The Solid Barrier Dividing Platforms 9 & 10 (Come Here 1st!)

[Tipsie Fairy]

O'Connell Family

Seán ----- │ ----- Fiona │ Dana ----- │----- McKenna

Hand in hand, McKenna and Seán O'Connell abruptly stop walking. Being a muggle, McKenna couldn't go through the solid barrier dividing Platforms 9 and 10. She could possibly go through, but she didn't think she was up to it this time. Despite having wizard friends longer than she'd been married to one, she was still a bit unsure of all the magic. "What's wrong baby?" he asked his beautiful wife, hoping she would have changed her mind. "I'd rather see 'em off 'ere than board the train," she said, looking at her girls. "It might be easier 'or me," she gave him a small, reassuring smile.

"Mommy," Fiona said, turning around and running up to her mom. "Yes love?" she asked her teary eyed daughter, squatting down with open arms. Fi ran right into her mother's open arms and cried. "Shush love," she cooed, wrapping her arms around her and pulling her in closer. "You won't be gone that long," she said, rocking them back and forth.

Seán bent down, preparing to catch Dana as she ran up to him. "Daddy, I will miss you," she told him as he picked her up and put her in the air. "Daddy will miss you too," he told his giggling child. He lowered her and pulled her in, holding her in his arms. "Daddy will miss you too," he said again, quietly. "I love you daddy," she said, hiding her crying eyes in his neck.

It was pretty clear who was the daddy's girl and who was the mommy's girl. Both parents had teary eyes, and both smiled when they looked over and saw their other child in the other parents embrace. As Fiona and McKenna broke their loving embrace, Fi ran up to her father. With the arm not holding Dana, he brought her in. "Fi will miss you too!" she said, making sure to get her spot with their dad. "I'll miss Fi too," he told her, giving her a smile. "The both of you do realize I am going to the Platform, 'ight?" he asked them as his wife came over and kissed Dana. "Mommy will miss you," she whispered, taking her from Seán. "We know," they said together and giggled. McKenna rolled her eyes and smiled. "My silly little girls."

McKenna put her back down and the girls ran back to their carts. Quickly, Seán gave his emotional wife a kiss before he caught up with them. "I will run in with Fi, and hold on to the end of you cart," he told Dani, who nodded. They did as he said and McKenna broke down as soon as Dani disappeared through the barrier.

[[Continued from Olivander's Wand Shop]]

Cathryn wheeled her luggage cart to face the solid barrier. She felt her mother's hand on her shoulder. "It's best to run, if you're nervous." Shannon whispered in Cat's ear. "I'll be right behind you." Cat squared her shoulders, and her feet picked up speed as she crashed right into the wall! But, she kept running. She stopped and opened her eyes. What she saw was amazing...

Ethan King





Unsorted first year



Ethan and his family followed Cathryn and her mother. Ethan was struggling with his trolley, since he'd overpacked. Twigs sat in his cage, asleep. Katherine was singing about how exciting this was, while Ethan's parents glowed with pride. After Cathryn had entered the platform, Ethan took off running behind her, eager to get onto the platform. Just as he made contact with the wall, his momentum didn't stop. Instead, he was on the platform he'd waited to go to his whole life. It was gorgeous.

Cathryn and her parents approached the barrier for the second time in Cathryn's life. This time, Cat didn't hesitate to march right through. Her parents followed right behind her, and the picture before her was still as amazing as before.

Shin Sever

My name is Shin Sever...

I am not the Yongest, or the brightest son...

..I am the most hated, But I am strong.

Slytherin 5th Year

> Shin saw all of the small children as he stood to the back. His scared face hidden by his hair. He was growing up. He was no longer as scared as he used to be, having decided that his only option was to do what he wanted. His parents were never going to like him, there was nothing he could do about that. His parents, mostly his mother, Hated him. He was ugly and slow and he knew it. Part of him protested that he was infact worth something, but that part of him was dying. It was being drowned by the part of him that felt that his mother could not be wrong. She was his mother!
>Grabbing his bag he pushed past the other students to get into the station. He hated the smell of muggles. This place was swimming in them. He was raised in a pureblood home, there was no way that he was going to like muggles or muggle borns, but he did not hate them as much as his parents would have liked.

Walther Dalzhat: First Year

Walter walked up to Platforms 9 and 10 , he wasn't exactly nervous but rather lonesome. His parents had been too busy to actually walk with him, they had dropped him off, and then left. As he stood there with Mortimer and the rest of things, he thought he might as well start his Hogwarts career with a bang. So, backing up with his cart, he slowly started to move toward the barrier. As he moved closer he picked up speed until he pulled his feet up and sailed through the barrier onto Platform 9 3/4.

