Part 1 - Nymphadora's point of View
I'm in the car to the station. We're so far now from home.
My name is Nymphadora. A magic name for a magic new Hogwarts student...Today is the first of school. I already miss my friends.
Me:'Beautbatons… where are you?!' I whispered to myself.
Dad: What did you say?
Me: Rien (= Nothing).
Dad: Come on Sweetie, tell me. What's wrong?
Me: I'm fine.
Dad: I can tell you're not. Your hairs have turned light grey...
Me: Ok, Beaubatons me manque (= I miss Beaubatons)
I'm kind of scared. I don't know anyone. And no one knows me. I moved with my Dad in England because my parents divorced last year. It was so hard to leave all I got behind...
I have received my new letter from my new magical school, Hogwarts, few days ago. And now, I'm on my way to King Cross station, where I'm supposed to get the train to Hogwarts. I worked hard on my English during last summer; I hope everyone will be welcoming with me. I only wish I could have my friends by my side.
Dad: We're here!
Me: Déjà? (=Already?)
Dad: Yes, come on. Get your trunk. And remember speak English.
Me: D'accord. (=Alright) *smile*
Dad just smiled at me. He looked at my hairs which were now deep black, with violet reflections in it.
Dad: Don't be scared.
Me: I'm not.
Dad: Sure...
Me: Don't start!
Dad: Don't snap!
I just rolled my eyes and started walking to the entrance… Oh well, it’s such a maze! I looked at my ticket: “Platform 9 ¾ “. It starts well…
Me: Dad, how do you think we can get to the platform?
Dad: Well, it must be write somewhere… on… your… ticket… he said while turning the ticket over and over.
Me: Obviously there’s nothing on it. Maybe we should ask someone.
Dad: Good idea. Hurry up; it’s almost 11:00.
I saw some people with luggages with them so I decided to walk toward them and ask:” Excuse me, do you know where is platform 9 ¾?
They just stared at me like I was mental or something…
Me: Okay, never mind…. Thanks anyway.
I grabbed my Dad’s arm and I just lead him to nowhere in particular. I was just trying to avoid the people I asked looks. – Those Muggles…
It’s 10:55 now. Okay, it seems that I gonna be late on my first day. That sounds like fun is going on…
Me: Dad, I think we won’t find this bloody platform in time.
Dad: You speak too fast Sweetie.
Me: Why?
Dad: Look over there.
Me: Where?
Dad: There… he said on an annoy ton.
There, I saw few people running into a wall. Not just a wall: the wall between platforms 9 and 10. They seem to be in a hurry…
Me: I guess I just have to follow them then.
I look up at the clock: 10:58.
Me: DAD!! I’M LATE!!!!
So, we start to run toward the wall and I just stopped before going through it. I turn to face my Dad…
Me: Dad, it’s time to go for me. I’ll see you maybe at Christmas.
Dad: Oh My… My little one…
And he gives me a warm hug.
Dad: Good luck and take care of you. I’ll miss you. If you have ANY problem, don’t hesitate to send an owl or even if you get ….
Me: Dad, everything will be okay don’t worry.
I turn back to the wall and run through it
This was the last time I saw my dad in a long time… and I don’t know if thing will go as okay as I hoped….
