Jcanator, see when we reach Hogwarts, can you start speaking in English, please. Also, the train can't leave until everyone is on it. I don't have a cat, VirtualWeasel's character's called Alex.
Aidan noticed the colourful advert, but then a shock realisation hit him. "Father, I've not got an owl!"
John smiled and turned around. He took the wand from his son and waved it. There was a pop and a metal cage appeared. Inside was a beautiful snowy owl with piercing amber eyes. It hooted playfully. "Dad," He exclaimed, embracing his father. "It's lovely."

Sorry, I thought that you were talking to me.
Read the OP, I've changed it. It's down the bottom.
Alistair pushed his trolley towards the barrier, parents by his sides. They passed through the wall and onto the crowded platform.
All around where many wizards and witches, and many students, some already wearing their robes. Owls hooted and cats meowed, the air was filled with magic.
"We're going to miss you Al," his mother said, "promise you'll write to us."
"I promise mum," Alistair replied, "I'm going to miss you too."
"We'll always be here for you," his father said, "now you better find a carriage, the train can get very packed. Let me help you with your trunk."
Alistair's father took the trolley from his son and headed down the platform, looking for an empty carriage. Alistair followed closely, taking in the wonderful sights and sound all around him. His mother walked beside him, still arm-in-arm with her son.
"Mum, you were right," Alistair announced, "I think I'm going to love Hogwarts!"
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.
Aidan was amazed that to get to Platform 9 3/4 he had to walk through a doorway, disguised as a red-bricked pillar. As soon as he walked through the gateway, after feeling an icy sensation, he gasped at the amount of activity in the place. Smoke, wafted from the steam train, covered the busy platform in a misty fog, weak but choking.
The train, painted scarlet red, was filled with happy-faced students, some wearing dark coloured robes. A few pompous wizards and witches, dubbed Prefects, were using their authority to get the younger children to do their bidding, such as carrying suitcases and items, until they were apprehended by a few caring parents.
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'm amazed that I understood almost everything Jcnator said in Spanish.
"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.

Those are very good. King, I think that me and you will have some... difficulties. With me being a sort of paragon, and you being a... erm... villain. Also, would it not be ma mere, la means the.
"This is exactly how I remember it." Said John, emptying the cart. "It's an amazing train, a journey that will lead you to some place magical, a warren of adventure. Take care, I'll see you during the holidays, providing that you want to leave, of course."
"Father, I think that I'll get home sick before then." He informed his dad, a tear rolling from his eye.
"Don't worry, Aidan. It's amazing." And he began to explain Hogwarts in depth. "The feast... Mmm... Bacon and eggs for breakfast, pasta for lunch and chicken for dinner. Courtesy of the resident House Elves obviously."
"House Elves?" He wondered in a voice of bewilderment.
The steam engine squealed, demanding to depart. "You'll see son. Now go. The trains leaving."
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!"

Aidan boarded the train and saw two boys glaring at each other, their hands in their pockets. "Hello... Quinn is it?" He interrupted, trying to defuse the confrontation.
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.
The sad truth is, kids today will never know why pikachu is never inside a pokeball.
"Erm... I don't think that anyone would be pleased to be friends with an attitude-driven snob with an inflated ego like you." Defended Aidan, already disliking this ill-mannered aristocrat.
