Chapter 1- Like Old Times

"Mum"

I awoke abruptly, as I heard my name being shrieked in my face. The same set of piercing silver eyes staring straight at me.

"What is it Rose?" I asked groggily wishing to go back to sleep, back to that long lost memory.

"It's time! You need to get up. We should be leaving in 2 hours!"

"2 hours! You got me up when we have 2 hours left! Bloody kids". Hermione grumbled to herself, whilst dragging herself out of her warm, comfy bed.

"Hey I heard that! There's a cup of tea and toast ready for you in the kitchen. I'm going to make sure I have packed everything" And with that the girl disappeared.

Hermione sat on her bed, deep in thought. She still felt the same tingling feeling all over her body where she had been touched. It had been 12 years and still she could remember that night as if it had just happened. Sighing, Hermione gathered her thoughts and prepared for the big day ahead of her. Today was the 1st September and the beginning of her new job and Rose's first day at Hogwarts. Her final thought before getting ready was I hope nothing unexpected happens today.


(Later at Platform 9 ¾)

"HEY LILLY!!"

Hermione tried and failed to slow Rose down as she ran at full blast to her best friend.

"I see you still can't tame her"

This came from a rather tall red head, which was wearing the biggest grin on his face. He almost looked like a Cheshire cat.

"Oh shut up Ron! I would like to see you try and do better"

"She's right, I don't know anyone who can control that girl. Hogwarts are going to love her" This comment came from the final part of the Golden trio. After giving both of her best friends a hug (and a smack around the head to Harry) she looked around for her daughter. After a while she found her with Lilly, Lilly's mother and the rest of the Potter family.

"Hey Ginny, I see you have managed to calm your daughter. Mine is driving me crazy, at last some peace and quiet.

"Well at least you only have one, I still have 3 more to care for, when Lilly is off at Hogwarts"

"Ginny you only have 3 children, don't you?"

"You obviously are forgetting my husband, I swear he never has grown up!"

"But that's why you love me!" Harry butted in, giving his wife his best smile.

"Of course. Anyway the train is leaving in 10 minutes, we should go and get everyone settled"

Out of nowhere Rose and Lilly popped up, Rose already wearing her school robes.

"We're ready!" The two squealed, whilst bouncing on the spot with excitement.

"Sometimes your daughter is just like you Hermione!" Harry laughed noticing Rose's eagerness.

Oh, how I wish she were, thought Hermione.
