The gummi ship streamed along the lanes between the worlds, pining for its new destination. For Sora, Donald, and Goofy it was shear apprehension and excitement inside the cabin.

"Gawrsh, I wonder what adventures we'll have in this world. Ah-hyuck."

"I dunno, Master Yen Sid said that is full of wizards and witches that know all kinds of magic. You might fit right at home Donald."

"No way. Nothing beats staying at Disney Castle," the mage countered.

"I know what you mean. There's no place like home." With that, Sora's mind wandered back to the islands, and how he, Riku, and Kairi once had dreams of going on a big adventure.

"Look, we're almost there!" Goofy pointed out the window, and sure enough, the gummi ship descended out of the sky and approached what looked like a bustling train station. Donald steered the ship to a secluded area outside the station.

"Well, Master Yen Sid did say we would have take a train to the school," Sora said.

"What is the name of the school anyway?" Donald asked.

"Uh…"

"You forgot already?!"

"No. It just has a funny name, that's all. It was something-Warts."

"Warts?" Goofy wondered. "A school with warts?"

"Oh I remember! Hogwarts. What a weird name." Said Sora as the three made their way to a grand building which read: KING'S CROSS STATION.

It was a grand station at that. Many platforms, citizens scurrying about, and our three heroes earned puzzling looks from the patrons.

"Wow." All three were amazed at the size of terminal. "Which train is ours, Sora?" Goofy asked.

"Master Yen Sid gave me these," Sora responded as he pulled out three train tickets. "But they say Platform 9 ¾. But that can't be right."

"Excuse me?" Came a voice behind them. Sora, Donald, and Goofy turned around to find a boy about the same height as Sora with a tangled mess of brown hair, green eyes, and glasses. Sora thought he could see some sort of mark behind the boy's bangs, but thought nothing of it.

"Did you say 'Platform 9 ¾?'" He asked.

"Uh, yes I did," Sora answered.

"You must be going to Hogwarts then."

Sora looked on with relief, thankful that he had met someone who looked like they knew where to go.

"Yes we are. But we don't see any Platform 9 ¾."

"You don't know how to get there? Have you ever been to Hogwarts?"

"Nope. First time for us." Goofy responded.

At that, the boy looked at Sora's two companions with a little bewilderment, but let it pass as soon as it came.

"Well, you can follow me then. I'm on my way there as well. Start of school and everything. My name is Harry. Harry Potter."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sora, and this is Donald," he gestured to the mage, "and Goofy," and did the same to the Captain.

Harry seemed a little surprised at Sora's remark. He had assumed this boy was learning to be a wizard if he was going to Hogwarts. And he had never met any wizard who had introduced themselves so cordially before. Usually they were astounded to meet him.

"What?" Sora asked, as Harry had let his countenance stare a little longer than he had wished.

"Oh nothing," he quickly reacted. "Off to the platform then, is it?"

Sora nodded. It was at this time that he noticed Harry pushing a cart with a heavy trunk and a caged owl.

"This is Hedwig. She a right bird and a very loyal friend of mine. Don't you have an owl?"

"Um, no, we don't. Why would we need one," Sora said.

"It's how we get the mail at school."

"I think we'll be alright."

The four walked on through the station, the many people staring at them as they passed.

"When you've been going through here as many times as I have, you get used to the staring," Harry said as he noticed how uncomfortable Sora was getting.

At last the reached Platforms 9 and 10. But Sora was still confused.

"So where is 9 ¾?" He asked.

"Just run through the wall between 9 and 10."

"Hey, are you trying to trick us?!" Donald interjected.

"No, really, just go through and don't stop."

Donald had a peeved look on his face and was about leave the boy when Sora chimed in.

"Ok, I'll give it a try."

"Careful Sora," Goofy said.

"Here it goes." And with that, Sora took to a jog, and then picked up speed. The brig wall came closer to his face when suddenly…

The impending collision with the wall did not occur as Sora was expecting. Instead, he passed cleanly through the brick façade and onto what looked like another platform. He fixed his gaze up and read a sign: Platform 9 ¾.

To his amazement, he saw many young people with, whom he could only assume, their parents. They, like Harry, were pushing carts with trunks, and each had their own species of owl. They were kissing and hugging their loved ones goodbye and boarding, what Sora finally noticed, long black carriages connected to a steam engine. On the front of the engine, Sora could make out the name: The Hogwarts Express.

As Sora looked on, he failed to notice that Donald, Goofy, and Harry had made their way through the wall and looked on as well.

"Well, I'm going to get my things on board and find my friends. If you can't find a compartment on board, come find me."

"Thanks Harry." And with that, Harry moseyed off into the crowd.

"So what do you guys think?" Sora asked.

"Well, I guess we gotta board the train if we're gonna get to Hogwarts." Goofy responded.

"Yea, let's go." Donald was impatient as always.

So the three, hurried off to one of the conductors and gave them their tickets. Needless to say, they were still garnering strange looks from everyone here as well. Soon they found an empty compartment and settled in to be taken to the school.
