Roses' POV
Today is the day. I am finally going to Hogwarts. I've been waiting my whole life for this. My parents, had gone to Hogwarts for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and had helped my Uncle, Harry Potter defeat the old villain-who I think is called- Voldemort. I can't wait, I hardly slept last night, now I am at the train station, Platform 9 ¾, to board the train to Hogwarts. My mom and dad are just behind me, with my brother Hugo. They looked really proud of me, I feel like I was born for this.
In a distance, I saw Uncle Harry, aunt Ginny and my cousins James, Albus and Lily coming in our directions. James had begun to go to Hogwarts last year, while Albus and I are starting this year. In the summer, James had always boasted and talked about his adventures in Hogwarts. When he talks about Hogwarts, it just gets me more and more excited.
"Rose, do you have your toothbrush and jumper?" My mom asked me. She was always the worrisome one.
"Yeah, yeah I got it." I said. My mom smiled at me. When she was at Hogwarts in school, she always studied and read and was very intelligent, as my dad and people always praised her. She stuffed my bag with books, A LOT of books, with an Undectable Extension Charm, only she can pull it off.
My dad was standing around the corner, talking with Aunt Ginny, and I finally see Albus and James coming our way.
"Hey there Rose." James greeted me. Albus and Lily gave me a hug. We chatted for a bit.
"Hey, I think I left something back at the train station, guys wait up for me, okay?" said James.
"Okay." We said, and off he went. Albus went and had a little chat with uncle Harry, while I stood there waiting for the train to come, I can just see my future already, Hogwarts, reading books, making potions and casting spells. I can't wait till we get there. My pet owl was already squirming in her cage.
All of a sudden, we see Albus running back, and telling us all about Teddy and Victoire snogging down the corner. Albus, Lily and I laughed our heads off, especially the looks on the adult's reactions.
My dad pointed at a weird-looking kid around the corner, I see him hugging his parent's goodbye.
"Now that's Scorpius Malfoy, you have to beat him in every test." Said my Dad. My mom scolded him and reassured me again.
"Alright, alright, just joking," said dad. "But don't get too friendly with him though, Grandpa Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pure blood."
I blushed like a red tomato. The colour of my cheeks is almost exactly the colour of my hair. I have my Dad's hair and my Mom's eyes. Mom gave Dad the hard stare. No one messes with her once she gives that stare.
After that, I realized that it was time to get on the train and go to Hogwarts. I am so excited I could hardly stand up straight. I gave my parents and Hugo one last hug, before I get on the train. James and I went on together. We sat on one of the comfy red velvet couches that the train has. Albus was the last to join us. I saw him talking with Uncle Harry. Must be first-year jitter nerves.
"It's going to be fine." I said, I held his hand. "You're going to get in Gryffindor, trust me."
Albus smiled and sat up proud. I think he gained his confidence back. I saw a yellow spark was following him from behind, must be a spell, one of the students have casted. I stared at the window, prepared to wave one more goodbye, when I see a chocolate frog on it. These must be the moving chocolate frogs James always talked about. They were so cool. One of them hopped into my hand for the journey. I can hardly wait till we get there.
I gave one last final wave to my family, and the train started to move. I stopped waving and tried to infer what the good future at Hogwarts might bring me and everyone.
