Chapter 2: Time To Go Now?

Hey, guys, I'm back with the next chapter. Thank you so much to all of you that are reading this. Also, a huge thank you to those of you have reviewed/followed/favorited this story. It means a lot to me. Just so you know I do not usually get to post two chapters this close together. RL keeps me busy, but I will at least post one chapter a week, maybe two if I am lucky.

The breaks in the story are for a scene break. The view will always be in the general view, but there are times that I will show you the same thing from different points of view or if two things are going on at the same time in the same or different areas. I will try to let you know in the notes before the chapter, so you do not get lost. The chapters should stay in the same length of 1,000-1,500 words. Any more than thay and I will split the chapter up. Enough of my rambling now on with the next chapter.

DISCLAIMER: REMEMBER I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. If I did though the story would not just revolve around him, it would be more like this.


It was finally the big day. Time to ride the Hogwarts Express and start their new lives. Hermione had kept in contact with Draco and Delphina over the days after their meeting in Ollivander's. Even the adults kept in contact and both Jean and Cissy were planning parties for the holidays when the kids would be home. Things were going so well.

Hermione's parents were so happy that Hermione had finally made some friends that would be going to the same school as she. Up until then her friends, the few she had were muggles and once she started showing her magic, she couldn't hang around them anymore. Before she met Draco and Delphina she did have one friend from the magical world though, but she was a third-year student at Beauxbatons Academy, so they didn't get to hang out much anymore. This was the happiest she had been in a long time and her parents hoped she stayed that way.

"Hermione are you ready to go? We need to leave soon so we can get to the platform. The train leaves precisely at 11 o'clock and we do not want you to miss it." Jean yelled up to her daughters' room. Little did she know; her daughter was already outside waiting for her parents, so they could leave.

"Jean, there is no use shouting up to her room, she hasn't been up there for the last hour. She is outside waiting for us." Michael sweetly spoke to his wife. "How did you know she was out there and when were you going to tell me?" Jean questioned in return? "I saw her walk by use while we were talking, I assumed you saw her too." He cheekily replied.

Hermione was peeking around the corner of the house watching her parents when a snowy white owl swooped down dropping a letter in her hands. The owl then rushed off, obviously being told not to wait for a response. The letter was short and simple, but it made her light up in said and now she was even more excited than ever to leave.

Hermione,

Can't wait to see you again. Hope we get sorted in the same house. We will talk on the train. We will have a spot saved in the back for you to join us.

-D.L.M.

Hermione instantly knew it was Draco that had sent her the letter. For one he always signed his initials only and the second reason was Delphina's middle name started with a C, as her middle name is her mothers nickname Cissy. Soon after she read the letter her parents walked out and they headed to the apparition point once again this time with the train station in mind. It was a short trip and then they were walking down the walkway to platforms 9 and 10. Her parents had explained to her before what she was to be doing, but now she was a bit nervous to do it. Knowing her parents would never play a trick on her she walked straight at the wall and was instantly transported to platform 9 ¾. Hogwarts, she is one step closer, here she comes.


Meanwhile, not too far away from Hermione, Draco and Delphina were getting ready to head out as well. Both children were excited for school, albeit for different reasons. Delphina was excited to learn and see what house she would be sorted into, she was also excited to see Hermione again. The two had become fast friends over the last few days since their initial meeting and she was so glad to find a nice girl her age, versus the ones around where they live.

Draco on the other hand, well he didn't care what house he was sorted into (or so he says, he just wants to end up in the same house as her) he was just excited to see Hermione again. He has been enjoying writing to her, but it just wasn't enough for him. He wanted to see her again, see her honey-colored eyes and her wavy chestnut hair. He didn't completely understand it, but hey he was only eleven, he would get it someday.

"Draco, Delphina its time to go. We don't want to be late for the Hogwarts Express. It leaves at exactly 11 o'clock." Cissy called out to them, almost repeating the exact same thing that Jean said to Hermione.

"Coming mother." "Coming mom" the two of them yelled out. Quickly Draco scribbled a note and sent it off with one of their snowy owls before heading down the stairs. Delphina having caught sight of the owl heading off questioned her dear twin brother. "Who is the letter for Draco?" "Letter? What letter?" Can his cheeky reply. Delphina knew better though and knew he was just playing with her.

"What did you tell Hermione?" She queried. "Okay, you got me. I just told her that I can't wait to see her again, that I hope we all get sorted into the same house, and that we will save her a spot on the train. Is there a problem with that?"

Before Delphina had a chance to say anything. Their mother and father had come up and apparated the four of them away to Kings Cross and off to the Hogwarts Express and onto the start of their next journey,
