Topanga woke up the next day to her mother shaking her. "Topanga get up we have to go."

Topanga jumped up out of bed. She was so excited. She quickly changed into a black skirt and a red shirt. She grabbed her trunk and walked downstairs to meet her mother.

Mariana turned to Topanga. "Here I got you this, while you were sleeping." Mariana pointed to a cage behind her. Inside was an owl; it was a white owl with blue eyes.

Topanga's eyes filled with excitement. "Thank you so much Mum!" She hugged her. "I love it and I know just the name for him. I am going to name him Milo." Topanga smiled.

"Great. Now we better get going so you don't miss your train." With that they packed all the stuff in their car and drove to the Train Station.

It was loud inside. Many people were walking around and running here and there. The place was filled with from the trains and was very packed.

"We have to find Platform Nine and Three-Quarters" Mariana called over the noise.

"But Mum, there is no platform Nine and Three-Quarters." Topanga said.

"Ah you didn't read that letter carefully enough did you?" Mariana laughed.

She stopped between platforms nine and ten pulling the letter from her pocket. "It says you have to run into a barrier between platforms nine and ten."

Topanga looked at her mother like she was crazy. Until she turned around and saw a boy that looked equally confused as she did. Only he was all- alone. He had an owl just like hers. It was a snowy owl. She smiled at the boy, knowing that he must be looking for the same place that she is. She approached him while her mother tried to figure out what to do.

"Erm. Hello. I'm Topanga. You wouldn't by any chance be looking for Platform Nine and Three-Quarters would you?"

"Hello Topanga. Actually yes I am. I don't understand. You see I was with my friend Hagrid and He just seemed to have disappeared. I don't know how to get to the platform. Oh sorry, I am Harry by the way."

Topanga smiled. "Nice to meet you Harry. Well didn't it say in your letter how to get there?"

"No it didn't. I never got to read the whole letter. It's a long story." Harry said looking around. He spotted an odd looking family.

They seemed to be about five children and one mother. They all had red hair. He pointed this out and Topanga turned around also staring at the family. She over heard the mother talking. "Every year this place is packed with muggles."

At hearing the word muggles, Mariana turned around. "Umm.excuse. You wouldn't happen to know how to get to platform nine and three-quarters would you?" Mariana asked the woman with the bright red hair.

"Yes actually. It is quite easy. All you have to do is run right into the barrier. Show them Percy won't you dear." The woman said.

Percy took his trolley and ran at the wall, once he reached the wall the wall looked as if it turned to liquid and Percy disappeared into the wall.

"I'm Molly Weasley by the way. And this is Fred, George, Ronald, and Ginny." She said pointing to her children.

Mariana smiled. "I'm Mariana Brinkley and this is." Mariana turned around not seeing Topanga. "Topanga where are you."

"I'm over here Mum." Topanga called grabbing Harry and taking him with her.

"Oh ok. This is my daughter Topanga and her er.friend?"

"Oh this is Harry." Topanga answered.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Brinkley and Mrs. Weasley. I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Harry stated

"Harry Potter!" Molly coughed. Fred and George looked at the boy. They couldn't believe it. Ginny started to blush and Ron smiled.

Topanga looked at the family. "Umm.What's wrong with you guys."

"Its great to meet you Harry." Fred and George said.

Topanga looked at everyone confused. She had no idea how everyone knew him.

Mariana looked at her watch. "Molly we best be getting the rest of the children through the train is about to leave."

"Oh yes." Molly answered. "Ok now the rest of you. Fred you next."

"I'm not Fred he is." Fred said.

"Honestly woman and you call yourself our mother." George stated.

"Ugh.sorry George."

"Only joking I am Fred." Fred said running into the barrier with George following after him.

Topanga laughed at the twin's antics. Ron followed after the twins, and then Harry and Topanga went through the barrier. Later Ginny, Molly, and Mariana followed them.

Topanga looked at the huge train that said Hogwarts Express on it. She smiled with excitement. She turned to Harry. "You excided Harry?" Topanga asked.

"Yes very this definitely beats having to stay with Dudley."

"Dudley?" Topanga questioned.

"Yes my cousin. I will tell you another time."

"Ok then." Topanga smiled and their trunks disappeared into the train. Mariana and Molly kissed and hugged their children good bye. And they all boarded the train. Ginny stood next to Molly and Mariana stood with them. They waved as the train left the station.

Topanga waved back and her and Harry went to find a compartment to sit in.
