It was at least 4 hours until we were to board the Hogwarts Express from
"Platform 9and 3/4?" I asked
"Yeah, weird eh?" My brother asked
"There is no such thing as 3/4 on a platform! We all know that!"
"That's what you think, Jules!" Yulia commented
"Yulia!!" Emilia hissed
"Sorry mum, couldn't help it!"
We walked up to a red, brick wall. Very similar to the Diagon Alley one.
"So... It's yet another boring wall! What are we supposed to do here, walk into it?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"Spot on Julie!" Emilia smiled.
"Um... really?"
She then ran into the wall, disappearing in the process. I took a step back, with shock taking over my face with literal "What The Heck?" expression (according to Dan anyway!)
He then ran in and so did the rest of the Sargent family. I looked around, no one watching so I nervously ran into the brick wall with my eyes shut, wishing for a painless ending. Once I opened my eyes, I no longer saw what was there before me a second before. I saw "Hogwarts Express, platform 9 and 3/4. I jumped up and down for joy for this meant that I could learn magic without my overprotective parent intervention.
We loaded our luggage onto the train and stepped on to the train. It looked just like the Muggle version only...more comfortable. Daniel found us an empty compartment and we sat in it. It was a small, four person compartment with green leather seats, overhead lockers and even more amazing.... walls painted with quotes from famous people e.g. Harry, Dumbledore, Hermione and so on. Harry, Ron and Hermione all worked for the Ministry of Magic.Tough jobs, but I promised myself that I would one day be as good as Hermione Granger. I would know everything on every subject, be able to pass all my exams and fight against the creatures of darkness.
Few minutes later....
"Hey, is there spare room in here? Everywhere else is booked solid!" a girl my age asked politely as she stepped into our compartment.
"Sit wherever you want!" Dan and I said at the same time.
"Thanks! I'm Veronica. Veronica Erring!" She said with a smile as she sat next to me.
"My name is Julie and that is Daniel!" I replied, smiling back at her
"Julie....Daniel...Sharmons! No way! I finally get to meet you in person! My mother has always told me about the story of you two!" She shouted quietly.
"Pleased to meet you too, Veronica! Call me Jules and call Daniel Dan."
"Sure! You can call me Vera!"
Then the train had stopped violently.
"Why have we stopped?" Daniel asked.
"Something tells me that we will have to use offensive and defensive magic" I replied
"You are the only one to know many of them, Vera and I know none!"
Then the train's lights had all gone of, one by one.
"Someone is using a lightsaber." I said
"A what?" Vera asked
"Lightsaber. A magical item that allows collection of light from any targeted place. Hagrid used it to pick me up from the street without being seen"
"So what do we do? We can't go outside and all we can do is move about the train!" Dan commented
"Dan you are a genius! If we go to the back of the train, we might get a picture of what is going on" Vera said and high fived him
We ran out of the compartment and though the other students that gathered outside their compartments. We got to the end of the train where the doors were wide open, surprisingly. I peeked though to see what was going on and I had then seen them. six men and three women with masks on, pointing their wands at me.
I threw myself back against the wall.
"Death....Eaters!" I said while gasping for breath.
"Who?" Vera asked
"No time. I'll explain later. Vera, go and get other people here. Dan and I will stay and try to slow them down."
Vera ran as quick as she could out of the compartment.
"Any good defensive and offensive spells, spell dictionary?"
"You bet. Protago Maxima, Expelliarmus and Petrificus Totallus!"
"I'll just copy you as I have no idea of how to cast any of there spells.
I walked up to the door. I stood shocked as one of them had Vera with their wand pointed at her head.
One of the Death Eaters flew over to me as if it glided across the air.
"Tell us now, where is your uncle and aunt's treasure!" He demanded
"I don't know!" I replied
"Tell us now or your friend is dust!"
"Don't make me"
"What? You have no spells up your sleeve! What can you do?" He laughed.
"Don't underestimate me, pal. Expelliarmus Maxima!" I shouted
The spell beamed across the Death Eater cround, dispersing them. Vera began to fall.
"Vera!" I screamed and ran out onto the tracks.
"Carpe Retractum!" I shouted. Vera started to come back to the tracks
She landed beside be and then hugged me.
"Thank you so much, Jules!"
Then a whole crowd of students flooded through onto the train tracks
"Wow, who did that powerful spell? Who was the one to cast that intense spell? Who, who who?" They kept asking. Dan and Vera pointed at me. I smiled shyly.
"Wow amazing!Where did you learn to cast such powerful spells?" a girl called Rayna asked
"I taught myself through books and practice!"
Then a woman dressed in green robes and a green pointy hat came through.
"I heard about the attack and came to see the situation as soon as I could. Where are they?" she asked
"Julie cast a powerful spell that send them away, Professor Mcgonagall!" Dan said
"Julie, I know I gave you permission to buy all school books but my goodness, that must have been a pretty powerful spell you cast. What was it?" She asked again
"Expelliarmus Maxima, Professor!" I replied
"Even though it is a second year spell, you have a powerful wand there." She finished and ordered everyone to go back to the train.
In our compartment
"Tell me who are the Death Eaters?" Vera asked
"They are Lord's Voldemort's followers. Since he is dead, they are Draco Malfoy's followers instead. They were looking for us to tell them where it is that our aunt and uncle's treasure is. But we don't know where it is or what it is." I explained
"Hey, I heard about that. No one knows what it is, but I know that it is in the Hogwarts Castle. My mother is familiar with everything, you see."
Dan and I looked at each other with the same look. Our thoughts where similar. On the same subject at least.
Next chapter is on the Sorting Ceremony. Where will Vera, Julie and Daniel go? Ravenclaw is possible for Julie. Vera is a candidate for Huffelpuff as her mother, her father and her sister Mary were in Huffelpuff. And Daniel could be either Griffindor or Slytherin. But will they go to there houses? Find out soon!
"That's what you think, Jules!" Yulia commented
