Kings Cross Public Square
 

Just arriving to the Station? Enter here and head to the Platform. Be mindful of the muggles and don't linger too long! Don't want to miss the train.

And here he was again. King's Cross Station. It was Zeke's last year in Hogwarts, yet he can't even bring himself to be nostalgic about anything especially since he can't remember his past. To him, this was only his 2nd year at the Wizarding School. His 2nd and final year.

But again, for the second time around, Ezekiel Andrei de Ferreis was alone. And yes, Zeke told me to use his full name to add some dramatic effect. Anyway, he pushed his luggage like a normal Muggle would, trying his best to blend in.

King Cross again. Jory stood watching the usual bustle. He even recognised a few familiar faces from Hogwarts. But none of his actual friends. He looked towards the Wall where he was supposed to be crossing to get over to the platform where he would be taking the Hogwarts Express for the final time.

"I'd better get going,'' the boy thought, looking around again. He pushed his trolley towards the Wall.

Isobel had said goodbye to her mother before she got to the station, since she needed to take Kate to some kind of 'gymnastics for toddlers' thing that she did every week. This left Isobel alone at the station, surrounded by muggles. Lovely.

She wheeled her trolley around with a grunt, beginning to regret all of the extra books she'd bought. Facing the wall between two platforms from a couple of feet away, she stared at it apprehensively. Her mum had taken her through it several times, you walk up to the barrier and you just go straight through it. Even run, if you don't think you can make it. Don't worry, honey, you'll be fine.

Isobel glanced at the barrier one more time, then, with a deep breath, approached it at a swift walk.

that turned out to be longer than I anticipated o.o
 

Once again, Tobias had run on ahead from his grandfather, who was probably still somewhere around St. Pancras train station (which was across the road) where their connecting train had taken them. His grandfather would be apparating home after seeing Tobias on the trains; his grandmother wasn't fond of busy places full of children (she liked Tobias and that was it) and his parents had stayed behind to keep her company. Tobias' grandfather was the best person to keep Tobias in line anyway, though the young man himself would disagree; nobody kept him in line, because he was a perfect little angel who didn't need watching over.

But... he kind of did need his grandfather. This station was confusing and there were loads of muggles here. Tobias stepped up onto the back of the trolley to try and find his destination, but he didn't actually know what he was looking for.

Ah. Well. This way problematic.

Time to just hang out and wait for his grandfather and try not to give off a vibe that he was on his way to wizard school.

'Cause, you know, that was what he was avoiding. And it was obviously the first conclusion that muggles jumped to.

...

After a couple of minutes, Tobias had spied a few students who were pushing trolleys with trunks similar to his, and he had a good idea where he was going, because he'd seen them all disappear in the same general area.

Feeling all grown up, Tobias pushed his trolley confidently towards one of the barriers (he knew that was what he was meant to be doing after quizzing his grandfather relentlessly... it was just the 'where' that had him stumped) and started running.

He was nearly there when he heard a strangled shout from behind him, and he turned to see his grandfather waving his arms wildly and pointing at the next barrier.

Ohhhhhh.

Luckily, Tobias, being a rather hyperactive and fidgety child, was rather agile, so after a brief tussle with his luggage trolley and it's stubbornly wonky wheel, he had re-routed and was now speeding towards the correct barrier.

Taking it at a slightly awkward angle, Tobias finally reached the ticket barrier... and then he was through.

Aaaaanyone? ^_^
 

Kings Cross morning already. Gulp. Last year, huh? Yeah, it came sooner than most thought.

The red headed, seventeen year old, held the hand of her three year old brother as they walked inside the station. It was the first time he was here and Renesmee could see her brother was intrigued with his surroundings as he wandered around with her. He remained quiet and barely spoke a word. That concerned Nessie just a little bit, but she knew he was just upset she'd be leaving him for another year. She had to though, school was school. He'd get it eventually.

Now where was that platform wall? She looked quickly through all the muggles and spotted a few wizard-like looking people, especially a few firsties. Was she meant to go up to them or something? She wasn't sure with this whole Head Gi--Prefect thing. It just was that being Captain was different to this, in her opinion it was a little more home to her. Now she had a bigger role which meant bigger footsteps and harder work.

