Travis and and his dad moved through the station. Travis was getting more and more anxious... what if he didn't make any friends... what if there was a mistake, and he wasn't going to be sorted... HOW was he going to be sorted... what if he missed the train... what if he made a fool of himself...

Travis Looked up at his dad who was pushing the cart with one arm, and had the other around Travis' shoulders.

Devin saw the worry on his boy's face, and smiled. "I felt the same way when I was age. It's normal... I bet your brothers felt the same as well" even if Leo and Walter had gone to a completely different school, it the same feeling. As they reached the wall, he removed his arm from Travis, and stopped. "I have to go finish some business with the ministry." he said, but gave no room for the boy to object. "Don't hesitate, just run right at it. And quit worrying, it's all going to be fine."

Travis said nothing as they reached the wall... he knew his dad would be leaving. He always did, no matter if it was his Championship Recreational Quidditch Game, or going shopping. Dad always had to run off for for something or other... A Case of underage Magic, or a killing, it didn't matter he always had to dash. But it still irritated him.

Then daddy was gone, and Travis was alone. He stared at the wall... Did he actually expect Travis to Run head first into a wall. That wasn't happening. He pouted a bit, why were his parents always busy. He filled his mouth with air and puffed out one cheek as he stared at the wall, contemplating his choices... there weren't that many to be honest.

Oliver walked for about 20 minutes asking for direction along the way. Until he found the platforms 9 and 10. Other train were leaving the station but which one would be his he was wondering. He rooted though his bag an found the letter that he had given to him from Hogwarts. 'Platform 9 3/4' he read to himself feeling confused... "what did this mean" he thought to himself. His Mother and Father never really did tell him what he was supposed to do.

He looked around and noticed a boy standing there with similar looking baggages as he had. he slowly walked over to the boy who was looking rather odd with his one puffed out cheek. He plucked up the courage and asked "Excuse me, are you going to hogwarts, If so do you know how to get to platform 9 3/4, i've never done this before so i wouldn't know what to do".

Oliver seemed pretty stupid asking this but without him asking he wouldn't have any clue as to what to do.

Minerva stayed close to Kyle and Chaos. She was terrified to be here in the public eye. She hurried through the platform.

Harvey could see that Minnie was terrified and was staying close to the adults of the group he went upto her "Dont worry its too crowded here.. he wont try anything with so many witnesses.." he said to her as they walked through the station towards the platform.. he then put a protective arm around her as well as keeping an eye out for any suspicious characters that may be after his girl..

Whilst Oliver was asking the young lad if he was going to Hogwarts. He noticed a young girl walk straight the a wall, right where he was stood. He was amazed at how she disappeared.

Oliver walked slowly towards the wall and touched it but it was just an ordinary brick wall. Then he remember her running towards it and thought that is how it is done. So without thinking about it he turned away from the wall and walked a few paced and faced it another time. He counted down under his breathe "1..2..3" and on the count of 3 he ran towards the wall and he disappeared out of view.

Ariella glanced back behind her to give her parents one last wave, but they were already gone. Trying to brush it off, she pushed her cart quickly towards the barrier. Time for another year, hopefully a one with new beginnings. She had had enough over the summer with her sisters. She looked around her, making sure no muggles were looking, and ran towards the platform at full speed. Once she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by the steaming air of Platform 9 3/4. Hogwarts. She was heading back home.

Since it's Nate's first time going there he decides to run. He looks around to see if there are any muggles, which there is no muggles around at the time. He goes on the count of 3 1......2.......3. He starts at a jog then a sprint then into a dash, and goes through. He looks in amazement when he's on the other side. Then he boards the train.

Travis was slightly taken aback when a boy asked him about the platform... 'You have to be kidding' he thought. He was simply standing here, how would anyone think of asking someone who's trying to figure it out for themselves. And all the muggles too... what if he were a muggle, what if some muggles heard. He looked around nervously. Would Daddy have to come back and wipe someones memory. He hoped so, it was always cool to watch the Obliviator teams... and daddy would be back to help Travis.

He was about to be as helpful as possible and point at the wall, but the boy had already disappeared behind another... How were people able to simply walk through a wall. Wasn't it just human nature to AVOID running into a wall.

Now Travis was again alone... He drew breath after breath and tried to build up some courage to hit the wall with all the luggage

Edward was waiting. He knew what day it was and he knew she would show up. The safest place in the world was Hogwarts he had to get her before she left. So many people were around it was going to be like finding a needle in a hay stack when wait was that. Yes a grin hit his face. The boy and where the boy was she would be close. He hurried to catch up to them.

