I looked at my Dad, Harry Potter. I was holding his hand. I was so nervous.
"Alright, James. You can go first." My mother, Ginny said with a smile on her face. With that, James ran at the wall and disappeared to the other side.
"Albus, Me and you can go together." Ginny said to my older brother, who had in fact been sorted into Gryffindor, I think he had asked the sorting hat to sort him into Gryffindor, but he insists that he didn't.
Ginny and Albus ran into the wall, careful to make sure that no muggles (non-magic folk) saw them.
My dad looked at me and smiled lightly "Lily, You don't need to be nervous. It's all going to be fine, I promise. Now, let's go." Harry said and we started to run through the wall and to the platform. I looked around, it was packed and the glorious red train sat there, already filling with students. I looked to the left and saw Ron and Hermione, my aunt and uncle and their children, Rose and Hugo. I walked over to them, still holding my dad's hand... I didn't care if I looked stupid, I was far too nervous to care.
"Hi Lily." Hugo said, smiling, It was his first year too and that made me feel a little better.
"Hey Hugo, Nervous?" I asked, smiling weakly back at him.
"Very nervous. Dad says that if I don't get into Gryffindor then I won't be his son any more... I can't tell if he's kidding or not" Hugo said.
I laughed "I'm sure he's only joking." I said.
"Kids, You better get on the train, find an empty compartment." Hermione said, and then leaned down to kiss Hugo's cheek. Hugo quickly ducked out of the way, grinning. "I'll save you a seat Lily!" Hugo said and ran onto the train.
I looked over at my Dad again, it was going to be so hard not to see my parents until Christmas "See you soon Dad." I said and leaned into give him a hug. "I'll miss you." I added.
Harry smiled brightly down at Lily "I'll miss you too, Send me an owl when you find out what house you were sorted into." Harry said and then let go of living her, giving her a light push, she needed to leave now or she was going to miss the train.
"Bye!" I said, running onto the train to find a seat where Hugo, Albus, James and Rose were.
"Hello." I said to them and took a seat next to Rose and beside the window, I waved out of the window to my parents and they waved back, smiling reassuringly at me.
Soon, the train took off and we were on out way to Hogwarts, I couldn't help but feel even more nervous now, there was no going back home. I was going to be sorted and spend all my time at Hogwarts, studying and being scared of the teachers, I was probably more nervous about being sorted; I wasn't brave like my Dad. I get scared, quiet easily actually. Weren't Gryffindors supposed to be brave? That was one of the traits. I was going to be sorted into Slytherin, I was sure of that and what would I do then? Leave Hogwarts? No. I couldn't do that. I would just have to be the odd one, the one person in my family to be sorted into a different house.
My thoughts were interrupted by my cousin, Rose, tapping me on the shoulder, she had obviously noticed how nervous I looked. "Hey Lil. You don't need to worry." Rose said.
"I'm not worrying! I swear!" I lied, looking over at her.
"Okay, Okay. You're not worrying." Rose said, grinning at her. Rose was in her second year at Hogwarts, the same year as my brother, Albus and the Malfoy boy, Scorpius.
I looked out the window again, staring outside at the passing fields. I stayed like that for about an hour, until I heard a tap on the door of our compartment. I knew exactly who it was, from the moment I had seen his blonde hair. It was Scorpius Malfoy and his two other friends, who I didn't know the names of. I looked over at my family, Albus and Rose were glaring at Scorpius, daring him to say a word. Hugo just stared blankly at Scorpius but Albus was on his feet, opening the door of the compartment.
"And what exactly do you want, Malfoy?" Albus asked.
