In the Rain

The Train Station

 Madison's point of view 

The train station was a mess. People running around with little carts, kissing their families goodbye, secretly reading to start school. They didn't know. They don't know the bad part of life. They get whatever they want. High tuition fee schools with a bank full of gold. They will never understand death or anything remotely close. I was still recovering from my tragic loss in this dang family. Nonna was gone. Everything I loved, gone. Everything I've ever cared about, gone, forever. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. I needed to get back to New York City for honestly, no apparent reason. There was nothing there. All my luggage was with me and there wasn't anything left at my apartment. Partly because I didn't have enough money to pay for rent. 

"Oh, sorry!!! I'm so sorry!" I told a man a ran into by accident. He had black, beautiful hair. He looked about my age. 

"Not to worry. Are you okay?" He asked me kindly. 

"Yeah," I told him. 

"You seem upset?" He asked. 

"Um... Well I just got back from the hospital. Bad news. But I'm fine. I'm okay."

"Tell me. I've got plenty of time. Not if you don't want to," he said. He was so sweet. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to let out everything that had happened. I would break down into tears and he would regret ever talking to me in the first place. But I didn't know him really. Why not. 

Harry's point of view 

I ran into a gorgeous girl at the train station. I felt so bad. She didn't look like she was in the mood for being ran into. I wasn't either. Dumbledoor died several months ago. He made Hogworts Hogworts. 

"Oh, sorry!!! I'm so sorry! She told me sweetly. 

"Not to worry. Are you okay?" I asked. "Not to worry?!" I don't say things like that. She probably thinks I'm so fancy pants going to a private school. 

"Yeah," she said. 

"You seem upset?" I was concerned about her for some odd reason.

"Um... Well I just got back from the hospital. Bad news. But in fine. I'm okay," she said. Was she pregnant or maybe something worse. 

"Tell me. I've got plenty of time. Not if you don't want to," I told her. Now it sounds like I'm a creepy stalker. 

"Okay. Let's sit down on the bench," she said pointing towards a metal bench. 

"My name is Harry," I told her. 

"I like it. My name is Madison,"

"That's beautiful," I told her. I was kinda surprised when she didn't say "Harry Potter!" but whatever.

"Thanks! So I came to London because my Nonna was very ill. I went to the hospital here to see her. But she died. And I don't have any family here or at all. But I'm okay. Really. But why are you here?"

"School. I go to school here," I told her. I wasn't sure if she was a muggle or not. I was kinda hoping she wasn't, but it really didn't matter. 

"Oh," she said kind of sadly. "Wait are you... Wait never mind," she said. I could only wonder if she meant a wizard. 

"Go ahead," I said. 

"A wizard?" she whispers. 

"Yeah! I am!" I said. 

"Really? I thought they were a myth! My Nonna would tell me stories about them," she said. 

"Yeah! I'm going off the Hogworts right now," 

"Woah! That's cool!!!" Madison said. 

I looked down at my watch. It was time for me to go.

"Look, Madison. I have to leave right now. I'm sorry!" I felt so bad just to leave her there. I didn't know what to do. I had a crazy idea, that wouldn't work. 

"Oh, I was good talking to you, Harry," I loved her accent. It was so American. It made me miss her more. 

"It was very nice talking to you!" I told her. I got up and kisses her on the right check like real gentleman do in the black and white movies. 

"I've got a crazy idea! You could ride the train to Hogworts!" 

"I do not think they'll let me through," she said. Dumbledoor wasn't there. She needed somewhere to go. 

"Just trust me!" I told her. I took her hand a walked through the brick wall into Platform 9 3/4.
