The Riddles

•2

The last few days were a tad stressful but that's normal for getting ready for going back to school.

It's September 1st. First day at school and my birthday. What an amazing day to have your birthday. The day you go back to school. What better way to celebrate it.

"Y/N! You better hurry up! Your train leave soon! You can't be late on your first day! Hurry up!" I heard my aunt shout from the distance.

"I'll be down in a few minutes!" I yelled back.

"There you are. Come on, let's go before your late." She said.

"How are we getting there? Spinny thing? Floo powder?" I asked.

"We will be apparating." She said.

"What?" I questioned her remarks. She pulled out her wand and in the blink of an eye, we arrive at the train station right in between platforms 9 and 10.

"Uhm, I don't see a Platform 9 3/4, auntie." I said confusingly.

"Just run into that wall and you will see it." She told me.

"Excuse me?! You want me to run into a wall? Are you mad!" I exclaimed.

"Just do it, Y/N! You're going to be late!" She shouts. I make a run for it. I shut my eyes when I got close and I didn't feel any impact.

I looked around and saw a big, black steam train with "Hogwarts Express" on the front of it. My aunt grabbed me and took me to the enterance of the train. A man took my stuff and loaded it on board.

"I'll miss you, Y/N." She said as she gave me a hug.

"Yup. I'll miss you too. You can let go of me. Everyone is staring." I said.

"Sorry. You stay safe there, okay?" She said.

"Yes. I will. Don't worry. I love you." I said.

"I love you too. Tell Matteo I said hi." She said.

"Will do. I'll see you at some point! Bye!" I said.

"Bye dear!" She responded. I boarded the train and looked for a compartment to sit in.

They were all full. I chose the compartment that looked the less intimidating. I knocked on the door.

"Hi. Sorry to disturb you but do you mind if I sit? All the other compartments are full and this one looked the least intimidating." I said.

"Yeah, of course!" A girl said.

"Thank. I sat down next to her. "I'm Y/N, by the way."

"Nice to meet you Y/N! I'm Hermione, that's Harry with the glasses and the clueless looking one is Ron." Hermione said.

"Nice to meet you Y/N." Harry said.

"Huh, oh sorry. Nice to meet you." Ron said clearly being clueless just like Hermione said.

"So I take it you're a new student?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. I transfered from Ilvermorny in New York." I replied.

"All the way from New York! Wow. Why?" Hermione curiously asked.

"Just family related things." I said.

"What's Ilvermorny like?" Ron asked.

"It's probably no different from Hogwarts. I mean it's a school that teaches magical studies to Witches and Wizards. It has 4 houses, I don't know what else." I said.
