Closed My real home

Reducio

Hailey made her way back to platform 9 3/4 where she had gotten off at the start of the winter holidays. She had missed her siblings at home, but was glad to go back to Hogwarts. Life was hard for her in the muggle world, and Hogwarts (although it was school) was an amazing getaway from all her troubles at home. Although she hadn't found many friends yet, she was still hopeful and eager to meet new people.
As she hops on the train, she thinks about how life was when all she knew were muggles. People thought she was weird, and purposely excluded her from everything. Only one person she ever found to be a friend was a young boy by the name of Greyson. He went to muggle school with her when she was little, and they never had a dull moment. Hailey's family soon got poor after her father was fired from his job, and wasn't able to pay for her schooling. She never got to see Greyson one last time,and has been very lonely since.
She comes back from her daydreaming to hear the concession trolly coming down the isle.
"Hello, miss Hart. Would you like some pumpkin juice? Perhaps a chocolate frog?"
Hailey looks down into her purse. All she has is 2 knuts.
"Thank you, ma'am, but not today."
"All right, dear, well all you need is to ask, if you change your mind."
As the trolly squeekily rolled back down the isles, Hailey looks out the window, and looks down at her feet. 'How did I get here?' She asked herself. She wondered if maybe she was dreaming and would wake up right back in her old, creaky, wooden bed with her siblings waiting to tease her for sleeping in.
Finally Hogwarts castle came into view, and she knew this was where she belonged. She watched impatiently as it came closer and closer till the train stopped with a 'scheeech' and the doors were open. As she stepped off the train she thought to herself: 'finally, this is my real home.'
