[King's Cross Station. Up on a crossing bridge, Maddie, with her cart of her baggage, equipment and Hedwig, walk beside Hagrid. A couple look at Hagrid, suspiciously.]

Hagrid: What're you looking at? [He then checks watch] Blimey, is that the time? Sorry Maddie, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore'll be wanting his- well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. [hands the train ticket] Stick to it, Maddie that's very important. Stick to your ticket. [Maddie looks at her ticket.]

Maddie: Platform 9¾? But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9¾. There's no such thing...is there? [Maddie looks up, but we now see that Hagrid has vanished and Maddie all alone with her cart.]
[Maddie is walking down lane between trains. A man rushes by.]

Man: Sorry.
[Maddie sees a guard.]

Maddie: Excuse me, excuse me.
Guard: Right on your left, ma'am.
Maddie: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9¾?
Guard: [incredulous] 9¾? Think you're being funny, do ya? [he walks off] "yeah just shout out to the muggle that your a witch" Skyler says teasing Maddie, she glared at him.
[Maddie then notices a woman, daughter, and five boys walk by, pushing carts.] "hey it's us!" Fred and George yell out, everyone lets out light chuckles.

Mrs. Weasley: It's the same year after year. Always packed with Muggles, of course.
Maddie: Muggles? "Yes Maddie, non magic people" Sirius says grinning she huffs at him.
Mrs. Weasley: Come on. Platform 9¾ this way! All right, Percy, you first.
[A tall boy with red hair, called Percy, comes forward and runs towards a brick wall. Amazingly, he disappears right into it. Maddie is amazed.]

Mrs. Weasley: Fred, you next.
George: He's not Fred, I am!
Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother.
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, I'm sorry, George.
[Fred moves towards the wall]

Fred: I'm only joking. I am Fred. "Our nephews!" Fabian and Gideon say Molly sighs knowing that Fred and George are going to be just like them. Everyone else laughs at the twins techniques. He runs through the wall, and is followed by his twin brother. Maddie shakes her head in disbelief.]
Maddie: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to-
Mrs. Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's and Skyler's first time to Hogwarts as well. [pan to two red haired boys, called Ron and Skyler, who smiles] Now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous.
Ginny: Good luck. "Aww Ickle Ginny!" Fred cops and Ginny only to be whacked in the head by her.
[Maddie takes a breath and runs at the wall. She shuts her eyes and emerges on the other side a magnificent station at Platform 9¾ with a red train, which is the Hogwarts Express, and bundles of people. A whistle blows, and Maddie sighs with relief.]
