When the cart finally pulled up outside King Cross Station the horses stopped. They neighed loudly and people started to stare. Muggles.

I just smiled and didn't let them bring my mood down with their frowns and judging glances.

I love how Muggles live. I mean take this station for an example, it's filled with people of all shapes and sizes who have no magic.

There are no wands out, no robes, no moving pictures. They all just walk along laughing at their friends or carrying a briefcase with a co-worker.

I can't imagine a life without magic anymore, we use it all the time and we use it for such simple things. We use it to cook or clean or to fetch something for us.

Then again magic is dangerous. I mean give magic to the wrong people and everything can go wrong.

I stepped out of the cart and grabbed my trunk, I groan when it barely moves. I finally give it all my strength and push it. I also made sure that my wand was in my back pocket.

"Bye Uncle Albus!" I shouted before entering the doors. I was looking for Platform 9 3/4. Wait what? I have never been on the Hogwarts Express before I always went on broom as I was an amazing player.

I looked around and saw a boy that had a trunk and an owl. His ginger hair stood out in the crowd. When I moved closer I noticed that there were 8 other red heads behind him and a black scruffy haired boy.

When I got close enough I saw the scar. "Oh my god!" I whispered to myself. I went up to the oldest women and asked "How do I get to 9 3/4?" she looked at me and smiled "Are you just starting dear?"

I shook my head "No, I'm starting 4th year" they all starred at me. The woman smiled at me and beckoned me towards platform 9 and 10. "The trick is to run in between platform 9 and 10"

I nodded "Thanks" then I ran towards the solid wall. I closed my eyes and kept running, I heard a train whistle and I stopped. There was a massive train in front of me "Wow!" I said.

"Hey! Come with us!" I hear the black haired boy say along with his red headed friend and a new friend with long brown hair. Once we dumped our trunks we headed to a compartment.
