Answer: Your Imagination
Chapter 6
Kagome fluttered her eyes and slowly sat up with a small yawn.
Blinking, she turned her head slightly to the right and looked out her window onto London, just waking from sleep.
Yawning again, she flung off her blankets and stood up. Kagome walked over to the window, pulling the curtains open some more.
'So pretty.' The sky was painted orange with the night's clouds seemingly floating away.
Shuffling over to the wardrobe she took out her favorite school uniform and went into the bathroom.
Emerging from the bathroom with her uniform on, she ran around the room, collecting her things. Stuffing it all in her trunk, she left her room and went down into the pub.
Walking over to Tom she put the key on the freshly wiped counter in front of her. Tom scooped it up and put it one of the pockets in his trousers and smiled.
Kagome was suddenly hit with a thought 'What am I supposed to do now?'
She turned to Tom again, who had just given another customer a butterbeer "Excuse me. But can you tell me how to get to Hogwarts?"
Tom looked at her funny "Hogwarts?"
Kagome nodded enthusiastically "Yes! Hogwarts! How do I get there?" she asked slowly.
Tom shook his head "Sorry. I cant understand anything your sayin' " he picked up a glass and started to clean it out with one of his many rags.
Kagome gave an exasperated sigh and sat on one of the old stools, setting her trunk beside her and letting her legs dangle from the seat.
Suddenly, a large, red haired lady rushed into the pub. Her fiery red hair and plump, pleasant face clashed with the exasperated look.
She turned around and opened the door again "Come on children! We have only ten minutes left till the train leaves!"
Four people about Kagome's age hurried in after her. Two with the same red hair as the woman, one with brown hair and one with messy black hair.
They started up to the counter and up to Tom.
"Can I use your fireplace Tom? Everyone else's is down from the Ministry updates! And we need to get to Platform nine and four quarters before Hogwarts train leaves!"
Kagome immediately watched the woman carefully then grabbed her trunk and followed as she heard the lady say 'Hogwarts'.
'They must be going too! I should follow them and maybe they can get me to Hogwarts!'
Tom led the group up a flight of stairs and into an open room with only a fireplace and a spindly table with a small pot on top of it.
Tom handed the jar to the lady, who them gave a pinch of powder to each of the children.
The girl with bushy brown hair stepped up first and threw her powder into the fire making them flare up and turn a green colour.
Kagome was shocked as the girl stepped into the fire and shouted "Kingscross Station!"
The flames flared then settled and turned red again, but the girl was gone.
'What? The adults! They just let that fire burn her to a crisp!'
The rest of the children followed the girl then the woman followed and disappeared into the flames.
Tom turned and saw Kagome standing in the doorway with an appalled look on her face. He stopped and waved his hands towards the fireplace "Hogwarts". He held the jar out for her to take.
Kagome looked at it cautiously. Had it really burnt them? All the things that she had been ever told were the truth is going against this. She tentatively reached out and took a pinch of the powder. It seemed like any old regular powder, but she had seen what it does. Could she really trust it?
Kagome cautiously walked over to the fireplace and threw the powder in. The fire grew and turned green and Kagome looked back at Tom, who nodded and motioned for her to go forward.
She reached her hand out and touched the top of the flames, expecting to be burnt. But the sensation of soft silk wrapping around her hand replaced the expected heat.
Looking back at Tom before stepping into the fireplace, Kagome yelled "Hogwarts!"
The world swirled around her as she spun, hitting her elbow painfully against the sides as different living rooms and busy offices raced by her vision. Just as she was about to throw up she stumbled out of one of the many fireplaces and fell to the carpet covered ground.
A gentle hand helped her up and Kagome looked into the face of a smiling woman with brown hair tied back into a business-like bun.
"Welcome to Kingscross Station!"
