Lewis did look at Kurumi when she started to apologize for her father again. She did seem to be feeling quite bad about how he had treated him. One of her explanations puzzled him though. Had he in some way posed a threat to the man's daughter?! "No worries. Not your fault." He muttered with a small smile for the Prefect, trying to hide the frown briefly flashing across his face.

Suddenly feeling her hand on his shoulder, he gave her a rather surprised - yet pleasantly surprised - look with his eyebrows raised. "Yeah." He drawled quietly, hoping she would believe that he actually meant what he was saying. Not that he really did. There would always be something missing here.

Oh. Was it...impolite to laugh? Not that he really had a choice. Although he tried, Lewis wasn't quite able to keep the chuckles from escaping his lips upon hearing Kurumi's story. "I'm sorry...it's just-" Uhm. "I hope you didn't get hurt." He ended up saying, biting his lip, yet still grinning from ear to ear.

Still...okay. Deep breath. He still had to go through that wall. But then again, Kurumi said it was okay so..."Are you...are you staying here?" Lewis asked after taking another step towards the wall, looking back at Kurumi over his shoulder.

Kurumi sort of swayed back and forth for a moment, tugging on her slightly wavy black locks. She probably should sort of just drop the subject, brush it under the rug as it were. The two of them seemed to be awkward enough about this situation as it was. Yep... definitely dropping the subject and moving right along.

Kurumi frowned slightly as she didn't entirely buy his yeah, but it also didn't seem like a topic that should be pressed either. Being far away from home could be a very painful experience she had heard, but it had been the complete opposite for her. She couldn't wait to get out of her hometown and away. "Must be nice...feeling so attached to your home," she said in a sort of off the cuff manner.

Kurumi laughed a little. "I was alright, minus feeling ridiculously embarrassed..." and her hair flashing a color for a brief moment. "Got to make mistakes before you can learn, right?"

Seeing that he had taken a few steps forward, Kurumi followed and giggled when he asked if she was coming. "No, I'm going back through as well," she nodded, putting her hands on the handle of his trolley. "Together then?"

Glad that they had gotten away from the topic of her father's dislike of him - for WHATEVER reason - Lewis had been hoping to dismiss their next topic of his home just as quickly. Apparently not. Kurumi seemed to have realized that his answer hadn't exactly been genuine. It wasn't like he didn't WANT Hogwarts to be his new home. Well, a little.

"It's more the...the people you leave behind, you know." Lewis replied with a soft sigh and a small smile for Kurumi. He really didn't want them to dwell on this topic any further. He was here now. He might as well try and make the best of it. However that was going to work out. But he didn't exactly have a choice anyway.

Oh good, she was laughing too. Joining in again, Lewis chuckled softly when she admitted that she had been quite embarrassed. He would probably DIE of embarrassment if that happened to him. "Right." He agreed with her before - feeling a little lightheaded from all the laughing they'd just done - he added, "You usually don't have to make THAT mistake but sure." It was definitely not one he'd want to make anyway.

YES! She was coming with. Smiling at her Lewis directed his gaze at the wall again, extremely glad to have her next to him. Okay, here goes. After another last glance at the Prefect beside him, Lewis started walking again, pushing the trolley with Vanilla on top in front of him. Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walk-

Right at the moment when he was absolutely certain they - or at least his trolley - were going to HIT the wall, they just...went through it.

Wow. Magic never failed to amaze him.

Salima made her way onto the platform still thinking about the man that saw her. 'It's ok Salima' she thought 'he probably thought he was seeing things...Just try to forget about it.'
Salima took her trunk off of the trolley, pushed the trolley aside, then dragged her trunk towards the midde part of the train. She took one last look at Platform 9 3/4 before walking onto the train.

Alyssa thought she saw a familiar face run right through the wall ahead of her. It looked like Aaron. Aaaawwwkkkkwaaard!! Thank goodness she hadn't crossed at the same time. But then she realized that she would eventually have to see him. They were in the same house!!. So with a deep breath, Alyssa pushed her trolley over and hoped that she didn't fall right into his trolley on the other side.

LuLu HATED with all her life! The wait at kings cross nobody knew how much she just wanted to get on the train and just ruushh off to Hogwarts! WHY couldn't it be that simple??? She shook her head slightly and quickly and looked around she hated the drama aswell even though she loved it too cause nothin was sweeter then watching someone's mum go all baby on them who didn't loovvee that?

Other than that LuLu was excited for her back to school event woot!

Arabella-Marie was walking towards the wall to get onboard the train she was excited to go back to school but a bit sad at the same time but hey she couldnt wait to get back to Hogwarts and saw a younger ravenclaw girl and said "You looking forward to going back to Hogwarts"

LuLu turned around! She stared at the girl asif she was an alien she never talked to the older students Much.. she smiled at her and nodded! Pffft... The reason was she fet small against them like a firstie all over again and we all know what that's like so no one NO ONE wants to go there... sad really but it was the truth.. But the girl looked nice and she hadn't done nothing yet... soooo... ''Yeah I guess... You??,''

She turned around again back to her trolley to pretend to examine or somthing... ''I'm LuLu...,'' her nickname was but no one needed to know her real name...

Ariana ran straight for the wall. she hated this part, it always gave her a headache, ' maybe this time wont' she thought to herself as her owl Salazar hooted.

Maxwell walked to the wall. He was excited, this was the first bit of magic he'd used in months and even though he wasn't really doing it himself it was magic non-the less. Helios made a noise from inside his covered birdcage. "Just another minute, okay?" Maxwell looked around, made sure no muggles were watching, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and ran for the wall.

