SCARLET'S POV

I hugged my parents between platform 9 and 10 as I waved good bye when they left, I turned around and
looked up at the huge brick wall in front of me; platform 9 3/4... what did Prof. Dumbledore mean by that?
it only goes from 9 to 10! I think he's getting a little too old for his job. I suddenly hear a bunch of commotion and turn around; I see a bunch of red heads walk by me. But it's what she said that perked my interests,
"come on boys its packed with muggles, we have to get to 9 3/4 "
That's where I had to be! I watched her walk towards where I was standing only moments ago with about 5 children, I hid behind a wall and watched.
" Okay Fred you go first " I see two boys who looked about a couple years older than I was. They seemed to be twins: I watched as they looked at the woman with a hurt expression on their faces.
" He's not Fred I am! " one of the twins exclaimed; pointing at his brother and then to himself.
" Honestly woman you call yourself our mother! " the other replied; I stifled a giggle as the mother sighed
" Oh sorry George " she replied; then one of the boys walked towards the wall and stopped and grinned before turning around and looking back at his mom.
" I'm only kidding, I am Fred " then he ran towards the wall in front of him. I gasped and covered my eyes. But, I didn't hear a crash as I opened my eyes. My eyes widened at what I saw...he wasn't there! I watched as his twin began to run towards the same wall; this time I kept my eyes open. Then I gasped; He ran threw the wall! holy crap.
"Maybe I should talk to her" whispered to myself; walking out from behind the brick wall.

I walked up behind the lady and tapped her on the shoulder, but what I didn't notice
was that another boy with black hair and glasses came up to her as well, she turned around and looked at us.
" Um excuse me? " I ask; I didn't know how to ask her and I could tell that the boy next to me felt the same way.
" Could you, could you tell us.. " the boy stated. The lady laughed at us; knowing what we meant.
" How to get on the platform? " she finished; we nodded. She laughed once more,
" Don't worry its Ron's first time as well " she pointed at one of the red heads that looked around our age, we smiled at him and he smiled shyly at us and waved a little before we turned back to his mom .She put her hands on both of our shoulders and pointed at the brick wall.
" Now what you do is walk straight into that platform between 9 and 10, and do a little run if you're nervous okay?" we smiled and nodded at her before looking towards the wall. We both ran at it at the same time.
I closed my eyes; expecting to smash into the wall but instead I felt as if everything had slowed down in front of me, I opened my eyes and realized that we made it on the other side,
I looked at the boy beside me and smiled,
" We made it " I exclaimed; he looked over and smiled right back at me.
" Yeah we did " I brought my hand out; still smiling.
" My names Scarlet, Scarlet Jones what's your name? " he gave me a small smile before shaking my hand
" My names Harry, Harry Potter " I continued to smile at him; I think we'll become great friends. I look over and see a man taking everyone's luggage and throwing them in a little compartment on the side of the train; we take
our luggage and walked towards him, we gave our bags to the conductor and thanked him while walking up the steps.We soon found and empty compartment and walked in while closing the glass door, I looked over at the window to see mother's crying while hugging their children; Suddenly there was a knock at the door as both Harry and I turned around. The same boy from before opened the glass door and poked his head in.
" Um do you mind? everywhere else is full " we both smiled at him and shook our heads
" Not at all " Harry quickly added while the boy came in thanking us, he sat down in the seat across from us,
" I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley "
" I'm Scarlet Jones "
" And I'm Harry, Harry Potter " Ron then gasps, his face is quite funny when he does that.
" So, so its true then? do you really have the? " he then stopped; Harry looks at him confused.
" The what? " Harry asks
" The scar? " he whispers as if everyone would hear us,
" Oh " he slightly laughed as he showed us his scar that was on his forehead
" Wicked " we both laughed at his reaction. Then this lady with a trolley full of candy came by and stopped and looked at us.
" Anything off the trolley dears? " Ron took what seemed to be a tuna sandwich and held it up to the lady.
" No thanks, I'm all set " he seemed upset but tried to hide it, and before I could do anything Harry took out a bunch of money and gave it too the lady,
" We'll take the lot " we looked down at it in awe
" Whoa " was all Ron and I could say before we started grabbing handfuls of candy from the cart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had candy scattered all over the compartment, I was eating a sugar quill, Harry was trying to eat Bertie's Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and Ron well, I really don't know what he was eating.
