Author's Note: Terribly sorry for the late update, I had a horrible cold and then went on vacation, which is excellent for getting rid of colds. Anyways, I'll try to update more frequently, but it will be difficult now that I have to catch up on my work…
Chapter 9: Hogwarts Express
Harry, Atemu, Seth and Iva had stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for the remainder of the month before September 1st. On that day, they packed all they're things and pets. They took the underground, which Seth had trouble with, and went to King's Cross. They grabbed trolleys and headed off in the direction of platform Nine and Three Quarters, which they soon discovered…
"Where is it?" Iva asked looking at a pillar that read 9 on one side and 10 on the other.
"I have no idea, does anyone know?" Harry replied.
They noticed a guard and went over to him. He gave an odd expression at the Egyptian clothing that the Egyptians were wearing.
"Umm, excuse me. Could you tell us where platform Nine and Three Quarters is?"
"Excuse me?"
After some more talking and the guard leaving with a huff saying something along the lines of 'ruddy kids'.
"Now what?" Seth asked.
"- packed with muggles of course-."
They all heard a women's voice say. They looked at each other and then followed the voice. They then saw a large group of red heads. There was a woman, several boys and a little girl. They stopped a short distance away and watched as one of the boys walked through one of the pillars between platforms nine and ten.
"Wow." Iva whispered.
Two more red haired boys went through the solid brick wall. They then walked up to the woman hurriedly.
"Um, excuse me." Harry said.
"Hullo dears." The woman said to them all, "First time to Hogwarts? Ron's new too."
She pointed to the smallest and the only remaining boy of the group. He was tall for his age and, like the others, had flaming red hair and freckles.
"Yes." Iva answered. "The thing is, um, we don't, we don't know -."
"Don't know how to get onto the platform?" She said kindly, they all nodded. "Not to worry, what you do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten, best to do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Why don't you all go before Ron. And best to do it one at a time."
Harry stepped forward and pointed his trolley towards the barrier. He started walking, then when he was closer to the barrier he started jogging, then disappeared from sight. The others soon followed.
When they were on the other side they all went to the bright red steam engine train that was waiting there. It was labelled "Hogwarts Express". After heaving their trunks onto the train, they all found a compartment and sat down. As the train was preparing to leave, Ron arrived at the door.
"Um, would it be alright if I joined you? Everywhere else is full."
"Uh, Sure."
Harry said as he inched closer towards Iva to let him sit down. They train started moving and they left the station, people waving to their families as they left. Ron soon discovered Harry's identity and gaped at him as they talked about, well, him. As Ron was telling them about his family, he looked surprised to see how intrigued everybody was about him and his family.
"It's not that impressive, really."
"That's not true." Iva said.
"I think it's brilliant." Harry added.
Their compartment door opened and a slightly rounded boy stood there.
"Um, have you seen a toad?" He asked, in a frightened voice.
"Um, no sorry." Iva replied.
He nodded, looking disappointed and left their compartment. For a while nothing happened, except for an elderly witch went by with a trolley of sweets. Harry, Iva and Atemu all bought some of everything, having never seen anything that was there. As they ate, Iva noticed someone familiar walk down the hallway. In fact, two people that looked familiar.
"Atemu, look!" Iva pointed to the door.
Outside there were two people. A small 11 year old girl with brown hair and green eyes, already wearing school robes, and a small 11 year old boy with spiky black hair with spiky blond bangs. Atemu widened his eyes and his jaw fell open.
"It can't be…"
Iva stood up and opened the door.
"IVA! YUGI! I can't believe it's you." She threw her arms around the two people.
"Iva, wow, is that really you?" The other, brown haired Iva replied.
"Yeah, oh my god! This is increadible."
"Yeah, Iva, it'S great to see you again." Yugi said, and was released from Iva's grip.
"Yeah, it is!"
"Is Atemu with you?" Yugi asked hopefully.
Iva looked at him and smiled, she then stepped aside and Yugi saw Atemu, he was now standing. There wasn't much height difference between the two at the age of 11, Yugi still being shorter. At first they just stood there, looking at each other. Then, they grinned at each other and "hugged" for a short while.
After many hellos and reunions and introductions, Atemu, Iva, Iva, and Yugi went to Yugi and Iva's compartment and chatted the rest of the way to Hogwarts. Before their arrival, the same round boy they had seen earlier looked inside their compartment but this time was with a brown haired girl.
"Excuse me, have you seen a toad? Neville here has lost his."
"No, sorry." Yugi said and they left. "You guys had better get your robes on. I think were arriving soon."
"Good idea." Iva said, she stood up and went to the door and opened it. "Ill get your robes too Atemu, just wait here." And she left.
Iva, Yugi and Atemu began talking about what they had been up to since they had separated. Iva returned with their robes and they put them on. They looked slightly out of place with their gold jewellery and tanned skin.
"So, how do we look?" Iva asked while posing.
"Not bad, not bad at all." The other Iva said.
"So, Iva, how have you been?"
"Yugi, you know, oh, wait the other Iva, sorry."
"I think we need to solve this little problem. Two Iva's will get confusing." Atemu said.
"Yeah, good point." Yugi said.
"Well, my nick name back in Egypt was Sekhmet. I wouldn't mind being called that."
"Sekhmet?" Yugi asked, curious.
Iva smiled. "Sekhmet was the goddess of war and destruction. She represents the midday sun, the hot desert wind and other stuff like that."
"I see the similarities." The other Iva added, with a grin.
"So, are we going to call you Sekhmet?" Yugi asked.
"But of course." Sekhmet smiled, slightly evilly.
