With her things on a trolley, Ariel navigated the way to Platforms 9 and 10, leading her father along. She slowed and stopped almost subconsciously, about ten feet away from the barrier between the two platforms. A small, airy laugh escaped her before her throat closed with the feeling her heart had jumped up in there.

"...Are you sure about this?" Mr. Abrams asked his daughter, his words slow with uncertainty.

Ariel turned her gaze to her father. A nervous smile was etched on her face, the ghost of the laugh from moments ago. "That's what they said." That's what all the books said. You got to Hogwarts via the Hogwarts Express, a train that ran out of Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London. You got onto the platform by running at a wall. The wall they were both staring at.

However, Ariel was in such disbelief that such things were even possible that she couldn't bring herself to try it. She was much more comfortable standing in the Muggle part of the station. Her father, knowing he knew nothing, simply stood with her, waiting for her move.
