Lily's POV

Finally, my first year at Hogwarts. I've always wanted to go to Hogwarts, ever since I watched James, Albus and everyone else go onto the express. I was often very sad because I could not travel along side James, Albus nor anyone else to go to Hogwarts. But today was my day, my very first day. I was tired of attending a boring muggle primary school. To Hogwarts I go! Hopefully I'll become a Gryffindor like father and mother were. I had counted down the days every since James went to go on his first year.

It was 10:53am and we were almost at the Platform. Father was holding my hand while my other hand was occupied with my cart buggy with Eloise in the buggy as well. She was a blue purebred British Longhair kitten. James, mother and Albus were a little bit behind me and father. I was smiling the whole time, though the thought of being late was a bit scary since it was highly looked down upon that you do not miss your classes. Albus was holding Bubba, the brown toad, in his jacket pocket; while Smoky, James' dark gray owl, was in James' cart buggy.

"Hurry up everybody, it's 7 minutes until 11." Father yelled as we continued running. We finally got to the barrier between Platform 9 and 10. It was 10:55am and everyone was beginning to board the Hogwarts Express. The smile hasn't left my face since we got to the train station.

"Well this is it. Lily I hope Hogwarts will be fun." Mother said as she began hugging all of us.

"Mom can we just go?" James asked as Mother wouldn't let go of him. He escaped the bear hug and board the express.

"Bye mother, bye father." I said with a smile on my face. I gave father a huge hug and board the train with my luggage as well.

I walked onto the Hogwarts Express with excitement on my face. The express was exactly how I pictured it. I wanted to take my own compartment to myself, but because of James being over protective I was forced into a compartment with him, Lorcan, Lysander and another guy I didn't know.

"Can I go sit with Rose? Or anyone else?" I asked James.

"Fine, if you must. Be careful." James replied in a sigh. I walked out with my luggage and Eloise and found Rose easily. She was sitting alone in another compartment that was about 5 down from James.

Typical Rose was already wearing a school robe with her school uniform as well. She was also wearing her Gryffindor tie with a Gryffindor scarf. Hopefully I'll be able to wear a Gryffindor tie and scarf as well.

"Hey Lily." Rose exclaimed as she hugged me. I waved back. I was extremely excited to speak.

"Hey Rose. Where's Hugo?" I asked. For 1st cousins, we were pretty close. Like siblings some would say.

"From what it looks like, he had already made friends when we first boarded the express today." Rose inferred with a giggle. Our cousin Dominique then entered our compartment. She was a year 4 student like James. Unlike most of the Weasleys, her hair was straight and natural strawberry blonde. Her eyes were blue unlike Louis or Victorie, which were hazel. She was a little self-conceded and a little bit of a diva as well. You could obviously tell she has some Veela blood in her.

"Hello Rose and Lily. How's the garden today?" Dominique joked. Whenever Rose and I would be together, we were called "the garden". It didn't bother me or Rose.

"The garden is blooming right now. Though the thought of not being a Gryffindor scares me." I replied.

"Don't worry about it. If Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny love you, then it doesn't matter what house you were going to be accepted in." Rose comforted while patting my shoulder. Then Eleanor walked into our compartment as well. She was Lorcan's and Lysander's younger sister. She had her mother's natural platinum blonde hair, with light skin and silvery blue eyes; looking very similar to both Lorcan and Lysander. My family and their family are pretty close. Me and Eleanor attended the same muggle primary school too.

"Eleanor!" I said in excitement. Rose and Dominique waved at her as she sat beside me.

"Hey everybody. What goes on?" Eleanor asked.

"Not much Ellie. How's the family?" Rose answered.

"Good, and yours?"

"We're well."

"Did anyone here the rumors about Voldemort's followers?" Dominique asked. Of course she had to have heard something. I shook my head, along with Rose and Ellie. "Rumor has it that they're trying to bring Voldemort back to life. Scorpius had said so himself." Dominique continued. Rose sighed in disbelief.

"First of all he's a Slytherin. A sneaky, up to no good, lying Slytherin. I couldn't care less of what he had to say about it. Not to mention he's a Malfoy." Rose said angrily. Someone doesn't like Scorpius, from what I presumed anyway.

"I'm just saying, it's a rumor. Never said it was true." Dominique exclaimed after Rose's little rant. Rose sighed again deeply.

"It's impossible to bring someone back to life, or at least so I thought." Eleanor commented.

"How would you know?" Dominique asked in a snob-ish way.

"My grandmother would be alive if it was possible." Eleanor replied. I knew how she felt. My paternal grandparents are late too.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't kn-" Dominique began.

"It's okay." Eleanor interrupted.

"Where would Scorpius find that kind of information?" I asked everyone. Even though I didn't know him, I got pretty curious. Everyone shrugged their shoulder until a guy had opened up our compartment from over hearing our conversation. He had blonde hair, gray eyes and a pointed face.

"My father told me you nosy little mutts." Scorpius replied with a smirk on his face.

"I'd rather be a mutt than a Malfoy. We can't be nosy if you're going around, making stupid little rumors about Voldemort's followers." Rose argued with a smirk. Me and Ellie giggled for a while.

"Well I'd rather be a Malfoy then a Weasley." Scorpius commented back anxiously.

"Wow that one hurt me. Next time come back with a better comeback you nitwit." Rose stated with a smirk once more. Scorpius walked off in anger afterwards.

"What does would his father know about Voldemort?" Eleanor asked.

"Apparently his father was a death eater; a follower of Voldemort from what Scorpius says to his little posse." Dominique answered with uncertainty. I ticked the clock in the compartment. It was 11:00am on the dot. I screamed in excitement while Dominique, Ellie and Rose looked at me like I was crazy. The express began to leave the Platform. I waved goodbye along with my cousins and Ellie to my parents, and uncles and aunts. The first year has only just begun.
