Chapter 3 - Welcome to Hogwarts As soon as we get all my stationery for school, We head off to Kings Cross. I successfully pile all of my luggage onto one cart, and I look around, trying to find platform nine-and-three-quarters. I can't find it, so I look at Andrea in confusion. She smiles at me and says, "What are you waiting for? It's straight ahead!" Puzzled, I look straight ahead and see platforms nine and ten, but no platform nine-and-three-quarters. "But... It's just a wall!" I say. "Well of COURSE it's just a wall, otherwise every Muggle that come here might accidentally take the train!" She replies, as if everything in the world made sense. I take a deep breath and walk through the wall. I hear the "Shweeet!" Of a train whistle, and lots of other students rushing to get on the train. As soon as Andrea follows me in, She gives me a nudge toward the train, and I give her a weak smile (That looks more like a grimace) and clamber on. I struggle to find a compartment, and I get to the fifth carriage before finding one that isn't full. Sitting inside is a girl with brown eyes and brown hair, which is changing from brown to red to ginger, then back to brown again. I bite my lip and open the door. "Um, can I sit here?" I ask nervously. She nods, and her hair turns slightly yellow at the tips. With a smile I close the door and put my luggage in the overhead compartment, and while doing so, having a peek at the girl's case. It says, in fancy swirly gold writing, 'Dawn E. Lupin.' I get myself settled as the trolley lady rolls past. "Anything from the trolley, dears?" she asks, pushing open the door. I see Dawn looking at the sugar quills, and I think for a moment before saying, "Two sugar quills please." While handing the trolley lady two sickles. With a sweet smile, she hands them to me, and rolls to the next compartment. I hand one to Dawn, and she says, "Oh! Thanks!" With a grin. I unwrap it and take a lick. It was one of the most delicious things I had ever tasted. It tasted like candyfloss, but also slightly like sherbet and caramel. I silently thank Dawn, and devour mine on the rest of the journey to Hogwarts.
Credits to for her OC! 416 words! Shorter than my last chapter, but still over the minimum.