" Bertie's Bott's Every Flavor Beans? " I giggled; reading the box from Harry's shoulder.
" They mean every flavor, there's chocolate and peppermint, and there's also spinach, liver and tripe. George swears he got a bogey- flavored one once " Harry quickly took the jelly bean out of his mouth and put it in a wrapper from before. Then he picks up what seemed to be a chocolate frog, he held it up to Ron in disgust,
" These aren't real chocolate frogs, are they? "
" Its just a spell besides its the card you want. Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard on it. I've got about 500 myself "
so I guess Harry wanted to see what he got because he tried to open it, but the frog jumped out of the window, the frog held on to the window before jumping off.
" Hey watch it! oh, that's rotten luck, they've only got one good jump " I wondered what Harry got so I leaned over and saw that he had Dumbledore!
" Hey I've got Dumbledore! "
" eh I've got about 6 of him " I looked back down at the card and saw that he wasn't there anymore.
" Hey he's gone! " both Harry and I said at once, we looked at each other and laughed
" Well you cant expect him to hang around all day can you? " we both nodded; then we heard something squeaking, we looked down and saw a rat in Ron's hand.
" This is Scabbers by the way, pitiful isn't he? " Harry and I Nodded.
" Just a little " I replied; giggling at the ugly rodent that sat on his lap.
" Fred gave me a spell to turn him yellow, want to see? " we both nodded our heads. And when he was about to start, he was interrupted by two girls who cleared their throats at the doorway, we turned and saw that one had bushy brown hair and brown eyes, and the other girl had light blue eyes and blonde hair that was pulled back in a ponytail. They looked at us and the blonde one started talking.
" Have any of you seen a toad? a boy named Neville has lost one " before we could reply the brown headed girl saw Ron's wand in his hand and raised an eyebrow.
" Oh are you doing magic? lets see then " Ron nods as he clears his throat before swishing his wand around,
" Sunshine, Daises, Butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow! " when nothing happened Ron forwned and looked at his wand. Suddenly a puff of smoke went all over Harry and Ron, the blonde haired girl and I giggled. The brown haired girl walked over the boys and sighed.
" Are you sure that's a real spell? well, its not very good is it? of course I've tried a few simple spells myself, but they've all worked out for me " she then looked at Harry and pointed her wand towards his glasses,
" Oculus Reparo " Harry's glasses began to twist and turn before they were fixed. He took them off and looked at them wide eyed,
" Now that's better isn't it? " then a look of realization came to her face,
" Holy cricket! you're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger and this is my Friend Kirsten Evens, And......you are? " she then turned towards Ron who had his mouth full of food. Nice. He looked up before taking his hand out in order to shake but it was all sticky from the candy he was eating.
" Ah.....Ron Weasley " she made a face full of disgust, I would have to if I was in her position.
"Pleasure" she replied; he then dropped his hand after getting the message. She looked over at me next,
" And, you are? " I smiled at her before shaking her hand,
" I'm Scarlet, Scarlet Jones " she smiled back at me before going back to that girl named Kirsten, but then she turned back and looked at us.
" You three should get into your robes, I'll expect we'll be arriving soon " but before she left she turned around once more and looked at Ron,
" You've got dirt on your nose by the way, did you know? just there " she then walked out followed by Kirsten I smiled and waved,
" Nice meeting you! " I don't know if they heard me or not but I don't care, I heard Ron grumbling behind me and I looked at him, he looked angry; his face was almost as red as his hair.
" Hey what's wrong Ron? " he looked at me,
" Are you sure that's a real spell? oh by the way you got dirt on your nose right there, I've tried a couple of spells and they've all worked out for me. Like honestly she's such a know-it-all " all of a sudden I felt my hair turn red of anger, I looked at them and they gasped in shock,
" She didn't mean any harm Ron! she was just teaching us! just lay off okay? " all of a sudden my hair went back to normal,
" How-how did your hair do that? " I looked at Harry and smiled,
" Oh! I'm a Metamorphmagus, its when you can change how you look from the biggest to changing you gender, to the littlest things like your hair colour, my hair changes to the mood that I'm in I was angry so it turned red; " they all nodded
" Wicked " was all they could say, I giggled, but before I could say anything else we suddenly stopped. I looked outside and saw a huge Castle in front of us as I gasped and pointed it out to the other two.
We were finally here
We made it to Hogwarts.
