September 1st couldnt have come around any quicker for Jessie. Since the move, Dracos letters had become more and more frequent + Jessie was looking forward to meeting him on the Hogwarts Express.
Christian, on the other hand, was as scared as anything.
"Mum, seriously, cant you or dad just take us?" Christian cried
"Dear, your father is already there, perparing for your classes" Katherine said, packing the last of the items he'd need in his trunk
"Besides, theres a 'No Apparation' rule at this school"
Jessie, sitting in her chair, looked up from reading her letter "Wha? Oh, Christian still complaining bout the train ride?" she said, sniggering.
"Am not!" he said adamently, blowing a raspberry in Jessies direction.
"Thats enough" Katherine said in a raised voice, raising her eyebrow at Jessies finger gesture towards Christian.
"Just go put the rest of your stuff in the car Jessie, or you'll have to walk and you'll be late"
Jessie waved her hands at her mother "All my stuff is in the car already. All except my wand which is with me" she said, patting her waistline where her wand was sitting snuggly.
Jessie went back to reading her letter for the milliont time, she could almost memorize it.
Dear Jessie
Well, only 2 more days until we are at Hogwarts together. Its been, what, six months since we started writing to each other? Entering the third year is quite daunting especially since we've got to start thinking about our O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) Father says, but I know I will be fine.
Anyway, I'll look forward to meeting you on Platform 9 3/4.
I'll bring you a multicoloured rose so you'll recognize me
Take care - Draco
"TIME TO GO! QUICK!" Katherine yelled, which woke Jessie up from her daydream.
Ten minutes later + after losing Christians wand twice, they were finally on their way to the station.
Along the way, Christian started whinging.
"Mum! I'm hungry!" he said, holding onto his stomach
"Well, you should of eaten your breakfast instead of those bat cookies" Katherine said in a huff.
"Cant I just turn him into a bug so we can get some peace?" Jessie said
"No Jessie Bethany Amber McMasters" Katherine said, turning the corner sharply.
Jessie knew not to speak again, because when her mother used her full name, she was not in the best of moods.
As Katherine rounded the corner, Kings Cross station came into full view.
"Wooooow" both Jessie and Christian said in unison.
The car jerked forward and Jessie and Christian jolted in their seats as Katherine parked abruptly.
"Ok, everyone out the car, you've got twenty minutes before the train leaves and because Hogwarts is Unplottable, I dont know where it is, therefore I cant drive you" she said, scurrying out of the car and getting all of the kids trunks out of the car.
Jessie immediately started looking for the multicolored rose and Draco, until she remember that he'd be waiting on Platorm 9 3/4.
She grabbed her trunk from her mother + kissed her on the cheek. As she walked away, she heard her mother call out.
"Jessie, arent you forgetting something?" she said, looking down at Christian
"Ah yes" Jessie said, turning around and holding Christians hand, walked into Kings Cross station.
As they walked out of their mothers sight, Jessie let go of Christians hand.
"Alright, I'm gonna head off, seeya at school" Jessie said, but stopped, turned around to Christian and said "Um, how exactly do we get onto Platform 9 3/4"
Christian shrugged and frowned.
"Dunno sis, suppose we should ask someone"
"And whom may I suggest we ask?" Jess said, turning around pointing to people "Her? A Muggle?" pointing at a lady in a hurry, pushing a pram with a screaming child "Or maybe him?" she said, pointing to a middle aged man wearing a grey pinstripped suit carrying a brown case.
"Alright! I get your point" Christian said, raising his hands
Jessie scratched her head and looked frantically around. Then, out of nowhere, an owl came with something attached to its leg.
Jessie instantly recognised the owl as Dracos and discretely took the piece of parchment off its leg
Jessie - Where in Merlins beard are you! The train is leaving in 15mins and your still not here! Wait, you dont know how to get onto the platform do you? Well, I dont know how anyone else does it, but from Kings Cross, you lean onto one of the barriers between platforms 9 + 10.
Please be careful and hurry - I'll wait on the train - Draco
