Dad took us to the Train Station, you know...the Muggle Train Station.
As we walked with our Hogwarts stuff. I looked for Platform 9 3/4.
But I only see Platform 9 and 10.

"Dad, there's no Platform 9 3/4." I stated.
Dad suddenly smirked.

"That's when the fun starts." he said.
I was so confused.

Belle didn't hesitate to go ahead.

"Belle!" I exclaimed. But then, she went through.
"What happened, Dad?! Belle is okay, right?!" I asked, freaking out.

Dad chuckled at me and held onto my trolley.
"You'll see." He said.

"Wait..." Dad and I went through platform 9 and 10.

And I was surprised. I heard the train whislted.

Then I saw the sign.

Platform 9 3/4

"wow." I muttered.

"Come on, Erika. Belle is over there waiting." Dad said.
I nodded and we went forward.

We found Belle easily. Because she only stays in one spot. Dad helps us to put our stuff away for the train.

"Okay, you two. Have fun in Hogwarts." Dad said.
"We will." I said.

Dad smiled at us. He pulled us into a hug.
Belle and I hugged him back.

"I'll miss you two." Dad said.
"We'll miss you." I said.

The train whistled again.
"Okay, it's time to go." Dad said.

We nodded and climbed up to the train.
We turned back and waved at Dad.

"Bye Dad!!!!" I exclaimed.
"Bye!!! Take care of each other!!!" Dad chimed, waving us back.

I giggled and nodded, while waving.

~The Train ride~
Belle and I couldn't find a spot to sit. It's too crowded.
Until we saw two boys.

"Hey, you two. Do you two mind? Everywhere else is full." I said.
"Not at all." said the boy with glasses.

I smiled and Belle followed me.
We both sat by the boy with red hair.

"I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasely." he introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you." I said.

"I'm Harry. Harry Potter. I think we met each other before." he said.
I giggled.

"Yes, we did. At Ollivanders." I said.

"What are your names?" Ron asked.
"Oh, I'm Erika Lee and this is my twin...Isabelle. But you can call her Belle for short." I replied.

Ron's eyes went wide.
"Wait....you two are from the Lee Clan." he said.
"Yes, we are. Why did you ask?" I asked.

"Blimey! I heard the Lee Clan is the most powerful wizards ever!" he replied.
"That's true." I said.

Ron started to look at Belle.
"Is your sister okay? She's very quiet." he said.

I turned to Belle and she was being shy.
"Oh, she's just shy around new people. Please, be gentle with her." I replied.

"I see. Well, I hope we get to be good friends." Ron said.

I smiled at that.

"Anything for the trolley dears?" a women with a trolley asked.
"No thanks. I'm all set." Ron replied.

That doesn't look too good. I thought.

"We'll take the lot." Harry said and pulled out some coins."
"Whoa." Ron said.

And....they bought a whole lot.

~Later~
"Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans." Harry said, confused.
"They mean every flavor. There's chocolate and peppermint and there's also spinach, liver and tripe. George swear he got a boogie flavored once. " Ron said.

Belle and I quickly spit it out while Harry crinkled his nose.
Harry picked up something.

"These aren't real frogs, are they?" he asked.
"It's just a spell. Besides it's the card you want. Each packs got a famous witch or wizard." Ron explained.

"Sounds....interesting." I said.

Harry opened the box and the frog hopped onto the window.

"Watch it." Ron said.
The frog hopped out of the window and got blown away.

"Aw. That's rotten luck. They've only got one good jump to begin with." Ron said.

"There's always next time, right?" I asked.
Ron nodded and continued to eat his candy.

"I got Dumbledore." Harry said, looking at his card.
"I got about 6 of them." Ron said.

"Hey. He's gone." Harry said.
"What? Really?" I asked. I looked at the card Harry was holding, and he was really gone.

"You can't expect him to run around all day." Ron said.
Harry and I glanced at the rat that Ron had in his lap. Belle sort of got scared.

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

Harry shrugged. "Just a little bit."
"He's.........cute?" I said.

Belle looked at Scabbers in a weird way. She shivered and back away.
"Is Belle afraid of rats?" Ron asked.

"She usually does, but not all the time." I replied.
"Scabbers won't hurt anyone. I promise you that." Ron said.

Belle slowly nodded.

"Oh, yeah. Fred gave me a spell to turn him yellow. Want to see?" Ron asked.
"Yeah." Harry replied.

"Sure." I said, while Belle nodded.

Ron got his wand out and cleared his throat.

"Sun----" he was cut off when a girl stepped in front of the compartment.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost one." she said.
"No." Ron replied.

"Oh. Are you doing magic? Let's see then." she said.

Ron cleared his throat again. "Sunshine daisies butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow." Ron said.
He flicked his wand at Scabbers, but all that happened was the box falling off his head.

Didn't work as I expected. I thought.

"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good is it. Of course, I would try to do simple ones myself, but they would've work for me." she said.

She came in and sat by me and Belle.

"For example." She pointed her wand at Harry. Making him crossed eye.

"Oculus Reparo." Harry's glasses were fixed.

"That's better, isn't it?" she said.

Harry took off his glasses and looked at them. He looked at Ron, then me and then Belle.

"Holy cricket. You're Harry Potter." she said.

Then she glanced at us.

"And you two are Erika and Isabelle Lee. From the Lee Clan. Well, I'm Hermione Granger." she said.
She then turned to Ron.

"And you are...."

"Ron Weasley." Ron said.

"Pleasure. You 4 best change into robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." Hermione suggested.

She got up and walked out of the compartment, but......she looked at Ron.

"You've got dirt on your nose, by the way. Did you know, just there." Hermione pointed to her nose.

Ron rubbed the dirt off his nose, but it's still there.
