Sade was looking out the window of the taxi watching the other cars go by. She had sold her family's house for Muggle money then got most of it transferred to wizard money. In all the wizard money from the house and the money she found out that her parents had saved, she had a nice sized fortune. She sent her money to Dumbledore to have put in Gringotts for her. She had packed up all her belongings and bought a plane ticket for the closest airport to the train station, which was about two miles from each other.
The term had already started, so she couldn't get the school robes, and would have to wear her uniforms from her wizard school in LA. The school that she had gone to was Stienrei in one the Malibu canyons. They had given her all her past grades and told her that she would be a 5th year at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore had told her that the woman she was to look for was named Mrs. Molly Weasley. He described her as a short, stout red-haired woman, and that she wouldn't be hard to miss.
The man driving the taxi kept looking back at her. She noticed but tried to act like she didn't, though she wasn't surprised. Many people would look at her when they saw her. She was about 5'6, well proportioned figure, waist length reddish black wavy hair, emerald green eyes, and skin as white as a swan's feather.
The taxi stopped in front of the train station, and the driver helped her load her things onto a trolley. She had also brought along her pet bat, Crombebbie, Ebby for short. He had been given to her for her 9th birthday, just as she started school. She looked up after securely fastening Ebby onto the trolley and saw Mrs. Weasley immediately, and walked over to her. Mrs. Weasley gave her a warm smile.
"Hello Sade! It's wonderful to meet you," she said and hugged her. "Well now, let's get going. The train's waiting for you. The conductor wants to leave promptly about 3pm."
Mrs. Weasley gave Sade her ticket. She looked down at it and stopped.
"Mrs. Weasley, this ticket says that the gate is 9 ¾. How can that be?"
"That's why I'm here, my dear. Mr. Dumbledore was sure that you would be wondering about that."
By then they had reached the barrier in between gates 9 and 10. Mrs. Weasley told Sade that she has to walk through that barrier. Sade looked at her in shock, and Mrs. Weasley laughed and told her to trust her. So Sade decided to, closed her eyes and walked right up to the barrier, expecting to hear a crash, but instead her felt a slight breeze. She opened her eyes to see a big red steam engine and two passenger cars. Mrs. Weasley walked up behind her and told her that this is the train to take to Hogwarts.
"Normally there are many more cars on it because all the students and any new teachers that take the train, but since it's just you, they didn't need all those."
Sade thanked her for her help while the driver loaded her luggage into the train. She kept Ebby with her. Mrs. Weasley said goodbye and walked back through the barrier. Sade got onto the train and went in the second compartment to the left. She sat down Ebby's cage on the seat in front of her, opened the cage door and Ebby came out and perched himself on the windowsill.
The train began to move. She decided to go and ask the conductor how long the trip would be. He said that it would be 4 hours. Sade went back to her compartment. She looked at her watch and it said 3:15, so she decided to rest a while so she wouldn't be too tired when she got there. At 6pm, she woke up and saw that Ebby had also fallen asleep, hanging for the ceiling. She went and got her one of her Stienrei uniforms. Even though she didn't have a Hogwarts uniform, it would still be best to at least wear some sort of uniform. There where four different uniforms for her to choose from, each with a shirt and either pants or shirt to match, and all of them with made of black leather, but they all had different colors. The top was a new style corset. It tied up the back, and had black pearl buttons in the front. The front had one strip silver, and one strip metallic red. The silver strip started from the left, the red from the right, and went around meeting in the back. The sleeves were spaghetti, then connected to long bell sleeves made of silk. The leather pants had the same colour pattern to them. She also put of ankle high leather boots, and a long bellowing metallic black cloak. She put her dark hair up in a high ponytail with some of her hair still framing her face.
By then the train was almost over, so she went back into her compartment, and put Ebby back into his cage. She looked at her watch again. It was just past 7pm. The conductor came back to help her take her things outside. There she saw that largest man she had ever seen.
