A/N: I know the first part was a bit choppy But I just really wanted to give you a look into Dudley's Mind set before I moved onto Daisy. Be prepared though. It's going to get real. Reviews are always welcome.

LOVE YOU XOXO

This is it, Daisy thought as she stared at the barrier waiting for her cousins to catch up to her. She had done this a million times over the last six years though she had always had her parents standing behind her waving her off to another school year. This was her last year she should be jumping up and down with excitement thinking about the possibilities next year will hold for her. Instead she couldn't get herself to walk through that barrier. She felt overwhelmed standing here like a first year scared of the stone pillar.

Luckily she wasn't alone staring at the stupid pillar for long. Her cousins surrounded her looking a little out of breath. No doubt from chasing her through Kings Cross. Daisy had just thought the sooner she got here the sooner she would be through that barrier. She hadn't expected to stop in front of it like so. James stared at her with his intense green eyes watching her, waiting for her to break. She wasn't going to do that, she couldn't do that. This was her last year it was far too important for her to break down now. Though Aunt Ginny kept telling Daisy that it was okay, that she should cry and mourn. It just seemed futile to Daisy. There was no use crying over something she couldn't change, crying wouldn't bring her mother back.

"Last First day." Albus said clapping Daisy on the shoulder. His large hand rough from years of playing Quidditch, normally she would have made some quick quip about his calluses. To think seven years ago when she first came onto this platform she hadn't even known she had family and now she didn't know what she would do without them. Especially James who was here with her despite the fact that he should have been at the ministry. "Thank Merlin we never have to do this again like all the losers in the younger years. Sorry Lil," he teased his sister. The tiny ginger nodded along her eyes scanning the place for her ex Lorcan. The boy broke her heart, it was no wonder it took her a moment to fully digest what her brother had just said about her and everyone in her class. Her shielded expression lifted for a moment, daggers shot out of her eyes as she glared at Albus. A string of profanities left her lips causing a noise to come out of James like one Daisy had never heard before. Apparently no one else had heard a noise like that either for James drew the eyes of nearly everyone on the platform with his psychotic laugh.

"Merlin James, is that how you've always sounded?" Daisy questioned a smile hinting at her lips. Despite all the eyes on them she felt like she could breath again. James had always had that effect on her though. He always seemed to know exactly what to say or do to make her laugh. She doubted she would have made it through her first year.

"Working at the ministry really changed me." He said with a wag of his bushy eyebrows. Daisy couldn't hold it in anymore, she let herself laugh. Soon James was joining her while Lily and Albus stared on dumbfounded. Of course they wouldn't get why what he said was so funny. It was a joke Daisy could't explain. They would have had to been there during that ridiculous sleepless night in the library last year when Daisy and James had gotten so exhausted they had basically spent an hour talking nonsense.

"I feel like we are missing something Albus." Lily muttered looking between the two laughing their asses off in the middle of Kings Cross. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny seemed to appear out of the stone work like bloody Spirokins.

"Come on guys we are going to be late if we don't get moving." Aunt Ginny said ushering her youngest through the barrier, they quickly disappeared onto the platform with Albus following shortly after. Then it was just James, Uncle Harry and her. Daisy still wasn't sure she was ready, this was her last year. Her last chance to be something other then a cousin to the Potters. She could do this, couldn't she?

"Come on then." James said motioning her forward, she started to push her cart forward when she heard her name bouncing off the the stone walls. She pivoted, her dark hair spraying out around her as she whipped her head around. Her heart stopped as she saw her father barreling towards them, his face red and puffy, but finally he was here. Daisy abandoned her cart and dashed towards her father. After everything that had gone down with her mother she had thought she was never going to see this man again. Yet here he was, wrapping her up in his arms and squeezing her tightly. Her feet lifted off the ground as he held her tightly.

"I'm so sorry it took me so long to get my head out of my arse." He muttered into her ear as he set her back down on the cobbled stone. Daisy couldn't breathe, she couldn't believe he was actually here. After her mother had died he had left her in the hands of Uncle Harry.

"It's about damn time Dud." Uncle Harry said coming up from behind them. For a moment there Daisy had completely forgotten they were in Kings Cross station, she had been so consumed with seeing her father she had forgotten basically everything else.

She cursed under her breath as she glanced up at the clock. she had just gotten her father back and now she had to leave him again. James stood by the barrier motioning for her to hurry up. Confliction washed over her but she knew the right thing to do was to get on that train.

"I'm so sorry dad I've got to get going. Owl me and I'll see you at Christmas yeah?" She said looking back as she ran towards the barrier that was bound to close any moment. Her father smiled weakly and waved his hand, brushing off her apology.

"Go, I'll see you then Daisy." She hit the barrier at a sprint. Stealing her cart on her way past James. She shot him a look, hoping her would distinguish what she meant as she passed him. He seemed to nod slightly, understanding that she needed him to keep an eye on her father.
