(Y/n) POV

I walk down the train platforms with Hagrid and Harry taking in the scale of the massive station.

Hagrid stops and takes out his watch, but as he looks at it his eyes widen. "Blimy, is that the time?! Sorry Harry, (Y/n) but I must get goin'. Dumbledore will be wantin' his.. err... well he'll be wantin' to see me," he says then reaches into his pocket, "now, here's yer tickets. Now that's very important that is, so stick to yer ticket."

Harry and I look down at our tickets and I immediately become puzzled.

"But, Hagrid, this ticket says platform nine and three quarters. There's no such thing, is there?" Harry asks and we both look up, only to see Hagrid missing.

"He's gone.." I whisper to myself.

"Common, we need to get our trolleys," Harry says, taking my hand in his and leading me through the crowd to our luggage.

Once we've collected our trolleys we slowly make our way towards platforms nine and ten. But when we get there we find there's no platform nine and three quarters.

I immediately begin to worry. Harry sees me and rubs my arm for a second.

"It's okay.. look, we can ask that platform guard for directions," he says.

I nod and start towards the guard. "Excuse me? Excuse me, but could you tell us where to find platform nine and three quarters?" I ask.

"Nine and three quarters? Think you're being funny, do ya?" The guard asks then walks off muttering about kids these days.

I'm about to start panicking when a woman's voice catches my attention. "Same every year, packed with muggles. Come on, platform nine and three quarters this way!"

Harry and I exchange excited glances before following the woman.

We stop a few meters behind her and watch the family of redheads.

"You first, Percy," the woman says and the eldest son runs straight at the wall. I'm about to call out to him when he runs right through the wall. I rub my eyes and look at Harry, who is staring at the wall with his mouth slightly open. "Fred, you next," the woman says, pointing at one of twins.

"He's not Fred, I am!" The other twin says.

"Honestly woman, and you call yourself our mother," the first one says.

"Oh, sorry George," the woman says.

The first twin runs to the wall. "Only joking! I am Fred!" He shouts over his shoulder as he goes through the wall, his twin close behind him.

The last son is just about to go when Harry steps forward. "Excuse me! B-but can you tell me h-how to," he starts to explain before the woman finishes for him, "how to get onto the platform? Yes, it's Ron's first year at Hogwarts as well!" The boy waves at Harry, "now. All you have to do, is head directly at the wall between platforms nine and ten. Best do a bit if a run if you're nervous," she explains.

"Good luck," a girl standing next to the woman says.

Harry looks back at me. "I'll see you soon, (Y/n)," he says, before running through the wall.

Ron runs through the wall next and before I know it I'm through the wall as well.

"Woah.." I say as I look around.

The train whistle blows and I quickly bord the train.

I walk around for a bit, looking for a compartment. Suddenly, I'm pulled inside a compartment.
