So this was what it felt like. James Sirius Potter was finally going to Hogwarts, the fabled halls of which held the meany secrets of his dad's adventures and the darkness of the Final Battle. Of course it wasn't a surprise he had been accepted, after all he had managed a windless disarming charm at age 9. It was different altogether to be able to go to school alongside these multitude of children who weren't just kin.

Naturally he had lived a rather sheltered life, being the son of the saviour Potter whom no one could seem to get enough of. In reality he had talked o perhaps a couple people his age or around it and all of them were children of his parents's friends and colleagues. His one true friend was Fred, his uncle George's son who was starting Hogwarts alongside him.

The people at the platform all stood and gaped as their family passed. Here we go again he thought and the look of consternation on his father's face was evident as he very well hated the attention. He could blame himself for anything and everything and this case was no different. Albus was off somewhere with Rosie and Lily and Hugo seemed to be caught up in a discussion of the utmost importance. Uncle Ron's family didn't need yo be here per se but had decided to show up as most of the Weasley clan was here and he would never, as he sweared on many occasions, give up an opportunity to miss a day of work. I saw Louis run up to Al so that meant Vic and Dom had also arrived. Where was Fred! He was getting really impatient now. He looked at the clock, 10:53 it read. My dad who was not so stealthily being photographed, looked towards me and broke out into a smile. "Ready to go?" he asked"But..." "It's OK, I'm pretty sure George must be arriving soon. He's always had a tendency to cut things a bit close. Best save a compartment, shouldn't you?" I agreed with him and instantly felt a dozen cameras go off. "Ignore them" he whispered in my ear "I know it seems hard but you just go enjoy yourself and don't let what anyone says change your mind about anyone"

I was positive he meant not to pay heed to any rumours circulating about him. "Sure" I said and putting on a brave face gave him and mom a huge bear hugged bounded off. "We've got nothing to worry about with this one." I heard mum remark to Auntie Mione. "Yeah... but with Fred around you should keep a toilet seat in mind" and they both chuckled. I shook my head. I must have heard that wrong. Well lets hope that mom is right.

It seemed as though I passed the entire population go Hogwarts before finding an empty compartment. Some people ignored me while others looked back to confirm if it was me indeed. Finally, I found a compartment and settled down. Two minutes later Freddie walked in. I immediately beckoned him over and it was only then a realised there was a strange girl with him. I gave him a puzzled look and he replied with a shrug. She came in and immediately introduced herself in a definitely accented voice, "I'm Ravenna, Ravenna Dursley."

"American I suppose. Hi, I'm James Potter." I heard a small gasp come from her. So she had heard of me, or more accurately my dad, as well.

"Actually, my dad is British but moved to the States just after his 18th Birthday. You see, he is a muggle and so is my mum, so I don't know too much about this world."

"Well, it seems you know my father, or whatever they say about him anyways." I replied bitterly. I mean honestly could people stop seeing me through my dad!

"Actually, it was my dad who told me. And yes, he is a muggle" she said looking at our expressions, " But they are also cousins." Ravenna knew this to be true. Upon receiving her Hogwarts letter not weeks from when they moved back to London, her mom had laughed, thinking it was a practical joke but my dad had gone pale. He held that glint in eye which only came into them when a lot of things seemed to be going through his head. He knew a surprising lot about these 'wizards' and it was just the night before that she had finally managed to get him to fess up about his cousin(of who's existence she hadn't known about) to be the saviour, or so he hoped of the world. It had revealed a lot about his past, how he was an overweight bully with parents blind to his many faults. After Harry had left and so did they, he completed his education at Smeltings, corrected his ways, and at the first opportunity he got, moved away from his parents to a better life. It was slow at first, but he soon found he had an incredible head for managing numbers and in a matter of years, he was leading one of the largest insurance companies in the world. He still remained a reserved man and had just decided to move with his wife and daughter to London, where his heart truly lied.

Ravenna had always managed to get out of tough situations somehow. Once she was called in by the principal for throwing her bag and breaking a fan. However, right in the middle of the meeting, two more fans seemed to fall right next door, leading the principal to believe all were faulty and rush out and her to be left Scott were many such instances and as they accused are and more often, you could see the glint in dad's eyes.

"Wha...at?" James splutters while Freddy looked thunderstruck. "I didn't know my dad had any cousins."

"Well the, you should ask him for the story." She replied putting out her hand"Friends?"

"Sure." Well, James thought, this was gonna make a hell of a letter.
