Dear Dairy, I'm writing this while sitting on the Hogwarts express, on my own. We arrived at the station just before eleven this morning. Libby and Brittany ran straight at the wall in between platform nine and ten and when they were about to hit the wall they disappeared. I looked at Robbie who grinned, "Come on," He started to run at the wall, I took a deep breath and ran after him. I'd been on platform nine and three quarters before but this time it felt different, I was actually boarding the train to Hogwarts. Robbie disappeared just as I was about that catch up with him. I realised that I was about to hit the wall so I tried to slow down but I couldn't so I braced myself for impact but it never happened. I had appeared on platform nine and three quarters. I couldn't see Libby or Brittany anywhere but Robbie stood in front of me, "Welcome to platform nine and three quarters," he said, "I've been here before," "I know but it's different this time." My parents suddenly appeared at my side, "Go and get on the train love," My mum said to me, "and you Robbie," "And remember to write to us tonight so as to tell us what house you in," My dad cried. Robbie took my hand and pulled me on to the train. Now when I said I was alone on the train that's not entirely true as it's virtually impossible to get a compartment to yourself. I'm sitting in a compartment with Robbie's friends but they aren't paying any attention to me so I am as good as on my own. Robbie is off doing his prefect duties but even if Robbie was in the compartment I doubt he would be paying me much attention. I mean he'd ask me if I was Ok every now and then but he'd be with his friends, catching up from the summer. I always find it slightly awkward when Robbie is with his friend and I'm there too because he wants to look after me but he also wants to chat to his friends so it feels like he isn't giving his full attention to either me or his friends! Therefore when Robbie is with his friends I try to keep out of his way (which is actually easier said than done as Robbie has taken it upon himself to look after me.) So when Robbie said I could sit with me I was a little reluctant to follow but because I didn't really have anywhere else to go so I followed Robbie. I should really go and get changed into my new Hogwarts robes (the ones I bought in Madam Malkins) but I don't know where to change as I am in a compartment full of boys therefore I am not changing in here. I think I will go and find Robbie as he should be able to tell me where to get changed so I shall do that and I will write to you later.
