"Bueno hijo, te veo en las vacaciones" Said his father.

"Ya papá, el tren se va. Me tengo que ir. Ven Elric" Edward answered. Eric followed him to the train.

"Recuerda que es mejor que no hables con las serpientes!" Reminded him his father.

"Ok, chao!" He said boarding the train and started to look for an empty cabin.

Yodah slowly pushed his trolley through King's Cross, taking in all the sights and sounds.

His dad stopped him and said, "We're here."

Yodah looked quizzically at the wall in front of him. "We are? It just looks like an normal place in the station."

His dad walked to the wall and said, "That's right, it does. But watch this." His dad went to lean against the wall, then winked at him and fell through it.

Yodah gasped in astonishment. "Now that is how to hide an entrance," he thought.

Yodah ran his trolley up to the wall, and passed through it. In front of him was a spectacular train, painted in all red with some black. The plate on the front of the train read 'HOGWARTS EXPRESS'.

His dad walked up beside him and said, "It's quite a sight isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I saw it."

Yodah and his dad said their goodbyes, and Yodah walked towards the train. Alex meowed in delight as they boarded it. Yodah took a look back and waved to his father, who waved back.

He then walked deeper into it, and said to Alex, "This year is going to be great Alex, you just wait." Alex meowed in agreement.

With all of Hannibal's luggage (including Handel) mounted on a cart, the Roi family stopped at the hidden gateway that led to the platform.

Cecilia bent down and kissed her son on the cheek. "Hannibal, do not do anything foolish at school."

Hannibal rolled his eyes. "I know, Mother!"

"I want you to be careful, faire attention." Cecilia pointed her finger at her son, showing him that she meant what she said. "I will not hear a single negative comment from your professors. You you understand?"

Hannibal sighed irritably. "Oui, ma Mère."

Napoleon patted the boy on the back. "I'm proud of you, my son." he stated with a small, almost unnoticeable grin. "You will be accepted into Slytherin, just as your mother and I were during our childhood."

"I will do well." Hannibal reassured. "I'll be one of the best at Hogwarts!"

"You'll be the best at Hogwarts." his father corrected. "Now go on. We explained to you how you'll reach the platform."

Cecilia gave her son a hug. "We love you so much, my son."

Hannibal nodded, turned, and made his way through the gateway with his luggage. "Ma bonté, Handel!" he said to his owl as they set their eyes on the Hogwarts Express. "This is incredible!" He observed the many students that were boarding the train.

Percy and his dad looked at the wall, his dad had explained it before. His dad went through the wall, and Percy followed, holding his cat His dad turned to him.
"Okay, follow me." His dad said. He followed him, and was soon at the train. His dad hugged him.
"Have fun." He said. Percy mumbled, and walked onto the train. He got all of his suitcase of stuff in a good place, and sat down at an empty seat.

"I can't believe there was an Acromantula! I need to investigate this. If that was a Wizard's pet -- it's happened before -- they're going to Azkaban." Vincent said firmly.

"Dad, we're here." Quinn said to Vincent, reminding him that there was something else going on.

"Oh, my son, of course. Platform 9 3/4 - just run into that pillar. It's magic - you'll go right through it." Vincent said. "Ah, no son, not that Pillar. That one. Yes. Good luck in Hogwarts, my boy! I'll see you during the next vacation!"

Quinn ran into the wall and appeared in King's Cross Station, then boarded the train.

With his luggage safely stored on the train, Hannibal boarded the train. He wanted to take Handel with him, but he felt the owl would be safer with the rest of the luggage.

Hannibal laughed as he passed Quinn. "You're the son of that fellow my father hates!"

"It's funny." Quinn said, smiling to himself. "I was about to say the same thing to you!"

"Je suppose que mon père avait raison!" Hannibal said to Quinn. "Your father seems like a bit of a fool to dislike my family. We could do you well."

Samael saw all the children being sent off by there parents, and began to miss his own. They were both tied up at the ministry, and unable to see his first day at hogwarts. His companion gave a supportive squeal as he boarded the train. "This is it." He said, feeling less sure of himself.
