[Marley Malkin]

[Trip over something]

 

Darn it. Marley didn't like being late to things, especially the things she was looking forward to. She had hoped to be early, so she could find her friends before the train would depart. There was no way that was going to happen now. Her kitten, Chloe, was the cause of it all, Marley had the most trouble to get her in her crate. Once Marley was finally ready, she and her mother raced towards King's Cross, which wasn't too far from their Diagon Alley home. She was just in time, or so it seemed like. Still, Marley was in a rush, wanting to meet up with her friends as soon as possible to claim a place on the train together. "Let's go mom!" She said as she pushed her cart to the entrance pillar, but ended up stumbling when she pushed her cart into some trash a muggle had left behind, although the sudden movement of the cart that made her trip, the cart also made sure she didn't fall, as she was able to catch her balance on the hand grip. People could be so gross. It's not that hard to clean up your trash. 

[Esme Warren]

[throw a tantrum]

"I'm sorry Esme but no!"
Miriam Warren, Esme's mother had her stern voice on as she was dealing with her youngest daughter. It wasn't that often that the girl wanted to throw her toys out the pram metaphorically speaking but she was uncharacteristically stubborn.
"It's mine anyway, why not?" Was there something so wrong with wanting to take your Pokemon card collection to show a friend what you had? She didn't think there was but to Mae's mum adding a massive folder to the things that you were already laden with wasn't the smartest of ideas. "I can put it in the chest," Negotiating was a tactic that she hadn't used yet so what was the worst that could happen here.
"Esme Natalie Warren, meh decision is final. No. Now give the folder to yeh dad and we can take it home with us,"
Frowning at her mum, she reluctantly handed it on over to her dad and grabbed her trolley. "This sucks..." and ran full belt at the pillar to the platform.

[Healer Anton Garstang]

[Cry]

 

With a blink of an eye, the summer was far behind them and they were rolling into fall term which looks promising. There were three more years to go before Anton would be one of the graduating bodies and he cannot wait for adulthood. As they rolled into the train station with his father who took out the time to drop them despite his busy schedule, Anton hugged him. He wasn't one of those kids who will cry because his father was leaving him. He could even hear some students crying and rolled his eyes. It's not like they were going forever. Anton waited till Alyssa was done with her teary goodbye so they can board the train. "Aren't you coming till the train?" Anton asked wondering why were they being so sentimental when they still had a few minutes.

[Alyssa Garstang]

(“Hufflepuff Rocks!”)

Summer had started and ended without her realizing or getting to spend a lot of time with her father. When it came to the twins, the two were close to him but Alyssa was the closest. Mainly since she helped him out in the chores and spoke to him when he was home unlike her brother who was holed up in his room planning an alien invasion from the looks of it. Standing outside the platform nine and three quarters as they awaited a few before them to pass through the pillar, Alyssa had turned to hug her father tight after her brother was done. A few minutes were left for the train to depart but she felt sad at leaving her father behind for yet another year. “I’ll miss you, daddy.” Alyssa buried her face on his chest. Anton’s comment annoyed her for his thoughts had bad intentions. She pulled away in time to see a young boy screaming Hufflepuff rocks which brought a smile to her face.

[Healer Anton Garstang]

[Dementors! ]

 

Watching Alyssa not leaving his father made Anton roll his eyes and to distract them he thought he should do a little something. "Are those... dementors!" It wasn't a question but a shocking statement made that emphasized drama and as soon as his sister would be distracted he'd burst out laughing. She was and he chuckled, turning away to the front. "I am going first." Anton didn't wait to hear all the insults her sister or father had to throw at him and rushed towards the pillar as he found way. Everytime he did so, there was this fear of crashing but nothing happened and he found himself outside of the Hogwarts Express.

[Alyssa Garstang]

(Candy from the trolley)

Dementors in the muggle train station? Alyssa pulled back in surprise to find the annoying smile plastered on her brother’s lips. She would whip him with something but before she can, he announces to go through the pillar. Alyssa wanted to go first but she conceded, gesturing with open palms for him to go ahead. It will put a full stop to his relentlessly annoying thoughts. Before Alyssa can enter the pillar herself, her father stopped her and put a small bag of galleons in the side pocket of her trunk for her Hogsmeade trip or if she wanted candy from the trolley. She assumed from her father’s earlier conversation this week, he feared Anton will misuse it. “Thank you da,” she responded gratefully as they both headed towards the pillar.

