[b]Estelle & Orion | Kings Cross[/b]

To say their parents were excited in having to drive them up to the train station was an understatement. As soon as the twins had unloaded their luggage from the back of the van and placed them on carts, their parents drove away without so much as a wave or a goodbye. Estelle blinked, trying to hold her tears at bay. She felt a hand slip into her own and glanced up at her twin, who gave her a reassuring smile in return. [color=lime]"They...They just need to get used to the idea. You'll see, they'll come around."[/color] Estelle nodded, both secretly knowing that no matter how much time they had, their parents simply refused to acknowledge them now because they were going to a school of magic. With one last look in the direction their parents drove of in, the twins turned and began pushing their trollies up and down the station, searching for platform 9 3/4. However, no matter how much they looked they failed to find what they were looking for. Luckily they heard an elderly woman talking about the platform with her grandson. 

Orion bravely walked up to her and she was nice enough to show them the pillar. The twins gave each other uneasy looks at the prospect of walking [I]through[/I] what appeared to he a solid surface, even if the lady had demonstrated by walking through it. Taking a deep breath, Estelle remembered the woman's tip on a running start and sped towards the wall. She fought against the urge to squeeze her eyes shut and before she could blink she stood on the other side of the wall staring at a gleaming red steam engine. She stood there in stunned disbelief as Orion joined her.

After staring for a bit, the twins followed the other children's example and loaded their luggage onto the train and stepped aboard with their pets. It seemed the train was relatively empty, Estelle only finding four boys sharing a compartment. She peeked through the window, blue eyes bright with curiosity and long blonde hair falling about her form past her waist. Her twin peered over her shoulder and upon seeing that the compartment was full, tugged Estelle into the compartment across from the four boys. The siblings sat down and let their pets out from their carriers. Salem curled up in Estelle's lap while Titania perched on Orion's lap so she could look out the window and chattered softly to her owner.
