This is chapter is in Emma's point of view, so I, Aloof Avenger #2, wrote this up. It's not as descriptive as the first chapter, but oh well, deal with it. If you need reminding, the next chapter will be in Stephanie's point of view, and while I'm at it, I should mention that this takes place a year before the Golden trio come into view. The first 16 or so chapters will be about Stephanie and Emma's first year and war with the Weasley's (Which you will read about later on) and the summer before they start their second year.
Enjoy and review.
"Platform nine and three-quarters. . . platform nine and three-quarters . . . platform nine and three-quarters . . ." I muttered to myself as I wandered through the train station with my ticket, trunk full of magic-ee stuff and clothing, my quite bendy 12 1/2 inch hazel wand with dragon core, and Toby-Kingsley, my Barn owl, resting in his cage.
At first when I had gotten a letter for Hogwarts, I was kind of laughing about it. Hey, I may be crazy but I didn't actually believe there was a school made specifically for witches, wizards, etc. But after thinking back on my life, I realized that it could be possible because, well, there have been a few unexplainable instances in my life. Quite often I would set something down, turn away for just a second, and when I looked back, it would be gone. It was really frustrating when I tried to draw. Then, there was a time that my brother, Wyatt, and I swore to keep a secret. We were tossing a bean bag to each other inside the house when he was seven and I was six. He threw it too hard and I squealed, held my hands up to protect myself but it never hit me. It was floating in front of me then made a U-turn and crashed into our mom's antique cabinet. She wasn't exactly happy when she found the mess.
One thing led to another and I ended up in good ol' Britain, Diagon Alley to be more specific after receiving directions from one of the professors that would be teaching at Hogwarts. That's where I got all my stuff, including Toby-Kingsley. I wasn't too keen on having an owl, but it's pretty much the only one that I can stand. I'm allergic to cats (Which sucks because I actually like them) and I just don't like toads that much. But after I named my barn owl, I fell in love with it! Plus, after talking with the shop owner, I found out I could keep in contact with my family by having Toby-Kingsley send letters back and forth.
To the left of me, I saw a rather cute red headed boy run into a wall, followed by another, and another. And guess what? They disappeared into it! Either, I'm seeing things or they're magic beings too. I looked around and saw that no one else saw that happen. How that happened, I have no idea. But hey, why not give it a shot?
I slowly rolled my cart thingy over in that direction, took a deep breath, and ran towards the wall. Instead of what logic says ("CRASH EMMA CRASH INTO THE WALL!") I went through and ended up on Platform nine and three-quarters. I smiled happily to myself and wandered around, looking over to where I should put my stuff.
Eventually, I wandered onto the the train, put my trunk in an empty compartment, and changed into my robes in the bathroom. I just wanted to wear the robes, they're really epic! Anyway, I was left to wander the train for a bit before returning to my space.
Oh god . . . what if I don't make any friends? What if they make fun of me, or ignore me like the kids did back at Brentwood and Vanguard?! What if they bully me?!
My gaze fell on a familiar blonde child. I couldn't believe it! Someone I know!
I slowly crept up behind my friend (who said she was going to boarding school) and tugged on her robes. She whipped around and stared at me in shock and amazement (Well, more of shock than anything else).
"You! What are you doing here!?" Stephanie whispered/yelled and pointed at me.
"It's not very nice to point, Stephie." I said cheekily, but secretly cheering with joy on the inside.
