Today's the day I ride the Hogwarts Express and become a witch. I'm so excited! "Alright, Rissy, right here between platforms 9 and 10, just run right through with your trunk and Olive. It won't hurt, as long as you run fast!" Hagrid told me.
I glared at the brick wall. I forgot about this part!!! I took a deep breath and didn't look back. "Bye Mom! I love you! Write to me!" I exclaimed.
"Bye sweetie! And I will!" I heard her call back as I disappeared with Hagrid onto Platform 9 3/4.
I looked around and saw previous and soon-to-be witches and wizards eyeing the scarlet train with awe. I did the same. It was beautiful.
When I stepped on, I noticed that everyone knew each other. All having the British accents. And I'm the weird American. I'm the outsider. I heard Hagrid say goodbye to me, and he said he would see me when we reached Hogwarts. I can't believe this is happening.
