On the morning of September 1st, Heather is sent off on the knight bus to King's cross. Once she reaches there, she looks at her ticket and furrows her brows in confusion. "9 and 3 quarters?" She mumble. "You must be joking. These English." She rolls her eyes and scoffs, walking up to the train conductor.

"Excuse me?" She says, raising her voice a bit. "Where's platform 9 and 3 quarters?"

She feels a bit stupid asking this question but how else is she gonna get on the train? The train conductor looks her up and down clearly not impressed.

"What is it with kids and that damned platform today, huh?" He complains, scoffing and shooing heather away.

Heather furrows her brows in confusion, shaking her head, thinking there must be some kind of mistake. Suddenly, she hears a high pitched, panicked voice running through the station.

"Hurry, hurry, we'll miss the hogwarts express!" The voice exclaims.

Hogwarts. That's the schools she's going to. She looks around, trying to locate the woman with the voice. Eventually finding her. She a short, plump woman, with about a million kids and bright red hair. All her kids seem to have the same hair as her too. Except for two of them. One is a raven haired boy, and the other a brown, bushy haired girl.

Heather quickly runs up the woman, pushing her trolley in front of her. "Excuse me," she says clearly. "Where's platform 9 and 3 quarters?" She asks politely. The woman looks her up and down for a moment, taking in her wavy, blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

The woman opens her mouth to speak before a man comes running up to her, interrupting. The man has gold framed glasses and has messy, raven hair, much like the boy who is being taken care of my the woman. "Sorry Molly, I-" he starts, cutting himself off and staring at Heather, letting his jaw drop.

Heather raises an eyebrow at him questioningly, wondering why he's looking at her strangely. She shakes it off and turns back to the woman. "As you were saying," Heather says, shooting a glance at the man who has just interrupted.

The woman, Molly, stares at Heather for a moment, as if she were cross. "This isn't funny, Aaliyah," she mumbles, turning back to her own kids.

Heather scowls at being called her mother's name. "Uh- my name is Heather," she corrects Molly. "My mum is Aaliyah. Molly scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, and I'm Merlin," she says sarcastically, making Heather even more confused.

"I don't see why this is such a problem. I just want to get on the platform," Heather states, crossing her arms across her chest.

Molly stares at her for a few seconds, scowling angrily. Suddenly the man who barged in a few moments ago, butts into the conversation.

"I'm sorry, did you say that your mum is Aaliyah? As in Aaliyah Williams?" He questions, staring Heather down.

Heather turns to him with a surprised expression and raised eyebrows. "You know her?" She asks, shocked as her mum's lived in France for years. The man nods slowly but shakes it off.

"All you need to do to get on the platform is run straight at the wall in between platforms 9 and 10," he instructs, smiling at her.

Heather looks at him incredulously, but nods nethertheless. She waits for all the red haired children to run through the wall, before the raven haired boy goes. The man ruffles the boy's hair, making the boy flush a bit red and shake his head. He runs through the wall, followed by the bushy haired girl.

Heather stands where all the other children stood, before running at fast as she can at the wall. She waits for the crash, but it never comes. Instead, she met with a platform and a big red and black train in front of her. She chuckles softly before climbing on the train, going to look for a compartment.
