Pixxi knew that they were running late, but this was just riddiculus. Her father Karl, her elder brothers Felix who would be attending his last year at Hogwarts and Percy who would be attending his fourth year at Hogwarts and her little sister Kayla had used Floo powder to get to a friend of their dad's house only 10 minutes away King's Cross Station by foot. That was if no one was carrying large trunks and was in a bad mood to begin with. As they walked amongst muggles, Pixxi's dad couldn't exactly use a hovering charm to lift the suitcases. Kayla was complaining loudly that she really hated stressing. 'You're not the only one,' Pixxi thought, but she had somehow managed to lose her speaking voice.

Once they arrived at the entrance of King's Cross Station, all of them were out of breath. Pixxi looked at the big clock above them. 10.49. They had 11 minutes to get trolleys, get through Platform 9 3/4 and get on the train with all the luggage. Her dad must've been thinking about the exact same thing, as he disappeared for just a second and came back with three trolleys. He started loading Pixxi's trunk on one of them, while Felix and Percy did the same with theirs. Kayla jumped on top of her trunk and scootched over so Pixxi could sit aswell. She jumped on right next to her sister and held the traveling cage with her meowing ginger cat Bellsnickles (Bells for shorts) on her lap. Felix was already jogging towards Platform 9 3/4, and Karl trotted after, closely followed by Percy. As she sat on the trunk, holding Bells for dear life while watching people around her stressing equally as much as they did, she thought that 'this is the last time I see the muggle world before I'm a Hogwarts student.' Excitement mixed with nervousness fluttered in her stomack while closing in on the familiar signs that read '9' and '10' on each side of the square wall that would take them to Platform 9 3/4.
