7:30 AM London, England
At the airport, Mia and Riley collected their trunks and other bags and went to change their money. They caught a cab and made their way to King's cross station. When they got out of the cab, it was colder than they thought it would be. Mia was by far the coldest, with goose-bumps clearly visible on her arms and neck and the wind blow her hair all over the place. Good thing Mia brought a sweater. They got carts for their luggage and made their way past the commuters on their ways to work. The attendant gave them a key their father left them for a locker.
"Mia, over here." He called standing by a row of lockers, Mia went over there to see a couple large packages with either Mia's or Riley's name on it, a letter set on top of the packages.
Mia & Riley ~
Here are you books and some supplies for school and some other things I thought you might like. So have fun, good luck and be very careful. Remember to send me an owl, I want to know what houses you're in and how you trip was. See you on your next Hogsmeade trip or maybe at the station when you get there, if I get off work early.
With love, Dad
"Well I hope he got everything." Riley said putting his large package on his cart.
"He usually does."
"I know. We'll open them later on the train. It could be like Christmas."
"Yeah, instead of getting cool presents, we get school books, that sounds so fun." In her all too familiar sarcastic tone.
They were use to getting to platform 9 ¾ and were use to the train ride to Hogsmeade, since at least once a year since they were little, they made that trip with their dad. They enter the platform, casually of course so no muggles would tell, to find that no one there, considering it was only about 7:30AM.
"Wow, you two are here early," said a young train attendant wearing an old fashioned bellboy's uniform while he was taking their trunks.
"We just go off the plane from America and we wanted to get a good seat." Riley said helping him lug the second trunk into the cargo hold.
"You look new, but you're too old to be first years." He said suspiciously.
"We're transfer students from the US."
"Oh," he replied as he walked away with his eyes wide in surprise.
"So where do you want to sit?" He asked as they walked through the empty train, passing the old witch stocking up her cart. "We have the front," They looked at each other shaking their heads, "naw, how about the…"
"Towards the end," she finished. They found a compartment and placed their bags there to save their place.
"You want to get something to eat; I mean we have 3 hrs to wait." Mia suggested. "I don't know about you, but I'm starved."
"Sure, I saw a McDonalds on our way up here, it's not far."
"Well, let's go."
"Yes, McDonald's breakfast." He said excitedly as they left the train.
"Where are you two going?" asked the same attendant that helped them.
"We're going to get something to eat."
"Oh," He replied and walked off.
"Do you think he always does that when he asks a question," Riley said and they just laughed and walked out of Platform 9 3/4.
A little later-- "Ah, just like at home, there's nothing better than McDonald's Breakfast," Riley said eating his third Sausage Egg McMuffin.
"Are you sure you wanna eat that," Mia said looking at his sandwich, Riley stopped chewing and looked at her questioning way.
"Why?" He said with his mouth full.
"Remember the Mad cow disease outbreak here, and you're eating sausage, also known as cow." She said smiling at him.
"What about you, you're eating it too." He said after swallowing.
"It wasn't called mad pig or chicken disease, was it? Oh...." she said looking at her watch, "We better get going."
"I'm going to get us some hamburger for the train, so what if I get mad cow disease, MOOOOO!" He sounded like a cow and was drawing strange expressions from people around them.
"Thanks, I'll get the sodas at the station for us; they only have pumpkin juice on the train."
As they entered the train station again, another family was entering. The family consisted of a mother, father, 3 boys and 1 girl with red hair, plus a boy and girl with brunette hair, definitely not related to the others at least by blood. All the children had trunks and there were 2 owls and a cat. They were getting little stares because of the strangeness of seeing teenagers with owls.
"Mum, I need to use the restroom," said a tall red haired boy next to a tall dark haired boy.
"We do to," said twin boys with the same red hair. There group made its way towards the restroom area.
"Damn, did you get enough change, Rye?" Mia said looking at the change pouring our of the coin dispenser.
"Opps, I forgot, here you get the soda, I have to use the little boy's room," he left and Mia rolled her eyes. After Riley went in, the group of boys entered.
"Boys," She said out loud shaking her head, as two girls with carts walked past her and stopped a little ways away.
"And they say girls go to the bathroom in congregations," the one with light-brown hair said looking toward the boys of their group.
