I do not own Harry Potter, that belongs to the genius known as J.K Rowling. This is just a fiction based on my friends going to Hogwarts. Enjoy!
It was a quiet afternoon at King's Cross station. That is, until a certain family pierced the silence with wails from a young girl.
"Mum, I've forgotten to buy gloves!" the short auburn haired girl screeched.
"Calm down, Lacy, I'll buy you some damned gloves and send them to school!" the girl's mother screamed. From the look on her face, you could tell things like this happened a lot. The girl quieted down, a defeated look on her face.
"I'm here, mum, I'm here!" came a voice from the end of the platform. A boy with dull orange hair and bright green eyes in tattered black robes slightly too large for him was running down the platform, tripping occasionally on his robes, holding a pair of gloves, and an orange moth was perched on his shoulder.
"Andrew! How many times have I told you not to run off like that!?" screamed the girl and boy's mother, her faded red hair falling out of the bun she had in.
"Sorry mum, but Blink flew away when we were going into the Owl Emporium, I think he was scared; besides, Lacy forgot to buy gloves, so after I found Blink, I bought her a pair!" The boy named Andrew said, tossing the gloves to his sister.
"Thank you, Andrew, you're just so...so…." the slightly younger girl began to stutter, tears of happiness in her eyes.
"Oh, stop it, he only bought you gloves!" shrieked their mother.
"Mum, people are staring at us, and if we keep arguing we'll miss the train!" Andrew whispered frantically. Their mother looked around, shocked at the number of people staring at them. Although to the other people, it was quite the scene, 2 children dressed in robes, the girl pushing a cart filled with strange items, an orange and white tabby cat circling her legs, and the boy carrying a small wooden stick in his hand, a glowing orange moth on his shoulder. And to top it off, there was a tall woman with orange hair tied into a messy bun, wearing a tall green hat on her head, draped in green and yellow robes, screaming at her children, pushing a cart filled with the same strange items as the first.
"Nothing to see here!" Their mother screamed, and everyone instantly went back to their business, clearly frightened of this woman.
"Take your cart, and put your wand away," whispered the woman, pushing the cart over to the young boy, who shoved the wood stick into his robes. "Go onto the platform and catch your train, I love you and I'll write to you if you want me to." The woman said, starting to walk away.
"Mommy, no! Stay with us!" Lacy wailed.
"Shut up, the train leaves in 2 minutes, HURRY!" Their mother screamed, and they ran quickly over to the ticket booth between platforms nine and ten, the girl named Lacey yelled "Bye Mum!" excitedly before both of the children ran right into the ticket booth, disappearing completely.
"Good bye, my little ones" said the mother, a tear of happiness in her eye. Then, as a train pulled up, everyone crowded in, and when the train sped away, the woman was gone.
