Harry Potter: Serena's Prophecy-Part 1(The Philosopher's Stone)
Chapter 3:Platform 9 3/4, a Train, and Another Meeting.
It was 10:40 am, and Serena had met up with the rest of the Weasleys, her tabby kitten following her. The kitten was her birthday gift from Fred and named it Trouble, the owl that sat on it's perch in it's cage on Fred's luggage was from George and named Spiritwing. Since she was allowed only one pet, Fred was bringing her owl to Hogwarts for her.
Once at King's Cross Serena looks at the wall that she saw Bill, Charlie, and Percy run through many times before. Back then it never seemed as scary, as if it could hurt her. This time however, her heart was pounding wildly. "Fred..." she silently says and looks at the twin to her left side. However, he never heard her, so she faces the wall just as Percy runs through. Even though she should be used to it, the sudden vanishing of Percy startled her enough to grab a hold of Fred's hand. Fred notices she's scared and glances at George who nods.
"Ok Fred, you next!" says urgently.
"He's not Fred, I am!" George exclaims.
Serena faintly smiles, her fear vanishing slowly.
"Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother..." Fred says with disbelief as George shakes his head slowly.
"Oh, sorry George," Molly says as Fred starts moving towards the wall. He stops and looks at his mother, "only joking, I am Fred," he says with a joking smile then runs at the wall, calling over his shoulder, "hurry George!" Serena watches as George enters the platform seconds behind Fred.
"Uhm...excuse me," a voice came from the left. Serena looks over and sees a boy with messy black hair, green eyes and glasses. He wore a white shirt under a plaid shirt and baggy jeans. There was a beautiful snowy owl in a cage on his luggage. "How do you..."
"Get on the platform? It's quite simple, all you have to do is go through the wall, right at the centre. Best to give it a running start if nervous, but don't worry, it's Ron and Serena's first time to."
The boy nods and runs onto the platform, Ron and Serena close behind.
Upon reaching the platform Serena smiles wide then sees the same boy from before having troubles. George and Fred help him then she manages to get her luggage on the train with the help of a boy named Neville Longbottom. Serena had made friends with him quickly for she heard of his parents. The two sit together, sharing stories of anything magical that they have done.
As the train starts moving, Trouble suddenly runs out of the car. "Trouble!" Serena whispers then chases her kitten. When she finally catches her kitten, he was in another car. She looks around quickly as she picks up her kitten then moves as quickly as she entered, for she saw Malfoy yet again.
The rest of the train ride was boring for the most part. Especially since Neville had left for he lost his toad. While alone Serena got changed, tried some spells, slept for five minutes until Trouble woke her, and was now looking out the window as the door opens. "I lost him...he's never coming back!" Neville says as he sits down across from Serena. Serena looks at Neville then sits beside him, "he's probably exploring, there's no way he got far," she smiles reassuringly. Neville wasn't completely convinced, but manages a smile and nod.
A few minutes later and the train stops. Serena carries Trouble as she drags her luggage to the entrance. When she jumps off a big man is heard hollering, "firs' years follo' me! O'er 'ere firs' years!" Serena walks to the man and looks up at him.
"Hello Hagrid," the black haired boy from before says with a smile.
"'Ello there Harry, 'ave a good ride 'ere?" The black haired boy nods then the big man leads the first years to the lake. Serena kept looking at the man, curious. She almost didn't notice she was put into a boat with none other than...
"You? Brilliant...just brilliant."
