When Reyana Black sat through her ride to Hogwarts a piece of advice came to her mind. Something she would always remember to tell the younger students.

When you are riding a train make sure that you never share your compartment with redheads and blondes. Reyana thought.

Then she would proceed to ask the student,

Do you know why?

The answer is simple, you WILL regret it.

Let us rewind a little and start. It was the first of September now. Reyana had escaped the Red Room and had been successfully hiding in the Leaky Cauldron in London. She was now standing on the platform that, Severus Snape, the Potions Master and the Head of the Slytherin house, had told her about. Standing at Kings Cross Station ready to board the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All she had to do now was go to the platform nine and three quarters. The only thing between that and her was a stone wall.

There was a big plastic number nine over one platform and a big plastic number ten over the one next to it, and in the middle, nothing at all.

And according to the instructions that dear Uncle Grumpy (she hadn't been kidding about the nickname. He did sound a little mad but also humoured in one of the letters she had written him in the past month.) gave, all she had to do was run straight through the wall. But she wasn't so sure. But then again, she had decided to trust Snape and he did not seem like someone who would go around pranking. That thing was something Reyana was definitely sure of. Professor Snape was not one for pranks.

So, putting all her trust in the Potions Master she pushed her trolley around and stared at the barrier. It looked very solid.

She started to walk toward it. People jostled her on their way to platforms nine and ten. Reyana walked more quickly. She was going to smash right into that barrier and then she'd be in trouble—leaning forward on her cart, she broke into a heavy run—the barrier was coming nearer and nearer—she wouldn't be able to stop—the cart was out of control—she was a foot away—she closed her eyes ready for the crash—
