Missariene Marol: Harry Potter FanFiction

Chapter 11: The Very First Day

September 1, 2018-

I did my usual morning routine and by nine, the whole house was awake. Everyone was getting ready to leave for the train station. At ten, all of us had left the house for King's Cross Station. It was 10:30 when we all reached the train station. Mrs. Weasley led all of us to Platform 9 ¾. Apparently muggles can't see anything magical because when Rose ran into a wall between platform 9 and 10, no one seemed to notice. It was actually funny how the entire situation was; I was actually nerve-wracked a bit by the whole idea of running into a wall, literally. But when I reached the other side, I couldn't describe the feeling I had. On top of the wall that I just ran into was a hanging sign with a 9 ¾, Hogwarts Express. Everywhere were children, parents, and even some pets. The train was a mahogany red, polished to its grandeur. Children were already boarding the train. By the time everyone was across to the platform, Rose was lost somewhere in the crowd. The Weasleys all scurried their way to the nearest train door, the rest of us followed quietly. At the door, everyone bid his or her farewells. I hugged Jo-Anne, Carrie, Jeremy, and Gobby. Later, everyone else hugged me. Fern was supposed to meet us at the platform but I couldn't find her. After my birthday, Fern returned home and met us frequently later on. Now that I think about it, I don't know much about Fern asides from her passion for fashion and her tendency to say impolite words. But it doesn't matter to me, its her personal life, she'll tell me when she wants to. Rose, Ronnie, Mionly, Andrew, and me got into the train, loading our luggage along with us. The train was about to leave, so saying our last farewells; we progressed into the train and tried to find an empty car. After 5 minutes of searching around, we finally found an unoccupied cabin. After getting settled, I remembered that Lily also had brothers going to Hogwarts.

"Hey, doesn't Lily also have brothers going to Hogwarts?" I asked.

"Yeah, we haven't told you about them yet, sorry." Said Rose.

"Lily has two brothers, James and Albus, both of them are in Gryffindor. James is in his fourth year and Albus is in his second." Explained Mionly.

"Oh."

There was running outside the cabin and suddenly the door opened. Fern's face poked through the gap by the door.

"There you are! I've looking for you guys for 15 minutes!" She exclaimed. Shoving through the door, she came and sat next to me. "Sorry I took long, so what's up?"

"Nothing much, I'm just glad I'm away from Mom now, she was fussing so much, I can finally have room to breathe." Said Ronnie.

"You shouldn't say that, I personally think its sweet." I said. And what does he mean by away from Mom?

"I know what you mean Ronnie. I'm also glad I got rid of my dad; he's pretty defensive and attached to me, exactly like glue or something." Said Fern.

Should they be saying this? Their parents are... "You guys really shouldn't be saying that."

"Why? Its not like they're hearing us." Asked Ronnie.

Are they kidding me? "Of course they can. They're right there." I pointed towards the open door; the adults suddenly wore a surprised expression. Ronnie and Fern looked around the car, looking confused.

"Okay, we'll play along. Hi, Dad! Followed me from the train station?" asked Fern, waving at empty space.

"I'm not kidding, can't you see them." Five shakes of the heads only confirmed my suspicion. "Mrs. Weasley, why won't you say something?" Mrs. Weasley looked at the other parents and nervously took off the cape she was wearing. Along with her, Mr. Weasley, and Ginny also took off their capes. Everyone jumped from surprise; Fern had a hand on her chest with a huff. Why are they so surprised? The parents all gave me looks that were mixed with shock, worry, and surprise while everyone else interrogated them.
