Julia is on her way to Hogwarts right now; use the same way her mother used. Julia gripped the handle of her heavy trolley.
When she opened her eyes, the mundane station was gone. A massive scarlet steam engine puffed white smoke into the air, and a beautifully polished sign overhead read: Platform 9 ¾. Melanie and Shepherd stepped through right behind her, grinning at the sight. She had finally made it.

Julia said her goodbyes to her parents as she got on the Hogwarts Express after getting help from them.

Julia looked around for a train compartment on the Hogwarts Express. As Julia found a compartment, the train clicked and clattered down the tracks, leaving the city and (Platform 9¾) far behind.

Julia opened The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1, to a page about the Levitation Charm for some reading, as she has difficulty reading.

She was so nervous that she gripped the trolley, so her knuckles turned white. The bustling noise of King's Cross Station swirled around her. Melanie, Julia's mother, leaned down, placing a reassuring hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Just walk straight at it, sweetheart," she whispered with a warm smile. "You can run if you're nervous." Shepherd, Julia’s father, checked his watch and winked. "Jules. The Hogwarts Express leaves at eleven sharp. We're right on time. So all you need is to breathe and run; we follow after." Taking a deep breath, Julia aligned her trolley with the barrier. She closed her eyes for a split second, leaned forward, and pushed ahead. Instead of a hard crash, a sudden wave of cool air washed over her.Platform Nine and Three-Quarters (Platform 9¾) was a hidden platform at King's Cross Station in London. Magically concealed behind the barrier between Muggle Platforms Nine and Ten. King’s Cross Station in London.
