Harry Potter: The Next Generation

The Hogwarts Express

I had the best dream ever last night. I dreamt that me and my two best friends all ended up in Slytherin house, and that we'll all had gotten on the Quidditch team(since first years are allowed to try out for the team now). It was just amazing, I was the teams seeker, Kimberly was the keeper and Leah was a chaser. I also dreamt that there was two of me, except she had ginger hair and was in Gryffindor....weird.

I watched Scorpius pack his clothes for school in a hurry,(see he is not as smart as I am, I packed mine last night). As soon as he was packed we were out the door so we would not be late, because the Hogwarts Express leaves at exactly 11:00. It was 10:30 now. It's going to be a close call.

*************************at Kings Cross Station***************************

I was a little nervous about getting on the platform, because Scorpius told me I had to run at a wall. I've never been on the platform before, because Dad wanted me to experience going on the platform for my first day of school and not a day sooner.

I watched my brother run at a brick wall, I couldn't watch I didn't want him to deliberately hurt him self by running into a wall. But when I looked up he was gone and so was Mum.

"Dad where did Mum and Scorpius go" I asked

"They are on Platform 9 3/4 right now" he replied

"But how? How did they get on the platform?"

"By running straight at the wall between platform 9 and 10." He said. "We'll do it together, OK"

I nodded.

"Ready.....One.....Two.......Three"

We started to run and I closed my eyes when I opened them I found myself on platform 9 3/4.

I saw Mum and Scorpius as soon as I got on the platform. Then I notice the huge train starring me right in the face. The Hogwarts Express.

Scorpius and I found a compartment with my friends and I was able to wave goodbye to Mum and Dad, as I would be gone until Christmas. And then the trained pulled out of the station.

As I was talking to Leah and Kim, Scorpius was talking to some of his friends that he met last year. They were talking about Quidditch plays......I think.... Anyways Leah, Kim and I were talking about what to expect when we get to Hogwarts...again....more or less the same conversation we always have, how we get to the castle, what the great hall will look like, what houses we will be put in, and so on. I just couldn't wait to get there and see it all for myself.

The ride on the train seemed to take forever, but soon enough we are putting on our uniform so we could be ready when the train stops. Then before we knew it, we could see it. We could see the school. My heart was up in my throat with nervousness and excitement. I just couldn't wait for the train to stop so I could finally start my first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
