Years of Graces life went by without any real meaning , the same routine , Get up , eat , go to school , avoid her uncle , eat dinner , sleep .

But the hunt made life feel like living the joy to run by her sisters and laugh with the little girls .
Life was everything it was meant to be for her.
But as we all know by now it can't stay perfect for long , Artemis worried something was coming an she was right it was coming fast

1991 September 01.  10:32 am
Harry hurried through Kings Cross Station in an attempt to find platform nine and three-quarters when he heard  " packed with muggles of course"
'Muggles' Harry thought confused and headed towards the kind yet loud voice ,
He slowly edged towards the family of redheads and to his surprise he heard " now what's the platform number?" the boys, mother asked "9 3/4" piped a small girl also redhead who was holding her mothers hand "Mum can't I go" "you're not old enough,Ginny  now be quiet . alright, Percy, you go first" . what looked  like the oldest boy march towards platform nine and 10, but just as the boy reach the dividing barrier between the two platforms, a large crowd of tourists came swarming in front of him, and by the time the last backpack had cleared away the boy had vanished.

"Fred, you next" ,the plump woman said
"I'm not Fred I'm George",said the boy, "honestly woman you call yourself our mother. Can't  you tell I'm George", " Sorry George dear" "only joking I am Fred" , the boy said
His twin called after him to hurry up and he must've done so, because second letter he had gone-but how has he done it now the third brother was walking briskly towards the barrier.
He was almost there, and then quite suddenly  . He wasn't anywhere.

There was nothing else for it .
"Excuse me" Harry said "hello dear , she said first time at Hogwarts , Ron's new too."
She pointed out the last and youngest of her sons she was tall, thin and gangling with freckles big hands and feet and a long nose. "Yes" ,Harry said, "the thing is — the thing is I don't know how to—"
"How to get onto the platform" she said kindly and Harry nodded. "Not to worry." She said "all you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and 10. Don't stop don't be scared your crashed into it that's very important best we had a bit of a run if you're nervous, go on now before Ron."
"Err,okay" said Harry
He pushed his trolley around and stared at the barrier. It looked very solid.
He started to walk toward it. People jostled him on their way to platforms nine and 10, Harry walked more quickly. He was going to smash right into the barrier and then he be in trouble. Leaning forward on his cart. He broke into a heavy run. The Barrier was coming nearer and nearer he wouldn't be able to stop, the cart was  out of control. He was a foot  away. He closes eyes ready for the crash , it didn't come, he kept on running he opened his eyes. 
Anscarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, eleven o' clock. Harry looked behind him and saw a wrought-iron archway where the barrier had been, with the words Platform Nine and Three-Quarters on it. He had done it.

Smoke from the engine drifted over the heads of the chattering crowd, while cats of every color wound here and there between their legs. Owls hooted to one another in a disgruntled sort of way of the babble and the scraping of heavy trunks.

The first few carriages were already packed with students, some hanging out of the window to talk to their families, some fighting over seats. Harry pushed his cart off down the platform in search of an empty seat. He passed a round-faced boy who was saying, "Gran, I've lost my toad again."
