Cresswell HP AU fic
Cress still couldn't believe that she was a witch. That she had magical abilities. Although Cress had always known that she wasn't completely normal, she would have never thought that she was a witch! She could still not comprehend the fact that she was going to go to a wizarding school!
It was called Hogwarts, and even though Cress still couldn't comprehend it, there she was at King's Cross. She was looking for platform 9 ¾ all by herself. There she was, standing between platform 9 and 10. However there was no platform 9 ¾, it simply did not exist!
Standing there with her cat -a cat as white as snow, she had decided to call it Snowball- she felt really stupid. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder, she jumped at the touch of the stranger. "Are you going to Hogwarts?" the stranger -a boy around her age- asked her and discreetly jerked his head at her baggage and then at the brick wall in front of them.
"Yes," she told him and nodded eagerly.
"I saw you standing here and you looked very confused. I'll help you through," he pointed at the brick wall when he said through, what did he mean with through?
"Thank you, but I don't understand. Help me through where?" she asked him, and looked at him with a confused look.
"Through the wall, you silly girl!" he giggled as if it was perfectly normal to go through walls.
"I'll show you," he started walking backwards with his baggage cart, almost like he was going to run into the wall.
"Gather up speed, and then run through," the boy said loudly, but everyone around them were too busy to notice the boy running towards the brick wall. She closed her eyes and waited for the sound of his baggage cart crashing into the wall, but it never came. Cress opened her eyes in astonishment, the boy was gone. Had he really gone through the wall? Cress decided there was only one way to find out, worst case scenario was that she got a couple of weird looks and some bruises. She started walking backwards, and then she began running, gathering up speed exactly as the boy had done. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact of the crash. She waited, but it didn't come. Cress quickly opened her eyes, in front of her was the boy. He reached his hand out towards her, she realized after an awkward moment that he wanted to introduce himself, she shook his hand.
"Thorne," he said before continuing. "Carswell Thorne, but please call me Thorne". He held onto her hand, she blushed when she understood that he was expecting her to introduce herself.
"I'm Crescent Moon Darnel, but people call me Cress," Cress told Thorne.
"We should probably go now," he said and pointed at the train.
"Yeah," she agreed. They boarded the Hogwarts express together. On their way to Hogwarts, she told him about her childhood and her abusive adoptive mother. He told her all about the wizarding world and about his family. His family was purebloods apparently his family didn't particularly like people like her -muggleborns-, but Thorne said he didn't really care about that stuff. He told her about all the different houses, he also told her that it was his first year at Hogwarts too. They hoped that they would get sorted into the same house.
Author's note: Hello! This fanfiction is a Harry Potter alternate universe fanfiction so the characters of The Lunar Chronicles are attending Hogwarts, there will be no Harry Potter characters in this fanfic. Also I started this fic 4 years ago over on fanfiction.net under the same name, but since I'm nearing the end I figured it was time to post it here too. I hope you enjoy it(keep in my the first few chapters are a bit old, so my writing is the best, like I should have shown that Sybil was abusive not flat out say it lol)
