Fate - part 4
Disclaimer- Lily and James and Petunia belong to J. K. Rowling. I own the other characters.
Lily sighed and settled back onto her bed contently. Her mind was spinning a mile a minute about what tomorrow might be like. Lily was a little scared about starting a Hogwarts. What if she was the only one who didn't have magic parents? What if everyone else already knew some magic?
Lily knew it was stupid to be scared. After all, James had magic parents, and he didn't really know any magic yet.
I really should go to sleep. Lily thought, but it seemed impossible. She kept seeing Diagon Alley, where they had went that day to get school supplies. Luckily, the Potter's offered to take Lily when they went, so Lily's parents didn't have to come and drag Petunia along. Petunia wouldn't have liked it at all. She would have embarrassed Lily.
But Lily's day had been Petunia free and loads of fun. They had gone and gotten their schoolbooks from Flourish and Blotts - Lily still couldn't get over how all the pictures moved. Then they went into Ollivanders and bought wands for Lily and James. Lily's was ten and a quarter inches, swishy made of willow and good for charm work. After that they had gone and eaten lunch in the Leaky Caldron, then gone to Robes for all Occasions and gotten black school robes and pointed black hats.
When she go home that night, she showed her purchases to her parents, and then put them in her trunk to take the next day. Then she'd laid down and tried to go to sleep.
The next morning seemed to come early, and soon Lily was in the car with her parents and Petunia going to the train station. They got there with ten minutes to spare. Lily hugged her mum and dad, and then Petunia, then she walked off toward the platforms.
Lily looked at her ticket. " Platform nine and three quarters." She read. Looking up she saw platform nine, and platform ten, but none in between. Lily looked at the ticket again, thinking she's read it wrong, when a familiar voice yelled" Lily!"
She turned around and thought she had never been so glad to see James. HE and his family walked over to Lily. "DO you know how to get to the platform dear?" Asked James mom, Ginny.
Lily shook her head.
" It's really easy." Matt told her. All you do is walk strait at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Here. Watch me." Matt started walking strait at the barrier and then, suddenly, he just disappeared.
"Why don't you go with James? If you start to get nervous, run, otherwise you'll crash into it" Jason didn't realize that this scared Lily even more.
"C-crash into it?" She asked nervously.
" Don't worry." Ginny patted her on the shoulder reassuringly. " Now hurry up or you'll miss the train."
Lily and James both positioned their luggage trolleys in front of them and started running at the barrier. Lily closed her eyes when she got close, expecting to crash into the barrier.
Crash!
