Chapter 7:
Doesn't it always feel like there is a brick wall in front of you, which is always in the middle of you and where you want to go. Well, that's exactly what happened. I was at Kings Cross, standing in front of the barrier intersecting 9 and 10. And there was no 9 ¾ . There was just a brick wall.
I was afraid. There was nothing I could do now. Mistress left me about 10 minutes ago, and it said on the ticket, that the train would leave at exactly 11:00. It was now 10:50. I had to figure out what to do, fast. Really fast.
I saw someone with an owl. A student about my age. A Hogwarts student. Hopefully.
"Excuse me, EXCUSE ME!" I screamed, but it was nothing compared to the screaming I was doing in my head. I decided to run up to her, she could have been hard of hearing. How sad it would be if that was the case. Isn't it?
" 'scuse me, are you an arriving student to the Hogwarts school?" I tried to sound as intellectual as I could, this is the school for gifted and talented people right?
"Yes, what would you like?" She seemed nice, but I don't trust people with first impressions. People are complicated, and very misleading. "Yes, umm…would you know where Platform 9 ¾ is? I am utterly confused with this whole thing and…" She began to laugh. I didn't like it when people laughed at me, but it happens very often. "You're a first year aren't you?, well I'm guessing you are also from muggle family, but anyways, you just run straight into the barrier between nine and ten, it'll take you right there."
I was just about to tell her off, when she said, "well, nice meeting you, I'll see you at school" and disappeared into the barrier between nine and ten. "Ok well… bye"
I still had to process what I had just seen through my mind. But I could still here her laughing at me, it was a nice laugh. But it rung in my head.