The Hufflepuff eyed the few firsties, then eyed the platform wall that her eyes now found and pouted. Maybe it was better she only put on the badge once she was behind the wall and at the platform? She nodded to herself. Yep. And right now she wanted to have a last few completely alone moments with Ethan before the rest of the family had caught up to them.

"Ethie?" She paused and bent down for a short moment, still holding the three year old's hands. "You're going to be fine. Pam, Mommy and Daddy will look after you, alright?" She frowned as he shook his head and clung to her beige coloured pants.

Well this was going to be easy then? Heh.

The Charlton family arrived at the King's Cross Station a little early, since Mr. Charlton and Jack wanted to see MORE magic they were Muggles and they had to find their way by asking. Whereas his father got more chatty than ever, Forrest grew very quiet in the last week. The mere idea of leaving his family troubled him even in his dreams (although he knew better than to reveal it to anyone). Magic was all good and exciting, but was it worth leaving his mother's side? She looked the happiest of them all, and she constantly told him she was fine, but Forrest knew better than that. She was as sad as him for seperating from his favourite son (he KNEW he was her favourite). It still wasn't too late to back out of this life chance...

The family started to walk towards where the ninth platform was in complete silence. They didn't get a trolley, because Forrest's luggage was one of those pullable ones with wheels. His father pulled it, head turning in every direction to catch a glimpse of a wizard or witch. He was by far the proudest father on the platform today as his face shone whenever he looked at Forrest. My son's a wizard, you loser Muggles!

Once they arrived at the ninth platform, all the family looked at Forrest as if he was an alien. They expected him to see what they couldn't, of course, like the way he did at Leaky Cauldron. Standing between the ninth and tenth platforms, they waited impatiently for him to speak some fancy magic words--but it was Christina, the mother instead who spoke.

"Are they... disappearing through the wall?" Three pair of eyes turned into the direction she indicated. They had to wait for another two minutes for it to happen, but it was worth it at last as they apparently discovered the entrance to the 3/4 part of ninth platform.

Nobody noticed Forrest's getting even paler as they all went towards that direction and simply went to the other side by walking unlike most of the other students that ran.

Anyoooone. ^_^
 

There was a look to the left followed by a look to the right before another one to the left. Normally she'd be zipping through the train station, leaving her poor father having a hard time keeping up but not today. Today Alexa was hiding. This hiding wasn't from fear though. Nooooo. The lioness feared nothing almost. It was just...she didn't handle disappointed faces very well, OKAY???

Well, correction; she didn't handle them well when they belonged to people she cared about...Alice, she definitely cared about. The girl would probably never talk to her again--

UGH!!

It wasn't even her fault and technically she had done the poor thing a favour--she put him out of his sugar coated misery! If anything, she should have been praised and given another one for her valiant efforts. He was the hardest chocolate frog she'd ever eaten too. Like. There wasn't supposed to be any kind of bad feeling--he was a bloody piece of candy!!! But at the same time, the thought of Alice's disappointed face had the thing stuck at her throat.

Occasionally she glanced up at her father and caught him staring down at her in wonder. He too was wondering why she wasn't running wild. She was glad he didn't ask. It would have only made things worse. As they made their way through the building she clung to his hand, still looking over her shoulders ever now and then. If she could just make it to the train she could hide for the entire ride--

Oh!

Merlin! She forgot about the feast! She'd have to see her. SIIIIIIIGH. Now she was in an even worse mood as they made their way to the barrier.

So, here she was back at King's Cross. After spending the whole month of August basically not visiting any of her favorite places in Muggle London thanks to her aunt who thought it be a good idea for her to stay where wizards could keep an eye on her. Pregnancy was giving that woman nuttier and nuttier ideas. But of course, she didn't want to be THAT person. You know, the one that made the preggo lady's mood even worse. So, she'd begrudgingly stayed mostly in Diagon Alley the entire time she'd been in town. Which meant that Sky felt a mixture of sadness and happiness at the thought of going back to Hogwarts.

