First steps are the worst...
This is so embarrassing
He was currently standing on the train platform saying goodbye to his parents. Or his was supposed to. His mother was latched on to him with a strong grip as she rambled on and on about things he couldn't really remember. "Remember to brush your teeth, write home once in a while, and put your things away in an organized manner." he had been nodding along drifting off not really listening and his mother noticed. "Alexander are you even listening?!" he was pulled back to reality and snapped his head towards his mother. "Of course I am!" "Ok, then what did I just say?" He quickly tried to remember what his mother had been saying "Uh brush my teeth?" "Ok, maybe you were listening." she let out a sad sigh and pulled him into another hug. "Mom your hurting me..." "Oh come on Amelia!" said his father and his grandmother. She reluctantly let go of him "I'm going to miss you kiddo!" said his father as he rubbed his head. "Dad you're messing up my hair." "Sorry!" Alex quickly fixed his hair before fist-bumping his dad and turning to his grandmother. "Now you listening to your mother and write home every now and then." "I will" he gave his mother a long hug and thought about how he was going to miss his family.
"Ok I'm off!" he started walking away from his family trying not to look back Dont look back it's going to make it harder to leave. He joined the bustling crowd of students making their way to the train to Hogwarts. "Gosh, I should have taken that map with me..." he mumbled. After stumbling around he finally made it to the entrance of the station. Finally.

First steps are the worst...
Scarlett was walking around the busy station worrying if she would do something wrong. Am I going to bump right into the wall and go unconscious? She let out a long sigh, at this rate she was never going to get to Hogwarts. Her older sister, Elaine, Came running behind her, "Don't worry, you've got this" Elaine said to her. "I've got what?" she asked "Running through the platform like everyone else?" she said impatiently "I am a wimp, this proves it. I would not be surprised if I become one of the weakest people at the school." Elaine looked at her sister, "Scarlett, I promise, if anything bad happens I will be there for you, fighting on your side." This made Scarlett feel a little better, but the fact that Scarlett was still the second born made her have a lot of pressure. Elaine was 15 years old, Scarlett felt like she had a lot to live up to, her sister was a Hufflepuff she wanted to be one as well.
Scarlett took one last look at her family, turned to the platform and closing her eyes and holding hands with her sister, ran through, she then opened her eyes and saw the Hogwarts express.