[Sherlock Thorns]

[“Get out!”]

 

(Before the departure)

Sherlock was ready to take the train and go back to school. He loved his parents, but right now, he needed to be there, with his friends, and he needed to make a sense of what had happened the passed weeks. He felt the horrible need to talk to Beckett on one on one, and to tell him about all he felt, all the guilt he had felt at Leslie’s death. He was terrified at the idea to tell him about it, but at the same time, he felt the need to.

 

He had his trunks on a trolley and was sliding between the many tourists walking and running on the platforms, not alway paying attention to others. Muggles!, he thought as he avoided one old whining woman for the third time. That kind of nuisance wasn’t enough to stop him so he continued, pushing forward to the platform 9 3/4 entrance. And there... they were so many muggles packed up, obstructing the pillar that was the entrance to the magical platform.... Anxiously, Sherlock looked at his pocket watch, the time was flying by so quickly. The train would not wait for him. He waited a little but nobody has moving! “Get Out!” He said with a strong voice, “Get out of the way, I need to pass by!” He said. People were so surprised that they did what they were told, and he didn’t wait for them to realize that he was just a boy getting angry at them, he ran towards the pillar, disappearing from sight, relieved to see the Hogwarts Express waiting for him on the other side...

[Zayne Hendrik]

[Trip on something]

 

After a lot of fussing, Zayne was at the Kings Cross Station waiting to board the train that will start a new chapter of his life. He was so excited that he didn't see and tripped on his own trunk almost banging his head on the top of it. Jeez man, it was a be clumsy day. He sighed as he straightened up and waited for his mother who was getting something from the muggle store on the station before she joined him. Alright, let's go. On the count of one, two, three! Zayne picked up speed as he judged the barrier, praying to god that this was no trick to get them murdered by a pillar. The pillar seemed so hard, so real but it worked for the students ahead of him so it should work for him too, right? With that he pushed himself into the pillar - which he went through.

[Esme Warren]

[gossip]

As soon as her toddler tantrum was over, Esme saw her older sister Caitriona come on over with her phone and pulled her sister to the side with this grin on her face. "I know yeh got a train teh catch but yeh need to read this..." The two sisters were close and that was something that the young girl was going to miss. Cait was a source of advice and was level headed which made it easier to talk to, plus as a girl, the transition into being a teenager or a woman was great and less embarrassing than talking to her mum.

Mae took her sisters phone as her eyes grew wider. "I thought Richie liked Jenna," she said looking at Cait's smiling face. "Cait! What did yeh do?"
"I did nothing. May have suggested that Richie go and see Jenna at Nero's... When I knew she was with Harrison,"
That was pure EVIL! She never her knew her sister could be so devious and the two girls were whispering and giggling to one and other until their mum looked at them and called Esme on over. It was tme to go.

[Official Lydia Hyland]

[Dementors]

 

The students for Hogwarts express went in the trolley one after another and Lydia heard one of them talking about dementors as she stood there with her brother. She's heard of the dementor incident but would it still happen now? Lydia was aware of the recent explosion that was all over the Sweden newspaper but it wouldn't come inside the train or castle, right? Hogwarts was a safe place. She shook her head and prepared to follow the next kid through the pillar. This was it. The start of the final year. Lydia knew there was no point deciding already as her last few years had been so abrupt and out of the blue. Still, most of her was looking forward to seeing what's in store for them.

[Francoise Turei]

{Swap snacks}

 

Her family was walking next to her. Her parents, grandmother and one of her uncles had decided to join her for her last journey as a student along the train station. Since they all had come a long way from Aitutaki just two days ago, and had done a last minute shopping the day before, they had been too exhausted to get up early and hadn't eaten anything by the time they arrived in London. They had spotted a street food vendor and brought something to munch on. They all would get to visit a restaurant or cafe and have a nice meal, but Franky would have to eat something quick, and bought herself a sandwich. She wasn't a fan, but preferred it rather than filling her belly with candy and junk food only. Her uncle had gotten himself a cheese on toast while she had bought a chip butty, entirely by mistake. It wasn't that it looked disgusting, but she didn't feel the need nor want to eat it. Her uncle had seen her face and asked her if she wanted to swap sandwiches, and she grinned at him. The man seemed happy to try something new, so she didn't feel guilty for taking the cheese on toast one, which she'd definitely enjoy.
