Whoops! Forgot to add this!

XO, Dreamer

"ABBY AMANDA HAWKINS, YOU'D BETTER BE GETTING UP!" my mother yelled form the bottom of the stairs. Today was September 1st, the day I leave for my third year at Hogwarts.

"I'm up!" I yelled back as I pulled on my Muggle clothes. The jeans fit rather nicely, I thought to myself as I yanked them on. I slipped on my purple Converse and purple v-neck just as my older brother came bursting in my room.

"Ready, Ab?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, Sam," I said, "And next time, please knock!"

He just smiled and grabbed my trunk and I grabbed my owl, Ella. We both ran down the stairs and my mum appeared at the foot of the stairs with my younger Metamorphmagus brother, Wes, on her hip.

"Ready?" she asked and grabbed the keys from the marble table.

"Yup," I said and we ran out the door. Sam claimed the passenger side seat and I was in the back with Wes. He kept pointing at different things and screaming "Pickles!" his new favorite word.

"Hey, Mum?" I asked.

"PICKLES!" Wes yelled as we passed a bunch of flowers.

"Yes, sweetheart?" she sighed.

"Any news from Dad?" I asked and she smiled sadly.

"None, sweetheart," she murmured and I noticed that Sam had been staring at the windshield as if his life depended on it.

"You okay, Sam?" I asked and he nodded curtly. I sighed and settled into my seat. Dad had been on a Death Eater hunt for a month now and we had no word of him.

I wish he would be home to be with us. Wes just started talking and walking and Sam would be graduating in two years. Not to mention, I made it on the Quidditch team finally and I needed help with it. It was hard for my entire family that he was gone.

…

I stood in the middle of platform 9 ¾ at ten minutes to eleven. Standing on my tip-toes, I scanned the crowd for my best friend. Spotting the black haired boy, I raced over to him and tackled the boy.

"HEY JAMES!" I yelled and he laughed.

"Hey, Abs," he said and hugged me back fiercely.

"It's great to see you," I said and then turned to his parents who had smiles on their faces, "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Potter."

"Good morning, Abby," Mr. Potter said and he smiled at me with James plastered to my side. His green eyes seemed to laugh with amusement.

"Hello, dear," said Mrs. Potter, her brown eyes twinkling as well, mischief written all over her face. What was with them?

"Hey Albus," I greeted the first year who was looking quite nervous. He brightened when he saw me.

"Hey, Abby," he said. Lily, who was clinging to Mr. Potter's leg, looked up and bounded over to me.

"Hi, Abs!" Lily squealed and gave me a big hug.

"Whoa, Lily, you've grown!" I said and ruffled her hair. She beamed up at me. I looked around and then noticed the Weasley family standing near us. I smiled.

"Hello, Abby," Mrs. Weasley greeted me and smiled.

"Good morning!" I said cheerfully.

"Hey, Abs!" Rose screamed and I laughed.

"Hullo, Abby," Hugo said from his mother's side. I smiled at the rather large family around me.

"How's your father?" Mr. Weasley asked and I instantly felt tears well in my eyes.

"I haven't heard from him," I mumbled, staring at my suddenly blurry shoes. I didn't quite like talking about him at the moment, especially since I realized that Mum hadn't gotten word of him, yet.

"Ron!" Mrs. Weasley hissed and whacked her husband.

"Abs, don't take off on me like that," Sam panted as he came to a stop beside me.

"Oh, please," I said, "You were just going off to find Dominique so you could—"

The rest of my sentence was cut off by Sam's hand which was clamped over my mouth.

"Silly Abby," he said and I glowered at him.

"Oh you know you were going to," I sang and Sam blushed.

"I'm confused," James and Albus chorused.

"He was going to mrphh—"

Sam had once again slapped his hand over my mouth to prevent me from talking.

"Tell you later," I grumbled and James grinned.

"Good morning, everyone," Sam said to the family and they all greeted him back.

"It's nearly eleven," Mr. Potter announced, checking his watch, "You'd better get on board."

"Don't forget to give Neville our love!" Mrs. Potter said as she kissed and hugged James.

"Mum! I can't give Professor love!"

"But you know Neville—"

James rolled his eyes and snorted.

"Be nice," I said and playfully swatted at him.

He turned to his brother and started talking. I rolled my eyes. He was always pestering poor Albus.

"Ready, Abs?" Sam asked for the billionth time that morning as James aimed a kick at Albus.

"I suppose so," I sighed as Albus yelled "I thought they were invisible? You said they were invisible!"

James grabbed my hand as we ran onto the train.

"Attached at the hip, those two," I heard Mrs. Potter say to Mrs. Weasley before we sprinted down the corridor.

…

The train ride was quite nice as James and I just talked. The door slid open about halfway through the first hour to reveal my best friend, Rachel Smith.

"Rach!" I squealed and gave her a huge hug.

"Hey, Ab!" she said and hugged me back.

"No hug for James?" James said, jokingly as Rachel rolled her eyes.

"C'mere you big prat," she said and hugged him tightly.

We all laughed as the compartment door slid open again to reveal Lysander and Lorcan Scamander.

"Morning, all," Lysander greeted the group, his blonde hair falling into his eyes.

"Hello," Lorcan said as they both dropped simultaneously into their seats.

"Morning," James greeted his friends.
