Kings Cross Station was ultimately crowded, but they eventually found their way to the barrier. A family that all had red hair and freckles were beginning to board the train. Two boys took off at a run, and they had looked exactly alike. Ryo had read about how to get onto the platform, but the rest of the girls looked amazed at the acts.

"Excuse me, miss, is that all you do, run at the platform?" Their mother asked, curiously. "Yes, that's all you have to do! It's quite easy. Is this your family?" A chubby British woman asked, amazed. "Yes. But technically only these two are mine, the rest are my step daughters." Mom said, putting her arms on Nika and Adri's shoulders, who quickly shrugged her off.

"Would you look at that Ron? A family as big as ours!" The other mother said, patting her son on the shoulder. Her daughter had already run through, but Ron was too slow. "By the way, I'm Molly Weasley, and this is my son Ron. Ginny was the girl that ran through, and Fred and George before her. I've also got Percy, Charlie, and Bill who graduated a while ago." Molly said, proudly.

"I'm Kathrine, and these are my daughters Nika and Adri. Nika is graduating this year, and Adri next. And then these are my stepdaughters, all in the same year. This is Kaeria, Nika, Armella, and this is Ryo." She said, pointing at them in turn. Ron was staring intently at Armella. Seems he was quite smitten with her.

"Mother, can we please get on the train now? I want to find a good seat." Ryo said, her hands on her hips, and her voice cool as usual. Ron thought she seemed dreadfully like Malfoy but he didn't say anything.

"Yes of course. I'll send you on your way, and I'll hang out on this side of the barrier and chat with Molly. Is that okay?" Kathrine asked Molly. "That's great! I'll just send Ron on his way." Molly began. But when she looked back he was gone, already on the platform.

Once through the barrier, Ryo headed directly to the back of the train. Ron and two others were sitting in the back car. "Sorry, I was just looking for a place to sit." Ryo said and then began to walk away, but was stopped. "You can sit here, we've plenty of room." A boy with jet-black hair said quickly. "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to be intruding on anything." Ryo said almost sarcastically. "That's fine, you're not." The boy said, smiling. "This is Ron and Hermione, and I'm Harry." Harry said, pointing to each of them in turn. "I'm Ryo. Ryo Desdemona." She said, taking a seat next to Harry. Harry was looking at her in a way he usually eyed Cho Chang.

As Ryo was getting something out of her carryon bag, Hermione turned to Ron and whispered, "I think Harry's got a crush." "He'll be sorry. I met her earlier, and she sounds too much like Malfoy. She has like, six sisters!" Ron said, amazed and bewildered. "So, do you have any family?" Harry asked her, eager to know more. Ryo turned to him and answered, "I have three sisters and two stepsisters. What about you?" "I live with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin. My parents died when I was a year old." Harry said, a little saddened with his past. "I'm sorry to hear that." She actually sounded sorry for him. ~*~

"Excuse me, can we sit here? We don't have anywhere else to sit." Armella, Nika D, and Kaeria asked a girl who was sitting by herself. "You wanna sit. with me?" The girl asked, amazed. "Yeah, if you'll let us." Kaeria said. "Sure! I'm Annie." The girl said scooting over. She was obviously happy to have someone to sit with. "I'm Kaeria, and these are my sisters, Nika and Armella. We have another sister, but she went off on her own. We also have two step sisters who are sitting at the front." Kaeria said, sitting down along with her sisters and new friend.

"Wow, what are they're names?" Annie asked, curiously hopping she would be able to have more friends.

"Ryo is our other blood sister and our stepsisters are Adri and Nika Nia. Our last name is Desdemona." Armella replied, eager to speak to someone.

"Oh, I forgot. My last name is Ripley. Kind of boring, but oh well." Annie said. She looked a bit geeky compared to the sisters, but they didn't care.

Annie had frizzy brown hair and freckles. She had plain brown eyes, and wore braces. She was short and skinny, and also wore small-framed glasses.

"Ours is just weird." Nika said, finally speaking up. "It sounds cooler than mine! Mine is just dull. Oh well, I guess we all have something about us."

~*~ Adri and Nika sat in an empty car at the front of the train. "So, do you know how we're going to be sorted?" Adri asked Nika, who usually knew these things. "We will be sorted in front of only the prefects and our sisters. Oh, and McGonagal and Dumbledore of course." Nika said. "And they are." Adri stupidly asked. She wasn't the brightest in the pack.

Nika sighed, obviously annoyed. "They're our professors. Well, actually, Dumbledore is our headmaster, and McGonagal is our Transfiguration professor." Nika said, not looking up from her schoolbook. "Oh, okay." Adri said, pulling her ponytail into an upside down bun. "Then we will be led by our prefects to our house tables, then introduced in front of the whole school by our prefects." Nika finished off.

Adri's mouth fell wide open in horror and shock. "In front of everyone?" She asked, horrified. 'No, not in front of everyone! This can't be happening to me! I don't want this to happen!' These thoughts and more ran through her head, horrified at the mere thought of even standing in front of a crowd of people.

"Yes, in front of everyone. They're just going to name us off, and have us stand up. It's not like were going to have to give a speech or something!" Nika said with a small chuckle.

A sigh of relief escaped from Adri, but she was still nervous.
