Finding Fantasy
1~ The Barrier
Charmaine walked through the filled station. She was staring down at the tiny piece of paper the orphanage had given her. It read 'Fox Pointe Station, Platform 3. France- London.' She sighed heavily and tossed her wavy mane of raven black hair. Picking up her brown suitcase, she proceeded down the crowded walkway. All of a sudden, she thought she saw a person walk through a barrier!
"Now I really am loosing my mind, aren't I?" she told herself, shaking off the thought.
Then it happened again. She was sure of it. A person with brown curls walked through the same spot the blonde boy had. Charmaine brushed the odd feeling away and spotted the conductor.
"Bonjour! Pouvez-vous m'aider?" She waved the rotund man over. He took the scrunched up piece of paper and stared at in contently.
"Oui, Mlle, take a left down there and you will reach the platform."
Charmaine looked at the man weirdly. Who would guess that they could speak her language, too?
"Thank you, sir." She said sweetly.
"May I ask you one more thing? What is so special about that barrier?" Charmaine questioned pointing to the barrier about three back. The conductor looked at her like she was stupid before slowly answering,
"Nothing, miss. Why do you ask?"
Charmaine frowned at him. Hadn't he seen the people go through it like it wasn't there? The last thing she needed was people thinking she was a nutcase so she shook her head and answered,
"Nothing, thank you for your help."
The rosy- cheeked conductor nodded his head in agreement and wobbled over to his platform.
Her body taking over her mind, she curiously walked towards the odd barrier sighting. Taking a deep breath, she ran full speed, ready for the tremendous hit.
What happened baffled her in a way that was never possible. All around her were children, lugging huge trunks into a packed train labeled 'Hogwarts Express.' Above Charmaine was a sign that read 'Kings Cross Station, Platform nine- and- three- quarters.' Her jaw hanging open, a skinny boy with jet-black hair and a strange scar upon his forehead went up to her.
"Need any help? Bloody hell, this place is a zoo when there are so many students! Are you new? I haven't seen you before."
Charmaine brushed pass the annoying boy, ignoring his many questions. The clock on the wall said 10 o' clock.
'Darn! I will miss my train!' It was leaving now and she had forgotten her suitcase at the odd barrier.
The boy came back to her and started questioning even more. She ran from him, back at the wall that she had entered this strange place from. Just as she was about to go through, something hit her hard in the stomach, sending her flying backwards.
"What the hell happened? Oh my gosh, who are you?" Charmaine heard before everything went black. She was plunged into darkness, in a world she didn't belong in.Or did she?
