The ride to Kings Cross station was a peaceful one, as everyone in the Potter's mini-van was far too tired to talk. Lily Potter fiddled impatinly with her top button of the muggle t-shirt her Aunt Petunia had given her for her birthday. She was glad Celestral and Kole were starting their first year too, at least she'd know some people. Of course there was Amberle, Celestral's older sister, and Brian, Kole's older brother. "Here we are" her father said pulling into the parking lot of Kings Cross. Lily jumped anxiously out and hoped from one foot to another as her father loaded hers and Tracy, her older sister, trunks unto a trolly. Then he lead the way to the Barrier that lead onto platform 9 and ¾, where they met the Hogwarts Express to go to school. "Okay Tracy, Lily you first" her mother said. Lily and her mother looked a lot alike. They both had golden-red hair and heart shaped faces. They'd even been mistaken for sisters. Lily smiled at her mother before going through. Her father followed with Joel and Joey behind them, her two youngest brothers. The barrier changed before her very eyes and platform 9 and ¾ materlized before her eyes. The train was just as Tracy had explained it. A scarlet steam engine stood before them. It was the most beautiful train she'd ever seen. "Lily!!!" she turned to see her best friend and cousin, Celestral Weasley, come running towards her. "Celes!" she cried happily, glad to have found her best friend. The two girls embraced warmly and started talking at once. "come on Girls, get on the train" Lily hugged her mother and father, and tickled Joey and Joel. "I'll send you loads of owls" she head Celestral tell her little sister, Lily, who was clinging onto Celestral and crying. Finially the train pulled from the station and disappeared from sight
