The Emeralds & The Sorcerers Stone

2. The Hogwarts Express

-September 1'st 2021-
Aliyah bearly slept. She woke up at 5 am, her alarm being set for 6. Nobody was awake so she stayed in her room until 6 in her room. She packed whatever wasn't packed yet, like her polaroid camera and the books she bought the day before.
At 6 sharp she went downstairs and ate breakfast as quickly as she could so she would have more time to get ready.
Running to her room she almost fell up the stairs but that didn't stop her whatsoever. She stopped by the laundry room to get her freshly ironed outfit and polished boots.
Aliyahs outfit was made out of her favourite clothes, her beige jumper with a white button-up shirt underneath,dark brown pleated skirt, sheer black tights and her black boots. Put her hair in a half up half down ponytail and made sure her glasses looked perfect.
Her mum and siblings were waiting next to the fireplace whilst her dad waited outide her room to help with the luggage. She quickly and genly placed Moon in her cage and went downstairs.
Her family used the Floo Powder Network to get to King's Cross. Thay then went through the wall between platform 9 and 10 yo get to platform 9 3/4 where the Hogwarts Express were to pick the children up at 8 sharp.
Aliyah scanned the platform looking for any familiar faces, she saw hundreds of faces but none she recognised. Nervous and in need of a friend she hoped Pansy or even Rose would appear. Out of nowhere, soneone hugged her from behind. It was Pansy and Aliyah was super releaved. They waited together for the train and once it appeared and they said goodbye to their parents they got on.
The train was massive having 7 different cars and holding hundreds of passengers.
Aliyah and Pansy were looking for a cart to get into when they spotted Rose sitting with another girl. They decided to sit with her.

-A:Hey Rose! Mind if we sit here?
-R:Oh not at all.
-?:Are these your friend Rosie?
-R:Ugh Mione, yes they are.
-H:"I'm Hermione Granger... and you are?
-A:Aliyah Hazelwood!
-P:Pansy Parkinson..
-H:..pleasure.

After a couple minutes of awkward silence a boy came in distraught asking if we've seen a frog named Trevor. Hermione shot up her seat and went looking for the frog wilst the rest of the girls remained seated.
Rose explained that Hermione was her sister and that their polar opposites.
The girls chatted for the whole duration of the way and Rose quickly became part of the girl's friend group.
Thus Rose Granger became Pansy and Aliyah's first friend at Hogwarts.
The students arrived at about 11:00 in the afternoon and as they were leaving the train they were welcomed by a half-gigant named Hagrid who was waving at a certain boy. The older students were whispering that the "great Harry Potter has cone to Hogwarts ".
