Platform 9 3/4

Kings Cross in London, a place where hundreds of muggles get around the country by using the trains as transport. What these normal people don't realise is, that hundreds of young witches and wizards use the same method to get to their mystical school. Young girls and boys mysteriously disappearing through the barrier that separates platforms 9 and 10 is an annual occcurence on 1st September. Once through the portal, there lies the scarlet steam-engine; The Hogwarts Express. The train takes 11-17 year olds up to Hogwarts and brings them back with a bit more information in their previously empty heads. But be sure to get there before 11 o'clock, 'else the train might leave with a few empty seats and children have to make their own way to Hogwarts School, much to the disapproval of Professor McGonagell.
