The whistling of trains rang in Eddie's ears as he entered the train station. "You ready, Eds?" Said Stanley, clutching his trolley. His owl squawked, which caused concerned looks from the other "muggles"as Stanley called them. "Yeah, I think so." He said taking a puff from his inhaler. "How do we get on this train, anyways?" Eddie asked. "The barrier between platforms 9 and 10 holds the secret entrance to the magical platform that can only be accessed by running straight ahead." He said. Eddie furrowed his eye brows. "We run directly into the barrier?" Asked Eddie, who was rethinking this whole situation. Stan shrugged. "Yeah." He said. Eddie pulled a doggy treat out of his carry-on bag and popped it into Spaghetti's mouth, who barked in appreciation. "This better not be a prank, Stan." He said. Stan rolled his eyes and chuckled. The Pomeranian in Eddie's arms barked at him. "Give me your bones!" Stanley shouted at it and then giggled at his own joke. (Book reference ;) )
"You really have the weirdest sense of humour, Stanley." Eddie said. Stanley stuck out his tongue. They heard voices coming from between platform 9 and 10. "Come on, Bill," the female voice said. "Run on through." Eddie could tell they were American. Stanley and Eddie approached to see a tall lady with a six year old boy clutching onto her. She was ushering a boy towards the barrier . It was Bill Denbrough, One of Stanley and Eddie's best friends. "Bill!" Stanley waved at the boy. "Stan? Eddie?" Bill said adjusting his eyes on them. "Your wizards too!?" He said. Thankfully none of the muggles heard him but his mother shushed him. "Yeah, I guess." Said Eddie. "Yay!" Said Bill. "I hope I g-get in to G- gryffindor!"
Stanley smiled. "I hope I get into Hufflepuff." Eddie frowned. "I'm still not 100% sure what they are but,cool." He said. "Boys, you're going to miss the train." Mrs. Denbrough said. Bill hugged his mom and his brother. He then grabbed his trolley and ran into the barrier. Somehow he seemed to disappear. Eddie looked around at the muggles to see if they noticed. They were oblivious. "I'm scared, Stan." Eddie admitted. Stanley smiled. "We'll go together." He said. The two grabbed their trolleys and ran into the barrier. Eddie felt a sudden rush of air as he arrived out the other side into a platform. There was a sign that read "platform 9/3 quarters." Eddie took a puff from his inhaler. Stanley turned to Eddie. "Wasn't that Bad, Eds." He said. Eddie shrugged. Bill indicated them to come on. They gave their trolleys to the train driver who loaded them into the train. The three boys hopped onto the train and it let out a puff of smoke. Eddie coughed. The three entered a train compartment and sat down. Eddie gazed out the window at the different weirdly dressed, English wizards and witches. Eddie knew this wasn't a dream. The train hooted and started moving. "Here we g-go!" Hollered Bill. There was a knock on the completed door. A boy entered. "M-mike!?" Bill said as the boy entered. "Hey,Bill." The boy said. "Can I sit with y'all?" Bill and the boys nodded. "How did you find out you were a wizard?" Stanley asked Mike. "My parents were wizards," he said. "I got a letter to this school and my grandfather came clean." Stanley nodded. "My parents are wizards," Stanley said. "I always knew, but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone. "What about you, Bill?" Asked Eddie. Bill shrugged. "M-my parents are m-muggles," he stuttered. "I-I think m-my grandm-ma was a W-witch." Stanley nodded and they all turned at Eddie. "My dad was a wizard." He said. He blinked his tears back. The boys heard a knock on the compartment door. Beverly Marsh entered. "Hey, guys." She said placing herself down. There was a murmur of "hey" and "hi."

There was easy conversation between the kids. They instantly became friends. A woman knocked on the door. "Any thing from the trolley, dears?" She said. The children eyed the trolley of candy she had. "We'll take the lot." Said Eddie pooling in his money.

The children feasted on pumpkin pasties, chocolate frogs, Acid Pops, Bat's Blood Soup,
Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Cauldron Cakes, Charm Choc,
Chocoballs and Chocolate Cauldrons.
Eddie coughed out a vomit flavour jelly bean. "That was fucking disgusting!" He said brushing off his tongue. The kids chuckled. Stanley got a chicken flavour one. "The birds!" He screeched "ה ו ה, wave the birds!" He chugged down some pumpkin juice. Eddie snorted with laughter. "Oh, how the turn tables!" He chuckled. A boy banged on the compartment door. Bill hesitantly opened it. There was Henry Bowers, the ruthless bully from their hometown. "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me!" Said Stanley. The Mullet- wearing boy chucked. "Hey dibshits!" He said. "Wait until I get to Hogwarts, I'll jinx your crusty asses." He then slammed the compartment door. Everyone inside the the compartment burst out with laughter. "I'll jinx your crusty asses." Beverly mocked in a deep voice. Everyone burst out with giggles.

This was going to be a fun train ride.
