I just realized that my ticket says to go to Platform 9 ¾! How are
you supposed to get there? I've been to King's Cross plenty of times, and
I haven't ever seen a Platform 9 ¾! Hermione just shrugs and says, "I'll
show you when we get there," whenever I ask about it. Sisters can be so
annoying!

Wow! Hermione told me just to shut my eyes and run into the "solid" wall between Platforms 9 and 10. I did it, and boy did I get a surprise! There, when I opened my eyes, was a brilliant scarlet steam engine! I saw Hermione behind me, and she didn't look like she had run through. She helped me move my trunk into an empty compartment and then she left to go sit in the Prefect compartment. "Great," I thought, "she just left me all alone in a train full of strangers. I'll kill her for this."
Just as I was about to dash out and find Hermione, three boys stepped in. They were each lugging a heavy trunk. I quickly moved forward to help them, but the leader waved me off. "We just want to know if we can fide in this compartment with you as we've been kicked out of.let me see. five different compartments," he said.
"Of course you can; you don't think that I'm that big, to have to ride in a compartment by myself, do you? Plus, I was about to scream because my sister just stuck my stuff in here and left."
They all moved their trunks in and stored them. After that was done, we all sat down on the red vinyl upholstered seats. The first boy, who had spiky dark brown hair and ice blue eyes, introduced himself as Daniel Gareth. The other two had black hair, brown eyes, and were deeply tanned with quite a few freckles. They introduced themselves as Breck and Colby Rykert. I then introduced myself.
Daniel remarked, "Do you have a sister named Hermione by any chance?"
"Yeah," I replied, "she's the one who ditched me."
"My sister wrote to me last year, and she said that Hermione Granger was Viktor Krum's girlfriend," commented Daniel.
"Well," I said, " I don't know who Viktor Krum is, but Hermione's boyfriend invited her to go over to his place for part of the summer. Mum and Dad let her stay for two weeks."
"Yeah, that's her. Viktor Krum is the best seeker on any national Quidditch team, although Harry Potter is the best one that has ever attended Hogwarts." replied Breck.
"Really? I met Harry this summer and he seemed to know a lot about muggles," I commented.
"Of course!" Breck nearly shouted, " He grew up not knowing a single thing about the wizarding world or even knowing that he himself was a wizard!"
I was flabbergasted. "And he still was the best ever Hogwarts seeker?" I asked.
This time Colby answered, "Yup! He's been on the Gryffindor Quidditch team ever since his first year. He was the youngest house player in over a century!"