Minerva smiled at Harvey as he put his arm around her. She didn't care anymore who knew she was just glad to have him near. She felt like she was in a movie with the boy protecting his girl. She had a horrible feeling someone was watching them though. She looked around and saw no one so she shrugged it off.

Harvey walked along the platform with Minnie in his arm.. and he was still looking around and glad that he was with her.. when he felt someone watchig him.. he looked around but saw no-one as they made their way to the entrance to platfrom nine and three-quarters.. but again he felt he was being watched he looked around and that was when he saw him... Edward!!! oh no he was not going to get her.. he then looked forward and carried on.. he didnt want Minnie to know that he had spotted Edward so they made their way to the entrance and they were there .. and ready to go through. he looked round once more .. yup he was still there. they needed to get onto the platform.. "Come on Mins... lets do this together shall we?" he said to her.. as he looked at her holding onto her.. his girl.. not Alberto's but his! She chose him over Alberto!

Ryan with his luggage and Family ran into the Wall to the Hogwarts Express.His Aunt had always promised not to get teary but that was impossible with her.

Christopher's parents had left him alone to go to platform 9 3/4, he had been there before, so he knew what to do...

Minerva felt Harvey's arm get tighter around her shoulders and she wondered if he saw something she didn't. She peeked around, but still didn't see anything. She took a deep breath when he asked to go together. "Sure lets go." as they walked onto the platform.

Jezzabelle had been dropped off by her mother, who was late for a very important meeting. As for her dad, it was business as usual and he wasn't with her either. So that left her by herself for her first time crossing onto the platform to board the train alone with no farewell hugs and good luck wishes. They were really great weren't they? She pushed her cart with her trunk and owl on top of the pile. She found the wall but she was to scared to run by herself. She looked around hoping to find someone to take the run with her.

After being hugged goodbye awkwardly by her parents, Angie turned and lugged her bags over to the platform. She turned one last time to wave, but of course, mum and dad were gone already. As usual, they didn't want to waste their time on their failure youngest daughter.

A bit nervous, Angie looked around at the other kids, wanting to make sure she wouldn't mess up her running-head-first-into-a-brick-wall. That's something you don't want to mess up on.

Seeing a boy she'd done her school shopping with and taken quite a liking to, Angie smiled and thought to herself, this Chris is like my guardian angel, always here when I need someone the most... She ran up to him and breathed a worn out "Hi."

Harvey smiled as she took a deep breath and was ready to go... so with his arm still around her they both walked through the wall and onto the platform together!!

Chris heard a voice behind him and turned to see the girl he had helped with her school shopping and said, "Oh, Hello! Fancy seeing you here. You caught me just in time, I was just about to walk onto the platform..." He hoped he didn't seem like he was rambling, he really liked Angie...

"Very fancy, then," Angie replied to him. Since she'd talked to this boy before, she was much more comfortable talking with him now. "So, shall we embark now?" She said, a slight nervous sound to her voice.

The thoughts were so jumbled in her head that she hadn't even noticed that she held her hand out for Chris to hold.

"Yes, I guess we shall!" Christopher noticed Angie holding her hand out to him, he took it in his and said, "On the count of three. One...two..."

And so, crossing over to the more magical side of the station, Angie started her journey at Hogwarts just the way she hoped to end it; hand-in-hand with the boy she loved.

Even though she had yet to find that out.

"Now, remember what I told you," Charles said as he held his daughter close in the tightest of hugs. "That boy so much as lays a finger on you I'll be at Hogwarts quicker than you can say cookie! That goes for hand holding as well."

"Father..." Kurumi said is a muffled tone. Her face WAS smashed against the tan fabric of the man's coat. "Don't you think you are being a little...unreasonable? Jonathan is my boy---"

"DO.NOT.SAY.THAT.WORD!" Charles wailed as he hugged his little cookie princess tighter. The B word...it was like the worst word in the English language that his little girl could possibly say. Saying it in Japanese only made it worse and it then became the worst K word ever.

Laughing a bit, Kurumi pushed off her father and stood on her tip toes to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "It'll be fine. I'll see you at Christmas."