Anyway, after saying bye to her aunt, she started making her way to the wall to the platform, pulling her extra large trunk behind her, when she ran into a little girl who seemed lost. And cue eye roll. Surely someone had told her how to get to the platform, right? Which meant that the silly girl had either forgotten or not believed. Sigh. Wasn't setting these kids straight the job of the prefects? Yet, not a one was in view. "The wall is up that way," she spoke up drily, nodding it's direction. "You walk right through it." There. Fixed that little problem.

open to all...seriously if you just want to gawk at the kiddo do iiit
 

Finn Johanson was glad to take his little sister to the train station since he hadn't seen her all that much recently. What with her constant disappearing acts to go buy new supplies, see her friends who lived near by, and that camping trip. He had heard about that - how she had nearly gotten people sick until they smelled whatever it was she was making. She had never told him.

Finn glanced around carefully scoping out all the crowd. He was looking for his sister as well - since she had been out in London and had no idea he was flooing in just to wish her well.

He just scoffed as he watched some poor kid about a year older than his sister have a fit. He was probably freaking out about how to get to the school - or he was some lunatic muggle. He just kept an eye on the kid in case something happened...like a melt down, or you know running full speed into the wrong wall.

Genevieve reaally wanted Eeka to come. Eeka needed to hug her. HUGs were good. She was sitting in her little stroller, watching with her BIG brown eyes and grabbing at people when they walked by. The blondes mainly. It didn't matter if they were male or female she just reached out to them as if to question if they were her sister.

"EEEEEKA" she chirped rather grouchily and just stared out into the crowd. What were these people. And why did they have rolling-things attached to them.

Anyone <3 And I mean, anyone :3
 

*steals*
 

Anyone or no one, yo.
 

For once in her lifetime as a Hogwarts student, Katrina Hudson was actually feeling a bit weird. She was new to this, being a student leader. Receiving an owl with her badge was something she did not except at all. Her family members were proud of her and she was a hundred percent sure that her father would've been much more proud of her than anyone in the family. Kat missed him a lot, of course, but she kept it in her mind to let go and move on with what life has to offer her. She was pretty excited about knowing she would be a Prefect for her house The Slytherin Prefect (in denial) dragged and pushed her trunk to Kings Cross and looked around.

Gosh it was weird having to wear a Prefect badge.

Kat bid her goodbye to her sister and her nephew, Gale, before setting out to go pass the Platform. By the look on the children's faces in here, Kat knew there were firsties. She watched as one of them went passed the barrier. Who knows, maybe one of them would soon be her minion ickle Slytherin follower. Dismissing the thought, Kat made her way to the wall connecting the Muggle world to the Wizarding world. She wouldn't be seeing this place until June next year.

*claims K2* ^_^
 

For once, Kendall wasn’t entirely looking forward to a new year at Hogwarts. More accurately, it was just the train ride, seeing as she had a feeling that somehow Patrick was going to continue avoiding her even when there weren’t as many places to hide. That and she was still highly frustrated that she wasn’t able to use both wrists at the moment, as that was making it awfully difficult to pull her trunk behind her. She was determined to do it on her own, though, even though Jeremiah had offered to help her until she got on the train. She hadn’t needed her brother’s help before now, and the sixteen-year-old was stubborn enough that she wasn’t about to ask for it now. She might have been hoping that her wayward boyfriend would show up anyway and offer to help, but for now she was going to do it on her own. At least she would be able to get the cast off within a couple days, according to her last healer’s appointment. That was the one bright spot in an otherwise rather not-fun end of her summer, along with the fact she’d finally managed to get her hair to cooperate and had her pink streaks back. Those hadn’t been there for a while.

She still had to figure out how to get herself, her trunk, and Accio through the barrier and onto the platform, anyway. Her cat could dash through on his own, of course, but dragging her trunk with one hand would be the tricky part. Controlling it. As such, she’d decided to pause for a second to think of a plan, and noticed a familiar blonde head nearing the wall. “Hey Katrina!,” she called out, smiling at the Slytherin even as she forgot her annoyance for the time being. Dropping the handle of her trunk had certainly helped with that, but there was still time before she had to get on the train.

