[LOG] King's Cross Station, Platform 9 3/4
Sep. 5th, 2007 01:49 pmWho: This log is open to everyone~
Where: King's Cross Station, as the girls are boarding the Hogwarts Express
When: Sept. 4
What: A running log that everyone can participate in, taking place on Platform 9 3/4 (and possibly continuing onto the train) as the girls leave for Hogwarts and their seventh year.
Note: I know that Kahvi doesn't know the Snogs girls yet, but if you'd still like to post a bit about her getting on the train and/or seeing our girls, you're totally welcome to! We want to include everyone if possible~ Everyone should feel free to hop into the log anywhere, and we expect it to take a while so no worries about being late!
Alison and Ora had stopped back by the twins' shop after their brief discussion over tea; Fred and George had been happy to provide them with an entire box of Extendable Ears, along with a number of other things that might come in handy over the course of the term. They'd also been happy to promise to try and extend the range of the listening devices, so that the girls could spy on Professor Snape, as well as the Carrows and anyone else that need might dictate, as easily as possible.
As soon as the girls were stocked with as much extra weight as their trunks could hold, the twins had closed the shop for the next few hours and the four of them set off for King's Cross Station. Though she was a bit reluctant to return to Hogwarts given the incredible number of changes that had taken place in just the past few months, Alison was also more than little excited - she was glad that she'd be able to see her friends again and spend another year together with them before they all finally graduated and (You-Know-Who's regime notwithstanding) went their separate ways. There was so much uncertainty in the air about the future, though, that she figured it was best just to enjoy the present, for now, and deal with whatever came when it appeared.
The trip through Muggle London was refreshing - though things were decidedly a little less bright than normal, it was a welcome change in atmosphere from what had become of Diagon Alley, or even the tense air that had surrounded the Burrow as of late. They grabbed trolleys as they entered the station, piling their trunks and animal cages on them to make the trip to Platform 9 3/4 easier. As they stepped out of the magical barrier separating the Muggle platforms from the Wizarding ones, they were nearly swept away in the throng of students and parents crowding the platform. Alison scanned the crowd for her other friends, but there were so many people that it was hard to find them in the sea of heads lining the platform.
