This Was Not The Plan | Mattheo Riddle

Part 2

Allison's POV

Once the car entered London, my father proceeded to lecture me about 'How I'm ruining the family name' and 'I should be more like my brother' all the usual you know.

I must say one thing I miss about Beauxbatons is that my parents never came to drop me off, I just got in the car and left but honestly if I spend another minute in this car I'm going to Avada kedavra myself.

Luckily we arrive at King's Cross, while I'm taking my stuff out of the car my parents are giving my brother hugs and telling him to write to them and when it's my turn to say goodbye. And guess what I got? A Merlin damn wave and a warning from my father saying "You better behave while your here, if I hear from anyone in the ministry that you have done anything remotely bad you will regret ever getting the option of coming here you hear me".

I stare at me feet while he says all this, I mean it's embarrassing to be berated by your own father in public, let alone in the muggle work. Once he stops talking I look up, wanting to say one thing before he disappears but him and my mother are both in the car driving off.

I look at Jake who shrugs, he walks to the entrance where there are muggle trollies to grab two for the both of us. He walks back over and pushes mine at me "What was that for?" He looks at me before laughing "No reason, just felt like it. I mean for the first time ever you're going to Hogwarts, and you get to meet all of my friends".

I shrug "What if they don't like me?" I ask while loading my bags into the trolly, "Allie, trust me they are going to love you. The girls are going to love you, and hopefully no boys will" I push his shoulder "Oh shove off, I'm here to focus on school and not burning it down, rather then boys" He looks at me and nods.

Still in conversation about boys, me and Jake mate our way to platform 9 3/4. Jake stops for a moment, looking around to see if anyone's watching "Jake why do you look like you're going to run into a wall?" He looks at me and laughs "Because dear sister, that is exactly what I'm going to do, and so are you"

I look at him as if he's grown two heads "I beg your finest pardon" he chuckles "Yeah so currently we're in the muggle world, and we want the magic world so to get there you have to run through this wall".

Honestly I'm too confused to even do this, so I nod at him before he runs into the wall and disappears. For a pure blood, magic still amazes me. After a minute of contemplating, I look around to see if anyone's watching and when I'm sure no one isn't, I run straight into the wall expecting impact for there to be none.

Once I open my eyes, they immediately take in the surrounding scenery. Just like a normal train station it had a clock showing the times, different platforms for different trains. Then standing in all its beauty, there stood the famous Hogwarts Express. Which turns out doesn't even go to Hogwarts but instead goes to Hogsmeade in which students take a carriage, or boats if it's your first year, to the castle.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and see Jake standing beside me "It's a beauty isn't it, I remember my first time here I was so confused" I look at him "To be honest I can tell why, it's so muggle like?" He nods before moving me forward a bit to let someone walk behind us "Well I mean it's a train station, I don't know how you would make it more magical"

I shrug before he says "How about we get on the train, put our stuff away and I can introduce you to everyone" I give him a simple nod before we start to walk towards the scarlet coloured train.

We enter one of the side doors, and begin to make our way through the train. I look through the compartments glass and see friends reuniting, people becoming friends and people who obviously have feelings for eachother. As we continue to make our way to the back of the train I question Jake "Why are we going all the way to the back when there are plenty of free carriages?"
