    Dang it I'm lost. How in the world are you supposed to get to the 9 and ¾ station? I see 9 and then ten but no 9 and ¾! I want to take out the wand I got when I went to some wizard place with this kind woman, Mcgonagall. "She was, is a kind witch" I think out loud. I can't take my wand out, people will think that I'm crazy or something!

What if this is some sick twisted joke. It probably is because wizards and witches are fictional, right? Yeah, that's what it is and I fell for it what an Idiot! How am I supposed to go back to the orph-

That can't be right. That orange haired boy just went into a wall! Oh my god! Another boy identical to the first followed his league. There's one of two options, A i'm hallucinating or B that's how you get into the 9 and ¾ platform! I really hope it's option B. I go up to this orange haired woman (She must be the mother of those boys!) but, when I reach her this other black-haired boy with broken glasses is talking to her.
    
"First time at Hogwarts? Ron's new, too." I managed to hear the orange haired woman say. "Yes... The thing is- the thing is, I don't know how to-" replies the boy. The woman cuts him off to finish his sentence "How to get on to the platform?" "Not to worry, All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be scared you'll crash into it that's very important. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Go on, go now before Ron." She answers his question, and mine. "ER-Ok" answered the boy then he ran between the platforms 9 and 10. I was half expecting him to crash but he didn't, he went right through the wall. After who I assume was Ron, went through the barrier I said "Thank you" (I said it to the woman now realizing that I never spoke to her. As a matter of fact I don't think she knew I was there.) The woman jumped but said "You're welcome my dear."

I closed my eyes and pinched myself in the arm, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. When I opened them, I was still at the station, so naturally I began to run between the barrier. I came out to this beautiful station I bet not a lot of people have seen before. My owl began to hoot. I called her Snowy (even though she's brown). I introduced myself to Ron (might as well make new friends before I get to the school) he is very kind he told me about some gryffindor room or something, I was a bit confused but I didn't get the chance to ask him what Gryffindor was because his mom (the orange haired lady) began to speak to him. I waved bye and panicked as I walked inside the train.

Once inside there was a big crowd, the train was almost full and people still needed to get inside! I really hope that they aren't telling people to go home instead of going to Hogwarts because the train is full. With my luck I'll be sent home... well not really home, I don't have one just the orphanage.

There were still a few available compartments, there was one almost completely empty but Ron and the black haired boy were in there, and I didn't want to seem like a stalker or something so I decided, If I can't find anywhere else to sit I'll just sit there. I found another compartment almost completely full except one seat. "C-Can I sit there" I say. This brown haired girl answers me in a really confident tone, "That seat is saved for a boy named Trevor. He's lost his toad but will be right back. Sorry" she kind of does sound sorry so I believe her. "No i-it's ok" I try to imitate her tone but it backfires on me and it kind of sounds like I am going to cry.

I look down at the floor as I walk away but I bump into something, no, I bump into someone. "Hullo. Im Fred" says the boy I saw come through the barrier. "and I am George" the other brother says. " Are you excited for Hogwarts!" Fred says "Umm yeah" I say. "Oh come on darling, can you show us a smile!" exclaimed George smiling.  "Your smile is beautiful! We've got to go but, I can't wait to see you at school!" says Fred while walking away. 

They did cheer me up, I hope we become friends. After looking at all the busy compartments I finally found just one other. "Can I sit here.... All the other compartments are taken." I say, I surprise myself with my tone, I sound really... confident. "Sure" the blond boy says, his bright blue eyes looking outside at the station.  I sit in front of him, he was by himself. He is saying something under his breath.

The train begins to move and after like thirty minutes later he says "My name is Draco Malfoy." I look up a bit shocked that he spoke to me. "Think my name's funny?" He says trying to sound edgy but he sounds kind of... hurt. "Of course not. I think it's a great name actually and anyone who makes fun of your name can't have a much better one." I say kind of quickly but honestly. "Oh... sorry. I-It's just...Oh nevermind" Draco says.  "What's yours? Name." He asks. "Lylah... just Lylah." I reply. "What do you mean you don't have a last name?" Draco asks intrigued. "Yeah, I don't know. I was left at some random building when I was a baby. The woman who found me was going to adopt me, but got hit by a car. Her name was Lylah so I got the name." I say avoiding eye contact.

We sit quietly for a while before he says, "I guess that means you're a muggle-born" "I guess." I'm kind of confused as I answer. He begins explaining wizard things. He tells me what quidditch is (it's very confusing), he tells me that gryffindor is one of the four houses at hogwarts. He says he's going to be a slytherin (He said if he was sorted into Hufflepuff he'd rather just go home.) and how he wants to play quidditch at Hogwarts in his first year even though first years usually don't make the quidditch teams.
