'Now, James. Promise to be a good boy and don't get into too much trouble,' said Charles Potter. He looked very stern, but there was pride in his eyes.

'Now, now dear. He's just starting school, so don't be so harsh,' complained Dorea Potter.

'It's fine, Mum. If he chooses to be strict and earn my displeasure, it will be his own loss,' said James Potter, fake crying overdramatically.

'We'll miss you dear,' said Dorea, tears in her eyes. 'Remember to write if you need anything and…'

'There, there. He won't die. We managed to survive it…well, just about,' said Charles reminiscently, 'he'll be fine.' Ruffling up James' hair.

'Can I go now?'

'Do you understand?' barked a loud voice.

'Yes, father. I will not put a bad reputation on the noble name of Black. I will be a pure blooded, honourable wizard. I will regard Muggl…Mudbloods as scum and I will not communicate with them,' droned the bored voice of Sirius Black. He figured out that agreeing with his father would be the easiest way to actually catch the train before it left.

'Good. Bye,' Sirius' father turned sharply and left him alone on platform 9 ¾.

'The bastard,' muttered Sirius.

'Lily, remember to work hard and earn respect. I know you can do it…' said Lily's mother, handing over the trunks.

'We'll always be proud of you…' muttered Lily's dad, sniffing slightly.

'Remember to write if you need anything, and…'

'Can we go now?' said Petunia. 'It's getting cold, and I want to visit…'

'Don't you care that you won't be able to see Lily till Christmas?' announced Lily's mum.

'The longer, the better,' replied Petunia, shortly.

'Petunia, why are you so inconsiderate? You are being so rude. Think how Lily must feel, going into a new school were she knows no one and a school which studies something that she didn't know about since a fortnight ago,' demanded Lily's father. Lily had always been his favourite, with her caring nature and happy disposition.

'We've got 5 minutes till the train goes, Mum,' said a small voice.

Review to tell me if I should carry on or not, caus I don't know if I should ;)
