Chapter 3
Kate was pushing the crate of her belongings around as her and Montgomery walked toward the dedicated train station. Roy pulled out a watch, "Is that really the time?" He questioned. "I have to get going, Dumbledore needs to see me."
"But-" Kate started but was soon cut off.
"Here is your ticket Kate. Follow exactly what your ticket says it's very important. I will be seeing you shortly."
Kate studied the ticket Roy handed her.
"There must be a mistake, the ticket says nine and three quarters. There isn't a platform-" she looked up to where Roy was standing and he was no where to be found. She scanned the area and it seemed to be that he had just vanished. She was going to have to get used to this magic business.
Kate looked down to Boots who had the new collar on that Roy got for him, it was a blood red color with a small silver pendant that had his name engraved onto it.
"Guess it's just us huh?"
Boots let out a meow and started purring again. She patted his head, then she got momentum back into the cart and made her way to platform 9. She desperately searched for someone to help her, when she found nothing in between platform 9 and 10. She had tried to ask an attendant who worked there but he had just brushed her off like she was playing a joke on him. She was frantic not wanting to miss this opportunity. She kept scanning the area for signs that she might have missed. Then it had seemed like fate, she heard a family passing talking about the platform she desperately needed to find. That caught her attention and she followed close behind. She watched as the mother of the group instructed each of her kids to go through. The first kid was an expert, he just ran right through a wall! Kate couldn't believe her eyes. She watched the other two boys run through the wall as well.
"Excuse me!" she called and she pushed her cart up to the friendly women. "Could you- possibly-?" She stammered nervously as she gestured towards the wall. "Don't worry darling it's Ricks first time too!" She looked over to the boy she was talking about. He smiled at her sweetly, she then felt nervous in a whole different way. She averted her eyes from the boy and just caught the end of the red headed woman's sentence.
"-if you're nervous, it helps to run." Kate took a deep breath and picked up speed preparing herself for impact and when she didn't feel anything she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and couldn't believe her eyes the grand train that had Hogwarts printed in the side. 'It's real' she thought. She looked up and the sign sure enough read 'Hogwarts platform 9 3/4'. She smiled to herself as she pushed her cart towards the train ready to board.
Kate sat alone with Boots on her lap. She mindlessly stroked him while looking out the window. She heard a light knock on the door, her head turned to where the noise was coming from.
"Hey can I sit here the rest of the seats are taken."
"No go ahead." Kate gestured to the seat across from her. He sat down noisily. She recognized him immediately, he was the boy at the platform who's mom helped her.
"I am Rick by the way, Rick Castle."
"Nice to meet you. I am Kate Beckett."
Rick sat there with his mouth wide open.
"So the rumors are true! Do you have the-"
"The what?" Kate stated annoyed a little that he wasn't getting to the point.
"The scar?"
Kate laughed and pushed her bangs so he could see it.
"Yeah" she said simply.
Rick smiled at her. They both just sat in silence when they were interrupted by a lady at the door. "Anything from the trolley dears?" She questioned. Rick held up a bag of snacks he already had packed.
"I am set." He stated looking rather disappointed. Kate reached in her bag and pulled out some coins. "We will take the lot."
"Woah." Was all Rick could say.
Now they sat next to each other both digging into their candy stash. The magical wizard sweets were much different than muggle candy Kate had in her world. She let Boots sleep on her lap as she ate some jelly bean looking candy, while Rick was tearing apart a licorice wand.
"Want to see a spell my brother taught me?" He said with a mouthful. She nodded, excited for the trick. "It is supposed to turn my rat yellow." Kate giggled in anticipation as Rick cleared his throat.
Then a boy showed up in front of their cart door.
"Did any of you see a toad? A boy named Kevin lost one."
"No sorry." They both said in unison. They both looked at each other, surprised how they both answered at the same time.
The boy saw the wand was drawn.
"Yo, you doing magic? Let's see it."
Rick started chanting off a spell that once casted made a short circuit charge but nothing else happened. Rick and Kate shrugged at each other. The boy at the door came into their cart and was now sitting across from them. "My name is Javier Esposito, I am an expert at magic." Rick rolled his eyes at Kate.
"I am Kate Beckett."
"The Kate Beckett?" He questioned as the boys eyes grew wide, suddenly extremely interested in her. She responded with a nod.
"I'm Rick Castle." Rick stated as he puffed out his chest. Esposito really didn't give him much acknowledgement. So Ricks chest deflated and he crossed his arms eyeing the boy.
"Nice to meet you two, but you better put on your robes we should be arriving shortly." With that he was off. "What was his problem?" Rick asked and made Kate breakout into giggles.
Once they got out of the train Roy was there gathering up all the first years. The first years all wore robes that were gray, not marked with a house they will soon be assigned to.
"FIRST YEARS COME WITH ME!" Roy bellowed and all the students followed him to the boats. Rick and Kate got into the same boat along with Javi and the boy who lost the toad, Kevin Ryan. As they crossed the Black Lake they got closer to the school. The group started whispering about 'How excited they where', and 'How big the school was'. They kept nudging their elbows into each other's trying to convey their excitement. Once they got into the school they were greeted by Professor McGonagall.
"Hello first years welcome to Hogwarts." She then went on explaining Hogwarts in detail and briefing us on how we will so be sorted into houses.
