AUTHOR’S POV
“Say good luck to your sister.” With teary eyes, Krystal shook her head, “Unnie please don’t go…”
Jessica smiled sadly at the view, she actually didn’t wanna go but enrolling at Hogwarts had been her dream since she was young. And now she had the chance for it, she wouldn’t want to be late.
She patted her younger sister with her little finger raised up, “Don’t cry, I promise you many, many, jelly beans when I come home.”
Mrs. Jung smiled at the promise her eldest daughter gave to the younger one, she gently pulled Krystal from holding her sister, it was about time.
“I want chocolates!!” The little girl shouts as she got pulled away from her older sister, “What character do you want to have?”
“…I can choose the character?” Jessica smiled at the question, as expected her younger sister was still so innocent.
“Of course no, but I will buy as much as I can hold and find the cards you want. I can exchange with the other students too so I can get you the wizard card you want.” Jessica winked at her younger sister, tried to be promising.
“I want… Severus Snape, Unnie.” Krystal said it with a dreamy stare.
She was confused actually, there were so many great wizards, but why Snape? Yes he was a great wizard, and nice too, but he was a Slytherin…ah no time for this.
“As you wish, little princess. Wait for me to come back?” From the corner of her eyes, she could see a boy had ran through platform 9 3/4 making the excitement in her blood rushed again, she just wanted to go there and meeting the other wizards.
“Always.” The little girl rushed to hug her older sister then slightly pushed her to the platform, she whispered, “Good luck, Unnie…”
Jessica smiled then turned around to see her Mom, Mrs. Jung, the woman was trying her best not to cry, she sniffled once then waved to her daughter, “Take care.”
“Bye, Mom, love you!” Then with a full speed, Jessica ran to the platform of her dream, platform 9 3/4.

“Excuse me, oops, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” A petite girl slipped through the crowd, trying to get into the Flourish & Blotts, unfortunately the crowd didn’t seem to be kind enough to let her.
“Uh, excuse me…” Once again, the petite girl tried to get the attention from the people. She cursed her own height, but then it wasn’t Taeyeon if she didn’t have ideas.
“OH LOOK! MR POTTER IS THERE!” The crowd gone wild to the opposite direction as Taeyeon took the chance to get in. She tripped over the steps but a hand held hers, “Watch out, prankster.”
“Hehe…Oh! T-thank you!” A smile was given to her, so warm Taeyeon could take off her coat and she would still feel warm, “You’re welcome.”
Then the girl left to Madam Malkin’s with two men holding her belongings tailing her.
“Whoa, she must be rich since she has people to hold her books. Oh right, what should I do again? Oh right, books, books… Excuse me…” The petite girl ordered her books for her first year.

Three person family was walking into the Magical Menagerie, while one was excited, the Father was worried and the older girl seemed bored.
As soon as noisy sounds and bad odor filled their senses, the older girl grumped, “Urrgh…” The younger girl pouted but soon she walked in excitement while holding her long listed paper.
“Good afternoon, Madam. Is this where I can buy a pet for myself?” The old woman, despite her smelly long coat, greeted her as warm as the young girl did.
“You’re in the right place, young lady. How can I help you?” The young girl smiled blindingly then quickly checked her list, “Professor Mcgonagall wrote here that I can get a pet according to my favor, but I don’t know which pet is good for me, can I have a suggestion, please?”
The only man there coughed a bit then whispered, “Please give my daughter a cute, nice, not biting of course, and umm.. not smelly pet, she’s still new with all of these.”
The old woman adjusted her glasses then nodded, “Alright, what about an owl?”
“Owl…?” It wasn’t the first time she got a customer with this kind of attitude, being confused about everything since it was their first time, but this girl gave a different vibe, but the old woman shook it off.
“Yes, an owl, a girl, around your height, just got its friend. She seemed to be lonely now.” Pointing to a small owl which just standing beautifully, ignoring her surrounding.
“Still a baby, interbreed by Rubeus Hagrid not too long ago, a beauty actually.” The owl had piercing eyes, its eyes were sharp unlike the common owl’s, but it was still beautiful, her sharp stare made her even more elegant.
“Is it safe?”
“It’s an owl, sir.” The old woman turned around to suggest another pet, “If your Dad is worried, so, let me suggest… Uh, a cat? This Persian cat? A little spoiled, but it’s nice, you can rub its ear and…”
“I want this owl.” Tiffany was now reaching out her fingers to the owl, the owl had no response but staring at Tiffany, fiercely.
“Honey, step back, it seems angry.” Mr. Hwang tried to warn her daughter but Tiffany didn’t even pull her finger back.
“Are you sure?” The old woman let the baby owl and the first year student to stare at each other, interaction was needed to know which pet suit you.
The young girl didn’t blink when she stared at the beautiful young owl, the owl stared at Tiffany as if testing the girl’s gut, and Tiffany had it.
The owl nodded and peck Tiffany’s finger gently with her, still fragile, buck, then it stood elegantly, back into its previous position.
“It’s mine.”
“Yes, it’s yours. 20 Galleons and 3 Sickles, sir.” The old woman took a cleaner cage for Tiffany and her new pet, “And you, young girl, what are you gonna name your new pet?”
“Belle, from Belleza Oculta…” The owl turned its head at the mention of the name, “Oh she seems to like it. Alright, take a good care of Belle, Miss.”
Tiffany smiled then bowed politely to the old woman, the old woman just smiled then counted the money Mr. Hwang, in difficulty, counted and gave to her.
“Are you sure that owl doesn’t bite?” Tiffany ignored her older sister who just shrugged it and got busy with her group chat on her phone.
