"9... 9... 9..." Joe and Harry walked together where Harry brought his luggage in a trolley.
"Now that I'm seeing you, Joe. Where is your luggage?" Harry asked as they went.
"Oh, Derby bringing it with him. He insisted on carrying it for me. He should already be in Hogwarts." Joe answered but still checking his ticket with the platform numbers.
"Come boys, This placed is always packed with Muggles all year. Come on. No need to look around." A sissy voice rang through both Joe and Harry's ears.
"Muggles?" Harry who seemed to have heard the term, quickly connected the relationship between that group of people with the Wizarding World.
"What are you standing there for? Let's catch up to them." Joe pat Harry on the shoulder and went chasing after them. Just a few steps forward, and Joe saw someone walked right in between the wall of the platform easily.
The sight alone got him excited as he saw more boys entering in. 'Damn... No wonder it looks scary.' Joe said in his heart.
"Come on, Fred." The lady called to her sons to enter one by one.
"Excuse me... Umm... Do we go straight in?" Joe asked and pretend to be surprised. "Oh, you must be Mrs. Weasley." He exclaimed quite loudly.
"Oh, dear. Are you two also Hogwarts new students? Come here, let's go to the platform first." She felt flattered when someone knew her.
"Right, I'm sorry. I might have been too rude." Joe acted embarrassingly.
"Oh no... no... Come... This is also Ron's first time going to Hogwarts." Mrs. Weasley said introducing her son. She then has them entered the platform in a hurry in case they were being late.
"Listen, all you have to do just walked straight to the wall between platforms 9 and 10. We will talk inside." She said encouraging Joe to go first.
"Then I'm going first." Joe turned to Harry to remove his nervousness. He walked slowly to the wall and not stopping one bit. As the time he got closer to the wall, he unconsciously closed his eyes and the wall that was supposed to block him was non-existent. This was as if his sense of distance was wrong.
Joe then opened his eyes and saw the bustling train platform filled with various Wizard and Witch around him. While mesmerized by the scene, he turned and saw a train standing on the railing, ready to go.
Not long after that, he felt a presence appearing behind him.
[Learning 'Presence Detection']
The notification that popped up made Joe speechless.
"This is amazing." Harry smiling stiffly like a kid who just arrived in a new entertainment park.
"Hello..." Ron Weasley entered shortly, followed by his mother and his sister, Ginny Weasley that Joe knew from the movie. But when seeing her in real life, she looked a bit different.
Joe didn't know what to say, but Ginny looked like a cute little girl.
"Ah, Mrs. Weasley. I'm sorry for suddenly barged into your conversation like that just now. I'm Joe, Joe White. Nice to meet you.
"I have to say, your husband's work was fascinating. His story about Muggles was the one that made me able to survive in the Muggle world. I also follow the story of your first-born son, Bill Weasley. One of the top graduates of Hogwarts that now working in Egypt. I admire his living dream very much." Joe continued speaking like a heavy fan of the family. This even overwhelmed Molly Weasley, Ron's mother to smiling forcefully.
Just when they are speaking, suddenly the horn of the train rang loudly through their ears. "Board in!" The staffs of the train called.
"Let's go, dear... Board the train." Molly looked at the train that producing tons of smoke coming from the train's pipe.
"I will let you meet my husband later, alright?" Molly turned back to Joe who nodded at her and followed Ron and Harry.
