Chapter 1 – Platform 9 ¾

"Mom hurrryyyy let's go! It's 10:50 already what if we miss the train?!" Lily Potter cried, with the nerves in her stomach getting the better of her.

"Lily Luna Potter, how many times do I have to tell you?!" Harry Potter said, sarcastically, with a smile on his face. "Your uncle Ron and I always got here around 10:56 so you have nothing to worry about. In my book, you're early."

"Fine, but can we please walk a little faster?" Lily pleaded with her father. 'Bloody Hell, I'm finally here, going to Hogwarts… What if I'm put in Slytherin?! What would Dad say… Of course, Albus was terrified at the fact of being put in Slytherin, but he said that the sorting hat put him in Gryffindor in an instant… but he looks like dad! I look more like mum… of course mum was in Gryffindor too…' Thoughts like this had been running through Lily's head all day. Her parents had told her that everything would be okay, but she was still really nervous.

"Lily, sweetie, I promise you that everything will work out. You are going to love Hogwarts as much as your father and I did!" Ginny Potter told her daughter reassuringly. She had noticed how terrified her youngest child had looked, and she knew how she was feeling, because she had felt the same way her first year.

"I know mum, I'm just scared, what if I am put in Slytherin?" Lily finally came clean to her parents on what she had been worrying about all summer.

"If you are, we will be just as proud of you as we would be if you were put in Gryffindor. But believe me, if you want to be put in Gryffindor that badly, then you can ask the sorting hat. He will take your choice into account." Harry told her. He remembered having the same talk with his youngest son just 2 years before. He knew that his daughter was nervous, but he was 99% positive that she would be put in Gryffindor. He also knew that if it wasn't Gryffindor, it would most likely be Ravenclaw, because his daughter still trembled at the name Voldermort, and when he mentioned his old defense against the dark arts teachers and classes, she got really scared because she hated dark magic. So, that basically put being in Slytherin out of the question.

"Alright James, ready to go through?" Ginny asked her oldest son. He nodded and proceeded to lean casually against the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. As he did so, he slipped into the barrier, and disappeared. "Ok Al, you next!" Ginny told Albus. Albus did the same as he had just seem his brother do, and also disappeared into the barrier. "Lily, you ready?" Lily gulped, nodded, and her mother grabbed her trolley, and together they ran straight for the barrier and disappeared. Harry followed closely behind, and found himself on a completely different platform. He looked up and saw the sign that proclaimed 'Platform 9 ¾.' He jogged to catch up with the rest of his family, and found them talking to Ron and Hermione Weasley, his brother and sister in laws.

"Harry! How great to see you!" Hermione said enthusiastically. Ron gave him a big grin, then picked Lily up and spun her around.

"Lil, are you ready to go to Hogwarts?" Ron asked his niece. She nodded, but even he could see that she was very nervous. "Don't worry, you'll love it. I promise you." She smiled up at him, then heard the whistle that gave the warning that the train would be departing soon. She turned around to face her parents, fear written across her face, and ran straight into her mothers arms. Her father grabbed her trunk and put it onto the train, then pulled James and Albus into a quick hug before they jumped onto the train. Then, he squeezed the air out of Lily, and gave her a quick goodbye, and she too climbed onto the train. The three Potter children and the two Weasley's, Rose and Hugo, stuck their heads out of a compartment, and waved goodbye. Lily gulped as she felt the train begin to move, and pulled her head into the compartment. She was finally going to Hogwarts.
