Chapter 1

Frances stormed out of the house in a rage. The door opened itself before she even got over to it, but she was so angry she didn't even think twice about it. Stuff like that happened from time to time anyway. When she was happy, everything around her seemed to become brighter, but she always took it for granted, thinking it was because she was happy things had more vibrant colors.
But most would agree the oddest thing was when she would dress up, for Halloween and such. Putting on an old lady costume would instantly give her wrinkles, and cells don't just die to create wrinkles for a simple costume. When she dressed as a boy, her chest instantly became smaller and her shoulders became a bit broader. Once she dressed as a cat, and she sprouted whiskers that were three inches long, three on each side. Terrified that such a thing had happened, she immediately took off the costume and handed it back.
These things had made her seem a bit weird to a lot of people, but that didn't mean she was always alone because of these freakish happenings. But there was one time she was alone, and that one time was today.
Her friend, Jill, had told her that Frances' boyfriend had cheated on her, with Jill. Her other friends, when Frances complained about the situation to them, pointed out that she new Jill had a really big crush on him when she went out with him, but Frances was told it was just a thing, like a oh my God he is SO hott kind of thing. Obviously this wasn't true, but Frances didn't know.
So the few people she knew would be on her side had left for vacation, since it was Spring Break and they were all going skiing, but she and her family were going to England, and the final straw was when her mother told her to clean her room and fix her bed. Nobody to tell her problems to, she yelled at her mom and said it was her room and if her mother wanted it clean then she should clean it herself, and ran out of the home. She knew this wasn't a particularly good idea, since they were all going to London tonight and they needed to leave for the airport in an hour, but she couldn't deal with anything right now. She ran to the park, breathed and calmed herself down, and started the trek back to her house, glad that her eyes were too dry to cry. She was going to enjoy the last day in California for a week, and proceeded to walk back to the house.

Ron was going to stay in Hogwarts for Easter Break with Harry. Why not, he figured. His mother was just going to be stressed out by all the Order of the Phoenix stuff anyway. And he was a prefect, so he had to stay. Plus, Voldemort was loose, and Harry would pretty easily be caught in trouble with Him because Harry was the main target for all of Voldemort's stuff anyway. Hermione was gonna stay, too, so they'd protect Harry together, not that he needed too much of it. Ron would much rather be protected when it came to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named than do the protecting, but he figured Harry is pretty good at wand-to-wand combat and that he'd only need a very little extra help to defeat Lord Voldemort. Plus, Hermione was basically fearless, while Ron was... not. He also had a lot of homework to do and was pretty much swamped. But he was so tired, he figured a little rest wouldn't do him too much harm, right? Just a bit of a cat nap...

The plane had landed an hour ago, and Frances and her parents with her three siblings, one older brother and two younger sisters, were sightseeing, having already put their stuff in the hotel. What possessed them to go to the train station she didn't know, because usually her father's not that big of a fan of trains. But he said he'd heard from a friend, whom Frances always thought strange and off, and seemed like he was always just about to let you in on this big secret, like there are aliens among us, but stops just in time; well, that same man told her father that platform nine and ten are great spots to be in London. Frances looked at them and didn't see what was so great about it. She leaned on the wall halfway between the two platforms while her dad and mom looked around for the reason of this place's greatness and her two younger sisters fought and her older brother flirted with a British girl when she suddenly fell through the wall. She looked around and found herself in another train station with people wearing cloaks and waving sticks about.
What is this place? she thought. Where am I?

Alright, this is the first chapter. I'm working on the second. It's pretty short, huh? Oh well, it's a good place to stop, I thought. Please review, I want to know what you thought. Thanks, y'all.
