Hi, um yeah this took awhile to write, I felt very unmotivated. But there ya goo, chapter 2!!

Valerie and her parents arrived at King's across Station.

-Mum? What if I-

-Valerie sweetheart, the answer is No, you won't. Everything is going to be fine. If not, then we can apply you to Durmstrang or perhaps Ilvermony.

-But, what if I can't do magic?

-No, take it easy. Her mother said and took one of the heavier suitcases from Valerie.

-Valerie it is going to be just fine. You already made us come here like 45 minutes early, her father continued with a faint smile and helped his wife with the other bags.

-Yeah but that is the NORMAL time people arrive to the train, they don't come like 10 minutes before. She said and glared at him.

The station was crowded with people, muggles and perhaps also wizards that were disguised well to look normal. Valerie and her parents were all wearing outfits made by Valerie's mother and they were amazing disguises. She only thought that her parents may had gone too far With the matching green shirts saying "Eternal" and "Love" in the front. "Everyone has these" they had said with proud expressions on their faces. All the three of them were wearing jeans and Valerie had paired it up with a yellow sweater.

They walked over to the pillar between platform 9 and 10.

-Can we close our eyes while running towards it? Valerie requested and took her mothers free hand.

-Okay.. On three we run. One... Two... Three... Valerie closed her eyes tightly, of course she knew that she would go trough it but to be fair they were running towards a brick wall and it was just natural human instincts to be a little scared. Suddenly her mother stopped running and when Valerie opened her eyes she could see a beautiful red train in front of her. Surprisingly to her father, there already were quite many people standing on the platform. Most of the students talking with their parents and meeting up with  friends after the long summer. Valerie decided to leave her suitcases with her mother while her father Florence went to chat with the Old trolley lady that was preparing for the joirney to Hogwarts.

-Valerie? Take this. It is just a little present for you... Her mother said and handed her 7 galleons. It was a lot compared to how much she usually got.

-Maybe you can buy some sweets with it, or something. But don't spend it all at once. She suggested and smiled a genuine warm smile.

-Aww, Mum, thank you!

-You are welcome dear. She said while Florence snuck up behind her and winked to Valerie.

-Always remember to- AHHH FLORENCE YOU LITTLE BACKSTABBING- She yelled.

-Juliet, darling, no cursing in front of children. Leave it for some special physical activities tonight. He whispered in her ear and chuckled leaving Valerie's mum to hit his arm.

-So, like I was saying. Never hesitate to tell about your problems, we are here to help you dear. Remember to write and come home for Christmas. She said just before Valerie jumped to give her a big hug, followed by her father. After a few seconds the warm, comforting and big family hug or whatever you want to call it ended.

-We must go now sweetheart. I can't stay too long away from work. We love you and come home for Christmas. Write letters! Do your best at school honey! We love you! Have fun! Her parents yelled and backed away.

-Bye, Love you! Valerie yelled back and knowing that she almost was crying. Not going to cry. She repeated and pulled herself together.

-You really need to stop making jokes like that in front of her. Madame Malkin commented to her husband.
