The sun and moon were jut beginning to switch places in the pastel colored sky as Abby opened her sleepy eyes. She hit the off button on her alarm clock to quite the loud, blaring beeps, and threw off her covers. As she climbed out of the warm comfort of her twin sized bed a cold breeze hit her, sending the chills throughout her small frame. Once finally out of her sleepy state, she noticed the hard thunks as the rain poured down onto the roof.
'Wonderful' Abby thought. 'Just my luck!' Since Abby and her mother lived in a small, friendly, Muggle town, they walked everywhere. They didn't even own a car. Of course this meant that she was going to be taking public transportation to King's Cross, and it was at least a 20 minute walk to the nearest bus terminal that would take them there.
After a quick, mildly warm shower, and a breakfast that consisted of a stale muffin and burnt bacon, Abby flopped down on the coffee colored couch that rested against the north wall of her living room. She smiled faintly. This would be the last day she was at home until she came back for Christmas Break.
"Abigail! Are you ready?" Abby's mom called from the top of the stairs.
"Yes. Oh, and before you say anything, no my stuff isn't at the door yet." Abby replied.
Abby proceeded to run up the stairs. As she got to the top, she took a sharp left and ran to the end of the hall. Once inside her room she grabbed her trunk that contained her clothes, books, and everything else she could possibly need. She grabbed one end and carried, dragged really, her trunk across the hall and down the stairs. Her mother had grabbed the chrome plated cage that had a beautiful, gray owl perched inside. Abby had named her owl Ash because she had found it inside a chimney, with singed feathers and covered in ash.
In less than 10 minutes Abby and her mother had made it out the door, and were on their way to the bus terminal. The rain was coming down hard, and the umbrella, even with the magic Mrs. Linelle was allowed to put on it, wasn't doing any good to shield them from the onslaught of rain. Finally, after almost half an hour of walking through the pouring rain, they made it to the bus terminal.
An hour and a half later, Abby and Mrs. Linelle finally found themselves stumbling off the bus and into King's Cross Train Station.
"OK. All you have to do is run straight at this wall," Mrs. Linelle said, pointing to the wall between Platform 9 and 10, "and you'll be at Platform 9 ¾."
"That sounds legit..." Abby mused.
"Trust me." Abby's mom said smiling.
"If it was anyone but you telling me this I wouldn't." Abby sighed.
She started running, pushing her cart in front of her, straight at the wall her mother had pointed to. As she hit the wall there was a moment of pure darkness, but then the world around her erupted in every color you could possibly imagine. A magical (literally) sight formed in front of her, and Abby gasped at what she saw.
OK! So there it was! Um... no flames please. Helpful criticism is welcome. This is my first fanfic so sorry if it sucks.
First chapter was pretty short... Whatever. It'll get better, I promise. Chapter 2 should be coming soon so stick around for it! Comment if you want us to continue the story.
