"Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Nora, Harry, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore will be wanting his-, well he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes." He handed them both a paper. "Here's your ticket. Stick to it, that's very important. Stick to your ticket." He walked away but the kids didn't realize.

"Is he seriously leaving them there all alone?" Jeremy asked. This giant was not very smart. Leaving two kids all on their own alone. "I mean who leaves two eleven-year-old alone in Londen?"

"Yeah, I agree with that." Finn said.

"Platform 9 3/4?" Nora mumbled to herself. "But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says platform 9 3/4. There's no such thing, is there?" She looked up and noticed that the Hagrid was gone.

"Where did he go?" Harry asked.

"Don't know, Harold."

So Harry decided it would be best to look for themselves. "Come we'll ask him." He said to his sister while pointing at someone.

"Harry, no. They'll will think we're nuts."

"Excuse me, Sir. Can you tell me where I might find platform 9 3/4?" He asked politly but the man looked at him annoyed.

"9 3/4? Think you're being funny, do ya?" He shot them one last dirty look before walking away.

"It's the same every year, packed with Muggles, Of course. Come on!" They heard a woman say.

"Muggles?" Harry asked Nora who quickly nodded before going over to the woman and Nora assumed the woman's family, seeing they all had red hair.

"Platform 9 3/4, this way." The family stopped by the wall where a sign with the number 10 hang. "All right, Percy, you first."

One of the boys went forwards and ran towards the wall and passed through it. Nora's mouth fell open. "Did that- did he just- what?"

The same reaction came from everybody else in the room, except for Lily.

"Did he just walk through a wall?" Stefan asked.

Kol rolled his eyes. "He obviously ran."

"That's how they keep hidden, don't they?" Elena asked Lily, but Rebekah answered.

"What did you expect? That they would just buy a house and meet there to go to Hogwarts? They're supposed to keep their magic a secret."

She however didn't want to offend Lily in any way, with saying how dumb the idea was of running into a wall at a freaking train station.

"Fred, you next."

"He's not Fred, I am." One of the two children who looked identical said. Twins, Nora thought.

"Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother?" The other one asked.

The woman groaned. "Oh, I'm sorry George."

Before he ran though the wall, he spoke. "I'm only joking, I am Fred." And with that you he was gone, his twin too, not long after.

"I like these two." Kol said. They looked like fellow prankers.

"Come on, Harry!" Nora said quickly before running towards the three remaining red heads. "Excuse me." The woman came to her and laid a hand on her back. "Could you tell us how to-?"

"How to get onto the platform? Not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well." Nora smiled at the redhead boy who was standing next to her.

"Now all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platform 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous." She pushed her cart forwards, hearing the younger redheaded girl say 'good luck'. Nora looked back at Harry one last time, who nodded encouraging at her, she turned back to the wall.

As she ran through it, she excepted to fall back, from the speed she had used to run though the wall, but it didn't come, so she opened her eyes to see a big but beautiful red train.

"Wow." Elena said.

"That's awesome." Jeremy said.

A little while later the two Potters had found a compart with no one inside. It was rather on the end of the train but they didn't mind.

And then the boy named Ron came, knocking as to let them know he was standing there, as both of them were looking out of the train.

"Excuse me." Nora heard, making her turn from the window to the door of their train carriage, to see the boy from the platform. "Do you mind? Everywhere else is full."

"Not at all." Nora and Harry replied at the same time and he sat down next to Harry.

"I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley." He introduced himself.

"I'm Harry. Harry Potter."

"I'm Nora Potter." Nora said after Harry.

"So it's true!" Ron said seeing the scar on Nora's head, right above her glasses.

At least Harry could hide it over the years under his hair, she didn't. She had tried everything but nothing sees suited her and she did not walk over the streets looking like somebody had just attacked her.

"I think she looks beautiful." Rebekah said. It was not their fault they had the scar, why did so many people have to give them such a hard time over it?

"I agree." Elijah smiled back at his younger sister.

He turned to Harry. "Do you really have the-the-?"

"The what?"

"The scar." Ron said it, as if it was obvious so Harry pushed his hair back, making the scar visible.

"Wicked." Ron said, looking from Harry to Nora and back to Harry. At the same moment a woman walked by with a chart.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?"

Ron smile faded. "No, thanks." He showed his sandwish to the women with a embarrased look. "I'm all set."

Nora looked at Harry before both speaked together. "We'll take the lot." They grabbed their money from their pockets and as Harry wanted to pay, Nora quickly pushed his hand away.

"It's okay, I'll pay."

"We can share." Harry suggested but Nora was already taking the sweets from the woman handing her money over.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?"

"They mean every flavor." Ron said before taking a bit of the candy in his hand. "There's chocolate and peppermint and there's also spinach, liver and tripe."

"That's disgusted." Nora whisperd and Harry nodded in agreement.

"Liver?" Rebekah asked, disgustingly. The others were looking at the screen with the same disgust thinking about eating candy tasting like liver.

No thank you.

"Why would they even make them tastes like liver?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah." Caroline added.

"George sweared he got a bogey-flavoured one once." Ron continued and Harry took the sweat out of his mouth.

"These aren't real frog, are they?" Nora asked picking the box.

"It's just a spell. Besides, it's the cards you want. Each pack's got a famous witch or wizard. I've got about 500 myself."

Nora opened the box, she had always loved chocolate but as soon as it was open the frog jumped out to the window, climbed up and the wind blow him away.

"Oh, that's rotten luck. They've only got one good jump in them to begin with."

She showed them the card. "I got about six of him." Ron said. But when she looked back at the card he was gone. "He's gone."

"That's so cool." Jeremy said. "I wish we had photos like that."

"Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day, can you?" Nora looked down at the rat in his lap.

"This is Scabbers, by the way. Pathetic, isn't he?"

"Just a little." Harry answered while Nora just looked at the rat with disgust. Why would anyone pick a rat as a pet, I'll rather have none then. She petted Belle who was purring on her lap as she pets her.

"Fred gave me a spell as to turn him yellow. Want to see?"

"Yeah."

At the moment Ron took out his wand, ready to preform the spell somebody walked in and looked around. "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one."

"No." Ron said.

And the girl realising they were about to do magic looked at him. "Are you doing magic? Let's see, then."

Ron cleared his troath. "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow turn this stupid fat rat yellow." Nothing happened and Ron looked at Harry, who only shrugged.

"Sorry to disapoint you, Ron, but I don't think it's a real spell." Nora spoke with pity, seeing his sad look.

"Well it's not very good, is it?" The girl with bushy brown hair spoke, looking unimpressed. "Of course, I've only tried a few simple ones myself but they've all worked for me.

She sat down next to Nora and pointed her wand at her. "For example: "Oculus Reparo." Nora took of her glasses and looked at it. "That's better, isn't it?" But she soon realised something. "Holy cricket, you're Nora Potter."

Nora smiled back at Hermione.

She turned to Harry. "And you're Harry Potter. I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?"

She looks at Ron. "I'm Ron Weasley."

"Pleasure." She said while looking disturbed by his eating. "You three better change into robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." She stood up and walked away but turned back as she stood by the door and spoke to Ron.

"You've got dirt on your nose, by the way. Did you know?" She placed a finger against the right side of her nose. "Just there."

After a little longer travelling they were finally stopping.

"We'll they already made a friend." Finn said.

"Of course they would make friends, Finn. That's our niece and her brother-cousin. Everybody related to me under the age of seventeen is the best."

The others just rolled their eyes and Niklaus looked at Kol offended.

"What?" Kol asked, seeing his brother. "Just speaking my truths."

Elijah was glad she was finally away from the Dursley's and would be for a long while.
