The next unfortunately both Lianna and Malfoy woke up late and were in a rush to reach the train station. Lucius was down in the living room watching his magic wrist watch and time went by.

Lucius yelled

"Its September 1st not Christmas! I want you three down in 5 minutes or else Im leaving without you!"

"Just a minute! Draco forgot his pair of winter jackets!" Narcissa yelled back as she stuffed Draco's suitcase with the jackets but the suitcase already looked like it was over stuffed but who's going to stop Narcissa Malfoy when it comes to spoiling her son?

After 6 minutes, Lucius turned around and turned the door knob with a click and all three of them came rushing down

"Dad! Me and Lianna are the ones supposed to be studying in Hogwarts not you! You can't leave without us" Draco said  as he sprinted towards his father and got in the car shortly later. Followed by him the other three got in the car too.

Right now Lianna and Draco along with their parents were standing between the wall of Platform Nine and Platform Ten and there was the ticket box on the wall.

"Just run through the wall honey. Its no big deal you'll feel like you have entered a realm which does not exist" Narcissa comforted the two children after seeing the nervous looks on their faces.

"After you Lia" Draco said wanting to confirm that it was a pathway and not a wall that he would collide with if he ran through it.

With a deep breath, Lianna ran forward and closed her eyes shut. Surprisingly she didn't feel that she was going to hit a wall but she felt the air around her, kids, teens, adults and pets jostling here and there. It seemed that only twenty minutes were left for the departure.
Lianna opened her eyes and saw Draco beside her saying "took you long enough to open your eyes. It seems you were waiting for the crash"

A scarlet steam engine was waiting nrxt to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express 11'O clock. Lianna looked behind herself and saw a wrought iron archway where the ticket box had been, with the word
Platform Nine and Three Quarters on it. She did it.

Smoke from the engine drifted over the heads of the chattering crowd while cats of every color wound Herr and there between their legs. Owls jolted to each other in a disgruntled sort of way over the babblr and 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 joking with their siblings and some fighting over seats. Lianna pushed her trolley at down the platform in search of an empty seat. She passed by a round faced boy who said "Gran I've lost Mimbulus Mimbletonia again.." he was teary eyed and seemed to be on the verge of breaking down
"Oh Neville, Don't worry I'll send an Owl and the plant as a parcel" his grandma reassured him.

Lianna looked at them in disbelief as she passed by thinking that he was teary eyed about a plant. He lost a plant and he's going to cry about it. She thought something serious must have happened but that seemed serious just for Neville and his grandmother.

Lianna pressed on through the crowd until she found an empty compartment near the end of the train. She put her Cat, Hanchi inside first and then started to shove and heave her trunk towards the train door. She tried to lift it but her thin arms could never.

"Want a hand?" It was one of the Red haired twins but Lia couldn't figure out which one because they looked ridiculously same.

"Yes that will be great" she said panting.
