Welcome to Hogwarts

The Hogwarts Express

The King's Cross Station was also buzzing with activity as Alexia pushed her cart and looked around for Platform Nine and Three quarters. She heard the sound of different trains whistling and people talking as she walked past them.

"So, I caught the Snitch accidentally," Nathaniel stated to Elizabeth as the two followed her. "I was falling down from so high up, the bloody thing went down my throat, thought I was done for."

Elizabeth snickered and shook her head. "I could write a whole book filled with your happy accidents," she replied and nudged him. "But hey, you're still the best player."

He smiled at her and winked playfully. "You don't need to flatter me, Liz," he said and looked away to see they were nearing the platform. "Ah, here we are."

Alexia stopped in her tracks and looked back at him oddly. "What?"

Nathan walked up to her and placed his hands on her shoulders, pointing to the barrier between platforms nine and ten. "See that?" He asked and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "You walk straight into that wall right there, you'll go straight through it."

She narrowed her eyes and looked up at him. "Is this one of your jokes, Uncle Nate?"

Elizabeth snickered and walked up to them. "Why don't you show her?"

Nathan faced his sister and looked down at Alexia before he winked. "Watch closely," He straightened up and stood in front of her, extending out his hands at his sides. He beamed and walked backwards through the wall.

Alex widened her eyes and blinked a few times. "Woah..."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him showing off and looked down at her daughter. "Go ahead, hon, you're next."

She nodded and gripped her cart. She stared at the wall nervously and ran forward towards it before she went through it. She looked around and spotted the Hogwarts Express.

Elizabeth went through after her and took in a deep breath. "Oh, there it is," she whispered as she stared at the train. "You beautiful thing."

Nathan jumped out of hiding behind her and she screamed in fright. She smacked him out of annoyance as he laughed and groaned. "I thought I would never see the Express again," he sighed and walked to Alexia's side. "If it weren't for you, my dear, I'd never see it again."

Alexia stared at the train and let out a breath. She nodded at him and continued forward as the two followed her while having idle chit chat.

Lavinia walked along King's Cross Station with her cart and ignored the busy Muggles surrounding her. She looked up at the different platforms and hummed to herself. 'Hm, Platform Nine and Three Quarters...'

"Excuse me," she heard Harry say and turned towards him to see he was talking to a man near a train. "Sir, can you tell me where I might find Platform Nine and Three Quarters?"

"You think you're being funny, do ya?"

Harry watched the man leave inside the train and frowned slightly, confused.

"It's the same thing every year. It's always packed with Muggles here," Molly stated as she walked by them with her five kids. "Come on, Platform Nine and Three Quarters this way!"

Without hesitation, Harry and Lavinia followed them until they walked side by side. He noticed her cart and faced her. He raised his brows and sent her a shy smile. "H-Hi."

She didn't reply to him but she eyed him quietly with her green eye and looked away.

The two of them stopped in unison when they saw the Weasleys stopping before platform nine and ten.
