Though the Wall? Open

I stand next to my mother, looking for anyone I could possibly know. "Mother, what would happen if I was sorted into a bad house?" I asked her. "You will most likely learn the same. You're my girl, and I know you have a bright future." My mother replied. "Okay then..." I replied, seemingly unsure in which I glanced around. "We still have around an hour before the train actually departs, do you have everything?" My mom asked. "I have my textbooks, my robes, my wand, and my potions ingredients, and my Remeberall." I told her. "That's good, you didn't forget anything." She said as my trolley rolled towards the opposite wall, in which I quickly caught it. "That could've been bad." I murmured, in which my mom nodded. "Do you have the book I gave you?" My mom asked me as I nodded. "It's in my trunk." I replied. "Okay, just making sure." She told me as I saw a girl farther away. "Are you ready for this?" Mom asked me. "Yes, I'm ready. I hope." I replied. "Make sure to write every day, okay?" She told me as I nodded. "I will, I promise." I reassured her. "Okay, and I will write back. Your father told me he's going to miss you, and so will Lila and your other friends. The other three believe you're going on vacation for some reason, and I have no general idea why." Mom said, making me laugh slightly. "That's the group for you." I said, chuckling still.

"Hi...do you know how to get to platform 9 and 3/4?" Leona anxiously asks a girl that had a woman standing next to her. The girl looked around her age and she really hoped this girl would know. I really hope this girl knows. Leona looks at the girl's beautiful hair. This girl is so pretty. I hope she's going to Hogwarts. She looks around and then looks at the woman. They're both really pretty...I should've remembered what that person said...through a...wall? Leona looks around but doesn't see anything that would tell her where to go.

I don't think that there would be a sign on the wall that said 'To Hogwarts' that wouldn't be smart at all. Leona looks around and sees a bunch of people walking around but none of them were doing anything magical. Maybe this whole thing was a joke...I don't think that you could go through a wall to get to a train. Leona turns back to the girl and then takes a deep breath. "Do you know if Hogwarts even exists?" Leona asks the woman hoping she knew. Leona looks around trying to see if the woman had a weird look. Leona turns around to see if anyone else was doing anything odd but she couldn't see anything different.

A girl then walks up to me and my mom. "Hi...do you know how to get to platform 9 and 3/4?" The girl asked. "Oh, yes. We're just waiting for the clock so she can head through to the platform. You can wait with us if you'd like." My mom replied. "I'm Holly, and this is my mom." I told her. "You can call me Maia." My mom said right as the clock hit 10:50. "You girls should head through so you can get a good compartment on the train." Mom said. "Just go right into the wall we're next to. Get a running start if you're nervous. Holly, do you want to go first?" Mom asked. "Sure." I replied, lining up my trolley with the wall and backing up, running through the wall and coming back out on the other side of the wall on a new platform with a sign that said 'Platform 9 3/4'. I glanced around, waiting for the girl to come through the wall. What happens if she can't get through? I think to myself, thoughts racing. I then glanced over at my trunk, knowing that everything is still there but not able to stop wondering.

I am unable to understand why they can not come today. I get they are busy, but don;t they have even time to lead their Son to Hogwarts Express. It is always us taking care of each other.
I know what you mean but you have to understand that they are very busy especially since that incident a few months ago. Anyways, I am here with you.. I nod appreciatively. It was true. My sister has always been there for me. Even when our parents were not there, she was there by my side.

I was truly excited to start my journey at Hogwarts. At the back of my mind, I hoped that at that school, perhaps there would be clues as to why I am this way. This different from the rest of the house White. Why is it that those eyes haunt me. What or I should say who is behind those eyes.
Those blood red eyes, that spook me in my dreams almost every night. So many mysteries. So many secrets. It is truly fascinating that even after so many years, there are so many things we still are unaware of.

But anyways, as we were walking, I saw my sister's friends waving and beckoning her to join. She probably wanted to join them but did not because of me. I nodded and smiled at her and told her to leave. She gave an recognitive glance and left for her friends. Knowing her, she must be feeling guilty for leaving me like that

Now time to finally find the platform.. As expected, the platform was between 9 and 10, on the third wall to be exact. Despite being born and brought up in magical Britain, the fear of colliding with a wall is something which is genetic and thus can not be easily replaced. I steeled my breath and rushed inside. When I got to the other side, I almost collided with a girl

I looked up to see a beautiful Brown haired girl with steel blue eyes. I am sorry If I somehow messed up the hair color
AHH. Phew. Merlin ! I sincerely apologize Miss......?

Italic is Holly's thoughts, just for the record.


