Harry Potter: Outsider

at Platform 9 3/4

The numbers curved on the little ticket and the instructions appeared as clear as crystal, but there were still no telltale signs of said platform in this muggle subway. He couldn't blame the Ministry for that, as wizards needed to stay concealed from ... well, non-magic people, but the method was too secure. It made him lost. Even his enhanced senses couldn't find the sign.

He moved his gaze to his surroundings, but couldn't find any wizards on the way to the platform. Not until spotting a boy with slight unruly black hair (and a faintly deathly scent), wearing a robe in the similar fashion, halfheartedly pushing his trolley—that was a baggage trolley, like him—with baggage on it and an owl in a cage; and near the boy, there were a whole family of red hair, the couple (calling themselves the Weasleys) guiding their five children to the platform.

Talking about Hogwarts!

Kaneki started, and the boy drove his trolley to the family too, and asked for directions to the train. The woman answered kindly that the destination could be reached by going into the column between platform 9 and 10. Then she moved on to her children and made them go into the column one by one.

And each of them disappeared into the column like ghosts.

Kaneki silently made wow's while the boy did it out loud. Then that boy reared back, pushed his trolley and launched through the column, and disappeared as well.

Kaneki did the same. As he pushed his own trolley, the column loomed closer and closer, until it filled his sight, until his being made contact — and he felt he was not walking past a solid obstacle but something incorporeal as smoke. Blackness lasted only a second and then, he saw the other side. As he arrived at the other side, he saw the Hogwarts Express, an old-fashioned train with cylinder-and-prism-like body, perched on its rail with the smoke whistling out of its chimney and swirling into the blue sky.
