The Journey from Platform 9 ¾
By Ruby
I walked into Kings Cross Station my hands wound tight on my trolley. To say that I was nervous would be an understatement. The only thing that was keeping me standing was the trolley my hands were so tight wrapped around. I was finally going. I couldn't believe it. I had been waiting all of my eleven years for this. Andromeda Tonks my grandmother urged me along. We needed to get to the train soon.
"Come on Teddy," She urged, "the train will be there in ten minutes." We started walking faster. The closer we got to platform 9 ¾ the more nervous I got. Then we were there. We paused for a moment to look around to see if anyone was looking. We were in the clear. We started out at a walk but by the time we reached the barrier we were running. We got to the other side of the barrier and slowed down to take in the sight before us. I thought it was magnificent. I had never seen anything so amazing in my life.
My grandmother helped me get my stuff onto the train. I had a whole compartment to myself. I hugged my grandmother goodbye and settle onto the train. The train started moving when a girl entered my compartment.
"Hello, I am Victoire Weasley, can I sit here? Nowhere else seems to work." She asked.
"Go ahead." I pointed to the seat across from me. "I know you, you're Bill's daughter right? I think I met you at a family reunion."
"I am his daughter. You must be Ted Lupin then, Uncle Harry's godson." She stated.
"That's right." I replied. There was loud noise outside the compartment. I was about to go see what it was when a boy opened the compartment door.
"Sorry about that," He said, "I'm Thomas Fletching by the way; you can call me Tom."
"It is a pleasure to meet you Tom." Victoire said rather sarcastically. Tom stared at Victoire for a moment wondering whether or not to reply. He turned to Teddy apparently deciding against it.
"Can I sit here?" He asked.
"Of course," I replied. "Don't mind her. I am Teddy by the way, Teddy Lupin."
"Nice to meet you." He held out his hand and I took it to shake it. Tom walked in and I helped put his truck up into the rack. We sat down across from Victoire.
"I am Victoire Weasley for you information." She seemed slightly offended that she had to offer that information. Tom looked at her weirdly then hurriedly started talking to me about quidditch.
The lunch trolley had came and went where there was a knock on the compartment door. Victoire got up to see who it was.
"Hello?" She wondered.
"Hi," a soft voice squeaked. "I'm Valerie James. Can I sit with you guys. The compartment I had before, uh, wasn't very nice."
"Of course you can sit with us." Victoire said. "Come on you can sit next to me." She sat down and padded the seat next to her. Valarie sat down and smiled.
"Thank you." She said.
They started talking about the most random things and didn't stop all the way to Hogwarts.
A/N: I am going to do all seven years so when I get all of them done I will post an author's note letting you know that if you want to read them to go back to this chapter.