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "Yeah i guess i am Lulu and i am Arabella"

Melanie stood staring at what was, according to her powers of observation, a brick wall. You have to run through the wall to get to the hidden platform for the Hogwarts Express, which will take you to Hogwarts, she reminded herself. She was beginning to think this was all a very elaborate hoax, and no matter how many times she repeated her step-father’s instructions in her head, it didn’t seem any less impossible. A small meow came from in front of her, and she looked down to see two large, hazel eyes staring up at her.

“It’s okay, Vagabond,” she cooed softly, stroking his striped, ginger head through the bars. “We just have to walk through a wall, no big…”

She glanced at the trunk beneath the cage and noted a glimmer of light reflected off her gold-gilded initials. She smiled to herself, remembering all of the magical objects that were hidden within, and it bolstered her confidence. If I can buy a magic wand, she thought to herself, anything’s possible.

“Brace yourself, Vagabond,” she whispered, lining her trolley up with the very solid wall in front of her. She inhaled deeply, steeling herself, and then charged toward the brick, hoping new friends and new adventures were waiting on the other side.

From the entrance, Corin managed to secure a trolley and loaded Vicker's belongings. "Alright we have to make our way towards Platform 9 3/4...." he murmured as he looked around to get his bearings.


Vickers helped his uncle load his things onto the trolley. As healthy as his Uncle looks now, he wasnt doing anything to risk straining the other man's heart. And because none of them were using magic at this point, he just realized how heavy and bulky his belongings were. Out in the Muggle public and having to function without Magic. He was starting to worry, "How far is the platform?"


Corin gazed around the station and the familiar feeling of making his way towards that hidden magical portal returned. "Not far, its just around the corner." he replied happily as he started to push the trolley towards that specific direction. And suddenly he felt like the young (and definitely healthier) student from his bygone days.


Vickers was starting up at the glass and steel rafters of the station when Corin began to move away, pushing the trolley along. He bolted after his uncle and tried to take control of the trolley "Uncle let me..." he said as he tried to take hold of the handlebars.


Corin wasnt about to let his nephew do the pushing. He was enjoying this! And he just had to quell that inward sigh. No matter how many times he would tell his family that he's never felt better in years they would always see him as the pale, sickly child whose heart would give way at any given moment. And Vickers at that moment was acting remarkably like his overzealous mother "Don't worry its not difficult." he chuckled as he rounded down a platform and started to look at the signs 6...7....8 "Here we are! Platform 9" he said as he paused a few feet away from that nondescript wall, waiting for those Wizards to make their way through

Did she mean 'nice to meet you LuLu' Or was she LuLu too? OK-AY.... nevermind She smiled back at her and decided to take the nice road ''Nice to meet cha Arabella,'' Nice name... but she wasn't mentioning that no you don't baby an older student she hadn't seen that been done.. NO

''So Arabella, What year are you going into,'' she'd never seen her before in classes... not that she'd be looking at the people attending she'd be more focused on the class it's self

Isabelle walked quickly towards the platform. Well as quick as you can walk in a pencil skirt, pushing her luggage. It was fairly heavy. She was taking all of her goodies from home. This year was going to be crazy for her. She felt even crazier than ever. Yeah, it was going to be fun.

Isabelle neared the barrier between nine and ten and gently leaned into it. Isabelle was through.

Arabella-Marie smiled at Lulu and said "I am just going into my fifth year Lulu"

Hmmm? Fifth year.. acceptable!

She smiled at the girl and nodded at her acceptioness! ''So what house are you in i've never seen you before,'' Some people considered that rude but LuLu didn't it was a simple question! Wasn't it? It wasn't no riddle or nothing! ''I'm in Ravenclaw,''

Wit beyong measure is man's greatest treasure

scratch that!

Were real smart and your not =P! she prefered that one... much better yeah! ''So where are you from,'' conversation was very hard to find with this girl

"Okay Yeonmi.. deep breath and it will be okay.. just run to the wall." Yeonmi run to the walll. "Wow.. platform 9 3/4!!"

After a tearful good-bye to her parents, Jessie followed her brother through the station and to Platform 9 3/4. She knew how to get on the platform, of course, Ben had told her before. But running at a solid brick wall didn't seem like a good idea to her. What if she didn't make it through because she wasn't really a witch? She would end up with a terrible headache! She took a deep breath. She was a witch, and she had a wand to prove it. Grabbing Ben's hand, they both took off at a run at the wall.

charlotte tried to mingle before making her way onto the platform and kissed her parents goodbye before backing away looking for a space

Aki decided to start walking towards the wall,

wait......how do I get through the wall?? she asked herself.

This is her first time so, she don't know how to do it.

After getting directions on how to get to 9 3/4, Logan walked to the wall and noticed a girl looking confused. He walked up to her and smiled. "Hey, need some help?" he asked.

Aki heard someone then, she looked,

"Yes..I was having a problem about the wall...How do you get through it??"
she asked the guy while smiling.

He kinda looks like my brother...well, he's more kinder than him..I think. she said to herself while some memories of her brother's mischiefs run through her mind....

"You walk straight through the wall." Logan said nodding. "I'm Logan, by the way." he said. "Let's go together." He said smiling and taking the girl's hand in his, and he began running to the wall.

"oh.Okay..." she replied then she added, "I'm Akira. Aki for short.." she smiled again.

then the guy told her to go through the wall with him together.

"Okay." was the only word she said when the guy held her hand and they walked through the wall..
