Chapter 11– The Journey
Larissa watched as one by one, the Weasleys disappeared through the barrier onto platform nine and three quarters. Harry smiled at her as he too disappeared. She stared at it. It seemed pretty solid. She took her mothers had and started to run towards it, she braced herself, but no collision came. Larissa opened her eyes and saw a cherry red train and loads of parents and children. Larissa ran up to Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron.
'This is brilliant!' She said to them
'Yep.' Harry said, 'Come on, lets go and say good bye, we will be late otherwise.'
Harry and Larissa ran through the crowd to find Sirius and Bella. Larissa hugged her mum tightly. She wouldn't see either of them until Christmas.
'Bye sweetie.' Bella said, willing herself not to cry. She had only had Larissa for a year, and now she was going off to Hogwarts. 'Remember to write,' She said as Larissa hugged Sirius.
'Look after Lissa, Harry.' Sirius said to his god son. 'And have a good term.'
Harry and Larissa went to find Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. Once they found them they all climbed on to the train and found a compartment. Larissa took the seat by the window and as the train started to pull out of the station, waved to Sirius, Bella, Molly, and Arthur. And soon, they could no longer be seen.
Larissa took a mewing Snowbelle out of her cage and put her on the seat next to her. They all shared stories of Hogwarts, Larissa hoped that her years at Hogwarts would be just as full of adventures as her god brothers last two had been.
They all bought a small amount of sweets each off of the trolley and put it in a huge pile, and shared it. Snowbelle seemed to like the Berty Botts Every Flavour Beans, and ate as many as her little tummy could hold.
They all couldn't believe how much Snowbelle had grown. At first she would have happily slept in the palm of Larissa's hand but now she was the size of an average young cat, and preferred it on Larissa's lap.
'I'll just be a minuet,' Ginny said suddenly. Before anyone could answer she was out of the door, and in a few minuets returned with a girl.
'Would anyone like a copy of this week's quibbler?' She asked
'Luna,' Harry said
'Hello Harry Potter.'
'Please, sit with us.'
Luna sat down and stroked Snowbelle
'She's lovely.'
'Thank you.' Larissa said,
'Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood.' Luna said, only just noticing that Larissa was there.
'I'm Larissa Black.' Larissa wasn't quite sure what to make of Luna, she had radish earrings and a cork necklace.
'How do you all know each other?' Luna asked curiously
'Larissa's my god sister.' Harry said.
They all changed into their robes and Ginny said that she'd take Larissa to meet some other first years. They went to the end of the train, and opened the door to the first compartment.
'And then she-' a girl was saying 'Can we help you?' She asked rudely
'Oh, well we were just wondering whether you were first years.' Ginny said
'Yes.' Replied a girl with black shoulder length hair.
'Well, Larissa is too, and she just wanted to meet some people.'
'Well, hi. You've met us. Bye.' Said the first girl.
'Bye.' Larissa said shyly
They stepped outside of the girls compartment and decided that they would just go back to the others. They didn't fancy any more encounters like that one.
Soon the train came to a halt and there was a mad rush to get everyone off of the train. Larissa stepped out into the corridor and was shoved off of the train. She needed to get back on, she needed Snowbelle.
