First Destination..
We rushed to the station, 9 3/4 was it? I never heard of it but I guess it was a thing. My father rushed me through the crowd, we were running late. What a great way to start my first school experience. Station 7, 8, then 9? Well, where was station 9 3/4? My father rushed me to a wall and we stood there for a moment before he looked at me with my luggage and said,

“Run into the wall”

I blinked at him, confused. Did he just tell me to run into a wall?

“What-“

Before I even finished, he ran to the wall and… disappeared…? I guess I had to do something so I got ready to run into the wall. My heart beating in my chest as adrenaline rushed through my veins as I took one last breath and ran into the wall…

It was dark for a moment… then… light as I opened my eyes I noticed I was somewhere else entirely new. I glanced around, where was I? Oh-! My father, there he is! I was about to say hi until he rushed me over to some train. The train was just about to leave so my father quickly hugged me and said goodbye before I had to go and get settled in.

Inside the train, I struggled to find a place to sit on the train. It was crowded until I found a free seat near the window. The rest of the ride I was thinking, staring outside the window, wondering how my life would change when I got to hogwarts. I heard many tales of the magical school, from my father’s stories to mythical legends. I was excited, yet nervous for what was to come….
