Chapter Three! Enjoy!
I was awoken early in the morning of September 1st. I was excited, otherwise I would still be mad at Mother (I hate being woken up early).
It was ten thirty by the time we got to the platform; It was scary getting on, but only because it was my first time.
"Mother, will you send owls?" I ask now, twenty minutes left to board the train.
She kisses the top of my forehead. "Of course, Dianna. We'll even send sweets if you do well in your classes." She winks.
I look up at her. "Chocolate Frogs?!" I ask excitedly.
"And Pumpkin Pasties if you're really good," She adds.
Father's gasp makes us both jump. "What is it now, Lucius?" Mother asks, just as confused as I was.
She approaches him, looking straightforward. I see at once what they were looking at. It was Scorpius and his family again; I watch as his father looks up, spots us, then turns away abruptly. His mother, however, showers him in kisses and hugs him tight. When she notices us, she simply smiles warmly. Scorpius' father oddly reminds me of mine...
"I'm going to board the train, Mother," I tell her. She nods once, kissing me again.
Father pats my back once. I sigh. I was hoping for a bigger goodbye. I was going to Hogwarts for the first time, after all.
As I walk away, I hear Mother say, "Doesn't she remind you of him, Lucius? So strong and independent."
I don't hear his reply because I walk straight into a family.
"Oh, excuse us, dear," The mother apologizes, smiling at me. She had long, brown, and slightly bushy hair. Her eyes were a deep brown.
"No, it's my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going," I tell her, starting to move. Her reaction makes me pause.
Her eyes had gone wide, maybe with recognition? She taps her husband, a tall man with a set of freckles, blue eyes, and bright red hair. "It's her!" I hear her whisper.
Creeped out, I turn away only to be blocked by their children- A girl my age, and a boy younger than us.
"Hi, I'm Rose Granger-Weasley," She says, smiling at me. I had no time to process this before she turns away, running off with her brother and father.
The mother stood, watching me. I decide to talk to her, maybe then she'd leave.
"Hello," I say cautiously.
"Hi!" She responds. "I'm Mrs. Granger-Weasley, but you can call me by my first name Hermione."
"Ok..." I say, not really understanding the whole point of the conversation.
"I was a Gryffindor. What do you think you'll be?" She asks.
I frown. "Well, my parents- Heck, my whole family except for a handful- were Slytherins, so I guess I'll be one too."
"That's nice," She says. I could tell she wanted to say something else; I watch her as she fidgets with her fingers.
I raise an eyebrow. Before I can say anything, a cool voice hisses, "Hermione Granger. We meet again,"
We turn to see the man, Scorpius' father. Scorpius was standing there too.
"Let's board the train, we have five minutes," Scorpius says, pointing at the clock. I look up and see he is right; It's nearly time to leave. We rush to the train.
"Leave me alone, Dr-" I hear the odd woman snap behind us.
Once we were on the train, we begin the hunt for a place to sit. "Where should we sit?" Scorpius asks.
"You don't have to sit with me," I tell him. "I'm sure you have other friends waiting for you."
He looks away. "No, I don't. It's quite lonely being Scorpius Greengrass."
"Oh." I blush. "In that case, it looks like that one is empty." We hurry in, sliding the door shut behind us.
After a minute's silence, I say, "For the record, it's lonely being Dianna Malfoy."
He looks up and gives me a faint smile.
The door slides open again, revealing Rose and two other people: Another redhead, and-
"Hanna Potter?" Scopius and I exclaim.
She blushes. "Yeah..."
Rose guestures to the other girl. "This is my cousin Lily, Lily Potter."
"Lily Potter? So you're the child Harry had with Ginny Weasley," I say.
She nods. Rose says, 'Yeah, she was born the year he died, so don't ask her about him."
Scorpius looks at her blankly. "I think you're forgetting all of our parents went to school together."
Before Rose can say something, I say, "Not mine... In fact, they'll older than your parents- By a lot."
They continue to argue over something while I think about this. How could my parents be that much older? Shouldn't I be the age of their parents by now?
A thought strikes me. "Hanna, aren't you a year or two younger than Harry?" I ask.
She nods slowly. "Yes... Why?"
"Wouldn't you be the age of their parents, then?" I say.
Hanna stares at me. "Yeah, but something happened when I was younger. I don't know what, but I'm eleven, so..."
"Where have you been, all these years?" Scorpius asks. "Not trying to pry in your life, but,"
She shrugs. "I don't remember." Hanna tells us. "The farthest back I can remember is a couple months ago, when I was found on the street."
"Who are you two, anyway?" Lily asks. "Rose didn't exactly introduce you."
Rose rolls her eyes, sitting down. I hadn't realized but they had been standing the last couple of minutes. The train had started to move, too, meaning we had already left the platform, and I didn't say one last goodbye to my parents. Oh well.
"I'm Scorpius M- Greengrass," Scorpius says, quickly looking away.
"I'm Dianna Malfoy," I tell them.
They nod. We sit in silence for a minute; Hanna was playing with her wand, Rose was whispering quietly to Lily about her own wand, Scorpius was looking at the window, and I was thinking about my parents still.
"Oh, you're doing magic? Let's see then!" Rose breaks the silence, staring at Hanna expectantly,
Hanna blushes. "Alright. I only know a couple of spells, but this is my favorite."
"Expelliarmus!" She shouts, pointing her wand at Rose.
Rose's wand goes shooting out of her hand into the air, where Hanna catches it gracefully. We applaud as she sits back down, Rose retrieving her wand.
I take out my wand (11 inch, hawthorne, unicorn hair) and tell Hanna to do it again.
"Holding it tight won't do anything," She says.
I shrug as she repeats the spell. As expected, my wand flies out of my hand. I pick it up, grinning. "Teach it to me sometime," I tell her.
She smiles.
For the remainder of the ride we talk about everything, including our families to our favorite things to do intil we reach the subject of Quidditch.
"No, that's not the rule-" Scorpius was saying.
"Wizards and witches, we shall arrive at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in ten minutes time." The man says over the loudspeaker.
Rose jumps up. "Ten minutes! And we haven't gotten our robes on!"
We rush to put our robes on, finishing just in time for the train to come to a halt. Lily rushes to the window. Scorpius joins her. The both suck in a big breath of air.
"Well? What do you see?" Rose asks excitedly.
"Are we at Hogwarts?" Hanna asks.
I join them at the window. We are here. Hogwarts! I couldn't believe I was actually seeing it.
Hogwarts is is a huge castle surrounded by a large sea of water. It was beautiful. Rose and Hanna come over. A collective gasp fills the air.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, wizards and witches."
So! There's Chapter Three! I hope everyone likes it... Please please please review, I want to know what you all think of it!
