Status: Ongoing; Closed
As it was the year before and the year before that, as long as anyone currently alive in the wizarding world could remember, the Platform at 9 3/4 was absolutely filled with children. Young children looking nervous and excited and perhaps a bit frightened. Older children who already know the routine and milling about with family and friends before they boarded the train. There were just as many adults as well - mothers, some of whom were looking happy and some sad and some even crying openly. There were also fathers who looked a bit misty-eyed as well. There were also Aunts and Uncles, and Grandparents.
It was a family affair, seeing a young one go off to Hogwarts for the year.
As soon as everyone had said their goodbyes and promises to write, the large steam engine blew out a bellow of white steam from its stack, and the whistle blew deafeningly loud. Kids waved to people still on the platform, and their chatter was soon overpowered by the screeching of wheels turning. The steam engine began to chug slowly, almost as if it couldn't go - but then it began to pull out of the station and into the blinding light of the summer sun.
They were on their way!
