It was early in the morning and around 8 o'clock when Adena Garwin awoke from her slumber. She looked around and spotted the clock. Her eyes widened and she squeaked before she shot up and grabbed her muggle clothes which consisted of a pair of tight, low-riding jeans and a black t-shirt with a pair of red lips on the front from the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie. She grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra, both black, and ran towards the bathroom down the hall. She noticed that her parents were already awake as she ran by their bedroom and saw that the door was open. She rushed into the bathroom and shut and locked the door before turning on the shower and setting down her clothes on the bathroom toilet, lid down. She pulled her ratty hair tie from her long, brown hair and threw it on the other side of the sink before jumping into the shower. She quickly began to wash herself and hair as well as shave her legs. She knew she would get into that uniform skirt when she got to Hogwarts, or at least on the express. She quickly washed the shampoo from her hair and the soap from her body before she got out of the shower and dried herself off. She sighed a bit before looking herself over in the mirror.

Quickly, Adena dried her hair and body and got dressed and made sure the blow-dry her hair. She brushed her teeth rather quickly after getting her hair the way she wanted it and applied a small bit of make up, but not too much. She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded before running from the bathroom and into her own room. She quickly packed all of her last minute items and a small knapsack with everything that she would need on the train ride there and then nodded, standing her trunk up. When she looked at the clock it was around 9 o'clock. Adena sighed and put her wand with her knapsack before walking out of her room and down the stairs into the kitchen. Her father was chuckling at the kitchen table while taking a bite of toast while her mother, who was looking quite flustered, was shaking her head. Adena raised an eyebrow, but decided that it was best not to ask what was going on. It wasn't any of her business anyway. She sat down at the table and smiled at her mom and dad before her mother served her breakfast. It was a nice omelet with onions, green peppers, and some ham with some bacon and a nice side of toast. It was Adena's favorite.

Soon enough the small family was off towards King's Cross Station and Adena was eagerly waiting in the car to get there. She was so excited to be heading back to Hogwarts she could barely stand it. It was just wonderful and she couldn't wait. All of her friends were there as well as a few people who didn't like her, but Adena would live with that. As soon as the Garwin family arrived at the train station, Adena picked up a cart and her father loaded up her trunk and owl onto it as Adena held on to her knapsack as it draped over her shoulder. She sighed and the trio walked off towards the platform. Of course, the first time they went, Adena was confused until she saw another family go through the wall between platform nine and ten. She smiled happily when they reached it and looked around before rushing in through the "brick wall". A smile lit up Adena's face before she turned and kissed both of her parents good bye. They both needed to leave for work so Adena was alone at Platform 9 3/4 for about an hour and a half seeing as it was nine-thirty when she got there. "Oh Hogwarts Express, how I've missed you," she murmured as she gazed at the train.
