"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." - Albert Camus

Chapter One:

A small girl ventured throughout the rugged train station, looking down at the ticket in her hand. "Platform 9-3/4?" She sighed heavily, it made no sense. Was there really such a thing?'

"Um, excuse me?" A timid voice came from behind her. "But do you know where to find this Platform?" She turned around to face the boy, he had black hair and sweet green eyes.

"Can I see your ticket?" She asked with a nervous smile. The boy nodded his head handing the girl his ticket, it also said Platform 9-3/4. "I'm looking for that myself. Let's look together?"

Ahead of the two 11-year olds was a family of red heads, moving towards the pillar in between Platform 9 and 10. One of the boys ran straight into the column disappearing before their eyes.

"Woah, come on." She told the boy next to her, making her way towards the large family.

"Fred, you're next." The plump woman called to the twins and blonde girl standing with them.

"He's not Fred, I am." One of them called. Earning an eye roll from the blonde.

"Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother!"

"Oh, I'm sorry George."

"Come on, Fred. Stop messing around with your mum." The blonde girl scoffed. Getting a small smirk from the twins.

"I'm only joking. I am Fred." He said running through the wall with his twin following after him.

"Um." Her quiet voice called from behind the plump woman, earning the attention of the family. Causing the brunette to cower behind the boy next to her.

"C-Could you tell us how to.."

The woman smiled kindly at the two of them, "How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry dear. It's Ron's and Rain's first time too." She gestured to the red headed boy and blonde girl. "Now all you've got to do is walk straight at the walls between platforms 9 and 10. Best to do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous."

"Let's go together?" The blonde girl asked the brunette throwing her arm around her shoulder.

Slowly, she nodded taking a tight hold of her luggage. The two girls moved fast towards the wall, and within a split second they passed through the barrier.

At the top of the platform the sign read Platform 9-3/4. The brunette smiled to herself, it was a magical feeling. "So!" She heard the girl next her begin, "What's your name?"

With a small smile, the brunette with the dark green eyes. "Liliana May." The blonde gave her a goofy grin pushing her cart fast ahead of her to get a look at herd face.

"Rain Allen, the one and only."

"Yo! Fred, George!" Rain called to the twins a few feet ahead of them. They turned with a grin, their eyes lingering on the small girl next to Rain causing her to get flustered. "Help this cutie here with her luggage."

One of the twins, she wasn't sure which, moved towards the shy girl, "Of course ma'lady." He said with a wink lifting her heavy luggage onto the train.

"Th-Thank you." She said not daring to look in his eyes.

Liliana moved slowly through the crowded train, trying to find a compartment that didn't have so many people sitting inside it.

Finally, she found a place that sat only one small dark haired boy. Shyly she pushed the compartment door open giving the boy a smile. "Mind if I sit her?"

"No, not at all." He told her with a wide grin gesturing for her take the seat opposite of him. "I'm Harry Potter."

The small girl placed her cat's cage on the seat next to her, "Liliana May," she reached a hand out shaking the hands of the boy.
