A/N: Ok, so I just finished this story during vacation, then I went back to reread the 7th Harry Potter. When I got to the end of the seventh book, I realized that Lily is actually two years behind Al, not one. But I had already finished this story. So for the purposes of this story, Lily is 11, Al is 12 and James is 14. I would change it, but that might mess up the other stories I have planned, plus this is a really big year for all three Potters and their friends. So it is staying the way it is!

"You do think that they will be ok, right?" asked Ginny, as the Hogwarts Express carried away all three of her children to her Alma Mater. Her Hogwarts. Harry's Hogwarts. Now, their children's Hogwarts, James', Albus' and Lily's. Jamie was 14 now, he could take care of himself and his siblings, or so he thought. Harry came behind her and snaked his arms around her waist. Ginny wrapped her arms around his. A ways down the platform, Hermione and Ron were waving hugging; Hermione seemed to be crying tears of joy and sadness, all at once.

Harry was thinking of other things. His mind wandered to something he had heard years ago, before his first son had been born, before kids started being taken from Hogwarts in the cover of night. But Harry did not want to worry Ginny. She had enough to think about. Her hands fluttered nervously over her stomach as the train disappeared around the bend.

"Yeah," said Harry, giving Ginny a kiss on top of her head, "yeah, they'll be fine. It will all be ok."

Chapter 1

Lily waved one last wave to her parents. She thought she saw her mother's hands go to her stomach, but no, that couldn't have been right. Lily walked down the train listening to the ruckus aboard the train, exploding snap in this compartment, snogging in the next one, simple talking among friends in that one.

But whenever Lily passed by, all heads turned to her. She had put on a fairly accurate façade of being naïve to her father's famousness, but she had known about that ever since she learned how to use a computer. Google was the best search engine by far, producing the best results for the search of each of her family members. She had started with her dad, and learned his story after about an hour and a half of searching the web. She had then looked up her mom, her siblings, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, her parents' friends, and everyone else.

After learning the story, she chose her favorite cousin to talk to, Victoire. She explained everything that Lily hadn't already figured out. Now she was Victoire's maid of honor for she and Teddy's secret wedding. They couldn't keep it a secret much longer though. Basically, only the parents didn't know about it, and even they might have been feigning naivety. Not exactly the best plan, but who was Lily to judge, she hadn't even been kissed!

Finally Lily came upon a near empty compartment. Inside was a boy with floppy red hair and clear blue eyes. His long nose stuck out as far as his ears. The other boy had his mother's dirty blonde wavy hair that was about ear length and giant brown eyes that barely ever blinked. His full lips were in the middle of an argument. Lily opened the door silently and leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms and one leg over the other.

"Look no disrespect to my cousin, but I think that Meg is prettier than Lily," said the redhead, crossing his arms.

"Well, I can personally vouch for the fact that Lily is a lot prettier," said Lily startling them both out of their argument. Hugo turned bright red at being caught by Lily, whom most people find intimidating. The blonde smiled at Lily, who flipped her long red hair over her shoulder and then sat next to him.

"Sandy, I am guessing you were on my side?" asked Lily facing Lysander, whom everyone believed was destined for Lily. Not only was he able to get her to open up but he also was the only one who could calm her when she was having a fit. Lily snuggled up next to Lysander, and gave him a peck on the cheek. This was more to annoy Hugo than anything else, because he personally found relationships disgusting after seeing all his cousins parade through with their countless boyfriends and girlfriends, watching the snogging, the hand holding, the cuddling, and the whispering in each other's ears. It made Hugo not want to ever have a girlfriend.

But then he met Meggie. She was smart, funny, pretty, and easy to talk to. She was one of Lily's friends. Uncle Harry was friends with her parents. A couple years back, though, her sister had been kidnapped while at Hogwarts. Her parents hadn't wanted to send her, but eventually decided it would be the safest place for her. After tearful good-byes, Hugo had helped Meggie onto the train and she was now going to the bathroom. Then James came by.

He knocked on the glass and then opened the door. He glared at Lysander, but that made Lily only cuddle closer. It was she and Sandy's own personal brand of torture. And it worked wonders on her siblings and cousins. But no one was confused in this "relationship". She had made that clear from the start. But it was nice just being held by someone.

"Stop that," says James, still staring daggers at Lysander, who was starting to get uncomfortable. Lily elbowed Sandy in the ribs and gave him a "don't back down" look. "Everyone knows that you aren't together in real life. Besides, I wanted to introduce you to someone. Lily, Lysander, Hugo, this is Katie Aloy."

All the other three could do was stare. This girl looked just like Meg. It was shocking. Same dark brown wavy hair, same blue-green eyes, same light caramel colored skin, same small nose and same full pink lips. Then she spoke.

"It is nice to meet you. My sister went to Hogwarts a couple years ago and well, I just didn't think I would get to go."

"Ok," said James, sitting Katie down next to Hugo, who looked slightly uncomfortable. Hugo scouched slightly away and faced out the window. "You kids play nice. And no snogging!" he yelled as the door closed and he walked away.
