    My father and I arrive at the train station at 10:30am. The train leaves at 11. We walk through the platforms and I look for 9¾ but can't find it. I look at my dad often, but he keeps walking like nothing it wrong. When he tells me to run at the wall, I hesitate, but do it.
    There us a wierd tingling sensation walking through the wall, and I end up staring at a train that says Hogwarts Express. I look around and see people loading animals onto the train and push my luggage over. I'm already in my robes, so I wait until one of the people loading the train to take the luggage. They do and I put Hera in her cage. "It's only for a little while,  I'll get you out as soon as I can," I say to her. She gets put into the pet compartment and my father walks me over to the compartments where children are getting on.
    He hugs me and kisses the top of my head then I get on the train. I look for an empty compartment and then I find Hermione and sit with her. We talk until eventually the train starts moving.
    About 20 minutes into the ride, a boy walk in and asks if we have seen a toad. We haven't so we say no, but offer to help him find it. His bane Is Neville Longbottem and he seems very forgetful. We look through the compartments until we come to one with only two boys in it.
    Hermione introduces herself and I say " Have you guys seen a toad anywhere, a boy lost one." They say no, but Hermione sits down and fixes one if the boy's glasses. That is when I see the scar. He is Harry Potter. The boy with red hair is stuffing his face with chocolate and says his name is Ron Weasly.
    They ask me my name and I say "Mila Waters," and can't help but notice that Harry is staring at me. We eventually leave the compartment and have to sit down as the train it pulling into a station. We then are taken to some seperate boats and paddle across a lake to a huge castle. A half giant takes us into a room where a women introduces herself as Minerva Mcgonagall.
