September, 01st, 1971

She walked through the flamboyant platforms in 1971, the air felt thick from the steam, platforms nine and ten caught her eye. Full of ordinary people, no one special had caught her eye. It was twenty minutes until her train was due and she had to get on platform nine and three-quarters.

"Excuse me how do you get onto this platform?" the girl asked, whilst she showed him her ticket to one of the workers of the platform nine and three-quarters. "Here little girl, there's no such thing of platform nine and three-quarters." The man replied chewing on a toothpick. "Oh! Well cheers anyway." she said.

The girl was swamped him her own raggy clothes, she was awfully skinny and small, but the clothes made her look bigger yet still small. Her hair was long-brown, and it  frizzed and waved all down her back. She had eyes that was big and piercing of a deep chocolate brown, it would go golden sometimes, especially when she had went into the sun. she had a rosy tint to her cheeks that matched her lips, and a few freckles on the bridge her nose. Her under eyes were a bit dark, like a ashy grey that rested. She smelt of old clothes, a bit of petrol and an old perfume she must of found.

She had a packed bag and had no clue where to go. She smelt a strong essence of perfume, a lady, tall and quite frightful looking. She had her arms linked with a man and two boys near same age to the girl, "Hurry up! We're going to be late for Merlin's sake!" Her voice was opulent, herself and her family stood between platform nine and ten. "Now boys, follow me onto platform nine and three-quarters, follow me!" She insisted, the girl watched closely but did not stare as the women, tried to be quite subtle about it. Next thing she knew they all in the wall. Forgot to mention, this is not any platform, this is for wizards and witches, for those who can perform magic.

A few moments she simulated, walking through the wall. It led to a whole new platform, nine and three-quarters finally, it was full of children and families, safe to know it is a school, just hoping she doesn't have to do math. This other side (platform nine and three-quarters) was full of people, creatures. She walked around breathtakingly watching families saying goodbyes, creatures flying around, truly was magnificent.

The girl was alone at the station, she had a mother and father, her mother died back in January, the car crash she was held in made die quickly, the doctor said. Well as for her father, he was never there for her and in fact never acknowledge her that much except the times when he wasn't sober, he was a drunk, junkie and a massive addict, he either gone on benders for weeks or even months, the longest herself and mum had went without him was nine months, yet she doesn't remember it as she was only two years of age. Her mother looked after her, honestly the best mother in the world, she was kind, soft, sweet, understanding what more an eleven-year-old can ask for. But since, the eleven year old had to provide for herself like she has been doing for the last eight months, however she never tried to pitted herself, just tried to move on and tried to live, and prove she is worthy to live well and not end up like her father at least. But the worse thing is being skint is having to create ways to find a loaf of bread or a simple bottle of milk, but she is used to that. Her dream was to leave this kind of life. but her reality was to stay. That's how she would forever would of thought.

She got onto the deep cherry red train, it smelt sweet from treats and smoke from bombs, and there were kids running riot, it was amusing, she hardly got chance of a proper social life as her neighbourhood had scary people according to her mum . She got into the school from her mother she guessed, and her special genes, which she never believed until that summer, her mum was the witch along with her mother's side of the family. however her father loathes magic and her mother thought she was in love,  so she cut everyone and magic out of her life to be with such a tosser like her father.
