As they approached the entrance to 9 ¾, Kiera stared at the wall.
"So how are we suppose to get in there?" she asked.
"Just watch hermione." Her dad replied as hermione walked through to plank 9 ¾.
Kiera stood amazed. "Are you serious! That's preposterous!"
Her dad chuckled. "Don't worry about it, I'll go with you."
She nodded in agreement. Her dad took hold of the cart, and they started towards the wall. She clenched her hands tighter around the bar until her knuckles turned white. She took a breath and closed her eyes.
When she opened them she was on platform 9 ¾.
"Wow! That was aweso…." She paused in the middle of her sentence. The train was soo big! She stared in amazement.
Two girls came up to her, they were short but slim. They were obviously twins, and spoke in turns.
"Hi! I'm Amanda." The first twin said. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.
"And I'm Ember." The other twin chimed in. she had blonde hair and green eyes.
Their skin was pail, and they had matching outfits. But different colored robes, Amanda's robe was Black, while Ember's robe was red.
"I'm Kiera. I'm a first year." She said with a grin
"Us too." Ember smiled back.
"Do you want to share a compartment with us?" they asked kiera.
"Sure." She replied. "Bye dad. Bye mom" she said as she hugged each of them.
They boarded the train and made their way to an open compartment. They sat their backpacks on the shelves above their heads. As they were settling in, a boy came to the door.
"Who are you?" he sneered, looking directly at Kiera.
"I'm Kiera. Who are you?" she asked politely.
"That's our brother, Draco. Just ignore him. He's nosey. And thinks he's all that." Amanda replied.

"Oh Harry! Its awful. I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that something's going to go wrong!" hermione complained to her friends.
"Calm down everything's fine. We'll keep an eye out for her. I mean how much trouble could she cause?" Harry shrugged hermione's worries off.
"It's not how much trouble she could get in. It's the crowd she'll get in with. I just have a bad feeling." Hermione retorted.
Hermione looked out the window, it was dark out. They would be arriving in a short while. She watched the stars and landscape as they passed. The lull of the train was so soothing she must've fallen asleep because the next thing she knew they were at hogwarts.

Kiera and the twins talked the whole way to hogwarts; kiera was so excited she just couldn't sleep. It was amazing how much her and the twins had in common.
"So what year is your brother in?" she asked curiously.
"He's in his 3rd year. Why?" Ember replied.
"Oh just wondering." She actually thought he was kind of cute. But she couldn't let them know that!
They pulled into hogwarts and they jumped up to get their backpacks. They stepped off the train and collected their things. A giant man grouped them into years, and told the first years to follow him.
"I need ye all to stand here until professor dumbledore is ready fer ye." He said in a husky voice.
"I'll take it from here." A tall woman said.
"I'm professor mcgonegal." She said, "please follow me into the dining hall to be sorted."
The first years entered the grand hall and were amazed by all the beauty. It was magnificent. The stars looked so real, and the sky was royal blue.
"Welcome first years. " A man with a long white beard was at the head of the room in the center of a table.
He gave a speech to the first years. It seemed like forever to Kiera and the rest of the first years.
"It's now time for the sorting hat." He announced as the same man who sorted them into years brought out an old looking hat that started to sing a song as soon as he sat it down.
When the hat was finished, dumbledoor stood. "Lets begin!"
