Here is chapter 2 of Crimson Heart! Hope you enjoy! :D
Ichigo sighed as he stepped into the bustling train station in England. "Gosh, friggin jet lag!" he yawned.
He didn't really know what he was getting into when he was pushed onto a plane at five in the morning by his nut of a father, with the largest trunk he had ever seen!
He looked down at the small slip of paper he held in his hand. "Platform 9 ¾?"
Looking up he saw that there was no 9 ¾. Just 9, then 10. He looked back and forth between the two. Great, his idiotic father left him with the wrong number.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
"Hey!" Ichigo yelled scowling as a red headed boy walked into him carrying a large trunk, "Watch where you're going next time." He mumbled.
"Uh, sorry mate! I'm kind of in a hurry!" The red head said running off towards the trains, pushing through the crowd.
"RONALD!" A plump woman ahead with the same red hair yelled, surrounded by many children with red hair.
"Coming mum!" The boy, apparently named Ronald, yelled as he pushed through the crowd.
"Alright everybody, get going to the platform." The woman looked utterly stressed.
"Why is it called platform 9 ¾ mum?" a smaller girl asked her, also with red hair.
"You know Ginny, I don't really know, but that would be a good question to ask your father!" she said smiling and pinching one of the girl's cheeks.
Ichigo overheard this and swam through the sea of people towards the red headed family.
I guess my father wasn't wrong.
After being rammed into by several people, he finally made it over to the large family.
"Excuse me, did you say platform 9 ¾?" Ichigo asked curiously. His eyed widened as he heard himself speak.
How the hell can I speak English?
The plump woman looked over at him and smiled, "Yes dear! Do you need some help getting to the platform?"
"I suppose so." He scratched his head.
"Nice hair!" said two voices simotainiously as he felt two arms on his shoulders.
The woman's eyes went wide, "George! Fred! Stop bothering him."
"It's alright." Ichigo said while shrugging the twin's arms off his shoulders.
She turned to the rest of the family, "Now everyone through, go on, Fred you first then George."
"But mum, I'm George!" one of the twins said.
"I don't care right now, just go." She said with a stressed look, "I have to help Mr.,"
Ichigo cut in, "Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Hey you must be one of the new exchange students I heard about." Ronald said, "I'm Ron." He extended a hand but was pushed away by the woman.
"Ok enough chatter, on to the platform you go!" She said pushing Ron towards a support wall in the middle of the station.
He grabbed his trunk and started running towards the wall.
What the-
Ron had just disappeared through the wall.
Ichigo blinked his eyes. Did he just run through that wall? Did anyone else see that?
He turned his head to look around him. No one was paying any attention to the people running through the FRIGGIN WALL!
One by one, each of the red heads disappeared into the wall.
"Ok your turn." The woman said, "Just get a running start then go right on through!"
You want me, to run into a wall? No thank you!
"Go on now, don't be shy!" She gave him a shove.
Ichigo started hesitantly jogging towards the wall, looking around him to see if anyone was looking. His trunk bumped along behind him. No one was, they were all just walking along minding their own business.
I can't believe I'm going to run into a wall…
He scrunched his eyes, preparing for the impact.
He thought it was odd when he felt nothing. He opened his eyes. Right above him, a sign read: platform 9 ¾.
He whipped around to face behind him and came face to face with a dirty red brick wall, almost identical to the one he had supposedly just walked through.
He slowly turned back. All around him were school age children hugging and saying goodbye to their parents. There was a large steam engine train with a red H on the front. Great plumes of steam came from the front.
Ichigo pulled the slip of paper out of his pocket and noticed that there was writing on the back.
Once you are on the platform just board the train and find a seat. Everything will be explained soon.
Of course Dad…
The plump woman from before appeared behind him.
He turned to face her. "Uh, thanks ms-"
"Not a problem dear! You can call me Mrs. Weasley." The expression of a loving mother came to her face, "May I ask where you went to school before you came here?"
"I came from a school in Japan." He replied.
"Hmm, I didn't know we had schools there. I'll have to ask Arthur later." She put a finger to her chin, sighing she continued, "Anyway, do you have everything you need for school?"
"Uh yeah I think so."
I have no idea...
"Well good! Just board the train. It does take some time to get to Hogwarts, but I assure you, time flies when you're on that train!" she directed him towards the first entrance, "I have to say goodbye to my children," she pointed towards the red-headed group that was beginning to board the train, "I hope you have a good year! It's quite an extraordinary school!"
"Thanks." Ichigo mumbled as she walked away.
The train whistle sounded and he boarded the train.
This is gonna be hell…
The noise hit him like a wall when he opened the door to the first train car. Everywhere there were students packed down the aisle.
Calm down, don't kill anyone, be polite.
He clenched his teeth and began down the aisle.
"Excuse me, excuse me, come on, scuse me, move, move, GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY!" His face was a dark shade of red.
Everyone stopped and looked his way. A few heads popped out of compartments to see what caused the commotion.
Damn.
He walked forward and closed the door to the train car behind him. He then opened the next.
Expecting a loud noise, he opened the next door hesitantly. Thankfully it was fairly quite with only a few people down the middle of the aisle.
He sighed, where am I supposed to sit?
Suddenly a voice interrupted his thought, "Kurosaki."
He looked up to see a small spiky white haired boy standing in the aisle. He was wearing a black polo shirt and well fitting jeans. His arms were crossed.
"I thought I heard you screaming." The boy said with a smirk.
"Toshiro!" Ichigo exclaimed, "W-what are you doing here!"
Toshiro sighed, "Its Hitsugaya-taicho to you Kurosaki! And I am on a mission, and so are you. Now let's go, everyone has been waiting for you." He turned back to walk away, intending for Ichigo to follow him.
The train rumbled beneath him suddenly lurched forward and Ichigo almost lost his balance. "Wait! What are you talking about? What mission!"
Toshiro turned back, "I'll tell you later, let's get to the compartment. Everyone is waiting."
Ichigo reluctantly followed, wondering what the hell he was getting into.
