The bustling crowds swarmed around you as you searched for Platform 9 3/4. According to the ticket clutched in your hand, this was the departure point for the mysterious Neko Express.
Most people gave you odd looks when you asked for directions to the platform. A few even laughed, insisting there was no such thing. But after hiking your pack higher on your shoulders, you spotted a young girl in a blue coat peeking at a ticket of her own.
You hurried to catch up with her, calling out
"Excuse me! Do you know where Platform 9 3/4 is?"
The girl grinned at you knowingly.
"First time riding the Neko Express? Just walk straight at the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. If you have a valid ticket, you'll get through."
You frowned but had come too far to back out now. Walking purposefully toward the barrier, you steeled your nerves waiting to collide with the pillar. But a sudden warmth spread over your body, and when you opened your eyes, you were standing on a hidden platform billowing with steam.
*An old-fashioned train stood waiting,
"Neko Express"
emblazoned on its side.*
catgirls in Hogwarts robes rushed around, ushering the assembled passengers onto the train.
