Soon after Hagrid stated that they had better get a move on. There huge party left Diagon Ally and hopped on a bus to ride to the King's Cross Station. None of this was even slightly amusing to Christine. It was routine for her. Her haing grown in London regulary sneaking off to explore it. They got to King's Cross station and Christine and Harry recie there tickets. Christine got hugged by everyone there. Including a rather ocward one from Faith.
Buffy as she is giving Chris a hugs says, "I'd like to see you off inside the station however we have a council meeting."
Chris dosn't question her mother or ask her ot stay. She knows tha sometimes there are things you have to do. Even if you don't to. She just wishe that she could have her family to herself. Selfish thinking she told her self.
In turn her family members give her another round of hugs and for good measure her mother gives Harry one also. It shocks Harry, but he is conforted by it.
During the exchange Hagrid had gone off and gotten carts for them to put there trunks on. Harry's cart simply had his trunk and Hewig's cage on top. Christine's not only had her guitar case. But, she had her kitten's basket on top of it. All of this she could of easily carried on her own. However in public she was supposed to seem like a dainty if not a gothic eleven year old purely human girl. She stood there until her mother & Faith put her trunk , guitar case, and finaly her kitten Shadow who was in it's basket on the cart that her Aunt Kennedy had brought over for her.
That done and with good byes all ready said there was nothing left to say. So her female family members simple left. It didn't hurt Christine. After all her family hated good-byes. After all it was the frist time Christine had been totaly with out her family. Red-tinted tears came to her eyes. She wiped them away. She thought to her self. Save it and use it later. If Harry saw her tears he said nothing.
"Err...we should start looking for Platform nine and three quarters," said Harry breaking the ice and assuring Christine with his words.
"Right,"Christine replyed setting her resolve.
They had on luck find the elusive platform. Until Harry pushing his cart and Chris rolling with her cart (she still had on her roller blades), heard a red haired lady with four red haired children talking about muggles.
"It's always the same. Packed with muggles. Platform 9 and 3 quarters this way," said the fussing mother witch.
Upon hearing the term "muggles" Christine and Harry walk up the lady.
Christine rolling up the lady,"Do you know how to get on to platform 9 and 3 quarters.?"
"Oh you and your brother going to Hogwarts? Well it's Ron's frist time too," replied the cheerful red-haired witch.
"Well actualy he isn't my brother but, yes," said Christine trying her best to sound sweet and innocent.
"Well you both look alike anyway. Just walk at the wall between Platformms Nine and ten. Don't worry," said the lady helpfuly.
"Why don't you both go before Ron? Go at it with a run dears it will make it easyer.", finsihed the sweet lady.
So Christine and Harry both take off running towards the wall and run on to the Platform. Sitting before them was the Hogwarts Express in all her glory. The place was busy as usual.
Harry looking at it all said," We better get on board or we won't get a seat."
Harry pushing his carty and Christine rolling with her cary pushed there way toward the train. They got there luggage loaded. They found an empty compartment and set down. Harry by the window. Christine on the other side by the door with Shadow the Lion Hearted Kitten in her lap.
Just then one of the freackle faced red children came in.
"Mind if I set here? There isn't any other place to sit, asked the boy named Ron.
"Sure," said Harry he looked to Christine. Who was petting her kitten.
"I don't mind ether", said Christine quietly.
Ron grinned. He took the seat across from Harry.
"My name's Ron Weasley, he said to Harry and Christine.
"My name is Christine Summers-Anelious,"said Christine warmly.
Harry replied," My name is Harry Potter."
"Whoa, no way are you realy them, said Ron thunder strucked.
At the same time they replied,"yeah."
Ron explanned to both of them that they were both clebreitys in the wizarding world. Harry because of the huge deal with Lord Voldermort . Christine because of her parents not to mention that she is only succeful vampire-human hybrid and on top of that a young slayer.
Ron non-chalantly says," So I guess that's why you have on those dark Quittich goggles?"
"Yeah, makes it easyer for me to see outside during the day. They adjust by themselfes to keep me from looking like 'tard wearing dark googles in a dark room", Christ speaks off-handedly about it like it's no big deal.
Harry amazed,"Whoa...your not going to bite us are you?"
"Nah, I'm part human. Mind you I do need to drink blood but, I can survive on pig's blood and human food. However if I don't keep my diet balanced I get sick.", trying to reasure her new friends.
Ron eating a cauldron cake, because Harry and Christine had just bought a bunch of goodies off the trouly," I heard you have three parents. Your mom's friend who basicaly made you. I heard that her magic went into you and that's why you are a witch."
"It's true. It's also true that I started pracitseing Wicca with her when I was four."
Ron's only response was,"Wicked."
After that Harmione busts in asking about Neville's toad. Then Draco Malfoy barges in and askes both Harry and Christine to join him and his friend's in his compartment. They both deline. Stating they enjoy the compartment and that they are quite comfortable where they are.