Zane walked up to Platforms Nine and ten all alone due to the fact his parents dropped him off outside.He picked up his trunk and walked to the trolleys and picked one and it was just his luck that it had a broken wheel. He begain to think to himself {I wish my parents would have came. You would think they would want to see there only son off...}Pushing his trolley he stopped right before the barrier took one deep breath and ran threw it.

Once again, Cathryn ran straight through the brick wall, her luggage cart pushed in front of her. Her owl, Rowena hooted in surprise as the wall dissolved around her. Cathryn's cat, mother, and father trailed after...

spaceDahlia arrived at King's Cross, son in tow, at around seven thirty. They were a tad early for the departure, but arriving early ensured that he would be able to get a good seat on the train. She looked around, pleased to see that it wasn't very crowded. There was a large number of muggles, all of them giving the pair odd looks, but she could care less as to what they thought. She headed towards the barrier between the two platforms, and nodded to it. "Damien, go on."

spaceDamien glanced to his mother, his eyes wide and nervous. He shook his head. Edgeworths didn't get nervous; they were always cool, always confident, always in control. He wanted to make a run for the barrier, get it over quick, but he couldn't give any indication that he was nervous. So, he took a deep breath and forced himself to walk towards it, calmly and carefully, his every step measured.

spaceDahlia followed after her son, walking through the barrier to Platform 9 & 3/4.

Diana Knightingale
First Year

It wasn't fear, nor nerves that knotted Diana's stomach. It was just that the barrier looked a touch too real. The bricks, even the cement holding it together, seems to strong and solid.

"Want to run it together, dearest one?" her father inquired, looking up into his reassuring face provide some comfort. Considering that he had not spatted against the wall during his many years it must have counted for something.

She nodded.

Taking hold of the trolley rail, Diana could feel the comfort of her father's presence. A deep breath and suddenly she was moving forward, first walking than running. The wall neared, closer and closer. Then was gone.  

[Porcelaine Ivory]

Tristain stormed through the crowds of people as if she could have cared less whether or not they were there, her eyes on the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 the entire way.

She had taken her sweet time getting there, and she knew her brother would be waiting—worried, as always. Colton had spent a majority of the summer away with Ronyo, and it hadn't been until just a couple weeks ago that Tristain had found out the unfortunate news regarding the murder of his girlfriend's family. She wanted so badly to be able to comfort Phi, but from what she heard, her fellow Ravenclaw was not even in the same country right now.

With all that was going on, Tristain had managed to get her father to simply drop her off in front of the station, and being that he was a muggle, she didn't have to argue long. She had promised to meet up with Colton as soon as she got to Platform 9 and 3/4, and that was exactly what she was on her way to do.

Without hesitating, she strolled right up to the barrier at a brisk jog, a smile on her face as the travel through space tickled her pale skin.

Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind."

Victoria Wurfel
First Year

"Did you just see that?" squeaked her sister. Victoria didn't reply she was too busy gaping. Seeing the first family charge a solid brick wall and not clatter to the ground could pass as a trick of the light, but two was just...

"This is apparently the entrance," he father said in what sounded like a slight awed voice."Ingenious really, not only is it accessible to...um, wizarding types, but also to us. It's a convenient for all really."

Victoria and Rae both gave him disbelieving look before turning back to look at towards the seemingly solid platform wall. Victoria almost couldn't bring herself to believe it wasn't solid, almost couldn't believe it. A small part of her could and did, especially when she thought back to the archway that had appeared behind a dumpy looking pub in the middle of London. An archway into another world, just like the wall in front of her. Only now she had a different worry.

What if it only worked for true witches and wizards? What if she didn't have magic enough to get through? Would she run into a solid wall, utterly humiliated or would she blasted back by some magical force to remind her of her place? She began worry the inside of her mouth, she could feel her hand tighten painfully on the handle of her trolley cart. Then suddenly another pair of hands joined hers. For a moment she thought her sister was going to steer her away. Opening her mouth to speak, she found that she wasn't quite sure she didn't want to just walk away. Especially since she didn't want to be rejected. Not after all she had seen, but the nagging voice had start on the annoying and stomach knotting question. Asking over and over again, What if I'm not a witch? What if I'm not a witch?

"On the count of 3," her sister whispered. Victoria gave her a startled and panicked look, only to see a set and determined one stare back at her.

"What? You think you're going to squat out now? Oh no! Wurfels never take a gamble they can win and you've been reading up on all that rubbish all summer. You are ready!"

Feeling a gentle and firm grip on her shoulder, Victoria turned to look up into her father's face, "We know you're ready. Go and make us pride, Victoria."

With that he gave her forehead a kiss and then stepped back. Victoria feeling a bit numb, but with a grow sense of excitement turned to look at her sister who nodded.

"1..."
"... 2..."
"3!"
They charged the barrier. Running as fast as she thought allowed, Victoria watched the wall loom closer and closer. She took in a sudden gasp of air when her sister let go of the handle to fall away, but before she turn around to see where her sister was. The platform was gone.