Charles stood there dumbfounded as he watched his little girl walk off. Only...she wasn't so little anymore and she seemed to be slipping through his fingers all the time now. "MAYBE SOONER!" he shouted. Especially if a few things worked out.

Waving to her father once more, Kurumi was just about to walk through the barrier when she found herself walking past a slightly trembling young girl. Walking just a bit closer, Kurumi made sure that she wasn't coming up from behind the poor thing, and stood by her side. "First time getting on the platform?" she asked in a soft whisper.

Ah, another year at Hogwarts. Kimalia was riding on her luggage while her big brother pushed the cart for her. "Thanks for dropping me off, Den." Kimalia giggled before she turned to face him with a solemn look. The look that said it all. "Um, give dad and mum my best?" It was pretty stressful weekend, their dad apparating back and forth for more ingredients to help their mum, but no one else needed to know that. Looking around making sure no one spotted her yet, she gave Dennis her big strong brother a big hug for both him and her parents who couldn't make it. A perfect gesture to discreetly wipe her silent tears off his shirt.

"You got it Karma Kimalia." Dennis winked as Kimalia pushed herself out of Dennis' arms to rolled her eyes at him. Now, just because she had a bludger nearly take her head off while practicing with his teammates.. It was a perfect play too, she managed to actually score the Quaffle past a professional player and well, let's just say Karma was after her when she decided to laugh at him. "Just kidding sis, you got a strong arm, unless it's a sign I need to retire." Making Kimalia's eyes widen.

"Dennis! You can't!" Kimalia nearly shouted, "How else would we get free Quidditch tickets without you." Earning herself a rough noogie. "Ah! No, not my nice hair!" Earning a laugh from him following another hug. Honestly, sometimes her brother was like a secret clone of her father. Always finding ways to embarrass her back. After the rough treatment, Kimalia ran her hands over her hair smoothing it out earning him a glare. Yes, a glare, no one else could make the smiling Slytherin glare unless they messed with her hair.

"Don't worry about it, I'll give them your regards." Dennis smiled at her before turning on the spot *POP* and he was gone. Kimalia sighed, now she went to the back of her luggage to push it calmly through the familiar platform. Yes, it was perfectly normal for muggles who were in a mind of their own to not notice the raven-blue-black haired teenager with a loaded cart of luggage and owl disappear through the wall. Yep yep..

"Here we are," Silvia's father said as they approached the barrier. They stopped across from it and looked around to make sure no muggles were paying any attention to them. Silvia's parents had no intention of leaving her until the train pulled out of the station. Her father turned the trolley so that it was facing the wall and held out one hand to Silvia, who extracted herself from her mother's grasp and took the offered hand. "Are you ready?" Mr. Talbot asked. "I think so," said Silvia. They started a very quick walk towards the barrier, Mr. Talbot pushing the trolley with one hand, and moments later they reached the barrier and found themselves gliding through.

Vlimia gave a long group hug to her whole family, wishing that the hug would never end. Of course, it did, and she stepped a little back from her family. Mum, Dad, Scarlett and Hades. Two overbearing parents, one little sister that could be annoying and a too-cool big brother. But she loved them. Vlim wiped the fresh, warm tears off her face and accepted the trunk and owl her father handed to her solemnly. A week ago, these possesions were exciting to buy, fresh with the thrill of learning magic soon. But now they suddenly seemed a thousand times heavier, and more like the burdens that compelled her and repulsed her at the same time. "Bye Mum, bye Dad. And goodbye, Scarlett!" Vlimia choked out, picking up her four-year-old sister in a last hug. "When Hades and I are at Hogwarts you are the kid of the house, so lead the household with a firm hand!" Vlim joked, knowing that Scarlett probably didn't understand. She walked towards the magic wall Hades had told her about, waving to her parents and Scarlett as she went. When her parents had Dissaparated, Vlim put a hand to the magic wall, to make sure it wasn't solid. It felt like nothing was there, so Vlimia sprinted through the barrier and ended up on King's Cross! Magic was just SO awesome at times.

Jayden and her parents moved through the station, finally making it to the wall between platforms nine and ten.

"Alright, I'm off you guys! Make sure to write me and keep in touch! I loooooove you!" She called out, her eyes filling with tears as she turned away from her parents after hugging them both. She hated crying, especially over silly things like homesickness.

With a heavy sigh, and her cart secured safely with her supplies and her owl Snowflake, she ambled on towards the wall...

Here goes nothing.

And with that.... she was gone. She had made it through the wall.
