[Hogwarts Between] Seluna train thread

[Fiona Trumitch]

Seluna looked out the window at the train station. She thought that it
had started with a simple letter, but this was much more. She was
going to some unknown place to learn MAGIC?!?!? The idea sounded like
she had both gone crazy and finally found her life, her real life. Not
some life where she lived every day the same. Every day had dragged on
with nothing new or exciting happening. She was fed lies by her
parents and had lived an empty life.

This step, this train, this school, everything, this was something she
had been hoping for for a long time, and she was too scared to move.
Finally she took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. She didn't
want Mori to think she was scared of anything. Besides she ran away
from her boring life, her parents, and everything she knew. She could
do this. Carrying her backpack, suitcase, and Lucky in a carrier, she
waved goodbye to Mori's dad and started to go in.

Once Mori caught up she started looking for platform 9 3/4. She had
been here before, and she had never seen a platform 9 3/4. "How are we
supposed to find the train?" she asked Mori.

"Well my dad had said that it should be right... here." Mori said,
pointing towards the wall between the 9th and 10th platforms. "He said
that we just walk through."

"Wait, we have to walk into a WALL!?!" said Seluna with a surprised
look on her face. Mori shrugged and walked up to it slowly, so she
would not hit it if this did not work. She touched it and her hand
went through the wall! She walked all the way through and her body
dissappered. "This is CRAZY!" exclaimed Seluna, after wacthing Mori
walk through. She went up to it and gulped. Then she stepped through.

She looked around and stood frozen. The platform said 9 3/4. So it was
real. And if this was real then everything else had to be as well.

"Come on!" called Mori, standing a little way farther down. Seluna
nodded and then ran to catch up with her friend. They stowed thier
luggage, all but Lucky and Mori's owl. They got on the train and found
an empty car. Seluna said nothing, trying to take in everything she
could.
