The Search Chapter 2: Platform 9 3/4 and the trainride to the beyond world of Magic


Disclaimer: The characters in this story that are remotely familiar to you belong to Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Thanks for writing the best books ever!! Harry Potter is a trademark of the bastards at Warner Bros. I have to say their name now because then they will sue my ass and be fuckers. SO BE HAPPY! The characters that I have made up(i.e. Sheena Berry, Torie Brown, and Sparrow Patil*Sparrow is based on a friend of mine from the VWOHP*) and the ideas put into this chapter belong to me and my brain. NO!! You may not have my brain.

A/N: Sheena Berry is a newly discovered witch after that secret was hidden from her for years. After seeing many people that knew her in Diagon Alley, she has more questions then answers. Now it is time for her to step into the unknown world of magic...

Sheena's eyes kept looking onto the road ever since she left America to come to England. Then after a tough move, she found she was adopted and a witch. Her mum and Dad since that day have been very distant towards her. Sheena could understand why because Sheena had been distant towards them for lying to her. Finally the old car pulled up at a train station called King's Cross Station. Mr. Berry helped Sheena out of the car while Sheena's mum got her trunk. Sheena walked ahead of the Berrys and looked around. She could feel her eyes tear up and thoughts ran though her mind. Her Parents walked these stairs when they went to Hogwarts. I miss them. Sheena looked at her ticket. Platform 9 3/4. Huh? 9 3/4? Sheena looked at her mum and showed her the ticket.

"Where is platform 9 3/4?" she asked.

"Well according to Tom, there is a barrier ahead and you should walk through it. Go on, it is ahead." said Mrs. Berry.

"Aren't you coming?" asked Sheena

"No. Go on. Now Sheena or should I start calling you Lydia."

Mrs. Berry had touched a nerve of anger and Sheena looked at her angrilly.

"You are horrible! My name is Sheena. Don't you ever insult me again. Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Berry."

Sheena ran off to the platforms of 9 and 10. Something told Sheena to step throught and she did. Instead of hitting a wall, she saw a platform that read Platform 9 3/4. Sheena saw all the parents wishing off their children to the train. Just then a young girl in long blond pigtails came over to her. She smiled.

"Hey, whatcha name? I am Victoria Brown, but everyone calls me Torie." said the blue eyed girl with a thick british accent.

"I am Sheena Berry and pleasant to meet you Torie. Is this your first year at Hogwarts too?"

"Yep it is. My sister has already started going. Her name is Lavender Brown. She is a gryffindor. She isa 2nd year and in the same house as the great Harry Potter."

"That's great. Wanna sit with me on the train?" asked Sheena.

"Sure, come on. We better put your trunk in our conpartment."

The two girls lefted the heavy trunk into the car and jumped on the train. They found a vacant seat next Torie's sister Lavender and her friends Parvati Patil and Padma Patil. Sheena saw another small girl next to the Patil twins. Sheena walked to her and the small pudding faced black haired girl looked at her.

"Hey, looks like your a bit cramped. Wanna sit by me and Torie over there? We have room. My name is Sheena by the way."

"Ok. My name is Sparrow Patil and this is my first year at Hogwarts but this is Padma and Parvati's 2nd year. Padma is a ravenclaw while Parvati is a gryffindor. Neither of them want me in their house." said Sparrow wearly as she sat down next Sheena.

"You guys have siblings in Hogwarts explain to me about the houses. My mum was a Ravenclaw and my dad was a hufflepuff. What does that mean?"

"Well, each house is famous for having outstanding witches and wizards. Each house was named after the four founders. Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Godrid Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin," began Torie but Sparrow finished looked at her Hogwarts a history guide.

"Hufflepuffs are known to be loyal to each other and very protective of their kind. Gryffindors are brave and full chilvary. Ravenclaws are witful and very smart and Slytherins are cunning and will do anything to win. It's your personality really that gets you into the house. Like me. I am pretty smart and very witful. I want to be Gryffindor but I'll probeley end up in Ravenclaw with Padma." said Sparrow sighing.

"I am a sneak and a bit cunning but I am brave as well. I want to be in Gryffindor like everyone else but I'll most likely be in Slytherin." said Torie.

Sheena thought about where she would be. Since she knew nothing about her past or her family history she didn't know where she would be.

"Tell us about your families! I need to hear all about them." said Sparrow.

"My family has 9 generations of witches and wizards most all have been Gryffindors. I guess I'll be breaking tradition!! YES!!" said Torie jokingly.

"My dad is muggle and my mum is a witch. My mum's family has been in every house but Slytherin. I mean who would want to be in Slytherin? Everyone who has ever been in Slytherin has been evil with you-know-who." said Sparrow.

"What about you Sheena? You haven't told us anything about your family!" said Torie.

"I don't really know because they were killed when I was young by the Dark Lord. Their names were Angelina and Jack Lorston and my real name is Lydia."

"Your dad was a quidditch great!" said Sparrow.

Sheena smiled and heard a call from the next compartment.

"GET IN YOUR ROBES! WE WILL BE AT HOGWARTS IN 5 MINUTES TIME!"

Sheena slipped into her black robes and put on her hat. She put her long blond hair up in a tight bun and sat down and placed her black hat on. Torie let her long blond hair flow out of her black hat while Sparrow tied her shoulder-length black hair in pigtails. Then the train suddenly came to a stop. Sheena heard a call that seemed oddly familiar.

"First years over here!" called the great giant.

Sheena held Torie and Sparrow's hand as they boarded a boat with a another girl. She seemed a bit shy but you could spot her a mile away with her flaming red hair.

"I am the youngest one to attend Hogwarts in my family," she sighed.

"What is your name?" asked Sparrow.

"My name is Ginny Weasley. My brother Ron is a second year with Harry Potter. They are the best of friends you know." she said softly.

"Well, we will be your friends. I am Sheena and this is Sparrow Patil and Torie Brown."

"Pleasant to meet you," said Torie.

"Yes, pleasant to meet you." said Sparrow.

"My pleasure." said Ginny as her face broke into a big smile.

The boat stopped and the girls eyes darted to a large Castle in front of them. Hogwarts School.
