[ WP ] [ EU ] The Wizarding World is actually a real thing , and the Harry Potter books were written as a tool to make people aware without mass exposure . You discover this truth one day by tripping and tumbling through a barrier at King 's Cross that you could have swore was solid ...

`` Nope.'' I said looking around the platform. Being an American visiting in London everything was magical and new to me. Unfortunately I struggle with what some call, no sense of direction. I look back down at the map and sigh. This map Haley, my friend who has been in London on many accounts, had drawn for me was of no help. The fact that she made it so simple so easy to follow and I still could n't understand sent a wave of embarrassment and shame over me as my eyes followed the black line across the page. I looked around another time hoping to take in the right information. This time when I look back down at the map I realize I must be rather close I had just seen a nine above me and now I see an eight on the map. Relief filled me as I discovered I was not completely useless. Oh no, in my intense study of the map I forgot to watch where I was going scathing by a rather burley woman sent me stumbling. I throw my hands up in front of me hoping to ease my impact with the brick barrier. I close my eyes, I hit the ground hard. A little confused I look up expecting to be further from the barrier than I had expected but it's gone, everything's different. The setting seems familiar but not in the way I had imagined. The platform was buzzing with excitement and parents bidding the children farewell. I had read the Harry Potter books, I mean Haley and I bonded over them and that's the whole reason why she had visited London in the first place. `` Impossible.'' I whisper under my breath as I look around at this completely different world and directly in to the beautiful steam engine bearing the Hogwarts symbol. All was as I had been described. I would not have thought it real if I had not felt the scraps on my hands myself. JK Rolling had let us in on a whole different world one right in front of us. I guess she was right in saying muggles only notice what we want to. 
 
 This is my first time writing. I hope you enjoy it.
