Moonstone

Chapter 1, Another year

Teddy sighed as he boarded the train, he knew that his Grandma would be crying again as she always did, he may have heard her call "I'll miss you Teddy" but he may have just imagined it. He entered the compartment and stuck his head out of the window; sure enough he could make out the face of his Grandmother, tears streaming down it with her arm stuck in the air waving frantically. Casually he waved back, it was no big deal this was just going to be another year at Hogwarts.

He sunk down into his seat and Victoire rested her head on his shoulder. He gently kissed the soft, silver, gold hair and reached into his bag to pull out his new book; his godfather had given it to him for his 17th birthday. The title read 'Standard Book of Spells Grade 7' and underneath it in flowing handwriting said 'With Notes by H. J. Potter' this had been his godfather's copy of the book but he had decided not to complete his 7th year at Hogwarts and so it had gone away into his trunk and been forgotten, until Teddy had found it a few ago. Then Harry had taken it away and added all his notes then given it to Teddy.

A few hours later it was dark and Victoire had fallen asleep, sighing peacefully, lying on the seats opposite him, unfortunately Teddy himself could not sleep. He sat up and left the compartment and began to walk down the aisle. About halfway down the narrow corridor a familiar face popped out, a small girl with red hair, and a few freckles popped out in front of him. Teddy recognised her as Rose Weasley his younger cousin, this was going to be her first year at Hogwarts. "Hi Teddy, how are you? I can't wait to get to Hogwarts!" her excitement was evident to anyone,
"yeah, it's gonna be fun" he slipped past her and as he did he thought he saw her wink and blow a kiss at him but he dismissed the idea at once and wandered back to his compartment.

As he began to drift into sleep his thoughts wandered back to Rose. What if she had winked at him, what if she liked him in that way, "that's ridiculous" he thought "she's too young for me and she knows I'm with Victoire". He slept badly for about an hour and was awoken by a shudder from the train, Victoire was already awake and had neatly laid their hand luggage out on the seat, Teddy yawned, "Thanks V, I may have been stuck on the train if not for you" he chuckled, He got up and kissed her soft lips, they then began to leave the train.

When he got off he saw Hagrid leading the first years towards the lake, where they would take the boats to the castle, he thought he could spy his cousins with both red hair and scruffy black hair. He didn't linger but continued towards the carriages that would take them from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts with his hand entwined with Victoire's.
