Night and Bad Faith

Platform 9¾

It was the first of September. The beginning of the term of Hogwarts. Sellaria came into her room, with the idea to wake her. But Lettara had not slept. He sat quietly on her bed, dressed in black Hogwarts robes. She turned to her mother and smiled confidently.

''I think I'm ready for Hogwarts..''

Her father burst into the room after her mother. In his eyes clearly spelled pride, but also fear. Lettara picked up the cat and her father called one of the servants to take her suitcases. They walked down a long hallway, dimly lit, but it's walls had no pictures. It was wet and cold.

' Where are we going?'', the young witch was very confused at the sight of the corridor.

''To Mickey, our home ghost, he will take us to King's Cross station, where you will catch the second train to Hogwarts.'', answered Nikolaj. 

''What is house ghost'', whispered Lettara to her mother.

''This is a creature, you can call him ghost or elf, which helps with the housework. Any rich sorcerer's family had such an elf. But before you were born we freed him from that position'', replied her mother.

''Freed? How?''

''To free a house-elf you must give him clothes. But Mickey was helping us, because he like us.''

Nikolaj opened the big door and Mickey was waiting outside. He's waving to his masters.

''King's Cross station, Mickey. Our daughter will study at Hogwarts.'', boasted Nikolaj.

''Mickey is happy about Lettara!'', his shrill voice annoyed Nixana. 
Before Mickey could catch the hands of the family to magiport them to the station, Lettara withdrew. 

''Um .. I wanted to ask you something ... may.. may I go alone?''

This desire deeply surprised her parents, and even their house elf.

''Well .. if you decided so .. why not'', answered Sellaria indecisive and with frustrated smile. Her father was smiling the same way. They hoped at least to send her to the station.

''Well, if that is your wish... now.. Be careful there, do not break the rules, find decent friends..'', said Nikolaj.

''And write us everyday!'', added Sellaria.

''And remember, there's no matter what is your house, you know? Whether Slytherin, whether Gryffindor, Hufflepuff ... tevery house has its own amazing story. Have fun and study.''

Her parents smiled furtively, then hugged strongly Letara. Mickey pulled out a thin book with leather covers.

''Mickey gives you that. Read it on the way to school. It's about the houses, subjects and teachers.'', shyly said the elf.

''Speaking of teachers.. We spoke with Professor Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts,  he knows about the Moonlight order and everything, okay?'', said Sellaria.

''Now you go with the later train. You will not travel with the students. Albus wants you to show up dramatically in the hall.'',continued Nikolaj.
The family laughed and Mickey took Letara's hand, which means it's time to leave.

                                                                       .              .             . 

  The last thing she saw before Mickey teleported her to the station were smiles of her parents. Mickey went back in Romania, immediately after leaving Lettara on the station.

The girl waited for the next train and later realized that this is not platform 9¾. It was in full of muggles, people who do not have a drop of magic in them. Lettara panicked and opened the book that Mickey had given her, hoping to find out how to arrive on time to the platform. She fell on the Slytherin page and read:

Founded by the wizard Salazar Slytherin thousands of years ago. The symbol of the house is a snake. In this house are accepted mostly pureblooded wizards ..

The sorceress stopped reading, recalling for the platform. She's leafing the pages until her eyes not saw a paragraph explaining how to get to King's Cross. Inside it reads:

     After magicians arrived at the muggle station in London, they have to go through the wall between platform 9 and 10 platform.

This information was written in the history of the house Ravenclaw and this indignantLettara, because she could not find it. She saw the wall, but around her was full of muggles, someone could see her and her cat enough attracted attention. But she wa slate, and that worried her more. Running toward the wall, along with the cat and suitcases, she closed her eyes. She didn't open them until she ran into a wall. Falling on the ground, she expected the taunts of the muggles, but nothing like that happened. She stood up, looking surprised. It was King's Cross station, platform 9¾. Passing through the wall, she has crashed into the opposite wall, which was plain. The train was already waiting for her. She quickly dragged the suitcases and the cat. She came in the second compartment and sat down on the seat and the train departed. 

''Are they going to like me, Nix? I have studied many spells even I can cast my patronus perfect ... that's spell that protects you against dementors, the guards in prison for wizards Azkaban, if you do not know. The patronus takes the form of an animal, which is a reflection of your soul. Let me show you.'', said proudly Lettara.

Nixana sat patiently and Lettara pulled out her wand.

''Expecto Patronum!''

From the end of her wand appeared a silver light in the form of a wolf. The wolf ran merrily around Letara and bared his teeth when he saw someone enter the cabin. It was a witch that offers Lettara food. The wolf disappeared, and Lettara refused the witch.

''Oh, you perform your patronus! It is very beautiful magic, indeed. It will protect you, even in your darkest moments.'', she said softly.

Letlara only smiled in response, and Nixana lay down, throwing tail, dissatisfied with the fact that her patronus is not a cat. Lettara sat back down and continued to talk about the spells that she learned over the years.

''Stupefy - stuns, Expelliarmus - disarms, Alohomora - unlocking spell, Crucio - unforgivable curse for torture ... Lumos, Nox, Riddikulus, Sectumsempra, Everte Statum, Obliviate ...''

Lettara repeated the spells until she fell asleep.
