Chapter Two:

The next month seemed to fly by. It was fun, though she greatly missed Remus. She got to spend quality time with her grandparents.

The day of Remus' arrival came sooner than she had originally expected it too. He would be home for a day and then she would be seeing him off for his 'special' school the very next day.

Remus arrived home late that night, so they didn't get a chance to spend any time together before he would have to leave. Amaya was a little disappointed though she kept a pleasant smile on her face so as not to bring Remus' happy mood down.

They arrived at the train station early the next morning. Children could be seen coming and going every which way. Amaya was reminded of the hectic subway system she had experienced on a trip to New York.

They reached platform 10 and she wondered why Remus wasn't getting on the train.

"I've just realized I've forgot my book in the car!" he said, his eyes looking anywhere but at her. "I'll be right back."

It ended up just being the two of them because her grandpa was sick and her grams was staying with him. Amaya glanced at him suspiciously but just said, "okay."

While he went off, Amaya walked to a spot between Platforms 9 and 10 and leaned up against the brick wall. What happened next surprised and scared her.

She began to fall and the next thing she knew, she was in a whole different place. She looked around. There were children of many ages all around her. There was a train and a sign that read 'Hogwarts Express.'

She looked around the platform filled with teenagers and their parents all bearing similar luggage to Remus', some even had odd pets on their trolley's. She was hoping to catch a glimpse of Remus but she didn't see him. She did, however, spot James.

"Hey! Er…James!" She yelled. He didn't pay her any attention. Then she remembered what Sirius had called him that day in her grandparent's home.

"PRONGS!" She bellowed. This time he looked at her. When he saw her, he looked surprised. He slowly walked towards her, looking at her weirdly.

"Where in the sam hell am I? And how did I get here?" she asked him. Just then, Remus came through the same 'wall' she had just fell through.

"Hey!" He said as he noticed her. "There you are." He looked worried.

"How'd she manage that?" James asked Remus.

"I don't know. Muggles can't usually pass through the barrier." Remus replied.

By now she was very confused and was barely following them. All those weird words just baffled her even more than the fact that she fell through an apparently solid 'wall.'

"Huh? Will someone please tell me what's going on!" she yelled, finally drawing the two's attention to her. But before either could answer her, a loud and shrill whistle emitted from the large red train.

"Whoa. Better get on the train before it leaves without us. Let's take her to Dumbledore. He'll know what to do," James suggested, grabbing up his stuff.

James handed Amaya a cage with a large black owl in it with large amber eyes. "Will you carry her for me?"

"Her?" Amaya asked, glancing at the owl who was in return watching her.

"Yeah, her name is Chiara. My mum got it for me when I first got accepted to Hogwarts." James grinned. "I think she thought I wouldn't write otherwise."

"Would you of?" Amaya teased.

"In due time."

"James is a busy guy," Remus said, rolling his eyes. "Okay. Let's go. Come on Amaya. We'll take you to my headmaster, Albus Dumbledore."

Reluctantly, Amaya followed the two boys as they made their way through the throng of teenagers to board the train. She was beginning to feel an intense headache.

When they boarded the train, the group composed of Amaya, Remus, and James headed to a compartment clear at the back of the train. When they entered, she saw Sirius there waiting for James and Remus.

"Hey guys," he said, not looking up from his cards he was playing with. "Hey!" he said when he finally did and caught sight of Amaya standing there. "What's she doing ere? Thought you said she was a muggle," he said to Remus, an accusatory glint in his eye.

"She is," Remus said at once and then paused, "…I think."

"What do you mean you think?" Sirius asked heatedly. "You told me that I shouldn't waste my time asking her out cause she was a muggle and now she's here!"

"I thought she was one," Remus retorted.

"You know," Amaya said finally, her temper beginning to rise, "I'm right here. There is no reason for you guys to talk about me as if I'm not here."

"Sorry," both boys muttered.

"Anyways," Remus continued, "she fell through the barrier and we've, me and James I mean, to take her to Dumbledore," Remus concluded.

"Ummm…what's a muggle?" Amaya finally asked the one thing that kept nagging her. They kept calling her one and she wanted to know whether it was an insult or not.

The three shared a look.

"Should we tell her or leave it to Dumbledore?" James voiced.

"I think we should leave it to the Professor," Sirius said.

They all three nodded. "To the Headmaster," they all said in unison and laughed.

Amaya laughed too, despite her predicament. The rest of the journey flew as they conversed over what the three boys had done over the summer, though Amaya still wondered at the boys' earlier words and what this Dumbledore would tell her when she finally met him. Never would she have expected the news Dumbledore was about to give her.
