Platform 9 3/4.

The morning the kids have to go to Hogwarts starts early, thanks to the Old Luo coming to WonPil's apartment and making a mess at the door since like 4 am.
WonPil asked Jackil a few hours from work to accompany his children to King's Cross station, wanting to be there to say goodbye properly.
After many considerations and hesitation, he decided to decline the offering to participate to the banquet of that evening, although he was invited to, like all the parents of Shiinden students.

YunFei is in a great hurry, so they simply don't manage to arrive late, no matter how WonZi tries to. The train is at 10:30 in the morning, but they reached the station at 9. At least they had the chance to buy some donuts and Starbucks coffee for breakfast.

At around 9:30, they reach the location where the platform is supposed to be and like everyone else, going there for the first time, there is quite some confusion on how to reach it.
Soon enough, other people join the confusion there, mostly muggle-born students with their muggle parents, all desperately waiting for someone who knows what to do.

Disaster "Alright, keep your secrets...what else should we know about Hogwarts? Any spicy fact? Teachers went through any scandal?
Hm...it must be a very complicated thing. I don't feel like talking about something heavy right now. Just all the ways you boys might die while having to be assigned to a house!"

WonZi sighs and takes what HaoLin hands him. He has only a bite for now. "How long will it take to get there?" He asks in a low tone.

"It would mean I have to instist on pestering you closely, LanLan! Who wants to be alone actually needs a person to comfort him and make him forget the bad things!" She looks at him specifically.

Ziqun «I think that professor Hagrid had a huge killer spider that killed someone.» He nods. «And professor Snape hates students who aren't Slythrin.» Twice more those who can't spell Slytherin.
«I don't know, maybe they'll send us to the chamber of secret and we will have to see if the Sword of Gryfdor will appear.»

HaoLin. He remains near WonZi, while eating some buns. «KiTae said that we will reach school by dinner time. It's still many hours to go, it seems.» He sends a glance to the window.

XinLan. «There are some persons here.» Eventually he rolls his eyes and walks back to their compartments.

Disaster "Professor Hagrid teaches what? He still teaches? Jiko will be his biggest fan.
I bet I won't get on his good side. He sounds strict, even the name.
Just...why should they send us there? I don't think they would name like that a free for all space." She snorts.

WonZi sighs at the answer. "This wait, without nothing to do is killing me..." Because he has nothing to get distracted with.

"You know, we could have stayed there too if you wanted to befriend the boys...well, I guess just eat for now, hopefully we'll get there soon." She follows XinLan back.

Ziqun «He teaches care of magical beasts and will probably show us an hippogryph in our first class. At the third year.»
He shrugs. «It is just an hypotheses, I can't know everything. Not always.» Most of the time, even if just randomly.

HaoLin. «We could watch some videos together, to kill some time.» He takes his phone and also sends a text to TiShan to ask if he woke up.

XinLan. «I won't eat», he says slowly and takes a seat where there is some space, closest possible to Zhao.

Disaster "We won't get to the third year unless you want to study here instead of Shiinden. Overall it is not a bad choice!
You seem to see the future well though." She snorts at KiTae. "Come on, eat too.
LanLan, you are not someone who can skip meals. I say it for your own good." She looks at him.

WonZi nods at the proposal. "It is fine with me...finally we can kill some time. I'm starting to regret I came..." Just because he misses WonPil already. He will stop being a crybaby about it after a few days and as he starts to find some pleasant activity.
