Chapter 2

Disclaimer- I do not only any of the Harry Potter characters present in this narrative.

Eventually we made it to King Cross Station at 10:30. We would have gotten here much earlier if Louis and Dominque remembered to pack everything they needed before we were leaving. It's a common occurrence whenever we leave the house. "See it's just as well we left early this morning otherwise we'd be running late" my mother says as we arrive.

We soon walked on to platform 9 and ¾ where the Hogwarts Express stood. Even though the train was going to depart in twenty minutes the platform is beginning to get quite busy. However none of our extended family were here. Typical. No matter what the event my family was always the first to arrive.

For a while the five of us stand there. Mum is fussing over Louis and assuring him if has forgotten anything she can send it to the school, which seems to happen every year. Meanwhile Dom is currently getting a lecture from my Dad about how she is expected to try her hardest throughout this year since she is taking her OWL'S. I don't know what my parents are expecting. Dom just barley passes her subjects due to lack of effort it's hardly likely she's going to do the work required to get any outstanding's. Louis then sees some of his friends are gives my parents a fleeting goodbye as well as a promise to write every week and disappears. Mum then also joins Dad conversation with Dom.

"Dominque" my mother says, "getting good results requires effort and dedication. Just ask Victoire. Do you think she received all outstanding's without putting in the work?" At this point I can also visibly see Dominque's rage. Truth be told I think I may have studied for three hours the night before the exams started and ended up with remarkable results. I'd always been top of the class but have never put any work into it whereas my peers studied for days before an exam and received poorer results.

At about quarter to 11 my eyes began scanning the platform. The station had rapidly become crowded with eager students and elated or weeping parents. Cases and various animals were everywhere and pupils embraced their friends and retold tales of their holidays. Some of my peers waved and smiled at me and congratulated me on getting Head Girl; however I wasn't interested in any of this. Damn it! He said he would be here to see me off! I let out a sigh of frustration. God help him if he didn't show up. Just breathe Vic I chant to myself, he promised he would come.

"Looking for somebody Vic?" said a voice behind me. I whipped around to see Dominque with her arms crossed over her chest and a smug expression on her face. She takes my silence as a cue to keep going. "I know you think your little secret is unknown to everybody, but seriously how long you think it's going to last before the rest of the world knows?" Dom says scathingly before marching off in the opposite direction. I still had no idea how she found out about this and I was positive I didn't like it that she of all people knew about it. Hell my parents or friends didn't even know.

I decided I may as well load my luggage onto the train. No point waiting around doing nothing. As I begin to load my first suitcase onto the carriage a pair of strong toned arms lifts the case into the compartment. I turn around to see him and smile widely. He came, he came to see me off!

Teddy Lupin and I had known each other since I was born. We basically grew up together and were best friends from when I was three. This summer though we started going out and because of him I'd just had the best summer ever. Today his hair was dark brown and his eyes a bright blue. This was what he called his "natural state" where he didn't alter anything of his appearance. Today he wore a firm fitting dark blue T-shirt which showed off his perfectly defined abs. God he was hot.

"I though you could use a hand" he said smiling.

"Yeah, umm thanks for that" I replied. Then we stood there for a few minutes smiling at each other like idiots. I was so happy he came. Teddy took my hand "Come on. Let's go somewhere more….private" and he leads me towards a quieter corner of the platform.

"For a moment there I didn't think you were coming" I admitted. At this he laughs.

"God, Vic! Why would I not turn up to see my girlfriend and my god siblings off" he replied. I laugh in response. God siblings is what Teddy called Uncle Harry kids because essentially they were his family.

"Yeah, I guess I overreacted when you weren't here. I did know you were coming, I do that sometimes" I admit.

Teddy wraps his arms around my waist and pulled me closer so our mouths almost touched. One of his hand started playing with my hair and I lifted my arms so they wrap around his neck. The 10 warning whistle blew in the background but I barely heard it. At that moment everything I'd ever cared about was right in front of me.

"I'm going to miss you so much" I whisper. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I never cried and I especially didn't want Teddy to remember me as the crazy emotional chick. I quickly look down at my feet.

"Hey, hey it's okay. I'm going to miss you too. It's only one year and Christmas is only three months away. Just think about that okay. Just three months and then we can spend an entire fortnight together" Teddy reassures. I look back into his eyes and can feel a smile forming on my face.

"Vic, I love you. These three months aren't going to be easy for me either, but the way I see it is that this is your final year. Next year we'll both be out of school and we can do whatever the hell we like" Teddy said. At this I lift my lips to his. It began sweet and gentle but soon the intensity picked up and our kisses became more passionate. His fingers ran though my hair and my hands explored the defined muscles of his back. "I love Teddy "I say and we paused to look into each other's eyes. "I love you to Vic" and then we resume our not so private make-out session. I occasionally heard the voices of disgruntled parents saying how young children shouldn't be exposed to such expression of passion or students pointing at me and laughing in amusement, but at this point I couldn't care less.

"Teddy what are you doing?" Oh Shit! I knew that voice and so did Teddy. We immediately pause and turn to face my twelve year cousin James staring at us in disbelief.

"Teddy! Are you snogging Victoire?" James questioned us. We both remained silent and stared at him with locks of shock and horror plastered onto our faces.

"You are snogging Victoire!" A gleeful smile replaced his confusion as he figured out he had just discovered perhaps the biggest family secret of his time. Teddy then told him to get lost to which he ran in the direction of his family. I groaned now my entire family was going to know before we even arrived at Hogwarts. Teddy's expression told me he wasn't too pleased about the situation either.

The final warming whistle is blown and I know I now have to board to the train.

"See you at Christmas. I'll miss you so much" I say as I peck him lightly on the check.

"I'll miss you too Vic" Teddy replies smiling sadly. At this I gave him one last hug and then walked towards the train. I could hear hushed voices and feel numerous eyes staring at my back as I walk towards the express. When I reach the train's doorway I turn to see Teddy one last time. The platform is full of parents and young children saying their last goodbyes. Teddy was standing alone on the platform. He's always easy to spot since not many people are 6ft 5. I give him a quick wave before being ushered onto the train by a conductor. I begin to make my way down the corridor to the prefects' carriage. Somebody told me at the end of last year there would be a prefect meeting for the first hour of the trip to Hogwarts. Great, I get to be stuck in a compartment with people who don't hate me and my friends. The train then slowly begins to depart the station and I know my final year at Hogwarts has begun.
