Walking Through The Wall?! (OPEN)
Amari was walking fast. She was struggling to pull her suitcase while quickly following behind her father, heading to Platform 93/4. She'd been studying like crazy for weeks before this, so she thought she was super ready. She whined, "Daad, this bag is heavy!" to which her father replied, "We're almost there, how about some croissants?" They headed to a Muggle food stand and bought 2 croissants before walking through the wall to get to the Platform. The wall! Of all things! She flew through on the other side and stared at the humongous red and black train! "The Hogwarts Express..." she thought. Her dad came through the wall and then practically suffocated her in a giant bear hug. "I'm going to miss you sooo much! Remember to send letters, and do your homework, and you can text May and me on your phone, and you have your planner and-" "Dad! I got it! I'll be fine!" "Okay..." "Bye, Dad! Love you!" She started walking onto the train, waving to her dad through the windows. She found an empty room and put down all her stuff. She took out a book and started reading and eating her croissant, not noticing that someone had come in. She heard a "thunk" and looked up and saw someone. "Oh! um. Hello."
Should I? Perhaps. Will I? Noooo. Do i enjoy being difficult? Moost Definitelyy|𝓐𝓶𝓪𝓻𝓲 𝓙𝓸𝓷𝓮𝓼
Walking Through The Wall?! (OPEN)
Sara was nervous. It wasn't her first time at Platform 9 3/4 - her brother had gone before her, but she still felt more nervous than ever. She glanced at her brother, who was starting his third year. He looked confident, a smile on his face as he walked over to his friends and boarded the train. Sara would be boarding alone. With a wave at her parents and younger sister, she stepped into the train.
She walked slowly through the corridor, scanning for any open seats while the heavy scent of coal smoke and polished wood filled the air. Finally, she found one - an almost empty compartment with only a girl eating a croissant while reading a book. It made sense to her - she read while eating too. She slid open the door, and with a thunk, she sat down. The girl looked up nervously and said with a hesitant smile, "Oh! um. Hello."
"Hello!" Sara responded, a smile on her face. She set down her bags, shifting them around. "I'm Sara. First year too?" She asked, her eyes darting to the window. Outside, the platform was becoming a blur of steam and waving hands as the Great Northern engine let out a sharp whistle.
She pulled out her own book, a well-worn copy of Hogwarts: A History. She had already read the first three chapters, hoping the knowledge would make her feel less like an outsider. She felt a brief pang of envy thinking of her brother’s easy confidence, but as the train jolted into motion, the rhythmic clack-clack of the tracks began to soothe her racing heart. With a glance at the girl across from her, she asked, "What book are you reading?"