Katrina did not know how long she spent just staring at the wall, inches away from it while holding on tight to the handle of her trunk. She did not know if she even wanted to go pass the barrier and face her sixth year of magical education at Hogwarts. It must've been a mistake that Professor Lafay chose her as the female prefect after Sierra. She did not see anything of Prefect material in herself, nothing like what Sierra had who was a true leader and worthy of the badge. If this was some kind of prank sent to her by people who had nothing more to do than waste their lives on these types of shenanigans, one thing was for sure and that Kat would haunt them down until she graduated from school. She'll find out if this was a joke if she sees another person in the Prefects' Compartment with same badge she was wearing now The blonde wouldn't believe it at first but later on it began to sink in that in fact she was the new Slytherin female prefect. She'll grow to like having a badge soon, but for now she can continue to hang onto this thing called denial. Since nobody else could know her thoughts at the moment, then it was probably normal that someone would think she was being an idiot and just looking blankly at a wall.

Only one thing, or person even, snapped the Slytherin prefect out of her thoughts. Turning to her side, Kat gave her friend Kendall a smile in return. "Hi there, Kendall!" she greeted. The Ravenclaw was one of the few friends Kat met just last term, specifically at the Maize Maze. The blonde's eyes then fell onto her friend's hand that was apparently wrapped around with a cast. "Is it better now, your hand?" Kat asked. Everyone knew Kat could be really caring when it came to the condition of her friends so it was not anything to be shocked about if she came up to you and randomly asked about what you're feeling at the moment. "Uhm... do you need help with your things?" It was a rare offer whenever Kat would extend a hand to help someone. Kendall must be lucky today, eh? Besides, you really can't do much with a cast on your hand.

His final Hogwarts year was almost starting and the Slytherin wanted to make the most of it. Most importantly, we wanted to see and hear every detail from Kings Cross station till ...Kings Cross station until he came back. That was why he was pushing his luggage cart absentmindely and looked around him. Taking in the brick wall that was right in front of him, Daichi fought the urge to count the bricks. That would be too time consuming.

This was going to be the last time he went through this wall from this side. And now that he thought this it made him feel a little sad. For seven years he had walked through here and after this year it would be over. No more brick wall, no more Hogwarts Train. No more Hogsmeade..oh wait , he could still visit that.. No more Hogwarts castle..classes..his younger friends , just strolling around over the grounds. And most importantly. He now had to find his own Duck Pond to go to...

But, that wasn't till the end of this year and he was going to make this year count! With a small nod to himself he looked around him. Seeing that a few muggles passed him by and given him a weird look for just staring at a WALL, Daichi simply smiled at them and they continued their walk to their own Muggle Trains. One last check, no muggles looking, and he walked through the barrier.

Aurora couldn't believe that she was going to her fourth year at Hogwarts, nor could her parents as her mother had admitted to her.

Aurora and her family walked through King's Cross train station headed to the magical platform of Platform 9 and 3/4 to see her off for the school year.

Anybody?
 

Fifth year. Where had the time gone?

Five years ago his whole family was here seeing him off. The friends he had made the summer before Alec, Anya and Adeline was there. Well he meet Adeline right here at Kings Cross. And even Carter Anya's brother was there. But now today the fifth year Slytherin was walking into the train station alone. The family was working. His friends were not doubt with their sweethearts. Adeline wasn't coming back.

Asher past by several muggles as he pushed his cart loaded down with his trunk, and owl cage. Avis hooting softly in her sleep. She did that alot hoot in her sleep.

So there he was a fifteen year old alone with an owl in Kings Cross. That wouldn't be so weird if he didn't see a few others with a cart loaded down like his.

Heading in the general direction as they were moving toward the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Platform 9 3/4 was his portal back to Hogwarts, back to school. Back everything he knew.

Anyone
 

Laura had been really busy this summer and now she was heading off for her fifth year at Hogwarts, at the start of the summer things had happened and she had thought about not coming back but in the end she had decided that she should even though she was really sure what to expect from this year, she couldn't wait to see Sophie and Ella though, she hadn't seen them or Carigan for ages and that was the one thing she was looking forwards too.
