A/n

First off thank you for reading, second off this story will be written by two people just to let you guys know. This story actually wouldn't be possible without @Chloed1207 they posted a comment on a story which is what got us (the authors) to meet and talk about making a story together. The story will be set in the mid to late 2010s just to make it easier for us to write. English isn't either of our first languages so sorry if grammar isn't the best we really tried. Feedback is always welcome, we really enjoy reading comments. We hope you enjoy the story!

Chapter 1: The Night We Met

I start to feel my heart race as I walk to the platform with my mum following behind me. People were staring at my strangely filled trolly that includes my wand, wizarding books, my trunk filled with clothes, and my beautiful black cat with white "boots" on her paws named Botas.

"Where is the platform?" I asked my adoptive mother, all she does is shrug at me and I sigh. I look back at my ticket to make sure I'm not reading it wrong or going insane, the ticket had 'Platform nine and three quarters' imprinted on it but I still felt like I was going mad.

"There is no such thing as a 'Platform nine and three quarters'..." but my thought is cut off by two kids around my age laughing loudly and disappearing into one of the brick wall pillars like it was nothing.

"Uhhh, what just happened?" I thought. 

"I have no idea," said a boy standing next to me, he seemed oddly familiar but I couldn't quite place him.

"Did I say that out loud?" my face started to get red after hearing someone reply to my question.

"Yeah... are you looking for platform nine and three quarters too?" asked the black-haired boy.

"Yeah I assume you are too... I watched some people disappear into the pillar..." I said examining the boy's face. 'He has the same lightning scar that I have on my eyebrow' I thought. It was right about then that I noticed Mrs. Weasley standing with Ginny, Ron, Fred, and George, getting ready to go.

"Y/n? Is that you?" asked a confused but happy Ginny.

"Ginny!" I yelled out whilst running up to her and hugged my friend.

"Wow y/n not even going to hug your best friend?" Ron asked with a pouty face. "Wait your turn Ronald," I said with a warning tone on my voice.

"Y/n, dear, how have you been? I haven't seen you since last week," said Mrs. Weasley with a beaming smile on her face.

"Yeah, mum won't stop talking about how special you are, it seems to me as if she loves you more than she loves us, her own children," said Fred while walking towards me, opening his arms to give me a hug. I awkwardly wrapped my arms around him breathing in his scent of cinnamon, mint toothpaste, and a very slight amount of gunpowder. He wraps his arms around me and I just get so nervous that it doesn't last for very long, he looks disappointed in a way. It could just be my imagination.

"Mum wasn't the only one that missed you though, Fred over here couldn't stop-" George got cut off by Fred shoving his elbow into his stomach while giving him a 'shut up mate' look. I just blushed and successfully hid my face so nobody could see my reaction.

If you haven't noticed, I already knew the Weasley's, in fact, you could say I have known them since the day I was born. I was adopted by Freya and Tommy Calderon, my dad actually works at the Ministry of Magic with Mr. Weasley and that's basically how I know them; my mum on the other hand was a muggle, a neurosurgeon to be exact. My parents met when my dad and Arthur went on an adventure over at the 'muggle world', my dad being as clumsy as he is fell and hurt himself, some muggles saw what happened and took him to the hospital while Arthur admired everything around him. When he got there my mum did a neuro check and the rest is history. As for my real parents, I don't know, I just know they died when I was still a baby, I tried to get my parents to tell me what happened to them but they would always say something along the lines of 'you'll find out soon enough', so the cause of their death is still unknown to me, but I have a feeling that it will change this year. Ron holds his arms out towards me expecting a hug and I just roll my eyes and turn away. Of course, I felt bad so I quickly turned back around to hug him,

"I'm sorry Ronnie, I'm sorry I didn't mean it," I say somewhat panicking.

"Sure you didn't..." He said, elongating the end of sure while pulling out of the hug. I turn towards the dark brown-haired boy

"Oh I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Y/N," I say as I hold out my hand to the boy,

"Right, I'm Harry Potter," he said shaking my hand.

"Oh, so you're the boy my dad told me about if you ever want someone to talk to about" I paused trying to think of the best way to phrase it.

"Dead parent stuff I'm here for you, my parents are dead too so I get it. Maybe not as intense as you but I can try." I said with a sympathetic look on my face.

"Ah brilliant thank you, I'll be here as well also sorry to hear about your parents."

"Oh thank you, they died when I was a baby so I didn't really know them," I said looking down at the ground.

"All right you depressed nerds we better get going on the train it is due to leave soon," Fred said while teasing us both and messing up both of our hair.

"Do you know how to get on the platform, Dears?" Mrs. Weasley asked both Harry and me. "I see that Tommy isn't here to help, do you want us to help you guys out?" she continued.

"If it's not too big of an issue, that would be really nice," said Harry.

"Ohh don't be silly, just look at what they do okay?" we just nod and that was all Molly needed.

"Right. Fred, you first" said Mrs. Weasley as she looked at the two redhead boys.

"He's not Fred, I am." said George with an 'angry' tone.

"Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother," said Fred with a disappointed look on his face.

"Ohhh I'm sorry George," she said as she ushered Fred to start running.

Fred was about to run when he said "I'm only joking, I am Fred", but before Molly could say anything he ran straight through the wall.

"Now no need to be afraid, dear just run through it and the train will be right there," Molly said with a hand on Harry's back. Ron gave Harry an encouraging look and off he went, but before he could even process what was going on he looked at me and gave me a 'hope I don't die' face to which I took the liberty to laugh at.

Finally, it was my turn to run through but before I attempted it my mum pulled me back to say our goodbyes because she's still a muggle and the possibilities of her running through the wall without breaking her nose are nonexistent.

"Y/n honey, be careful okay? Don't forget to text me or send me an owl if you have any questions, or if the boys are bothering you too much. I'll be sure to talk with them." said my mum while tears threaten to come out of her eyes.

"Mum don't cry please, and of course, I'll keep you updated on everything there's nothing for you to worry about," I said trying to calm my mother down, surprisingly it worked so I started walking to get in the correct position to run but I was stopped by my mum pulling me back and giving a very very tight hug, I honestly thought I would have passed out if she kept it going for two more seconds.

"I really have to go mum, I love you so much"

"I love you too sweetie, be careful. Don't forget to text your dad, he's very sad that he had to miss this."

"I will mum don't worry" and I started running, I braced myself for impact but I didn't hit anything, actually I ended up on Platform nine and three quarters with Harry and the rest of the Weasley siblings by my side. Soon after that, we were joined by Ginny and Mrs. Weasley.

"You're gonna miss the train, go on," said Mrs. Weasley with a worried look on her face that we might miss the train. Everyone went running to one of the train's entrances and once we did so the Hogwarts Express started moving.

"Don't forget to owl! You too Y/n!" Molly yelled and waved goodbye with Ginny. We all nodded and waved.
