Leaving London
"Bella, sweetheart, the taxi is here!" Vivienne yelled from downstairs in their London townhouse. "Coming, Mother," Bella yelled back as she ran down the stairs, nearly tripping over her own feet.
As they left home in the taxi, Bella took in the surroundings - London. She'd miss it. Miss her parents. Her parents, who both attended Hogwarts, had assured her they'd write all the time, and that she'd be far too busy with school and her new friends to miss home at all.
They arrived at King's Cross Station, and Bella's large trunk already stood out. They got her luggage on a trolley and started heading towards the platforms. Despite both her parents being wizards, Bella had grown up in the Muggle world, and she'd never been to the wizarding world before, nor met many wizards or witches. When her and her mother arrived at Platform 9 and 10, she saw them. Witches and wizards, dressed differently and with the same large trunks as Bella's.
Bella's mum introduced herself to some of the other parents, while Bella just shyly stood there, observing. She saw someone run towards the wall between Platform 9 and 1, and though her parents had told her about it, she almost couldn't believe her own eyes when the kids who ran towards the wall ran right through it.
Now it was Bella's turn. She and her mum ran towards the wall, and before she could register it, they were on the other side. She looked up, and there it was: a sign saying Platform 9 3/4
On the tracks, a large black and red train with a sign on it - Hogwarts Express.
After getting her luggage sorted, Bella walked through the train, looking for a place to sit. She found a coupe with 3 other kids. The train started moving, and Bella waved through the window to her mother. This was it. Bella was now officially on her way to Hogwarts.
