There were certainly weird looks sent their way as they walked through Trafalgar square towards china town. He presumed it was because of the wide range of clothes they were wearing. Most like himself were in their own versions of normal normal's (that should be muggle in the UK) clothes. Some had not bothered and were wearing their countries normal wizarding clothing. Some who he presumed were from Mahoutokoro were in a sort of highly decorative kimono that had moving characters on that he hoped the normal's did not see moving. Others were in the traditional wizarding clothes with long cloaks and pointed hats. He could not imagine how hot they must be in the weather like this.

It came as a blessed relief to every one when they spotted the station ahead of them. It looked rather grand with its large glass roof and pillars. He looked around him as they were lead through the entrance and towards the platforms.

"You have to get to platform 9 and 3/4 to get on the train to Hogwarts,"a voice behind him said to who he presumed was also someone else behind him said.

"I know that but how do we get to it?"a different voice behind him said he presumed the reply with an accent he could not quite place.

The professor who he thought was called professor Browne had lead them across to the space between platform 9 and 10 . He waited for them all to gather in front of him before he began to speak.

"We will need to go through in small groups not to draw attention but also not to block the exit," he paused he select a few different students from the rabble in front of him before carrying on,"now walk at the wall there and you will be just fine.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It took a while but finally he made it through the barrier and onto the platform. It was a strange sight that greeted him since there seemed to be someone floating around above the train. The elderly lady who was watching Ade presumed was the head teacher professor McGonagall. She seemed to be trying to hold in her laughter. The person swooping around the train had bright blue hair and was laughing openly unlike the professor. The girl at the end of the wand seemed no older than him was laughing hysterically.

"Alright Sky that's enough now you can put Teddy down,"came from the elderly professor in a sort of strained voice that she must have put on to hide her laughter. Slowly she dropped him further down the platform from them.

"See I can do non-verbal magic Teddy," obviously the boy further down the platform and her had had an argument of some form and she was trying to prove her point.

"Right well welcome to platform nine and 3/4, I am professor McGonagall head teacher of Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry and you must all be the exchange students," she paused to turn towards the others on the platform,"you will need to thank these four somewhat respectable people (she looked at Teddy and Sky) as they have given up a week of their holidays to come and help settle you lot in before the rest of the school of that are not part of the exchange arrive in a week. We will have the same sorting ceremony as everyone else gets after we arrive. The houses you are sorted into will be your family for the best part of a year so be nice to them. Now we have waited here long enough so how about we get on the train."
