"Violet," Harry said like he was trying to convince himself not to panic. "Where did that letter to the school say the platform was?"
"They said the entrance was between platforms nine and ten," said Violet.
"Right," said Harry as if things could not go more wrong. "I think, we might earn ourselves a place in that 'Guinness World Records' book they had at primary school for the first ever people to lose an entire train platform."
Violet, while she shared her cousin's panic, did not appreciate the sass. They were not the first people raised by Muggles to be accepted into Hogwarts, there must be some method to the madness, she just had to think. They had time, there was still at least twenty minutes until the train was due to leave. They could do this.
"Maybe," Harry winced, "maybe we could ask someone?"
"And what'll we ask them exactly Harry, excuse me, do you know about any trains going off to magic school?"

Mr and Mrs Dursley were quite happy to say that they were perfectly normal in every way. That was, until Mrs Dursley's sister and brother-in-law died and left their son, Harry Potter, to be raised by them.
Nevertheless, they took the boy in and swore that they would make a normal person out of him yet, despite what his genetics may suggest.

Struggling to adhere to her parents' philosophy that woman must be seen and not heard, Violet Evans-Dursley is dreading being sent off to Finishing School for Girls. Eleven years old, and only slightly disillusioned by the way her family is turning out, Violet is all too surprised when she and her wretch of a cousin receive their first ever letters in the mail. The contents of which, just so happen to be summoning them to attend their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Sceptical, Violet must leave behind all that she knows and venture forth into the wider (and possibly magical) world and make something of herself instead of letting others do it for her.
Violet Potter's Second Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has begun.
When Harry Potter and his best friend, Ron Weasley are almost expelled for (illegally) flying an enchanted car from London to Hogwarts, the calculating and brutal Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape, personally warns Violet against further fraternization with any Gryffindors. Her own brother and his closest friends in particular. The insufferable Draco Malfoy, the always stuck-up Pansy Parkinson, and several of their cronies also take it upon themselves to give Violet (and Harry) even more grief.
The new DADA teacher, while at least not one harboring any dark wizards on the back of his head, is unfortunately as incompetent and narcissistic as a Gilderoy might come, and very likely a complete phony. And what exactly is the deal with the Malfoy family's house-elf anyway? Or the elf that the Maynard family used to own?
Violet soon has bigger problems to worry about when the legendary Chamber of Secrets is reopened, as muggle-borns all over the school are turning up petrified. And, worst of all, almost everyone seems to think that Harry and Violet have something to do with these attacks. Even in spite of the fact that Violet and Victoria among a few others have volunteered to work tirelessly with helping Professor Sprout to prepare the antidote and venturing into the other three chambers while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are racing against time to solve the mystery of the infamous Chamber of Secrets itself. But the true culprits are far more sinister than most could ever imagine...
