Day 2 of your adventure begins here!

You wake up at Weasly's!  How you got there, you aren't sure, you can't remember a thing after leaving Diagon Alley.  

You hear Mrs. Weasly busy in the kitchen.  It sounds like breakfast and you realize you are hungry.  Ron comes in and tells you to hurry!  Breakfast at Weasly's isn't just as easy as sitting down at the table and being served....oh, no....you have to play an enchanted game and figure out the strategy before you'll get your sausage, eggs, and toast! 

"I'm hungry, so I'd better play!" you think to yourself.

• Reread Chapters 6 and 7 from the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

• Label this day's  entry with "Sunday" and then include today's date. 

• In your Journal for Sunday be sure to use each of the following words at least one time.  You may  "copy" and "paste" them into your document from here.  Please make them orange in your document:  compartment, disgruntled, dud, goggle, prefect, ruddy, turret, blubber, chivalry, cunning, nitwit, toil, and tweak

• Start your Journal for today!  Explain how the game works and the strategy you used to play it and get fed.  Did you play more than once?  What did you do differently the second or third time?  Did your score improve?  Why?  What was your final high score?  (Three tries only!)
• Go back and play the game one last time.  Take a "picture" of your final score and board by pressing the "print screen" button.  This puts a "picture" of whatever is on your screen at the time onto your clipboard.  Paste this "picture" into your Journal as proof that you did, indeed, get "Breakfast at Weasly's."

(Remember this trick to keep track of other games and scores you may earn during your week)

You are going to ride the Tube from Weasley's  (Near Waterloo Station)  to King's Cross Station so that you may board the Hogwart's Express at Platform 9 3/4.  Before you do, however, Harry and Hagrid say goodbye!  You are shocked!  You don't know the way to King's Cross!!  "It's easy,"  Harry reassures you, "just follow the map!"  Harry thrusts a map of the London Underground into your hand and leaves you standing with your bags at Waterloo Station! "I'll see you at King's Cross!"  Both he and Hagrid disappear with barely a "Poof!"

You look up at the front of Waterloo Station.  The map says it was built in 1848.    

The map you are holding  also shows King's Cross Station and tells you it is the  is London's second busiest Underground station, serving 54 million passengers per year!   It is also the Station with  with the most lines (six: Piccadilly, Northern, Victoria, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City). 

•  Figure our how many passengers go through King's Cross Station every day and jot it down for your journal!) 
• Figure out three different ways to get from Waterloo Station to King's Cross by reading the map Harry gave you.  Write your three different routes in your Journal.  Don't forget to mention the name of the line, its color on the map, and the names of stations where you switch from one line to another.  Tell which one you decide to use and why.

Because of your fine map-reading skills, you made it to King's Cross Station all by yourself!  On the way there you were thinking about the names of some of the stations you've been visiting.

King's Cross and Charing Cross!....hmmmmmm.  Charing Cross is where you got off the Tube yesterday near the place where you entered Diagon Alley!  You think to yourself "There is a connection between these two stations other than the obvious, that they are both stations for the Underground!"  

You bring this up as soon as you find Hagrid and Harry on Platform 9.  "Aye," agreed Hagrid, "there is a connection...In 1290, the body of Queen Eleanor (wife of Edward I) was brought from Nottinghamshire for burial in Westminster Abbey. Crosses were placed at each of the body's resting places on the journey. This (King's Cross) was the site of the penultimate (second to the last) cross (the final resting spot for Queen Eleanor on her way to burial was Charing Cross).  Would you like to take a little side trip into the 1200s?  It won't take any time at all, we'll be back in a wink!"

  You know by now how to get back to this page, don't you?  Always press your browser's back button to bring you back to the page (s) you were last viewing.

• Jot a  paragraph in your journal about your little trip to 1290.  Make sure it is  full of many interesting things  you learned about Queen Eleanor and King Edward the First.
• Right click to take "pictures" with you!  You can copy them to your clipboard and paste them into your Journal!

That was pretty interesting!  London is a REALLY old town, isn't it? 

Next you have to figure out how to get to Platform 9 3/4.  Hagrid grins as Harry shoves you right into the pillar!

Suddenly you look around and see that you are indeed on Platform 9 and  3/4!  You look up and see you are  in exactly the right spot!  You line up with the First-Year students.   

Harry is saying Goodbye!  He is telling you that he and Ron are flying the car up to Hogwarts and that you should look out the window of the train just as it leaves the station!  You don't even have time to ask him what he's talking about before he and Hagrid are both  gone.  The line starts to move.  

You can't believe it, you are getting on the train!

• Before going any further, jot in your Journal how you are feeling, who is sitting with you, what you are looking forward to, and what are you nervous about.  Describe the sounds, smells, sights, and people that surround you at this moment.  You remember to look up to watch Harry and Ron fly away as you leave the station!  Click on the link below.
