Smoke billowed through the crowded platforms of Kings Cross. Commuters rushed by in a frenzy, back and forth, trying to reach their trains on time. The large marble clock read 9:34 as a small group of people hurried towards platforms 9 and 10.

However when Rolf the security man returned from his inspection of platform 10 he noticed that many of the weirdo's seemed to have disappeared. Suddenly he saw an entire family walk straight up to the barrier between the two platforms and vanish. He stopped blinking a couple of times and rubbed his eyes vigorously but they did not reappear. Deciding he had had to much to drink the night before he headed back to the guard station to fill out some papers he had put off. More and more strangely dressed people disappeared through the barrier, some casually leaning through it, some running straight at it until finally only the little family with the large trunks were left on the platform.
