Running To The Platform

Remus ran between the muggles as he pulled trolly with all his belonging on it, and a tatty old barn owl.

Remus himself looked a state, his hair was sticking up here and there and his cloths looked like they were passed down in the family, a few life times before his own.

He stopped and looked at his ticket "Oh were is it?" he said looking at the back f it wishing a map would appear.

He looked around looking at the muggles looking back at him. He felt like a giant in a field full of Gnomes.

Walking swiftly with shopping bags and pushing a cart piled high with her belongings, she looked around for the platform.

She weaved in and out of the muggles hoping to see someone she would know going to Hogwarts too.

He looked round and up at the signs with the platform numbers.
He thought about asking someone but there didn't seem to be anyone that looked like he could ask, not even a conductor.

He pushed his trolly on looking up now and then, till he reached Platform 9, but he couldn't see a platform 9 3/4.

Pandora finally saw the plateform with the number 9. She speed up not wanting to be late. Her owl started hooting.

"shh, you'll draw attention to us, she said to the owl."

*She brushed past a boy standing there with his cart, remembeing what Godric told her to do. She lined her trolley up with the piller ready to run into the wall.*

"Hey What Are You Doing!" he cried as he saw the guy suddenly running into the way, then go through it..

He looked at the muggles looking at him and gulped a little and moved his trolly infront of the wall as the girl had before him.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and ran straight through.

Remus looked round as he could see others there. He saw the girl who'd gone in before him and looked back to see another come through.

He slowly pushed his trolly to the side and looked at his watch. There was plenty of time to get on board.

He pulled out a apple from his coat pocket and bit into it and continued to looked round at the students.

Lupin finished his apple and looked back to the girl he'd seen first.

He took a deep breath and walked over to her leaving his belonging by the side of the way by the enterance.

He looked down at his feet and asked her "..I take it you're in the.. second year?" he said looking up at her "Just because I'm new and had no idea how to find the platform... thought you would have been nice enough to of said.."

*Once through the wall, she walked beside of the train stopping to let them put her luggage onto the train. After dropping them off she heard a boy speak to her.*

"Umm no..actually...My grandfather walked me though it once, so I wouldn't be lost when I came down here alone to catch the Hogwarts Express. It's my first year, she said smilling to the boy"

"Im Pandora, she said with a smile to him."

"really?" he said smiling back at her

"It's nice to meet your Pandora, I'm Remus, and I already said It was my first year didn't I?"

He looked over to the train and back to her.

"Wish my dad told me how to get here, couldn't be happier to get rid of me for a bit at least, can't wait to get there and to start." he said beaming

She grinned..."Me too, I love it there, she caught herself and stopped. "I mean I bet it's great." "Nice to meet someone, I hate not knowing anyone."

"You've been there?" he blurted out

"How come? thought no oneother that professors or students could go there.."

He said feeling a little left out, after being shut up a home for just under a year after he was attacked.

"Wish I knew there was a open day.."

"I'm not supossed to tell, but yeah, I've been there. My Godfather works there and my Grandfather is a founder." You'll see what I'm talking about once you are put into one of the four houses, she said smilling." "I know, I could help you find your away around, well if you like?"

"Well sure, can't say no to that offer." he said running to get his trolly and coming back to her

"A founder, well can't wait to find out who he is, think we should get a good seat on the train before the others come? be a ran rush soon I bet."

"Yes probably will." "Well come on lets get a seat and then we can get alot of sweets for the trip there, she said grinning.

*Starts walking toward the train entrance*

He grabbed his bag and owl and followed her into the train making his way down the compartments to find somewhere to go......

*Smilling she walked down the isle looking for a compartment. Finding a empty one she steps in and motions for Remus to come to.*

(need to go to a new thread The Hogwarts Express where Harriate has Gone.)

Narcissa arrived at the platform with her two big sisters Bellatrix and Andromeda. She was very excited about her first year and she hoped that she would be sorted into the same house as her sisters. Narcissa was very worried about wether or not she might be. She couldn't stand to be away from them. Seeing that they already hoped on, Narcissa waved to her parents goodbye and she hoped on the train herself.
