Storm smiled to herself. She couldn't believe it was already here, the first day of school. She still couldn't believe it. She got dressed in her muggle clothing. Her pureblood mother was a big believer in using muggle customs. The Labay house had much muggle technology such as; a laptop, a television, phones, cell phones, cameras, and more. Athene Labay barely even used spells anymore.
"Storm! Are you ready?" Athene called from the kitchen.
"Yes Mum!" Storm replied while styling her hair. She walked to the kitchen. "Where's dad?" She asked noticing that Walsh wasn't in the kitchen.
"He went to start the car." Athene replied. "Do you have everything you need? Your owl? All your textbooks?" Athene asked worriedly.
Storm laughed. "Yes mum. I have everything I need! Including my tooth brush, hair brush, nail polish remover, cell phone, Walkman, perfume, deodorant, camera, my winter boots, and my winter jacket." Storm smiled reassuringly.
Athene smiled. "I'm glad." Just then there was a knock on the door. "That must be you father. Did you leave your trunk ready by the door last night?"
"Yes mum."
"Alright good." Athene went to get the door. There stood Walsh with Halo perched on his head. "Oh my." Athene said giggling at the strange site.
"The bird flew out of the cage." Walsh sighed. Storm laughed as she outstretched her arm and Halo flew towards her. "Amicia! Are you coming?" Walsh called.
"Yeah. I'm coming!" Amicia called as she walked down the stairs braiding her long black hair.
"Let's get in the car shall we?" Athene suggested and the family walked out together. The car ride to the train station was boring to say the least. Athene and Walsh talked the whole while about how proud they were of their daughters. Amicia looked out at the rainy streets of London as she listened to her music. Storm wasn't really paying attention to anything in particular. She was too busy wondering how many friends she'd make at Hogwarts as Amicia texted her friends. Storm knew she would be happy if she made any. Storm had never been really popular at school.
"You know dear," Walsh's voice interrupted Storm's thoughts "If you don't make it into Gryffindor we won't be upset."
"That's quite true. We wouldn't disown you or anything. We'll still be proud of you a hundred percent." Athene spoke up.
"Thanks but I didn't even think about it." Storm said realizing that she had always assumed she would be a Gryffindor.
"Well If you don't make it into Gryffindor, don't you dare beat yourself up about It. It's always possible that you'd end up In another house." Walsh said.
"Okay." Storm said finally starting to think about the house that she might be put in. Once again her thoughts were interrupted when she realized that the family was now King's Cross. They found a parking spot and grabbed the first trolley they found. Amicia helped Walsh load the trunk onto the trolley. Athene already knew where to go from her years at Hogwarts. The Labay's stopped when go close to a wall by Platform 9. Storm was confused. She had never been told what happened from here. "What now?" I asked.
"Charge through the wall sweetie." Athene said.
"What?" Storm asked scared that her mother had lost her mind.
"Go ahead dear." Walsh said "We'll be right here. Amicia can go with you if you like."
Storm looked at him confused. She was about to go through when she heard her mother scream. Storm jumped.
"Molly!" Her mum shrieked.
"Athene!" A lady with red hair shouted. Her four sons and one daughter seemed very confused. Storm noticed that there was a boy with jet black hair with them. He was the only one without red hair, the odd one out If you will. She recognized the boy right away. It was Harry Potter. The boy who lived. The boy who Voldemort couldn't kill.
Harry and one of the four boys seemed to be my age. I walked over to the two of them. "HI. I'm Storm Labay."
"Hi. I'm Ron Weasley." The red haired boy my age said. "This Is Ginny," he pointed at the girl "Fred, George" the two boys put up their hands when he said their names "and Percy." the oldest one smiled.
"I'm Harry. Harry Potter." Harry said.
"Pleased to meet you." Storm said to all them. She smiled.
"It's mine and Harry's first year. Fred and George are in their third. Percy's in fourth and Ginny we'll be at Hogwarts next year." Ron said.
"Cool. I'm In first year too." Storm smiled.
"Alright Weasleys. Let's go." Mr. Weasley said. Percy pushed his trolley through the door and disappeared. Fred and George went after.
"Alright Ron, take Harry and Storm with you." Mrs. Weasley shouted.
Storm walked over to her parents. She couldn't believe she was leaving them for almost a year. She started to cry. Walsh bent down to pick her up.
"We're going to miss you darling." Walsh said as he also cried.
"I love you daddy." Storm said. Walsh's heart was breaking knowing that he wouldn't his youngest daughter for a long time.
"I love you too baby girl." Walsh said as he put Storm down.
"Goodbye sweetie." Athene said. "I know you'll miss us but you can write us every day. I know you'll have the time of your life at Hogwarts just like I did."
"Bye mum."
"Good luck munchkin. You'll be fine." Amicia said giving her sister a tight hug and kissed her on the cheek. "Maybe you'll meet a cute boy."
Storm giggled. "I'll miss you Amicia. I love you."
"I love you too. Have the time of your life. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Bye mum. Bye dad." Ron hollered before we left.
"Wow." Storm said when the three of them arrived on Platform 9 3/4.
"I know." Ron said.
"This seems so crazy." Harry said.
"You were raised by muggles weren't you?" Storm asked Harry. In hindsight it probably wasn't the best thing to ask.
"Yeah." Harry said "And I'm still getting used to the idea that all this is real."
"It's pretty obvious." I said. Once again, not the smartest thing to say. Harry didn't know what to say to that.
"Why don't we go get ourselves a place to sit." Ron suggested. "Fred and George said that it fills up fast."
Harry and Storm both nodded. They gave their trolleys to the train driver. Storm took her purse into the train with her. The trio walked into the train in silence. Soon enough, the three of them found an empty seating area. They walked in one at a time. Storm sat beside Ron who sat in front of Harry. Storm took out her cell phone to let Amicia know that she was on the train. She put on her earphones and hit play. The train started moving then.
After five minutes, a lady came by asking "Would you like anything off the trolley dears?"
Ron turned her down and so did Storm but Harry said "We'll take the whole lot."
"Whoa." Was all Ron could mutter.
Ron asked Harry questions about his upbringing and about the scar on his forehead that Voldemort had given him. Storm, on the other hand, didn't have any interest in knowing about the scar or even muggles since she already knew so much about them.
All of a sudden, a girl with brown bushy hair entered the room. "Excuse me, have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." I said.
"No we haven't." Storm said. "I'm Storm Labay."
"Pleased to meet you I'm Hermione Granger." She smiled at Storm.
"I'm Ron. Ron Weasley." Ron said as he ate some sweets.
"Pleasure." she said disgusted. I turned to Harry. "I know who you are. You're Harry Potter!" He smiled. "I'm terribly sorry but I have to get going. Someone has to find Neville's toad." Hermione turned to Storm. "Would you like to come, Storm?"
"No thanks Hermione." Storm replied
Hermione smiled. "Maybe I'll see you three around." She smiled again, then walked out.
"She seems really nice." Storm said.
"Yeah. She seemed alright." Ron said.
Storm put her music back on and played a game on her phone while Harry and Ron talked about the sweets they were eating.
