Year One:

There is was. Kings cross station, a magnificent building with millions of muggles flowing in and out of its doors each day. We were travelling in a muggle car, a Ford to be exact, my mother has always been fond of muggle things. I have waited 11 years for this day, 11 years of a boring muggle life, 11 years of worrying, 11 years of excitement. I stood just outside the station, clutching my father's hand, my little brother Hugo beaming up at me. I was scared, it was a whole new world.

Calm yourself Rose! Come on, compose yourself; The year is 2017, my name is Rose, I am a Weasley, I am a witch and this is my journey to Hogwarts.

We entered the station, fighting against the current of muggles, many of them taking a second look at us. I felt extremely self-conscious, I mean, I was pushing a trolley that held a large trunk and a barn owl sitting on top of the trunk.

Platform 1,Platform 2...3,4...5,6...7,8...9 and 10. Platform 9 3/4 was what we needed. Mother and father had done this hundreds of times but still I was scared to death. A gentle hand squeezed my right shoulder, I turned to see my mothers warm, reassuring smile. In front of me stood between Platforms 9 and 10. My hands were shaking, a quick glance over at the clock, 11:50, the train leaves at midday.

Come on Rosie, just straight through the wall...

A rush of determination flooded my body and without any warning, I found myself on the other side of the wall.

I was greeted to the sight of a scarlet red train and the excited faces of other witches and wizards. The rest family were quickly by my side as we meandered down the Platform. I loaded my trunk on to the train and soon, old school mates of my parents were greeting mother and father; each I was introduced to, one was a young lady called Luna Scamander. By her side was a young boy, probably the same age as her with the name lorcan. I occasionaly tuned in to the adults conversations, getting confused by most of it ; what was a Whackspurt? I looked around for the one person I hadn't seen for the whole summer, my best friend, the one I was closest to, my cousin, Albus Sirius Potter.

I waited a while longer for my parents to finish their reunions. I scaned the Platform again. A tall boy with platinum blond hair caught my eye. He had silvery-blue eyes that shone in the light. He was also in the same situation as me, his father was caught up with his old friends so he stood there, almost awkwardly. He glanced over in my direction, startled to find that I was staring at him. He stared for a moment longer, as if to get a good look at me and smiled shyly. He was very attractive, but I knew exactly who he was. Standing beside him was the man my father despised, Draco Malfoy. My train of thought was broken when I heard my name being called in the distance, my eyes broke away from the boy and a warm smile spread across my face.

"Rose! Rose!" the familiar voice called.

It was Albus' first year as well. Albus had an older brother already at Hogwarts, James, and a younger sister,Lily. He probably needn't worry about being liked, his father was one of the most famous wizards of all time, the Mr Harry Potter. Albus was scared to his wit's end despite the hours of comforting and reassureance from his mother; it probably didn't help that his brother, James, was taunting him with the possibility of being in Slytherin house.

"Al!" I greeted with friendly hug. Albus had dark hair and his fathers eyes. Albus and I looked nothing alike but we both shared the same personality, we have the same mind-set, at times we could even read each others minds. I also hugged James and hugged Lily who was in her usual playful mood.

"So, how was your summer, Rose?" Albus asked as he gave a friendly nod towards his Aunt and Uncle.

"It was SO boring! There is nothing to do in the muggle world. I've passed my grade 5 piano exam though" muggle instruments were extremely uncommon, apparently I was one of only a few witchs or wizard who know how to play an instrument.
"Oh thats brilliant! Well done!" Albus congratulated me,"You should really try to teach me some time...help me impress some girls-" I pushed him, although we both knew we were joking.

"James! I can't believe you just said that! I-" the whistle blew, signaling that it was time to say goodbye.

"Have you got everything, Rose? We've not forgotten anything have we? Jacket? Money?" my mother stressed before pulling her me in for a hug. I relished her warmth for one last time before breaking away.

"Have fun. BEHAVE. Pay attention in your classes, oh! I'll miss you!" mum bearly got this out before her eyes filled up with tears. Young witches and wizards began filling up the train. I gave a kiss to my father and Hugo before grabbing Albus on board the Hogwarts Express.

"Remember,stay away from the Malfoy b-"

"Ron! Don't tun them against each other before they've even met!" Mum exclaimed. Me and Albus gave one last smile before turning into a carriage. We walked down the corridor till we found the compartment where James and our cousins, Victoire and Fred, were sitting.


"They're really going, aren't they?" Hermione whispered, pulling out a tissue.

"Remember our first year, Hermione? I just hope they won't get into as much trouble as we did" Harry smiled, also in disbelief that his children were growing up so quickly, Lily would be at Hogwarts in a mere two years time. The final whistle of the train sounded, puffs of steam flowed in the air at a steady pace, gradually increasing as the train pulled away.
