Ryland wouldn't have admitted this to anyone, but she was kind of scared. Not only did she manage to lose her twin sister somewhere around here, but this was a totally new enviornment, complete with people she didn't know at all! This was like starting primary school again, except everyone was older and they could probably kill you with one zap of their wand. The books in her pink suitcase felt like they weighed about three gazillion pounds, and the brunette took a quick rest before continuing along.

Where was her sister? They were like inseperable, and it was kind of making the eleven year old uncomfortable to not be near the other half of their twinship. Okay, so Jay might have rolled her eyes at the term "other half" or "twinship". She didn't understand the Ryland brain however, and in the Ryland brain, these were legitimate words. Legitimate words that should be used as often as possible.

A small groan escaped her lips as she looked around again, her blue eyes searching the crowd. Even though she had managed to be a few inches taller than her classmates (thank you genetics) everyone around her was way older and knew what to do way more. There were people..... running? Was Jay behind all of the running people?

.......................................

Oh. My. Word. Were these people just running at the wall? And not getting hurt? Magic was so cool! And so scary. Like what if it didn't work for her. That was a brick wall and if she was at Hogwarts, her parents were not going to be able to fix the broken nose she would get from missing! What was the trick behind this? Did you have to say something? Believe, Pixie Dust? Clap your hands to bring Tinkerbell back to life? Somehow, the first year felt like reading the old fairy tales was not going to help her.

A thought burned in her head, and she scoffed as the brunette realized what had happened. Jay, being completely oblivious to how IMPORTANT this was, finished before Ryland was out of the shower. Mom must've driven her to the platform so she wouldn't be late, and since her lovely twin sister actually had a sense of fashion, she was driven by dad, Jay must've gone in without her! She was actually a little offended by this piece of information, even though she knew she was going to be spending all of their time at Hogwarts together. If there was one person she wanted to run through a brick wall with, it was definitely her twin sister! That's what twins did!

Now wanting to catch up with the other Crowlin as fast as possible, Ryland picked up her bags and walked towards the wall, stopping where she saw others stopped. She might not understand completely what was happening, but she could pretend and hope it sorted itself out. That's what she did when Becky and Chrissy fought through like all of third grade. They eventually made up and she got to keep both friends. It was like her life's plan, just step back and let it sort itself. However, it was now her turn. The action was up to her. Ryland was in charge of what was happening. Her heart was beating pretty fast.

1....2.....3

Gripping the handle on her suitcase tighter, she closed her eyes and ran for the wall, terrified she was going to hit it and fall. Half of London was probably at this train station, and she didn't want to crash and burn with her little pink suitcase in front of everyone. Slowly opening her eyes and slowing down, she realized she made it to the other side after all. Good. Now she just had to find Jay and stop her heart from exploding.
