Chapter Seven: The Platform And The Train

"How do I go through?" Nessie asks me in desperation. I chuckle and point at the wall between 9 and 10.

"Run through there." I say and her mouth and Emily's drop open.

"We'll die!" Emily cries and I start openly laughing.

"Let Emily go first. If she goes through then you go too. If she smashes, she's unhurt cause she's a vampire." I reason and Emily glares at me.

"Great. Let's go smash Emily because she can't be hurt. I feel loved, Mum." Emily says sarcastically.

I roll my eyes and Emily goes to the barrier and gently touches the barrier and her arm goes through.

"Let's go," says Emily as we all push our trolley's through. The loud whistle of the train brought my attention from my adopted daughter and the strange girl i've come to care for.

"C'mon, Mum! I'm going to be late!" A young male voice whines.

"If I walked any faster, i'd be galloping." An older woman huffs.

"Then let's go, horsey." the boy chuckles.

"James." the woman warns.

"Mum? Mum?" Emily tries to get my attention but the woman's voice sounds so familiar and I cant place it.

"Aunt Luna." Nessie tries herself and my head snaps to her attention.

"Luna? Excuse me…" I hear the woman tap on my back and I turned around.

"LUNA?" Ginny squeals and hugs me tight. I hug her back, smiling widely.

"Can I be mad at you? You've been gone for eighteen years." Ginny asks and I roll my eyes. Wrong move.

"What's wrong with your eyes? They aren't blue." Observes Ginny.

"Is that your daughter? Did you leave because you were pregnant?" Ginny keeps asking and I put up my hands.

"Calm down. Let me introduce you to my adopted daughter, Emily and the girl I am taking care of while her parents are in the US, Renesmee Cullen." I explain and Emily and Nessie smile at Ginny.

"Hi, girls. These are my children, James, who's going to Hogwarts this year, Albus, who's a year young, and little Lily Luna who's two years younger then Albus." Ginny introduces and I raise my eyebrow.

"Lily Luna?"

"She was going to be Luna Lily but she has Lily's genes so it came this way."

"Ah. Okay, can James take Nessie and Emily on the train? I'll follow them in a minute I just need to speak with you."

"Of course. James? Go get Renesmee and Emily and get them in a compartment."

"Thanks."

"No problem. What did you want to tell me."

"I'm going to take up the DADA teaching position and Emily is by my side taking over Transfiguration."

"That's great, Luna! Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Do you think that… maybe…"

"I'll take care of James. And Lily and Albus when their time comes.

"Thank you, that is all I could ever ask for."

Nessie POV

"Come on." James ushers us in a empty compartment. Emily lifts our two trunks and balancing them on three fingers each as she slides them on the shelf near the ceiling.

"How do you do that?" James asks in awe.

I reach out to touch his cheek and he moves back.

"It's okay, James. She isn't going to hurt you." Emily says then mutters something under her breath that I can't hear.

I lean forward and stop halfway. Emily stands up and walks out as I cup one side of his face and show him what Emily just did. Slowly, I pour out memories to him. Memories of my family, of seeing Jake when he imprinted on me, seeing the pack, watching Luna and Emily when they came back after being killed, seeing when my mom tried to kill Jake for nicknaming me Nessie and imprinting on me, hunting, the taste of blood. Eventually I stop but don't remove my hand. I wait for the familiar glazed look to disappear.

The train starts moving and Emily and Aunt Luna aren't on the train.

"We need to get them!" James exclaimed and moved to stand up but I put a heavy unmovable vampire hand on his leg.

"Wait. They'll make it." I say confidently. I start to, secretly, grow less confident as Kings Cross is now out of view. Then suddenly, Emily and Luna are by my and James's side.

"See." I gloat.

"We ran to make it. I had to finish talking to your mum." Luna explains as she stays standing in the middle of the closed compartment.

"Why don't you sit down?" James asks awkwardly.

"Sitting down is as comfortable as standing to Emily and I. But, okay." Luna sits down beside Emily.

"Come in, guys." Emily calls and two sheepish looking boys come in.

Of course, vampire beauty attracts many and younger boys prefer older girls.

So one of them develops a crush on Emily.

"Are you a seventh year?" The brunette boy with dark eyes asks.

"Stuck it forever," Emily admits and the boy nods, as if he didn't hear her.

"You are gorgeous." he mumbles.

"That's great to know. You know what else?" Emily leans in close and he shakes his head.

"I'm your Transfig teacher." Emily says, smiling and I elbow her. She doesn't move. I doubt she even felt it.
