"Yer welcome," Gideon returned, smiling back and moving his own trolley into position and adjusting the two straps on his shoulder. "On the count of three, ye push right through and don't look back," he instructed looking at her to make sure she was ready before starting the count-off.
"One...two...three."
And with that he took off, pushing into the wall and through the barrier to the real platform they were looking for. Gideon hoping the Ravenclaw was following along.
Breath.
Breath.
Amelia needed to remember to breath - she looked up at Gideon as he told her how to get through the barrier and they would go on the count of three. Her hands tightened around the handle of her trolly.
One.
She took a deep breath.
Two.
She closed her eyes.
Three.
She ran for it. Gasping and taking a deep breath and holding it before she pushed through the wall - soon, she could open her eyes and see the train that would bring her to her home away from home.
