Mary was so nervous. She had never seen the Wizarding World until a few days ago, and it was amazing. She had heard about it from her siblings, but her wizarding dad had been too far away to take her or her siblings into Diagon Alley until they got their Hogwarts letters.

She was wearing her full Hogwarts uniform, other than the robes and hat, holding her trunk and a cat basket. The young Siamese Cat was sleeping as she walked into the wall and found herself on Platform 9 and 3/4, but woke up to the sounds and smells of the gleaming scarlet train. She stroked the cat gently as she pulled out her robe, hat and a book, then put the trunk into the luggage compartment.