Mia couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, couldn't help but over hear. I totally agree with that," she said with another laugh and they all started to laugh. Just them Riley walked up.
"What are you laughing at?" the other girls looked at him then looked at each other and smiled, they obviously though he was cute.
"Nothing just a girl thing, you wouldn't understand," she smiled at the other two, "Too complicated for the male mind."
"Rrriiight…" he said like in Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers movies. "Where are the sodas?"
"Huh… in the soda machine."
"Argh, come on," he said as he turned.
"Boys can be so temperamental, don't you think?" She said in a laugh to the girls.
"Definitely," the brown haired girl chuckled as two boys came up, the red haired boy and the dark haired boy. Mia laughed, looked at the two boys and left as her brother called her again.
"Who where they, Hermione?" the tall dark haired one said.
"Oh, some muggles we were talked with, Harry," she said.
"That guy was cute though, don't you think," Ginny asked Hermione. She nodded with a big smile.
"The girl was quite nice too," one of the twins said, it was probably George. "Huh, Ron?" He elbowed him in the ribs.
"Uh…" he said and turned red.
"And they were Americans!" Ginny said with excitement, she had never seen Americans in person before.
"How do you know?" Ron said.
"Really, they had American accents." Hermione said the looked at Ginny, "Boys." They said together.
Meanwhile, Mia and Riley were at the soda machine getting sodas for the trip. Mia was standing drinking one when she looked at her watch.
"Hurry, we got to go." He finished stuffing the sodas into his backpack and the walked fast back to the barrier. While right in front of the barrier, Riley dropped all his change.
"Awe, crap," he said.
"Man, you idiot, can't you hold on your to friggin' change?"
"Shut up and help me." He said in a demanding tone.
"Oh, you stupid ass." She said exasperatedly as she bent down to help.
"Look, there's more over there by the wall." She pointed for him to see the change by the wall.
A little ways away, the large group of people came up. The mother and father stopped abruptly causing the kids behind them to crash into each other.
"We have to wait; there are some muggles in front of the barrier to the platform," The father said.
"Oh, those are the people we saw earlier," Ginny said as they watched the boy and girl argue.
"Well I hope they hurry up and move or you'll be late for the train." Molly Weasley said in concern.
"Do you think I could go talk to them?" said Arthur Weasley to his wife.
"No, let us wait a minute." Molly said in reply.
"I swear you get dumber by the day, don't you?"
"You know you're not so perfect either."
"Wanna bet. As a matter of fact I am." She said sarcastically.
"Okay you are, sheez I'm sorry. God, I guess I can't do anything right."
"No you can't" she agreed sounding very annoyed.
"Bruja." He said under his breath.
"What did you say?" she said still annoyed, picking up her book bag and the bag from McDonalds.
"I said," he spoke louder, "Bruja!"
"Thanks, I'll take that as a complement. You do know that works both ways, doesn't it?" She said in a matter of fact manner. "Now get in there, Cavaron." She said that angrily. He looked at her with narrow eyes then turned around and walked very slowly so Mia pushed him into Platform 9 ¾.
The group watched this in amazement.
"There wizards, I can't believe it." Ron said in astonishment.
"Well, I guess this is going to be a very interesting year," said one of the twins.
"Cool," Harry said under his breath as they walked toward the barrier.
Back on the train, Mia and Riley made their way back to their saved compartment, getting strange looks on their way. Some whispered to their friends about if they were muggles, considering they were dressed so much like muggles. They just ignored the whispers and closed their compartment door. People kept passing their compartment just to see them, Mia and Riley decided to wave to all the people that passed, you know, to be nice.
The train ride to Hogsmeade was quite uneventful. Other than watching people looking into their cabin and listening to music loudly and sleeping, it was quite boring. Although they did get to open the packages from their father, but as expected it was just their school books and some potion ingredients, which wasn't very exciting.
After falling asleep for about the 10th time, they woke with a start to shouting coming from the next compartment.

A/N:
For those who don't know, 'Bruja' means witch in Spanish, and 'Cavaron' is a profanity, or at least that's how my mom uses it. Oh well if I'm wrong.
I know I son't follow the time period (1991-1998) Oh well.
Also if you like the story or are at least a bit interested, please review and I'll put up the next chapter. I just want to know if anyone is reading this.
*thanks*
