Chapter 2: Meet the Family
I shut the train door behind me and hurried up the steps towards the girls.
Lily was a year younger than me and Rose was my age. I smiled slightly. They both grinned at me and started dragging me along the train.
Nothing had really changed on this train since Sirius and I had gone looking for Remus so many years ago. Now we were headed towards a compartment filled with all the teens from the platform. I looked at the number on the side.
Compartment 80b.
Figures.
As we walk in, we are surrounded by hello's and how's it going? I sit down in the seat closest to the window. I take out a random book from my bag and begin to read. I start to realize that there are a lot of eyes staring in my direction. I look up to find the compartment silent and every eye trained on me.
"Hi."
I say shyly. I have no idea why I was so shy.
"Hey."
Said Albus, smiling back at me.
"Your Piper right?"
Albus asked.
"Yes I am. Your Albus right?"
I ask back. He smiled and nodded his head. "Let me officially introduce the group. Albus was sitting on the right-hand side by the door. He pointed towards the boy across from him.
"This is my older brother James."
He said. James looked a lot like his grandfather. Almost identical. Albus looked just like Harry.
"Nice to meet you Piper."
Said James with a charming smile that would make his grandfather proud.
"Hi."
I say back. Albus turns to Lily sitting beside him.
"This is my sister Lily, who you've already met. She's in year four."
He told me. She grimaced. She apparently did not like being introduced as a year younger. Albus ignored the stare coming from Lily and moved on to the girl sitting next to James.
"This is Rose."
He said. She looked just like Hermione, which made smile.
"Hello Rose, nice to meet you."
I say to her.
"Hi Piper, great to have you with us."
she replied back. Albus turned to the boy who looked a lot like Ron, even the hair.
"That's Hugo. He's in year four too."
he said. Hugo stuck his tongue out at Albus and then got up to shake my hand before going back to sit next to Lily. Albus then turned to a pretty blonde girl sitting next to me.
"That's Victoire."
He said. I turned to face the blonde girl. She smiled wide like we were already best friends.
"Eet is loovely too meet you Pipair."
She said in a half french accent. I smiled. I liked this one.
"It's nice to meet you too Victoire."
I replied. Albus then turned to face Teddy.
"This is Teddy Lupin."
he said to the boy who was still reading. When his name was called he looked up at me and smiled slightly.
"Nice to meet you Piper, any friend of our parents is a friend of ours."
he said and then with one last smile he returned to his book.
"He's a but shy around new people, but he'll warm up to you eventually."
mock whispered James.
That earned James a slap on the arm from Teddy who was smiling at him. Of course this turned into an all out war between the two and everyone just lifted their legs off the ground and continued their conversations with me.
I just laughed at them and turned to face Victoire , Lily, and Rose who were talking to me about all the cool things that we could do if I was sorted into Gryfindor like the rest of the family.
"So your all related?"
I ask as the train speeds on into the early evening.
"Yes, were all related somehow, except for Teddy. Dad's his godfather though so he is practically related."
Said Lily once the boys had settled down.
"He is family though in our book."
Said Rose smiling.
"That's lovely to hear."
I say. We continue to talk as the train reaches the station in Hogsmeade. I pretend to have no idea where I'm going and am le by James through the crowd of people. Since there is so many of us we take up to carriages.
I sit with James, Lily, and Teddy.
I sit next to James and he strikes me in conversation. I'd much rather read my book but I continue to chat with him. I can see out of the corner of my eye that Teddy is watching me from over his book.
I shudder.
He is an exact replica of his father.
I have to turn away so I don't start crying. The carriage stops.
Teddy is out first and helps me down.
"Thank you."
I say to him. He smiles.
"I'm sorry I seemed stand offish to you on the train."
He said sheepishly. I smile back at him.
"That's alright. I don't mind."
I tell him. James takes this time to but in and the four of us find the rest of the family.
I walk at the back of the group with Teddy next to me.
We talk about books.
I am feeling so de javu right now.
I push that feeling aside as I walk towards the castle, where I can find the familiar face of Albus Dumbledore.
A/N: So hope you like it so far! Being sick has it's benefits, like being able to continue the story. Please let me know how you like it so that I know if it's worth continuing.
