She boarded the train and began looking for a place to sit. She came upon to near empty carriage and sat down. Three kids her age were deep in discussion but abruptly stopped when a girl noticed her and halted two boys she was talking with. They looked at her questionly and finally the girl spoke.
"Hullo, I'm Hermione Granger in Gryffindor and this Ron Weasly and Harry Potter also in Gryffindor," the boys nodded in acknowledgment.
"Um, hullo I'm Renwin Morgan, um I'm not in anything."
