Last one for the night. :)

Hermione had always known she was brave.
If she hadn't been, she mightn't have been able to step aboard that train. It was going to take her to an entirely new and different world, and she was scared. So scared that she almost forced her parents to turn the car around and take her back home. She hesitated at the barriers between platform's nine and ten, not because she was fascinated by how it worked (like she made her parents think) but because she didn't want to go.
She never told anyone just how scared she had actually been.
