Pre-Hogwarts
Chapter 10
September 1st, 1988
This was it. Today was the day. They were starting their first day at Hogwarts today. Jo and Leilani met outside of King's Cross with their new school things in tow. Leilani's sister Kanani had the look of one who was being imposed upon, her sister's enthusiasm was irritating, as was most of the things her sister did. Their group made their way unnoticed through the crowded train station. When they stopped in front of the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, Jo's sister, Jillian, tugged on her mom's sleeve.
"What're they doing?" she asked.
"Watch and find out," her mom replied.
"Ready, Jo?" Leilani asked, "watch this," she said as Kanani walked straight at the barrier and then vanished into it.
"Woah. Cool," Jo said. Leilani turned and threw her arms around her dad's neck in a hug good bye.
"Bye daddy," she gave him a squeeze which he returned before she hugged her mom, "Bye mom!"
"See ya, tweety," her dad said as Leili got a firm grip on her trolley and set off for the barrier at a bit of a run.
"Come on, Jo!" she called as she went through. Jo bid her mom and sister farewell and followed Leili through.
On the other side Kanani waited impatiently, not that there was anything new there; Kanani was usually impatient. When both her sister and Jo had arrived she showed them to the train, a bright, shiny, red and gold engine with 'The Hogwarts Express' emblazoned on the side.
Students, new and returning, and their parents milled around. Kanani showed them inside and then left them to their own devices as she met up with her own friends. Jo and Leili settled into a compartment near the front of the train, let Artemis and Morgan out of their crates and waited for the train to move.