"Oh, it's fine. I'm Holly, Holly Elren." I say, my eyes showing slight curiosity. Meeting new people gets me curious about the new person, sue me. "I presume you're new here too?" I ask right as my mother comes through the barrier. "Ok, good you didn't pop out of existence." She joked. "I'm Holly's mom, Maia." My mother said. Normally whenever this happens, I am not very talkative, but whenever I am at a very... unique train station and waiting on another person while another person comes through and apologizes asking for a form of name, somehow it turns on. Then again, my talking turns on and off. It normally just depends on the day. Sorry, I was tired making this and my brain was not working, so it will not be like my other messages. "Anyways, what's your name?" I ask, thoughts still going in a form of a circle. Well, at least I can't mess interactions up... hopefully.

"Just a time warning, the train leaves in around 15-20 minutes, so I recommend getting a compartment. I remember the first train ride to Hogwarts. It was extremely chaotic and hard to get a compartment since me and my friends waited till the last moment to get a compartment. We ended up with two fifth years, and it was kind of awkward." My mom said. "I remember you very vividly telling me about that." I said.

Oh, it's fine. I'm Holly, Holly Elren. I presume you're new here too?"
Ok, good you didn't pop out of existence. I'm Holly's mom, Maia.
I turned my head around to see a women in her early thirtees, They are an exact copy of each other. Anyways, what's your name?. As I was about to answer her question- Just a time warning, the train leaves in around 15-20 minutes, so I recommend getting a compartment. I remember the first train ride to Hogwarts. It was extremely chaotic and hard to get a compartment since me and my friends waited till the last moment to get a compartment. We ended up with two fifth years, and it was kind of awkward
I remember you very vividly telling me about that. I chuckle at that. It was good seeing someone interact like that with their family.

I am sorry for not introducing myself. I am Dark, Dark Phoenix White. I said as I gave a courteous bow to both of them. I winced at how it came out. It was the side effect of attending all those parties and balls. They expect you to keep a proper grace and etiquette whenever you are meeting someone new. The same attitude slipped here unconsciously Oh Merlin! Dark what were you thinking using your full name like that. Now they will see you as an uptight Pureblood. UHH!! This is the worst..
Is it also your 1^st year?

I am sorry for not introducing myself. I am Dark, Dark Phoenix White. He said. Is it also your 1st year? He asked. "Yes, it is. Also, don't worry about introductions, me and my mother tend to ramble and it may or my not stop giving people opportunities to talk. Being a first year means it's also slightly overwhelming with all the 'running through walls' stuff. Just hoping the train doesn't fly. Terrible fear of heights and all." I say. "Sorry, I'm rambling." I mutter, slightly embarrassed. I also have that tendency, but it could appear as annoying for some people... "Also, pleasure to meet you." I say, my eyes glimmering slightly in the light. "We should probably get in a compartment on the train." I said, my trolley almost rolling away again as I quickly stopped it before it got far. "That has got to stop happening..." I murmur. Honestly, he seems like a nice person. I don't think he's like most purebloods, mainly because something in my mind is telling me that. I guess we'll just have to see what happens. Still don't have a bad feeling about anyone yet. I thought.

Yes, it is. Also, don't worry about introductions, me and my mother tend to ramble and it may or my not stop giving people opportunities to talk. Being a first year means it's also slightly overwhelming with all the 'running through walls' stuff. Just hoping the train doesn't fly. Terrible fear of heights and all. Sorry, I'm rambling Also, pleasure to meet you.
It is all right. Pleasure's all mine.

We should probably get in a compartment on the train.. Her trolley almost went down the station on its way. She murmured something but I could not hear it very well. Yes I also believe its a good idea Turning to her mother, I said No offence to you mam, but I doubt any of us would be interested in sitting with Fifth years. And also-. As I was speaking, we got pushed from behind, I stumbled a bit and regained my footing. I caught Holly's hand. If I hadn't caught her hand in time, I probably would have made ever her stumble. I turned around and saw an older boy, most probably a second or third year- second year if we go by his height He does not even seem a bit apologetic. Sorry Mate. It happens It HAPPENS!! How does it just happens He is not apologetic at all. As I about to say something, Holly spoke up...

As he catches my hand I look at the seemingly second or third year boy. "It's fine, just try to be more careful next time." I say calmly. "Alright, bye." The boy said before heading towards the train. No manners, I swear... Right then, the train whistle blew as the boy boarded the train. "Well, we should probably start making our way through the crowd to get on the train." I suggested since the crowd was progressively growing as time passed. How exactly does the school look like? My thoughts began to wander before darting back to the second train whistle. "I think that was the last call for 'everyone get on before we leave you behind'." I say, my trolley rolling slightly as I grabbed it. "Not a single moment before it tries to roll away still..." I murmur. I'm going to go, you're father is currently at the bakery and most of the staff is sick. I'll write to you, ok? My mom said. "Alright, tell me what goes on at the bakery." I said as she headed out of the station. "Well, time to make it through the crowd of people..." I murmur.
