Sakura packed her things, tomorrow was the day she finally went to Hogwarts. The excitement bubbled in her stomach as she scratched her cat between its ears and under its chin.

She had decided to name it Elizabeth, Liza for short, because she really liked that name.

Other than the things the school wanted her to bring, Sakura brought other things like a tiny unicycle, a recorder (the instrument), an air horn, a kazoo, supplies to make slime, Dorito chips and Mountain Dew. She figured she would need it.

Sakura lied in her poor excuse of a bedroom, Liza mewing as she climbed onto her belly and curling up to sleep. Sakura gave it one last pat before falling asleep.

Bang!

Sakura woke up, again, with her head hitting against the short ceiling. Elizabeth screeched and jumped off Sakura, meowing slightly after that. She laughed at the cat and came out her cupboard room.

"Today's the day!" Sakura huffed in excitement, picking Liza up and walking to the breakfast table. Her parents smiled proudly at her.

"Can't believe this is happening!"

"Me too."

Her parents mumbled to each other, Sakura felt her face heat up from embarrassment. "Dad, Mum, I have to be at the station before 11!"

"Alright, dear, don't get too worked up." Sakura's parents reassured her.

Sakura did a double check of the things in her trunk before leaving. Her family took the bus there, which was why they left early, they reached the train station by 10:40 and left Sakura there.

"I guess we can't follow you, because we're... what are they called?" Her dad said, scratching the back of his head.

"Muggles."

"Yeah, that. Well... see you during Christmas?" Sakura's dad said hopefully, Sakura nodded. Her parents left and Sakura pushed her trolley to Platform 9.

Sakura noticed that the platform on her ticket didn't exist, she would have asked around but she didn't want to look insane.

Just then, she saw a woman with her child, or children since there were 2 kids there with her, pointing to a wall and looking like she was directing a boy to a wall between platforms 9 and 10.

After the woman was done talking to the boy, he ran through the wall.

Sakura rubbed her eyes in amazement and thought, "That has to be it!"

She pushed her trolley towards the woman and asked, "How do I get to Platform 9 and 3/4?"

"Oh, dear, just go through the wall. You can run if you're too scared." The women kindly said, gesturing the wall in front of her.

Sakura looked at the wall, then at the woman. She tilted her head and shrugged.

She pushed the trolley through the wall and screamed, "YOLOOOOO!" And summersaulted into the wall.

Meanwhile, The girl with white poofy hair happened to be in front of the wall at that time, the trolley hit her and she caught herself before she fell.

"What the heck?" The girl looked behind her at the trolley when she suddenly saw a girl coming out of the wall. Well, more off, summersaulting out of the wall.

Sadly, Sakura landed on Her. She served as a floor mat as Sakura did a perfect landing on her.

"Oops! Sorry!" Sakura got off the girl and held her hand out. She grunted and got up, without taking Sakura's hand, she looked even more flustered than the last time Sakura saw her.

"Sorry! What's your name? I'm Sakura Narita." Sakura introduced herself.

"I'm Wanda Lucia." Wanda said annoyingly.

Wanda folded her arms and narrowed her eyes at Sakura, "Are you a muggleborn?"

"Yep!" Sakura was proud of that, being a witch and a muggle. Plus she was a dank memer.

Wanda rolled her eyes, "Cooool."

"Wanna sit on the train together?"

"W-What?"

"Wanna. Sit. To-ge-ther?"

"Well- Um- Ok?" Wanda stuttered, she was taken back by the question. She didn't wanted to be too rude to the muggle and say no. "But I'm not sitting next to you because you asked or anything!"

"Fine by me! C'mon!" Sakura pushed her trolley and gestured for Wanda to follow, Wanda followed but pretended to go reluctantly.

As they sat down, someone else walked to the compartment door. She had blonde hair and pale skin. She looked a bit dazed and her mind seemed to be wandering off.

"May I sit with you guys?" The girl asked, her voice was soft and a hint of cute.

Wanda shook her heads but Sakura nodded fiercely, "YES! Come sit with us!"

"Thank you." She sat down next to Wanda, who was sitting directly in front of Sakura. Wanda got up and shifted her place next to Sakura. The girl didn't seemed bothered.

"I'm Luna Lovegood, you are?" The girl, Luna, introduced.

"Sakura Narita!"

"Wanda Lucia."

"Nice names, did your parents get Narmoons to inspire them to get those names?" Luna said, she didn't looked like she was joking or being sarcastic.

Sakura giggled while Wanda raised a brow, they both said in unison, "What's that?"

"Creatures that come when their names are called, they help give the summoner a good name to use." Luna explained, Wanda wanted to say something about it but Sakura took out something that caught her attention.

"What's that?" Luna pointed at the recorder Sakura took out.

Sakura held back a giggle and said, "It's a recorder! An instrument you blow into and make music with!"

"Music, you say? Let's hear some!" Wanda leaned back and waited for Sakura to play.

Sakura let out a wheeze and a giggle before putting her lips on the mouth piece. She began playing a terribly off-keyed song of Hegwig's theme.

Luna stared questionably and Wanda gave a bruh look. Sakura played the last few notes of the song with a kazoo and she waited to see everyone's reaction.

"What. The. Heck." Wanda stared at Sakura, Luna shifted a few inches away from Sakura.

Sakura let out a fit of giggles that was contagious, soon, everyone else was laughing.

"Hey!" A girl with messy brown hair stood at the doorway, stopping everyone from laughing, "Have you guys seen a toad around here? Neville Longbottom lost his pet toad."

The trio shook their head, Luna adding that a cat probably ate it. The girl rolled her eyes and walked away.

"Speaking of cats, I have a pet kitten. Its name is Elizabeth, Liza for short." Sakura was wearing a pink jacket and the kitten was sleeping in her zipped up jacket.

Sakura unzipped her jacket and brought out the kitten, who yawned and woke up with a mew. The other girls cooed, "awwwww" as they scratched the kitten's belly.

"Do you guys want any snacks? I'll go get some." Luna asked, getting up from her seat. Both Wanda and Sakura nodded. "Okay, I'll help pay." And she left.

Sakura looked out the window, petting Liza and staring off in the distance. She couldn't wait to reach Hogwarts.
