September 1, 1989, 8:00 AM. A lone child, face hidden by curly black hair, waits at Platform 9 ¾, watching with solemn amber eyes as the scarlet train comes to a stop. The small child stands up and begins pushing a trolley towards the train. The child concentrates on the trunk, and the trunk levitates into the air and onto the train. A small smile graces the child's lips, and the child grabs an old guitar from the trolley before climbing into the train. The child quietly finds a compartment near the back of the train before falling asleep on the seat.
