She was nearly Of Age and was certain could get on the train herself after being dropped off. So, after her mother expressed the need to hurry back to work, the French girl gave her a hug and said her goodbyes before heading in to board the train.

Pulling her wheeled trunk behind her with one hand and carrying her owl's cage in the other, Claudette tried to appear confident as she walked through the station. She knew nearly no one and casually tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder as she furtively looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ethan or Minerva.. or even one of the people she briefly met on her short excursion to Diagon Alley. Because even if she appeared to be confident, she was rather unsure of what to do next as she came up to the sign marked Platform 9 3/4. Stopping in front of the brick wall, her green eyes peered at it uncertainly. Her mother mentioned something about walking through the wall.. is this what she meant?

Biting her lip, she glanced around, seeing a girl about her age in the immediate vicinity adjusting her trunk. Perhaps she would know. Taking a few steps in her direction, Claudette put on a friendly smile and said in a moderate French accent, "Pardon.. is this the way to the platform?" She jutted her thumb in the direction of the barrier. "Do we just walk through there?"

Callidora was nearly satisfied that even when she would slam into the wall - because she was entirely doubtful it was just as easy as walking right on through, - her belongings wouldn't scatter, when a voice spoke near her.

The seventeen-year-old looked up, only to realized the voice was addressing her. "Oh, um.. yes," Callidora stole a glance at the barrier, before looking back at the other girl with a polite smile. "That's the theory. My aunt said to run, but walking sounds more safe." To be honest. Either way, it was the same idea. "I was going to wait and see someone else go at it first, but I think time is running out." The raven-haired girl admitted, a bit sheepishly.

The train would be leaving soon, surely.
