A/N: Okay well you might of wondered if this is really a Romance story. Well I wasn't sure if it was going to be one so I decided to take off the little "romance" label since I got a review about it.

To the counter, I am sorry that you feel that there are too many romance stories but that does not mean I'm going to stop writing this story. I like it, so you can deal with the fact that it might not be up to your standards. If you do not enjoy this story, please go find another one to enjoy.

Onto Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Hogwarts Express

Hailey awoke two weeks later to her mom packing all her things into her new trunk. Holly, her firey red owl, was just coming back from a night full of adventure. Hailey dressed and headed out the front door, into the car, heading for the train station.

"Hailey dear I want to tell you that I love you so much," said Hailey's mom before they got to the train.

"Mom why are you telling me this now? We aren't even at the train yet." said Hailey in a worried voice.

"I know but I have to go to well I have to go to work now." said Hailey's mom wondering if her daughter was going to get mad at her.

"Okay mom, I understand" said Hailey as she hugged her mom goodbye.

"Here is your ticket, you probably wont know how to get to the train but just find a wizard to help you." said Veronica, handing Hailey her train ticket.

"Good-bye mom." said Hailey.

Hailey looked at her ticket and then headed off the Platform 9 ¾.

Hailey looked around for a sign of the train, or even a wizard or witch. Then she spotted him. The boy who was in the wizard shop.

"Hiya Harry!" said Hailey pushing her cart over to Harry.

"Bye Hagrid! Oh hello Hailey." said Harry as he waved goodbye to Hagrid.

"Do you happen to know where the train is?" asked Hailey.

"No but maybe we can find someone who does." said Harry.

"Packed with muggles, always the same. Come along, this way." said a woman who was leading a pack of kids.

"Come on lets follow them." said Harry.

"You first Percy, go on now." said the woman as the boy ran straight through the brick wall. Harry and Hailey blinked, they looked around wondering where the boy went.

Next went two twins and then right before a small boy was going to push his cart, Harry let out a little noise to let them know they were there.

"Oh hello dears. Are you wondering how to get onto the platform? Oh its very easy my dears. Just run straight through the wall between platform 9 and 10. Its Rons' first time too." said the woman.

Harry ran straight through the wall, then Ron went through, last was Hailey who almost screamed as she ran at the wall but went right through it.

Hailey came out from the wall and looked at the freshly polished train. She looked up at the sign that said "Platform 9 ¾". Hailey felt as if she was in a new world full of wonderful people and things.

"Hailey, come on over here!" yelled Harry who was standing with the red-headed boy named Ron but then walked off seeming rather interested in the two twins.

"Hi, I'm Hailey Peterson" as she walked over to Ron and shook his hand.

"Hi I'm Ron Weasley!" said Ron a little too excited.

"Fred, George!" yelled Mrs. Weasley, "I told you not to put that hyper spell on your brother!"

Harry laughed at the twins and then walked onto the train.

"Well I guess I will catch up with you two later." said Harry as he walked onto the train.

Hailey soon stepped onto the train but looked back onto the platform wondering when she would be seeing her mom again. She walked down the hall looking for an empty compartment, or at least looking for Harry to sit with.

Hailey eventually found Harry in a compartment sitting alone.

"Hiya Harry!" said Hailey as she walked into the compartment.

"Hi Hailey"

After about seven minutes of talking, the compartment door opened again. Ron entered looking very dirty.

"There aren't any other compartments available, mind if I join you guys?" asked Ron looking very afraid.

"Sure come on in," said Harry.

"I'm Ron, Ron Weasley, if you didn't already know that."said Ron who then nodded his head towards Hailey.

"Hiya Ron!" said Hailey smiling.

"Hey Ron. I'm Harry, Harry Potter" said Harry.

"Harry PPPotter?" said Ron now sounding like Professor Quirell.

"Yes." said Harry.

Hailey laughed at the starstruck Ron and the oblivious Harry.

This is going to be a interesting year with these two. Thought Hailey.
